In this issue of the paper appears ar
advertisement of the Homestead Fer
tilizer, manufactured by the Michigan
Carbon Works of Detroit, Mich, who
have been in the business for abou
twenty-five years, and in addition u
fertilizers, they manufacture agricul
tural chemicals, bone black, which il
used by sugar aud oil refners, glue
acids, aud many other products from
bone. They are probably the larges
buyers of bones in the country, anC
their agents gather them from all parts
of the United States, as far south a
Texas and AS far west AS Utah. Thei
business has grown enormously, ant
the increase is largely due to the fac
that they have always maintained ;
fixed standard of quality in all thei
fertilizers, from which there has beer
no deviation This comes with specia
force at the present time, when SOM
companies have reduced their prices
little and the quality of their goods
great deal, under the pressure of hare
times, but it does not seem as if such
policy would prove to be good one
All those who have used the HOMESTEAD
bone black fertilizer in the past, ca
rest assured that what they purchas
this year will be of the same high qua
ity. On application, they will sem
free their pamphlet, containing grea
deal of interesting information.
