A Fertilizer for all crops, and is valuable solely for the ni- 

 trogen it contains, equal to 20 per cent, of ammonia. It is 

 very quick in action, and hastens maturity of crops fully two 

 weeks. It is valuable for grain, fodder, corn, sugar beets, pota- 

 toes, grasses, peas, beans, clover, etc. Being extremely soluble, 

 it should not be npplied until the plants are above ground, 

 when 100 to 300 lbs. per acre should be sown mixed with 

 wood ashes or land plaster. Will be shipped onlv in double 

 bags. 50 lbs., $2.50; 100 lbs., §4.50; 200 lbs., §8.00.
