The farmer who feeds his crops heavily of the right kind of plantfood will have the largest crops of the best quality. Our showmen know that if the baby flesh is once lost from the calf, pig or colt, it is an expensive process to get it back and the young stock never mature into such Bplendid animals as they would have done had they been kept growing from the start Plenty of feed gives the calf a quick sure start. An ab undance of the right kind of plantfood gives the plants a run ning start, enables them to keep ahead of the weeds, helps them to resist disease and to mature their crops, easily. These are all important but the one that we often lose sight of is the first, namely, giving the crops quick start. The man who sees that his soils and crops are well sup plied with the right kind of plant food will have the earliest, best matured crops of highest quality. About noon Monday of last week, the roof of Howard Zim merman's dwelling house in Han cock was discovered to be on fire and the wind was blowing a reg ular gale. It was with much difficulty that the firemen saved the building. The damage, which is covered by insurance is about $400. It was supposed the fire originated from a spark from a locomotive on the We3tern Mary land railway.
