broadcast early in the spring or in midsummer to 
turn under to enrich the land. Plants gather a large

ARMOUR’S PURE ANIMAL FERTILIZERS 
Some seed doesn’t bring harvest, but you can’t harvest without seed. This is an unfailing principle. 
There are many other conditions which must be met to insure even a fair harvest. The seed must have 
attention — must be fed and carefully tendered —the seed must be made to grow. It receives its nourish- 
ment from the soil, consequently the soil must be fed with the plant-food necessary for the proper nutri- 
tion of the plants. This is supplied by the application of proper fertilizers. Farm fertilizers are good, but 
in most cases they do not supply in sufficient quantity and balance the elements necessary to the highest 
soil fertility or crop development. This is found in the best form in the Armour Pure Animal Fertilizers. 
The brands produced by the Armour Fertilizer Works are the best fertilizers that can be manufactured, 
and contain all the elements necessary to the highest possible soil and development. They are made 
from the best animal materials obtainable, and adapted to all conditions of soil. The mechanical condition 
is perfect. The consistent application of Armour’s Fertilizers will result in increased soil fertility, increased 
crops and a consequent increase in profit. No soil is so poor but that it will be benefited by the proper 
application of Armour’s Animal Fertilizers.
