“HAY! >IAY! 
c: 
The crying need of eve | farmer is hay. It is the largest crop grown in 
this country, yet every farn^T could use or sell more of it. Land should be 
seeded oftener, and in seeding there is nothing better than stable manure, with a 
little fertilizer to ensure a quick catch. As a top dressing, however, stable 
manure should not be used, for it has to decay on the surface before it can feed 
the grass roots, and there is a large loss of ammonia, the most valuable part. 
BRADLEY'S COMPLETE BRASS TOP DRESSING, 
composed of chemicals which dissolve with the first rains, has been a success 
from the day it was introduced. The photograph herewith shows a crop raised 
by Mr. W. L. Smith in the Connecticut Valley. He writes: 
“ On a piece of grass land, the condition of which was so poor that your 
local agent discouraged the experiment, I applied 500 lbs. of Bradley’s 
Top Dressing to the acre. The result was an astonishment both to me 
and everybody who saw the crop. The hay was not weighed, but by the 
best estimate arrived at there was not less than 2 Y\ tons to the acre, and 
in addition there was a fair crop of rowen.” 
Why Experiment, When Bradley’s Fertilizers Produce Crops Like This?
