Kalaka is a mixture of choicest selected 
grass seed and a powerful concentrate of dried 
animal manure from which all chaff, weed 
seeds and impurities are eliminated. Seed 
and fertilizer are mixed in scientific propor- 
tions, the mixture goes into the ground to- 
gether, the seed germinates with moisture 
and the grass comes up anywhere. Needs 
only soil — moisture. 
Ideal for public and pri- 
vate grounds where a 
thickly knit turf and lux- 
uriant green grass Is 
demanded 
Hundreds of users have 
proved the efficiency of this 
magic grass grower and it is

public grounds. It is sown like 
any seed but goes further; is 
more easily cared for, hence, saves time and 
money,

original sample, it shall show the following 
results, assuming also that this final 10 per 
cent has the same composition as'the 90 per 
cent of the material examined: The total 
loss shall be not more than 35 per cent by 
weight; the amount of asphaltene in the 
original sample shall not be greater than 
6 per cent by weight, and the amount of 
asphaltene formed by this treatment plus 
that in the original samples shall be at 
least 58 per cent by weight of the original 
sample. The amount of matter insoluble in 
carbon bisulphide as a result of this treat- 
ment shall be not greater than 5 per cent. 
Our experience shows that not less 
than two applications, of a quarter of a 
gallon each, should be used in the begin- 
ning, and then single applications ap- 
plied as often as may be necessary. Be- 
fore any application is applied, however, 
the road should be made perfectly clean 
and its inequalities or any holes in the 
surface patched, so as to secure a uni- 
form surface. 
The cost of putting this material on 
the road varies, as all costs do, accord- 
ing to the availability of material and la- 
bor ; but the material can ordinarily be 
applied in two layers at a cost varying 
from 4^ to 8^ cents per square yard. 
Where the traffic is extremely heavy, 
however, a surface treatment as before 
described is hardly sufficient, and it is 
wise to have a depth of bituminous sur- 
face material from to 2 inches in
