JAMES R. CHILTON, M. D., Chemist, 



It appears from the above analysis that the *' Vien.va Plaster" 

 is sufierior for land to that of the Cayuga or Onondapa, inasmuch 

 as it contains the largest percentage of the "Sulphate of Lime," 

 which is the mo.st beneficial property in land Ptawter. 



This PUister can be found only at Vienna, Geneva, Caxandai- 

 GUA, Victor, Fisher's, and Pittsford. Farmers should not fail 

 to get the ViEN.vA Plaster.
