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.
