Various Fertilizers 



Adco Artificial Manure. The scarcity and 

 cost of stable manure has made its ex- 

 tensive use impracticable, and the com-

 sists of merely making a heap of all gar- 

 den trash, wetting it thoroughly and add- 

 ing the bacterial powder Adco. In the 

 course of three or four months this heap 

 is converted by action of the growing 

 bacteria into excellent manure. 25-lb.
