G. w. Berlin, Esq " ours of the Goth was re-
ceived this morning and in answer can say the
smallest quantity of bone dust used to the acre is
100 pounds. I advise the farmers to put on 200
pounds per acre, and it will pay them richly in
the first crop, and besides will improve the land
for ten years. We SOW with a drill. We have
drills with attachment so that we can SOW
Wheat and Bone Dust at the same time. If you
have no Drill sow broadcast at the time you sow
the wheat. | could sell 500 tons to
my old customers if had it. Try and get the
farmers to put on 200 pounds per acre if you can.
1t will pay. them much better than smaller
quantity, although some use only 100 pounds per
acre. Yours truly,
