Produced by the 
Stockbridge Manures, 
and other crops in proportion. These manures are made by 
Formulas originated by Levi Stockbridge,a practical farmer 
and Professor of Agriculture in the Massachusetts Agricul- 
tural College. They have been extensively used for three 
years, and in 1S76 were applied to over 4.000 acres with such 
sncccss, that our best advertisement is to refer to farmers 
who used them. They are prepared for special crops, re- 
cognizing the fact that plants, like animals, differ, and re- 
quire different food, or in different proportions, and most 
have it properly compounded to insure the best results.
