TO THE POTATO
Twinkle, twinkle little spud,
As up among the clouds you scud,
You .tre doubtless feeling gay,
Chasing round the milky way.
You have reached to such a he'ght.
I-ou are surely out of sight.
'Like adiamond now you seem
In your price, and that's no dream,
Twinkle on another twink,
And you'll drive us all to drink
Ate we chase for needful chink.
You are sailing rather high, ',
As you wink your shrivelled eye.
Up there somewhere in the sky.
Tuber eince the coop you flaw,
We have only longed for you;
That our fireside you forsook.
Broke our heart and poeiretbook.
Never felt how we could love
Till you left and went above:
Never felt how dear you were,
Till we paid four dollars per.
Small potato, please come back.
In our lives there's such a lack;
For your presence we so pine
That our stomach bits our spine.
We are tired of eating greens,
Stewed prunes, sauerkraut and beans,
Tis for you alone. we yearn;
Darling 'tater please return.

BEST I EVER USED
' A NGUS SI11dESON, Sarnia, Ontario
"I have used Homestead Bone Black
Fertilizer and want to tell you that it
is the best fertilizer I ever used, both
on my onions and heets and poratoes,"
RESULTS WERE WONDERFUL
WM. PAULi, Lambeth, Cotaiiu, says;
"I purchased Homestead Fertilizer
from H. iamlyn, Lambeth, merely
' as it test. Tee results were wonderful,
i Tho ground between the rows was cov-
ered by the tops. The yield was extra
good. I can easily ace how anybody
would be greatly benefited by using
Homestead Fertilizer."
WELL PLEASED
JOE MOSSNAU, Belle River, Ontario
say.:
"I used Homestead Bone Black Fer-
tilizer laet Spring op my potatoes, and
am eo well pleased that I must write
jgen about same. I made a thorough
I
test with two bushel of seed potatoes.
They produced forty bushels and
where I did not fertilize they were a
failure." •
THREE TIMES THE CROP
CLARENt,E RALF, Orwell, Ontario,
FAYE:
"I bought some Homestead Bone
Black Feittlizer from Charles Minard,
and used it on part of my onions.
Where I used it, I had three times the
crop I h1id where there was no Ferti-
lizer. My corn was the same.

To American Subscribers
Owing to the tremendous increase in
the cost of producing a weekly newh-
paper, it becomes more than ever
necessary that .subscriptions to the
Anv..r cE be paid strictly in advance.
This applies especially to eubseribers
in the United States which necessitate
a weekly cash outlay for postage and
but a few delinquents take all the pro.
fit, The great majority of our Amer-
ican readers have already paid and we
thank them for their promptness. If
you have not renewed, retnit to -day
by postal or expreee order. The label
on your paper tells the date to which
it is paid.
