Feed them what they like, they will grow, and potash is natural food 
for them. Now, we have placed before you one of nature’s own fer- 
tilizers, adapted to all crops, soils and climates. 
Our aim is to keep this a high grade, make it better in quality 
instead of less. As our judgment is that it will become very popu- 
lar with the farmers, and as they use it in large quantities, 1t ena- 
bles us to sell at a small margin, and give them the benefit. 
We have already spent large sums of money in chemistry, and 
keep a chemist with us, so as to keep up the standard of our fer- 
tilizer. 
We have also studied the nature, not only what is valuable to feed 
the straw, but the kernel as well. Farmers are well aware that they 
often get a heavy growth of straw, and think they are going to have 
alarge crop, but there is something lacking to feed the kernel, and | 
the crop isa failure. We claim that potash produced from wood is 
the only natural food in the world to feed the kernel. One trial 
will convince every farmer that they should use no other brand but 
Mason’s High Grade Potash Fertilizer on all crops. Remember, this 
is the only fertilizer in the world produced from wood. 
Farmers should take an interest in this fertilizer, as our aim is to 
give them value received for every dollar we receive from them, 
Some reasons why the farmers should give Mason’s High Grade Fer- 
tilizer their attention. First—Because it costs but thirty dollars per 
ton at retail. Second—It is more bulky, free from sand and worth- 
less material. Third—Because common sense will teach any one 
that vegetable matter is better for their land than mineral, as in the 
vegetable its nature is to grow; the mineral is not soluble. The 
ammonia produced from wood, its nature is to stay in the soil; the 
ammonia produced from the animal, its nature is to escape in the 
air. 
For crops in general use from 250 to 300 lbs. per acre.

analysis shows a commercial value of $1.52 a ton; Prof. Genth’s 
analysis $5.99 a ton. The selling price in New York is given as 
$30.00 a ton; in Pennsylvania as $35.00 a ton.
