TetclNtus / gu Nlhu W leHIl VI nt tnc theNb
OF Lister Bone and Peruvian Guano on my
whoa: crop of last fall. | used these articles
in equal puris, at rate Of 275 pounds per acre,
and seeded in about 1876 acres, and used this
mixture on my entire crop. never had
crop that promised so well. The crop was
seeded on stubbc and corn land; think the
Lister Bone very superior article, and don't
think can say TOO much in It's praise, and it
must become very popular. think II is the
very hest article mixed with Peruvian Guano
for wheat and AT ten to twelve dollars atom
cbeaper than y - and think II this
fact is fairly sci forth 10 the farmers that they
will manipulate their own fertilizers, and feel
assured that they will get better article, and
thereby save ten TO twelve dollars per ton.
