MANURES.
Any substance applied to land
that affords nutriment to crops
comes under tho head of manure.
It matters not whether tho sub
stance contains .only one of tho
fourteen essential elements of
growth or contains all of them that
it is possible for any single sub
stance to contain, it is manure.
Manure and fertilizer are synon-
tnous terms, and there is no need
for making one stand for certain
materials that the other doeB not
include. The disposition to do
this is indicated by the answer
made by a fairly intelligent far
mer recently to the question
whether he used an£ fertilizer on
his crop, and he replied “No; he
onh used home-made manure.”
With him, as with many others,
manure substances that came in
bags and barrels, the commer
cial kind, was “fertilizer,” while
stable and other matter was “ma
nure.”
Nearly all farmers who read
agricultural papers intelligently
understand by now that of the
fourteen different elements that
entei into organic matter, it is
necessary to supply only three of
them to.wotn land to enable it to
make good crops, and these are
potash, phosphoric acid and nitro
gen.
In making this statement a
very important explanation is
always called for in order to pro
perly .understand the true princi
ples of fertility and plant life. It
is very generally neglected by
agricultural writers, and tho re
sult is the undiscriininating read
er is left under the impression
that only these three elements
are really essential to plant growth
One may apply nitrogen, potash
and phosphoric acid to soil that
is utterly destitute of humus and
fail to get a profitable crop. The
presence of humus in tho soil
implies a presence of the other
elements that are also indispensa
ble to plant growth.
Nitrogren, in its last analysis,
is the same thing, whatever the
substance that may afford it,
whether this be stable manure,
cow manure, or other animal mat
ter, cotton seed, nitrate of soda,
sulphate of ammonia, dried
blood, guano or raw bone, etc.
Tlie phosphoric acid in like
manner is identical in the va
rious substances—bone dust,
“acid phosphate.” “hull ash,” and
the like.
And potash in kainit, muriate
potash,wood ash, cotton seed ash
is the same.
The question with the farmer is
to get the largest amount of these
principal elements for the small
eet amount of money.
The practical farmer of long ex
perience is not dependent upon
the teachings of science to enable
him to appreciate the practical
value of certain substances for the
purpose of manure. Tho liquid
and solid excrement’of the horse
is now what it has been for all
time—a complete and reliable ma
nure, being good or better just
in proportion to the richness of
the food consumed by tho animal.
It is the same, he knows, with
the manure of cattle, poultry,
etc.
He has a practical knowledge
of the fact that bones of all ani
mals when ground or crushed
into fine particles is one of the
very best manures that he can
possibly get.
It is not necessary to profitable
results for him to know just how
much nitrogen and phosphoric
acid is contained in the bone.
The same practical farmer knows
that hard wood ashes especially
are rich in potash, and that they
make a good manure for his grass
and root crops. Practical ex
perience taught him that cotton
seed was a good manure long be
fore ho hoard that science had
recommended it highly for the
purpose.
Cattle fed on cotton seed meal,
wheat bran, and pea or corn meal
produce a much better quality of
manure than cattle that get their
living off of poor pastures and in
ferior hay. The first may be
worth instrinsically three or four
times as much as tlio latter. The
same is true’of stable manure. A
horse or mule that is fed on corn
and oats and good hay produces
manure worth more than that
that is made from pasture and
poor fodder.
A fair quality of stable manure
is found to contain about three-
fourths of one per cent, of ammo
nia. This is the chief element of
value.in stable manure, though it
contains in small quantities all
the other elements of nutrition.
It is therefore a “complete ma
nure.” But when copiously ap
plied to land to mako cfopa that
are grown for their seed it is
always an advantage to sup
ply an additional quality of tho
two principal mineral elements—
potash and phosphoric acid, es
pecially the latter.
No farmer yet ever had too
mnch manure, and the reason
why such a large trade has been
built up in commercial manures
arises from tho fact that it is im
possible lor any farmer in the old
er sections of a country to make
anything like tho quantity that
he can use profitably. Of course
no farmer should resort to this
kind until he has utilized all that
ade or can make on his

Best Thing He Ever Saw.
The fol owing is an extract from a
letter written bv Mr. i). A. Reynolds,
editor and proprietor of the Herald,
Lyons, Midi., under date of January
11th, 1890, “You will observe that I
havogiven your advertisement posi
tion on the first page of Herald, while
other proprietary medicines have hud
to take the run of the paper. The
reason fordoing this is, that upon le-
ceiving your “copy” a number of the
cures effected seemed similar to that
of which my little son was suffering, a
case-of blood poison, or irritable sores
breaking out nil over his body. To
day he is entirely free from disease,
and one bottle of Swift’s Specific (8,
S. 8.) did the work. Now this is the
reason for giving you the position, as
I consider Swift’s Specific (S. S. S.)
the best medicine I ever saw. I wish
you unlimited success in your busi
ness."
The above is a sample of letters
which are coming to us all the time.
S. S. S. is nearer infallible than any
remedy made, and has probably done
more good than any medicine known
to mankind. We will mail a Treatise
on Blood and Skin Diseases to all who
will send their address.

Epoch.
The transition from long, lingering anti
painful sickness to robust healtli marks
an epoch in the life of tlio individual. Such
a remarkable event is treusured in the
memory and the agency whereby the good
health has been attained is gratefully
blessed. Hence it is that so much is hoard
in praise of Electric Bitters. So many feel
they owe their restoration to health, to
tho use of the Great Alterative and Tonic.
If you are troubled with any disease of
Kidneys; Liver or Stomach, of long or
short standing you will surely find relief
by use of Electric Bitters. Hold at 60c. and
