Formulas originated by Levi Stockbridge, a practical farmer 
and Professor of Agriculture in the Massachusetts Agricul¬ 
tural College. They have been extensively used for three 
years, and in 1876 were applied to over 4,000 acres with such 
success, that our best advertisement is to refer to farmers 
who used them. They are prepared for special crops, re¬ 
cognizing the fact that plants, like animals, differ, and re¬ 
quire different food, or in different proportions, and must 
have it properly compounded to insure the best results.
