Fertilizers for All Purposes 
Fertilizers are beg-inning interest us in the Northwest and their increased use is inevitable. 
tiXperiinents during the past few years have shown that phosphorus ‘is the most needed element in 
most prairie soils. - 
No fertilizer can do much good without moisture, and conversely irrigated land responds to the limit 
if fertilizer is applied. Hence any irrigator should familiarize himself with fertilizing practice. ISIuch 
of the needed nitragin can be most cheaply derived from manure and legumes. 
The three necessary elements in plant growth which are not always present in the soil are nitrogen 
which stimulates luxurious growth; phosphorus, which has a tendency to force bearing and hasten 
maturity, and potash which stimulates growth, delays maturity of grains and grasses but hastens 
maturity in root crops. We offer these three elements separately below, nitrogen in the form of nitrate 
of soda and ammonia sulphate, phosphorus in the form of bone meal and superphosphate potash in 
the form of muriate of potash. Good combinations for general use are 400 lbs. superphosphate and 200 
lbs. each of nitrate of soda and muriate of potash per acre or 8 per cent phosphate, 5 per cent nitrogen 
and 7 per cent potash. 
For gardens, yards, lawns and small intensively cultivated areas the ready prepared fertilizers such as 
Vigor© are the most economical and convenient to use and the best adapted. 
PULVERIZED SHEEP MANURE. This is by far 
the most concentrated of the cheaper fertilizers 
and is adapted especially for garden and lawn 
use, and for use in a larger way where the land 
is being used intensively. Sheep manure is an 
excellent fertilizer for worn-out soils. Use from 
5 to 10 lbs. per 100 square feet. Price, 10 lbs., 40c; 
lbs., 50c; 50 lbs., 70c; 100 lbs., jpi.OO; 500 lbs., 
S4.75; 1000 lbs., .159.50; ton, .1518.00. 
SUPERPHOSPHATE. Phosphorus is said to be the 
element the most likely to be lacking in the 
prairie soils of the Northwest, and is not sup¬ 
plied in any form by applying vegetable matter 
by turning under or otherwise. Has given some 
startling results in experiments made in the 
Dakotas. Use one to two hundred pounds per 
acre. It may be broadcasted on. Price, 46% for¬ 
mula, 10 lbs., 50c; 50 lbs., $2.20; 100 lbs., $4.00. 
Write for quantity prices. 
NITRATE OF SODA. The great growth stimulator, 
the best chemical agent in supplying the much 
needed nitrogen to deficient soils. Has a wonder¬ 
ful effect on lawn, garden or flowers. F. O. B. 
Bismarck, 5 lbs., 50c; 10 lbs« 90c; 25 lbs., $2.00; 
100 lbs., $6.00. 
MURIATE OF POTASH. Promotes growth, delays 
development and causes longer growing in grains, 
grasses, flowers, but stimulates both growth and 
maturity of root crops such as beets, carrots, etc. 
F. O. B. Bismarck, 5 lbs., 60c; 10 lbs., $1.00; 25 lbs., 
$2.00; 100 lbs., $7.00. 
AMMONIA SULPHATE, The Lawn Fertilizer. Also 
valuable for the garden or flower bed. A highly 
concentrated nitrogen fertilizer which acts very 
quickly. Use it on the lawn in the Spring at the 
rate of 3 lbs. per 1,000 square feet. Valuable also 
for trees and shrubbery. Price, 10-lb. bag, 73c; 
100 lbs., $5.75, F. O. B. Bismarck. 
BONE MEAL. (The great phosphorus supplier). 
For fall application. Causes fruiting and bloom¬ 
ing in reluctant plants, flowers, shrubs and trees; 
hastens maturity so promotes earliness when ap¬ 
plied in the Spring. Especially useful to stimu¬ 
late bloom in peonies. Lb., 25c, postpaid. By ex¬ 
press or freight, 10 lbs., 50c; 100 lbs., $4.00.

For lawn, flowers, small fruits and the vegetable garden Vigor© 
is the ideal fertilizer. Apply it to the lawn in early spring and 
watch the grass turn green and grow luxuriously. It improves 
both the quality and quantity of all kinds of flowers, both annual 
and perennial and will add greatly to the quality and the produc¬ 
tion of your vegetable-s, small fruits and ornamental shrubs.

ishment.
