Merely a Pardonable Error.

Brookfield quietly remarked: “But,!
my dear sir, you are not really at!
all good ill the part. I have never
seen you do anything well, but in
this part you are simply naughty.”
“Indeed!” said the young Inan,
bridling up. “I suppose so distin

deny my being an actor at all!”
“I certainly should,” said Mr.
Brookfield.
“Then what would you call me r

“Well,” said Brookfield, with a

A Pew Words about Fertilizing.
' "... : M ■ '
Subscribe for the Home Journal
The Southern Cultivator.
This important subject seems
to need a little discussion. . We
have been buying millions ot dol-
kio worth cf commercial f
ers and chemical preparations,
but we seem to know very little
about them. We have come to
this conclusion from the numer
ous letters we get askihg about
their use and effect.
Very few fnrmfAs seem to. know
what they want or how to find out
what they need. So .much has
been said- about fertilizing the
soil that most of us have conclud-
that we can and do fertilize the*
soil by the use of chemicals called
fertilizers. This is a mistake.
These chemical preparations do
not and can not fertilize the soil.
They are not made for that pur
pose and should not be made for
that purpose. Have any of you
ever succeeded in making the soil
richer or permanently better by
the use of chemical compounds?
Do you not now use more of these
per acre in order to get as good
results as you did when you fust
began using them? If so, why is
this?
These so-called fertilizers are
not made to enrich the soil, find
they do not do so. They are pre
pared solely for the puspose of in
creasing the growth of the' plant
and the food for fruit of bhe
plant. They are valued accords
ing to the valuable plant-food
they contain. They are intended
to to feed the plant, not the soil.
It is the crop, no#the soil, you
wish* to fertilize. It makes prac
tically no difference whether the
soil is red or gray, clayey or bRi-
dy;$)ut it matters very much
what kind of plant you wish to
feed.
So, in purchasing ferlilizsrs,
you must have reference to the
wants of the plants or the crop
pou wish to grow. What do you
buy, anyway? You get an 8-2-2
preparation, and you pay for 160
pounds of phosphoric acid, 40
pounds of ammonia, and 40
pounds of potash—240 pounds of
soluble plant food—and 1,760
pounds of what? Stop and think
awhile. What is this 1,760
pounds? You pay for it. You
pay freight on it. You pay in
spection fees on it. You pay for
lacking and branding it. You
pay for hauling and handling it.
And what is it? Is it worth any
thing to you? Does it enrich
your farm? Does it increase ycur
crop? Not at all. It does none
of these thengs. It is simply
dead weight to hold and convey
the 240 pounds. A good deal of
it is sulphuric acid, which is pois
onous to plants; but most of it is
rock, slate and sand or cinders.
Now Binders if spread pretty
thickly on the soil will kill nut
grass, and we think it likely that
slate would do the same. But
car-loads of refuse slate are being
used as filler for commercial gu-
auos. They fill and they weigh
and they pay the festilizer manu
facturers, but not the faamers.
Not these inert and weighty
substances, but something that
will feed your crops is what you
need. Neither sand nor clay are
plant-food, so it does not make
any difference whether your soil
is sand or clay. You want the
same kind of plant food for eith
er. All plants or crops feed on
much the same food; that is, as
far as the soil furnishes it. There
are fourteen mineral elements
that enter into all plants that we
grow for farm crops. The soil is
well supplied with all of these.
The three chief elements some
times fail to be in soluble condi
tion. This is the only reason we
ever buy fertilizers or need to buy
them. But deep and thorough
culture will greatly increase the
supply of soluble food in any soil.
This is true of sandy as well as
clay, and hence much the same
results follow from subsoiling
either kind of soil. We are thus
making available plant-food in
stead of buying it.

Woman is often referred to by
man as “doubling his joys and
halving his sorrows.” That may
be complimentary but it would
seem to be rather hard on the
woman. For in plain terms it
means that where things are go
ing well with the man his wife
makes them go better. But when
things are going ill with him, he
Expects the wife to share half his
burden. And there’s more truth
than poetry in this presentation
of masculine selfishness. Men
don’t appreciate the fact that the
strain of motherhood alone is a
burden bigger than all the loads
that rest upon male shoulders.
They see the wife grow thin,
pale, nervous and worrwwithout a
thought that she is over-burden
ed. Among the pleasant letters
received by Dr. Pierce are those
from husbands who have waked
up before it was too late to the
crushing burdens laid upon the
wife, and in the search for help
have found in Dr. Pierce’s Favor
ite Prescription a restorative
which has given back to the moth
er the health of the maiden and
the maiden’s happiness. “Favor
ite Prescription” always helps,
and almost always cures. It has
perfectly cured ninety-eight out
of every hundred women who have
used it when afflicted with diseas
es peculiar to women.
