GROUND BONE. 
Dr. Z. A. Gilbert, the Maine State Inspector of fer¬ 
tilizers, states of this bone: "The stock from whleh 
sample was taken, was well grown, being fine and 
even- The hlgU percentage of Phosphoric Acid shoxvs 
It to have been prepared from PURE BO N E of good 
quality ” 
This bone Is obtained from the Brighton Abattoir, 
where large numbers of csttle and sheep are slaugh¬ 
tered dally, and contains all the fertilizer properties 
of raw hone, being dried and ground wltbln a few 
hi >urs after ihe cat lie are slaughtered. It ls.tberetore 
much superior to most of the so called pure bone, 
which 1- picked upon old pastures and ihe Western 
prairies, and which ha« lost mucb of Its value by long 
exposure to the weather. For further particulars,
