CHEAPEST and BEST FERTILIZER 
FOLLOW NATURE, 
Which, uses GROUND Limestone in making the Soil. 
There were no Lime Kilns around burning Lime when the good Limestone 
Funning Lands were originally made. Every Farmer can prepare his own Fer¬ 
tilizer with an ordinary Horse Power by using 
FORSTER’S 
COMBINED CRUSHER AND PULVERIZER, 
which takes a lump of Limestone three to five inches square, and CRUSHES and 
PULVERIZES it in ONE OPERATION, same as Burrs. Farmers use the 
Ground Eaw Limestone, and drill and sow it just as it comes from this machine. W. 
W. Reed, of Erie, has tried it 6 years, and says “ it shows a profit over Bone Dust of 
$1.96 per acre ; over Phosphate of $4.28 per acre; over Guano of $9.70 per acre ; over 
Sait of $5.90 per acre, and that it will last twice as long.”— John G. Bear, of 
Montgomery, Lycoming Co., says: “I believe it to be tile cheapest and best Fertilizer 
in this country. Itis worth three times as much as Burnt Lime, and with this Machine 
■does not cost half as much as Burnt Lime to make."— H. C. Fails, New Castle, Pa., 
says: “ I used the Ground Limestone last year with great satisfaction as to results, and 
cannot too strongly recommend it for farm and garden purposes. Where 1 dropped 
my corn on top of it, the corn came up first, and was strong and thrifty—the Limestone 
drawing the moisture to the roots. Used in place of Paris Green on Potatoes, it kepi 
the Bugs away and made the plants thrifty and strong; being washed into the ground 
it benefited the Potatoes in an astonishing manner. Address only,
