Produced by the 
Stockbridge Manures, 
equally as good for other crops. These manures arc made by 
Formulas originated by Levi Stockbridge, a practical farmer 
and Professor of Agriculture iu the Massachusetts Agricul¬ 
tural College, and in 1876 were applied to over 4,000 acres with 
such success, that our best advertisement is to refer to farm¬ 
ers 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 be6t results. 
Four years of extensive trial in the field have proved beyond 
question that these manures are a SAFE, SURE and 
CHEAP mode of fertilization, NOT exhausting the soil, 
but leaving it richer by actual test.
