llhlll I WlalllllllU FOR FERTILIZER IN THIS REGION ft. mmmmm Farmers of Wayne . and Adjoining Counties Are Using v Large Supplies. t By WILLIAM Ft. SANBORN The prosperous farmers of Wayne and adjoining counties seem to have Indulged very freely in fertilizer of late. At least some dealers report a heavy spring demand on top of the large sales made last fall, both from Wayne and adjoining counties for Richmond supplies quite a wide area in this line, carload shipments being

made to most convenient stations to accommodate. We wish we might 6tate that -the back yard gardener had also been a free purchaser of plants, xseeds and fertilizers, but thi3 does not 6eem to be the case; largely because of the backwardness of the season for putting In gardens. The past week being warm and sunny a whole lot of gardening was done and there was more life in the plant and seed Industry, speaking locally. Omer G. Wheian paid on Saturday that the home garden idea had lagged considerably this spring and that, in his opinion as judged by his sales of plants and garden fertilizer, that not more than 50 per cent ,as compared with 1918 planting, had been done this spring, up to this time. So Let's Go! This is no time for procrastination, gentlemen and ladies; now is the accepted time, when Nature smiles and encourages, so Let's Go! The garden is the thing; it means health, relaxation, a change of thought and occupation and a whole lot of satisfaction in seeing things grow. Then there Is the enjoyment at the table and the saved dollars for other investment or your savings fund. He who hath soil In which to plant and grow things and hath no garden, will a little later on be of all men most miserable. Those who have plants to sell, are making very liberal and attractive displays just now, and prices are reasonable. Considerable care is necessary in the use of garden manure for best lesults. for there is a difference between intensive garden cultivation and farming a large field acreage. There are manures which "burn" the tender plants and those which do not. In the planting of early potatoes in gardens where ; sheep manure is used the tubers should be covered with a layer v of soil, then top dressed with the manure so that it may leach ' down through the hill to feed the vine as it develops. By this method you get quicker results and no '"burn." Where barn yard fertilizer is used in gardens it should be old and well rotted to avoid undue heat where used. In the proper season Old Sol provides all the heat needed for effective growth. - Transplant Tomatoes Now. This Is the ime to set out tomatoes. The ground is warm, and re

member that tomatoes love the sun, so plant accordingly. If you set stakes or fix frames for the vines to clamber on you will be well rewarded tor the little extra trouble and these will keep the fruit from trailing in the dust, or the garden mud, after a rain storm. Yes, that's right, "fruit." for fruit it is. according to the best authorities. By selection, cross fertilization, etc., we have a large number of types of tomatoes and not only are there red but alBO pink and yellow varieties that are worth while. But tomatoes are not the only thing to rush into the ground just now; a glance at the displays of plants will remind you of peppers, for instance, and you really must have peppers, of course. About Fertilizer Sales. "Locally speaking, spring fertilizer paleB were about normal, with us. But taking the country over manufacturers claim that little more that half the expected number of tons have been sold this season." This statement was made by Clendenin & Co., who manufacture locally. No complaint was made as to last fall business, but simply as to the spring de

mand. The McConaha company remarked that there was nothing boisterous doing in the line of fertilizers during the spring season, which is now closing, but that their fall sales, regardless of high prices had been very satisfactory. Frank Jones re- ' ported the sale of a full car over the

phone to various buyers, one day last week and said that the last three cars ordered to fill in at the last minute were cleaned out as quickly as received, and these were in addition to 'the numerous cars ordered early and which were supposed to be all the fertilizer he could need for the season. Many farmers are using fertilizer broadcast, so to speak, that is they are puttting it In with a big drill, aside from also using it in the planters. Past experience tells them. It will pay well to dp so in bushels of corn and this explains the urgentbelated demand, and because, too, a whole lot of corn has been planted since the sun began beaming over the landscape. With so many pleasant days it Is fair to presume that all corn in this vicinity is now in the ground and some early planted fields were cultivated for the first time during the past week. Farmers are becoming more careful and discriminating as to the use of fertilizer, from year to year. One concern has this slogan: "Buy pounds

of plant food instead of tons of fertil

izer." The men who use this slogan claim, however, that their "filler" also contains valuable plant food, which, admittedly, is not always the case by a long shot. But we are not going into any controversy on this subject. We lay no claim to knowing a blamed thing about the merits of various fertilizers, by comparison, but we do know that various growths need different soil treatment, just as differing soils do. This is as far as we

had traveled when we got our diplo-

ma as an agriculturist. As every farmer knows fertilizers have been costing "a-plenty" and if they are to be cheaper next fall depends on wages, very largely, not only as to the blending at the factories where the filler Is put in, but also as to the labor costs at the chemical plants.

HILE one would natural

ly think that farmers and dairymen would un

derfeed, thelf stock, ifat all,. In the winter month when feed is high, it is a fact that the greater part of the underfeeding la at the time when more or less pasture is available. "The practice Is td turn the herd on pasture about the middle of May and then along about June the cows come In" with their sides bulging. Their milkflow picks up." We look at the milk' pails and the paunches of the cows stuffed with the new grass, and say, 'Well, there's no need of foundering them. We'll just leave off the feed from now on.' It is left off and It stays off all through the summr; all through the dry August , weeks when grass gets short, and clear on until frost drives the cows Into the barn. "In consequence many cows go into winter insufficiently nourished. Grass is but wet hay. And while farmers have an idea that It is an all jsufficient feed they would consider anyone crazy who would feed cows on

wet hay alone in the winter time,"

says A. C. Palmer of Indiana in Hoard's Dairyman. The natural function of the cow is first to maintain her bodily strength and to produce merely milk enough for her young. We have made an ar tlflclal machine of this cow, and It is an unnatural function to produce milk in large quantities. "Green grass," says Mr.- Palmer, "will furnish the nutrition for a cow's body maintenance, and Its appetizing and stimulating qualities will encourage milk production, it is true; but all too often the stimulating quality reacts, and by encouraging greater milk production when she does not receive a greater supply of feed, het body makes up the difference so that by the end of the grass season even a good grass . season her. body is weaker than In the spring." Mr. Palmer says that In 1917 he fed bis cows until June 10th end, like his neighbors, gave them pasture alone until September 15th. when their steadily decreasing milk flow made him hurry delayed feed shipments. But in spite of aH that he could feed them with rich concentrates, the damage had been done, and the milk flow decreased tnti! time to dry the cows.

Professor H. Strauss, M. D., of tho Royal Charity Hospital, says, "The .cause for an attack of gout, rheumatism, lumbago, is supplied by the increase of uric acid ia the blood scrum, the result of various causes, the most frequent of which is renal. Before an attack, one suffers sometimes from headache, neuralpa, twinges of pain here and there." When your kidneys feel like lumps of lead, when the back hurts or the urine is cloudy, full of sediment, or you are obliged to seek relief two or three tifnes during the night i when you suffer with sick headache, or dizzy, nervous spells, acid stomach; or you have rheumatic pains or lumbago, gout, sciatica when the weather is bad, do not neglect the warning, but try simple means. Take six or eight glasses of water during .tiro day, then obtain at your nearest drug store 'An-uric' (anti-uric acid). This is the discovery of Dr. Pierce of T the Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y-. An"'uric" is an antidote for this uric acid poisoning and dissolves uric acid in the body much as hot coffee dissolves sugar. "Anuric" will penetrate into the joints and muscles, and dissolve the poisonous accumulations. It will stamp out tosms. Send 10 cents to Dr. Pierce's Invalids otel, Buff Jo, N. Y., for trial package.

PEORIA WOMAN SUFFERED FOR

EIGHTEENYEARS Mrs. Welsh Spent Twelve Hundred Dollars Before She Found Relief by Taking Tanlac- Gains Thirty-five Pounds. "Eighteen years ago this spring," said Mrs. Annie Welsh of 1204 Antionette street, Peoria, Illinois, "while we were living on the farm, I lost my health and have never Been a well day since that time until a few weeks ago. Why, if anybody had told me there was a medicine that could relieve me of all these eighteen years suffering in so short a time I would not have believed them. But Tanlac has done all this for me and more, for I have gained thirty-five pounds In weight on seven bottles of the medicine. "I was first taken with an attack of acute indigestion and lay right at the point of death. The cramps and pains in my stomach simply can't be described, and after this spell I lost weight and strength very fast and soon had no health at all. I suffered from what they call autointoxication a poisoned system and took so much strong medicine trying to get rid of the acid that my stomach got In an awful condition. Then I wa3 taken with rheumatism and had it so bad in my arms and legs that I could hardly stand It. Then my kidneys commenced to bother me and my back hurt me so bad at times that I would actually scream. Many a night I couldn't sleep on account of my suffering and had become almost a confirmed invalid. I could eat nothing much except toast, my back was nearly killing me and I had rheumatism so bad I was afraid 1 would lose the use of all my limbs. "I was unable to do the least bit of

work and while we spent all of twelve hundred dollars for treatment and medicines nothing ever did me any good until a friend of mine who had used Tanlac persuaded me to try it. Well, I had not taken Tanlac long until I knew I had at last found the right medicine. I have taken seven bottles now and every sign of rheumatism is gone, my kidneys never bother me any more and my stomach is in as good condition as it ever was. In fact I am a perfectly well woman, enjoy as. good health as I ever did in my life, and this seems almost too good to be true after suffering for eighteen years as I did. Why, I can do all the work, washing and everything, for my family of nine children and feel none the worse from It. So I have the best of reasons

for praising Tanlac and if I could speak to every suffering person personally I would advise them to try it." Tanlac is sold In Richmond by Clem Thistlethwaite's stores, and the lead-. ins druggist in every town. Adv.

Wliat Standardization

We hear it said that the mechanism of the automobile is standardized. That . is to say, the vital parts or units , are similar in all cars both in function and in purpose, yet we know them to be made differently, of varying material, design and workmanship. No W' let us tell you about the standardized watch. That is to say, a watch the qualities of which are uniformity of material and workmanship, perfection of design to which may be added intrinsic and excelling worth not found in any other watch made here or abroad. There is only one watch in the world that can claim certain, undeniable superiorities of design and material which make it a different watch in regard to its "works" (which produce time) and that watch is the American made watch. Let us see what standardizatian really means. Suppose you own a Swiss watch. Its mainspring was bought in the open market in short lengths of varying quality a spring that was hardened and tempered in short lengths so, this kind of a mainspring is an uncertain quantity, and remember, the mainspring supplies the power of the watch. Or, take the balance wheel of the Swiss watch. It was made by hand, out of steel, somewhere,

4,000 miles away, brought to a factory by an individual and put in some Swiss watch. Swiss balance wheels are made in a thousand different homes by a thousand different people and carried to different factories where these wheels are assembled in watches. And the balance wheel governs the time of a watch. The mainspring of an American made watch is cut from a long roll of uniform steel of special quality then tempered in resilient form by a secret process. Every spring is a known quantity not one different from another and scores of tons of them are made every year. This is scientific standardization; nothing hap-hazard here. The balance wheel of an American made watch is made of steel and brass, forged together in a single unit- an American inventionThe static quality of one metal counteracts the elasticity of the other, taking care of expansion and contraction, the sphericity and weight of this important part of a watch. That is why American made watches are such good time-keepers in any temperature. And we could go" on talking American standardization give you many more examples of those exclusive American inventions that have placed "America First" in watchmaking.

When you buy an American made watch you own a watch chosen by the horologists of the leading nations as a standard of quality that placed it first in their expert, well-trained estimation over all other watches examined for their respective governments. When you own an American made watch you do not have to worry when it needs cleaning or oiling or repairs. Every watch repairer in America knows what standardization means. Parts are quickly obtainable. American watches are more easily repaired than watches of any other make. The whole watch is standardized. It is the American made watch that is and has been the despair of the Swiss artisan because of its beauty, its uniformity of material, its superiority of design its standardization. We recommend only American made watches and carry an excellent stock, including hundreds of patterns in such standard makes as the Elgin, Illinois, Waltham, Hamilton. South Bend, and others. Every one is a standard watch and embodying principles of advanced construction not found in any but American made watches.
