How to Make Poor Farms 

 Good Dividend Payers 



In Buial New-Yorker, November 22cl, 1899, Mr. H. W. ColllnKWOod, In his 

 account of bringing up a poor larm, by Mr. Newton Osborn, Newington, Ct., 

 says : " Mr. Osborn thouglit at that time that the ability to feed a soil was 

 measured by the supply of animal manure. He first proved that a high- 

 grade completelertillzer will fully take the place of manure. That point 

 settled, he had the key to the situation, and applied it. Instead of being a 

 soil loafer, that field began at once to pay a profit. It was so poor that it 

 had never paid even the Interest on the taxes. In six years it was paying 

 dividends of B per cent, on a valuation of over $4000. Where can one find, 

 outside of a gold mine, an instance where poor soil has gained proportion- 

 ately greater earning capacity in six years t" " Corn the ' key ' crop."
