With tlie above Machine it does not cost as much as Burnt Lime. 
W. W. Reed, of Erie, Pa., says: "The ground Limestone proved to be the most 
economical Fertilizer, showing a profit over Bone Dust of $1.96 per Acre—over Phos¬

Wm. Benson, Waterford, Pa., says: “ I am satisfied that where the ground Lime was 
sown the crop was increased fifty per cent."
