Formulas ori:;lnated by Levi Stockbridge. a practical farmer 
and Professor of Agriculture In the Ma^sachusetls Ajrlcnl- 
tural College, and in ISTO were applied to over-1,000 acres with 
such success, that our best advertisement is to refer to farm- 
ers 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 diflerent proportions, and must 
have it properly compounded to insure the best results. 
Four years of extensive trial m the field have proved beyond 
question that llieso manures are a SAFE, SURE and 
CHEAP mode of icrtilization, NOT exhausting the soil, 
but leaving it richer by actual test.
