A PRACTICAL FARMERJSAYS :-" After applying " Scotia" Basic 
Slag my beld.s carried double their former stock and urazed them 
much better. 
Professor Wright, of J the West of 
his bulletin No. 35 on experiments 
WHAT SCIENTISTS SAY: 
Scotland Agricultural College, 
having for their object the improvement of old pastures, makes the 
startling observation that the application of Phosphate.i proved to be 
the only profitable manurial treatment, "Scotia" Basic Slag alike on 
the ground of smaller original outlay and greater effectiveness, showing 
decidedly the best return." 
QUANTITY TO..APPLY^.gl ^jj, ^ 
"SCOTIA" BASIC (SLAG should 'be applied at the rate 
of 8 to 10 cwts. per acre. In cases where the land is very 
much impoverished, the larger dressing will be found- to 
give the best paying results. Where Basic Slag is applied 
in larger quantities than required ( by| the first crop, the 
excess does not go to waste.^^but is merely stored in the 
ground for future use.
