Good Fertilizer Pays
There is no longer any question as to
Whether or not Fertilizer pays.
The only question is, which will
pay best. And we have solved
that question as to
All Grain said Grass
Crops
by furnishing; the Banner.
No farmer need worry his mind
now in the least about what, kind of
fertilizer he ought to use on these
crops. All he need d when in need
of fertilizer for com, outs or grass U
to hitch up and drive until he find;'
the Hanner. There is not a" brand
oi the market tliat will produce
batter resn Its. Do not be persuaded
to t:ike any chances by using a:i
inferior grade of fertilizer, made by
someone you don't know anything
Take no risk in trying to save five
cents you may loose several bushels
of corn or oats.

which the supposed possessors of sueli

The shepherd distinguishes sheep
where the town dweller sees nothing,
because the one Is accustomed to the
place and objects and the other not.
Tho herdsman distinguishes cattle and
the huntsman his prey because they
are practiced and see little differences
which perhaps they cannot describe,
but which they perceive almost uncon
sciously. The sailor and the longshore
man detect what the visitor fails to
see out on the horizon and will tell you
of the peculiarities of rigging which

It is said that the great ape of Slam
is in great request among the Siamese
merchants as cashiers in their count
ing houses. Vast quantities of base
coins are known to be in circulation in
Sia in, and no living human can dis
criminate between the good and bad
coinage wilh as much accuracy as
these apes. These monkey cashiers
possess the faculty of distinguishing
the rudo Siamese counterfeits in such
an extraordinary degree that no train
ed hanker can compete wilh them In
their unique avocation.
In plying his tfndo the ape cashier
meditatively puts each coin presented
to him in bis mouth and tesis it with
grave detilieratien. From two i live
seconds is all tho time this intelligent
nuimal requires in making up his de
cision. If the coin is all riht, it is
carefully deposited in the proper recep
tacle; if base, it Is th; own violently to
the lloor, while the coin tester makes
known his displeasure at being pre
sented with the "counterfeit by giving
vent to much angry chatter.

The pnf-sage of a ('onfed-rato bill as
money Is not a violation of the statute
of the United states which. makes it
an offense for any person, except un
der authority of a proper otiieer, to
have in his possession any obligation
or other security engravi d and printed
after the similitude of any obligation
or other security issued under the au
thority of the Cubed States, with in
tent to sell or otherwise use the same,
but to constitute a violation of such
provision the instrument used must in
its inception have been intended to
simulate some obligation or security of
the United States. The general like
ness which one form of paper money
bears to another is not sulticlent. Ill

A story once went the round,; in
Taris that an enterprising visitor to M.
Constans proposed to pick a qinrrcl
with M. Roc.tiefort and kill him.
"Many thanks," said ronstans, "hut
I do my own murders."
The retort found its way to Constan
tinople, and, when M. Constans arrived
there as French embassador ho was
struck by tho exaggerated deference
of the Turkish ollieiajs from Armenia.
A man who did his own murders him
