FERTILIZERS 
PHOSPHATE POWDER or "SCOTIA" BASIC SLAG— 
The using of this manure is simply investing money, which comes 
back in 6 to 12 months doubled or trebled, and even there are future 
dividends to draw. Basic Slag only supplies Phosphoric Acid and 
Lime, and on some lands an apphcation of Potash in the form of 200 
lbs. Kainit per acre in conjunction with it will be found beneficial. 
APPLICATION — This article is a most valuable manure for use on Old 
Pastures, Younp; Timothy and Clover, Oats, Barley and Wheat, Root 
Crops of every description. It is specially recommended for Old Pas- 
tures, on which, it ia no exaggeration to say, the effect" is marvellous. 
The application stimulates into Ufe the dormant roots of Clover, and 
encourages the growth of the better Grasses. The whole character 
of the herbage is altered and improved and the land rendered capable 
of carrying a greatly increased quantity of stock. Winter or early 
spring application is recommended. 
GUARANTEE OF FINENESS — 80 to 90 per cent, is ^aranteed to pass 
a sieve, by Amandus Kahl, No. 100 E., i.e., a sieve having 10,000 
holes to the square inch. 
This is what a leading Scotch Farmer writes, and one whose word 
it law in Agricultural matters : 
*' After applying ' Scotia' Basic Slag my fields carried double their 
former stock and grazed them much better, the cattle and sheep 
improved rapidly, and at. the close of my tenure in 1900, in the valua- 
tion made for Unexhausted FertiUrers, one of the items was an in- 
demnification by the landlord for 'Unexhausted Manurial Value* of 
the Slag previously apphed."
