74 1-3 Bushels of Corn per Acre for Three Years 
In the recently published experiments 
with fertilizers conducted at the State 
Farm in Rhode Island for three years, the 
Stock bridge Corn Manure comes out 
ahead, producing in three years an aver¬ 
age of 74>6 bushels and 4,il20 pounds of 
stover per acre, or TEN PER CENT. 
MORE corn than was produced by any 
other fertilizer. Equal value* of fertilizer 
were used in each case. 
At the price at which these manures 
can be bought of our local agents this 
year, they will be found the cheapest fer¬ 
tilizers in the market, for although cost¬ 
ing a little more at the outset, they go much 
further , and there is less to handle and 
apply.
