STOOKBRIDSE MANURES. 
Originated by Prof. STOCKBRIDG-IS, Professor of Agriculture in the 
MASSACHUSETTS AC RE CULTURAL COLLEGE. 
These manures are made according to the analysis of plants for different crops, and as they supply what the crop re¬ 
moves, they do not exhaust the soil, but actually leave it richer by their strong chemical action on the same, besides pro¬ 
ducing wonderful results. They have been extensively used for FIVE YEARS, and were 
Used in 1877 on over 10,000 Acres with Great Success.

churning. 3rd. It produces a color resembling June Grass Butter.

termilk. 5th. It gathers all butter materials, increases the weight 
more than will pay for the color used. It is the best ever known.
