Of Lister Bone aud Peruvian GuanO on my
wheat crop OF last fall used these articles
in equal paris, at rate of 275 pounds per acre,
| aud seeded in about ! 80 acres, aud used this
mixture on MY entire crop. / never had Il
crop that promised SO well. The crop was
seeded on stubhe and corn land thiok the
| Lister Bone very superior article, aud don't
| think can say too much In us praise, aud IL
must become very popular. think II is the
| very hest article mixed with Peruvian Guano
| for wheat, and at ten TO Twelve dollars u ton
| cheaper than y u rad think If this
fact is fairly set forth TO the farmers that they
| will manipulate their own fertilizers, and feel
| assured that they will get better article, and
thereby save len TO twelve dollars per ton.
Very respectively,
FREDERICK S. POOLE.
