ny III favor OF the use of Goes Superphosphae of
Lime is from the most reliable sources and of so
conclusive character that there should be no hest

the use and results of your Superphosplae of Lime
IN this vicinity the past season. am happy to say
IT'S application gave very general satisiactiou-so
much that the testimony is strongly in favor of
its use. and many who used it the past season will
purchase more largely next spring
Ihe SuperphoSpllate was mostly used for the corn
crop; some OF the farmers estimating the increase
OF the crop at least twenty five pc. cent

There has been but little Super-phosphate used in
this vicinity till last spring, and that mostly oil the
