Without question, fertilizers increase orops, but it U easily possible to so use the fertilizers that the tiu:reased pro- duction will not pay the oost of the fer- tilizers used. With a proper use of fertilizers thir- ty bushels of wheat per acre may be regularly gotten, where, with the usu- al hit-or-niias, way uf using farmyard manure only al)out fifteen bushels can be depended upon. Ten dollars' worth of chamical fertilizer, properly propor- tioned and properly used, will undoubt- edly produce a crop worth far more than ten dollars. IVenty dollars" or even flOO worth ot phosphate alone, ap- plied per acre, would not double a crop aa compared with an unmanured acre, nor would an «xoesaive quantity of ix>t- ash alone prove benefusial. On the con- trary such applications would injure the crop and prove worse than no manure at all. The same is true uf an exoesaive use of nitrogen without iratoidi and phos- phates. .\U of the reputable official fertilizer experiments show that com- plete fertilizers are necessary, and that potash and phosphates must be used regularlyâ€" nitrogen may !» largely obtained through the cultivation of clovers cow-iieos, field, peas, etc. For all grain crops the fertilizer must contain fully as mucu i>otash and phosphoric acid ; a small amouut of ni- trogen is always advisable, but the far- mer cannot a/ford to pay much mon- ey for nitrogen when he can grow bis own so cheaply. For fruit and vege- table crojis, t he potash must nearly dou- ble the phuupbaie. it ia needless to go Into the actual fertilizer needs of dif Japan^s note regarding the "annexa-j ferent crops here.

The old proverb that he who makes G^tâ„¢eadir'5»"'8aid witto feminine im- tw" bladee ol grass grow where onl.v pulsiveneoa. one sprang tip before is a public liene- faotor, ought to l>e widened in its scope so as to take In the dairyman who, by careful management increases the val- ue of hie herd. , It is no slight achievement to have been able to take a lot of poor cows which scarcely paid for their keeping and bring them up to the |K>int where the quantity of milk proiluoed is fr<Mn one-fourth to one-half greiater than at first, and the value of the product in- creased in still greater proportion. This is what many herdsmen have done and are now doing. The man who is satisfied to drift along In the old way is unwilling to believe the reports of those who have built up their dairies, from small be- ginnings to a place of profit. "Stuff and nonsense I" be says ; " i know that no cow can be made to produce four hundred pounds of butter in a year. Why, that is more than any four of my Qows will do, and they are good ones, tool" We may well believe this lat^ ter statement If we visit his farm and note his methods. Oows selected with no idea of their true value as milk or butter makers; poor pastures; scanty supply of water ; unventilated stables ; out-of-date appUanoes in thu house; slipshod ways of caring for milk, and butter ; no dairy paper on the table â€" can't afford to take it â€" these Indicate truthfully the state of this man's busi- And still, we do not know that many men have brought their dairies up to the point of perfection spoken above; and they are not yet satisfied. It is possible bo start with just such a herd lia has been described, and, by making it a study, so elevate the capacity of the individual members of the flock, that in a few yeaits it will be a aoume of profit Instead of an exiiense to the owner. LICK Though not a d^ease, are generally classed as auch for a louae-afflioted fowl is OS bad off as one tliat is diseased. It seems hard that fowls should lie made to suffer BO much inuonvenienoe, and their owner so much loss, because of un- thrift through neglect to provide means whereby they may keep themselves free from lice. Cleanliness will do it. When lice have got a foothold in a flock, or la their quariera, the real work begins, for they must be dislodg- ed or health and profit are gone. The symptoms of lice are various. Bowel disease in summer ia one ; when ohicks are sleepy or drowsy, look out for lioe ;. when fowhi refuse U> ea>t ; when they look puny or grow slowly : when they die suddenly ; when there is a gradual failing or wasting away ; when there is constant crying or loss of feathers, look out for lice. Even when houst-s are kept oleon, large Ixxly li(» may lie founil on chicks; these came from the adult fowls. A ohick will oever get these lice unless old fowls are near ; that la why lirootlcr chicks grow faster than tliuse under hens. The large lioe will kill duckssudden- ly. They Kill nearly ;ill the young tur- keys tliat die that aro not killed by wot and daonp. Whenever you notice a sick fowl ducting il.self look for li(». if the house is kept clean, and a dust liaUi provided tlie hens will drive the little mit«H awny, but it ia not easy to get rid of the large lice. I''inely sift- ed ixxiil rishes or dry dirt, es|)ecially road dust, is exKllont. A little sul- phur added to the dust Inth, is a help as well lie a little alr-slaUed linio.

Statistics show that tboiiuMliral pro- feaaion is more prone to suiciile tiian any otlier. Dating the last thi«e years the numlier of suicides occurring among physicions has lieen, i-es|>ectiv»;y. forty- niiue, and foirty-^even |>er anniun, an average Of nearly one to 2,0UU ; or, as the death rate among the phy.six-ians about twemty-five to l.O'JO, nearly one- fiftieth of all the de^itbs la the pro- fesiun bav» Iiceu by Kuicide. it has been suggested that an explanation of this tetulency may liei found in the de- velo|niu.>nt of morbid fancies in the mltud of a doctor, on luxoiuit of his con- stant association with tiie sick and dy- ing, or Ijecuuse he has the requisite knowledge of how to die painlessly and ponvonienUy. A medlcai journal dissents from all th^>e views and holds that the leading factor is tbje acoessibiiity of the [loia- onous drugs, which ai>» almost invari- iubly used. Suicide is largely a matter of insane impulse, imagine a man fa- tigued in liody ;uid deprassed in spirits â€" as the doctor very often is â€" swayed by an overwliwlauing ooiiviction of the utter woarinesa of life to the impulse of suicide, if hi-i bad to put on his hat walk to the drug Bt,orw ivnid tax his in- gwuuily for a lie wit h which to explain his desire for jioison, he might [xist- I>ane tho f.atai act fi>Mii mere inertia, or he may nu'et a friiciiul or have his iinteiiest in life aromsed by one of a multitude ot every-day occurrences, or physicial exercise uuiy briiig liini to Itia senses. If, however, iis is tho case with almost every doctor, he haa simply to feel in liis pockets, or walk across his office to get a deadliy poisooi, the imputlljo may !» carried into execution before anything can hapiien to sup- pliant it in the brain.
