food, in which they remain active for long periods of time, and 
sent out in a bottle which admits the necessary supply of pure 
air, yet keeps out destructive contamination. 
WHAT FARMOGERM WILL DO 
Farmogerm, as will be understood from what has already been 
said, furnishes legume crops with all the nitrates they need for a 
maximum growth, and causes enough nitrates to be produced 
during the growth of the legume crop and left in the soil to 
supply two or three following crops of other kinds. And the 
high-bred bacteria of Farmogerm produce these results to a 
much greater extent than bacteria which are not bred up to in- 
crease their nitrogen-fixing power. 
Unless the soil is very unfavorable, Farmogerm will :— 
1. Increase iegume crops, giving quicker growth, 
a larger crop, and earlier maturity. 
2. Increase the food value of legumes. 
3. Make legumes grow in new localities where 
they cannot be grown successfully without inocula- 
tion. 
4. Supply nitrates to other crops growing with the 
inoculated legume crop. 
5. Enrich the soil for future crops, thereby in-= 
creasing the permanent value of the farm. 
Better crops—better soil—less fertilizer—less labor.

And all other pod-growing plants called legumes, enrich the soil through the action 
of bacteria growing upon their roots, 
legumes, and by an action of their bodies extract the free nitrogen of the air, and 
deposit around themselves as nitrates, thus forming little sacks or nodules on the roots 
of the growing plants. 
it requires, and still leaves large amounts unused in the soil ready for future crops or 
other crops growing at the same time with the legumes. 
The method of transfer of soil for inoculation is both costly and dangerous—weed 
seed, soil and plant diseases are transferred in this way. All inoculations should be 
done by means of the pure cultures of nitrogen-gathering bacteria, which are free 
from contamination and contain only active bacteria of the proper kind. 
These bacteria are grown in a jelly or |

Mulford Cultures 
The Mulford Cultures contain pure, tested strains of active, 
vigorous nitrogen-fixing bacteria, and are used for inoculating 
seeds of the various legumes used for maintaining soil fertility 
and rejuvinating over-cropped and worn-out fields, adding both 
humus and nitrogen to the soil. Prepared and tested by experts 
at the Biological Laboratories of H. K. Mulford Co., with the 
same care as the Mulford Anti-Toxins, Serums, Vaccines, etc., 
which are standards all over the world. 
GUARANTEE 
Each bottle of Mulford Culture for Legumes is guar- 
anteed to contain a pure, active, vigorous culture of nitrogen- 
fixing bacteria, of the proper strain for the legume indicated on 
the label, and in sufficient quantities to inoculate the required 
amount of seed or soil for the area specified on the label. 
Mulford Cultures will give their best results when every- 
thing possible has been done, in every other way, to make the 
crop a success. Inoculation is not a miracle worker, but is 
simply an aid to Nature, furnishing the young plant at the very 
outset with a supply of the proper nitrogen-fixing bacteria. 
Why buy expensive commercial nitrates when you 
can grow legume crops and thus increase your yield 
and at the same time replace the nitrates and enrich 
and renovate your soil, by Nature’s own method ? 
Increase Your Crops—Improve Your Soil 
We can furnish combination cultures for various Legumes, but recommend the use of those prepared especially for the crop to 
be planted and therefore request that purchasers kindly state on order what kind of seed the culture is to be used on, so that 
we can send the proper material.
