Our readers attention is directed to Jno A.
Bakers advertisement in this issue. The large
trade done by this house in this county ndi-
Gates the value of his fertilizer. Mr. Baker
sales are principally of guano, bone dust, Pot
ash and similar articles of well-known value
lie holds that the farmer is best provided who
mikes for himself, and the results of the crops
Of his customers show the wisdom of his con-
cusions. For many years his customers have
uniformly raised good crops and improved
their farms, and this Is the result of the use OF
the best fertilizers. His supplies are all tested
by analysis and carefully selected and when
il is considered tina, bone dust aud guano
contain in the cheapest form all the essential:
needed for making crops and improving land
it is evident that if these articles can be pro-
cured pure and of highest quality, the bes
results must follow. II is claimed that nc
other fertilizers are so cheap. Low priced
fertilizers are not the cheapest our readers
should note. Mr.. Baker is agent for the cele
brated Keller or Hagerstown Drill, which, he
authorizes us to say, will be furnished by hin
at as low prices as they or any other drills car
be furnished in this county and upon as favor
able terms. For fertilizers, drills, seed and
all farm supplies we recommend our reader!
