5. " BONE is THE NATURAL FERTILIZER, intended by Provi- 

 dence to keep up the fertility." 



6. " THE BEST MANURE IS THE CHEAPEST. . . . At the 



present high price of all kinds of fertilizers, it is very poor 

 economy to remain uninformed of the quality and character 

 of the manures used." 



7. " The price of the article, at the present rate of the raw 

 material, is placed as low as it is possible to afford a manure of 

 like standard ; the constant desire of the manufacturers being 

 to furnish to farmers an article of a high quality, at as low 

 rate as the most prudent and economical could not object to." 



8. " IT IS THE CHEAPEST FERTILIZER NOW BEFORE THE PUBLIC. 



This is substantiated by the careful experiments of thousands 

 of practical farmers in the United States, and the same con- 

 clusion may be arrived at by those who will compare the per- 

 centage and price of any fertilizer offered in the market." 



9. "'It must be borne in mind, however, in making this cal- 

 culation, that Phosphate of Lime is valuable only in such form 

 or combination as will act directly and effectually upon the 

 soil. There are many fertilizers said to contain a large per- 

 centage, which are almost useless or inoperative, by reason of 

 this insolubility or connection with deleterious substances." 



10. " In Baugh's ' Kaw Bone Phosphate,' the Phosphate of 

 Lime is in its purest and most effective form, and acts imme- 

 diately and directly without any counteracting influence." 



11. " The reason of this is, -that it is made from pure bones ; 

 the original animal matter being present, and not having been 

 extracted by burning, steaming, or any of the processes to 

 which nearly all the bones sold to farmers are subjected." 



12. . . "In the process of manufacturing, the animal mat- 

 ter of the ' Raw Bone ' is converted into Ammonia, and the 

 Phosphate of Lime which it contains is rendered sufficiently 

 soluble to act upon the growing plant." 



13. "And these two important agents begin to act at once, tho 

 Ammonia making the leaf and stalk, and the Phosphate of 

 Lime making the grain." 



14. " Neither * Stable Manure,' 1 ' Guano' nor any * Super- 

 phosphate,' or other preparations with which we are acquainted,
