FERTILIZERS 
“Three-Leg” Brand Sheep Manure. 
Pulverized and prepared by 
special process by which the 
ammonia is retained and all 
weed seeds killed, making it 
specially useful either for flo¬ 
rists’ use or top dressing. 
During the months of October and 
November the sheep are brought in 
from Dakota and Montana and col¬ 
lected in covered barns and fattened 
prior to killing. They are fed upon 
screenings from the grain elevators of 
the Northwest. The droppings are 
taken to a drying plant and exposed 
to a moist heat of 350 degrees, long 
enough to kill the germ of any seeds 
which they may contain, and afterward dried and passed through a 
20 -mesh sieve, which insures a uniform product. 
The article in commerce usually sold elsewhere is ordinarily dried 
by being exposed to the sun and air and allowed to ferment, by which 
process it loses most of its fertilizing qualities and ammonia. By the 
out, the ammonia is 
200-lb. Ton of 
method used in preparing the manure we send 
retained, making it a much more valuable article. 
The grain upon which the sheep are fed is rich in nitrogen, and 
therefore the product we sell has a larger value than what has heretofore 
been sold under the same name.

The merits of this par¬ 
ticular make of Mushroom 
spawn have only recently 
come to our attention, and 
we were so impressed by 
the many substantial and 
unsolicited testimonials 
from large and practical 
growers of mushrooms for 
market, that we concluded 
to bring it before the notice 
of our customers. 
Every brick is made 
from Virgin Spawn, 
which produces quick and 
heavy crops, and lasts long 
in bearing.

House of Mushrooms grown from our Virgin Spawn 
A FEW OF THE TESTIMONIALS 
The English Mushroom Spawn which I purchased from you this 
winter has fpven most excellent results. The mushrooms are of a 
superior quality, and the spawn quick to develop. Every bed planted 
with your spawn came up thick with mushrooms. The same cannot be 
^aid of other beds.

Gentlemen— The Mushroom Spawn I had from you last autumn 
was the best I ever grew. My beds have produced a heavy and 
continuous crop since early in January, and the end is not yet.
