SPECIAL FOODS TO GROW CROPS
SPECIAL FOODS TO MAKE MILK

Do you farmers who keep three
cows or thirty ever think about it?
The food for crops contains ammonia,
phosphoric acid and potash. The
food for mich cows contains muscle
makers, fat makers and milk pro-
ducers. Years of study and exper-
fence has shown you the best foods
to get the desired results from your
stock. Suppose an agent should
come along to sell you a patent
ready-nixed COW food. All the
agent knows about cows is that
they are fed and give milk, which
his wife buys for the children and
he uses it in his punch.
He offers you a mixen COW food
for $40 to SIS a ton. The nanufac-
turer sends him out with instruct
ions that it is the best stuff on
earth to make milk, and the agent
is to have SIS to $40 ton to talk it,
sell it, and collect bills. Although
your COW feed, which you mix your
self and has given you paying re-
suits for years, may cost you dol
lar or two ton more, would you
make change and buy his? l guess
not.
How about when the fertilizer
agent comes along and guns for you?
Tells you his stuff is just what you
need. Has a great big analysis on
paper, and talks nitrogen-equal to
ammonia, equal to sulphate of
ammonia phosphoric acid soluble,
reverted and insoluble, equal to
bone phosphate of lime; potash ac-
tua1 equal to su1phate, and lots
more, and makes your head buzz so
you buy some to get rid of him.
Maybe it happens to do good-may-
be it don't.
1t might have been less expen-
sive to have bought some of the
ready-mixed COW food, for if it
didn't make milk satisfactory after
a few feeds, you could have gone
back to your old reliable feed.
while with your fertilizer, you in
vest money in seeds, bury the
whole business, devote a season OF
hard work and anxiety, only to
find in the end you have been fooled
in your fertilizer. Crop is light, or
too late to get good prices, and il
you hadn't used some good manure
in connection you would not have
been it at all.
1t is every farmers right and pri-
vilege to know just how many
dollars worth of plant food any
manufacturer of fertilizer guaran-
tees to give him for his money; also
the sources the ammonia is derived
from.
A bulletin from the New Jersey
Experimental Station will tell you.
If you haven't time to look it up,
hadn't you better takeIsome farmer $
word for it who does look into the
matter F? One who, by years of ex-
perience on his own farm, thinks be
knows what is best to use for crop
to get the best paying results. One
who wants his ammonia from the
best and most reliable sources, and
everything else that is put in the
fertilizer is put there to do the most
good for the money.
What guarantee have / that get
what want? / see it made-ton at
a time each ingredient weighed as
it goes in. After lying week or
so, samples are drawn from differ
ent parts of the pile, thoroughly
mixed, and two quart jars are filled.
One is Analysed by a reliable che
mist, and know just what the fer
tilizer analyses before it is bagged
and shipped. 1t cost money and
time, but it pays. I get what I
buy and what want on my farm.
While am looking after my in
terests, / am taking care of those
who buy these fertilizers. Sold
direct to the farmers for less money
than many low grades are sold for.
Continued next week.
