Read what some of our leading
farmers say about Pages Fertiliz-
ing Salt:

From H. II. Eaton, Morrisvllle, vt.
Used 1900 lbs. on three acres of oats last
spring. Think it more than doubled the
crop, and the straw did not rust particle.
Think money invested therein will pay
more than double and that it is one of the
best fertilizers can get
From L. G. Terrill, johnson, Vt.
Mixed ton Of salt, barrels of lime, two
barrels OF leached, and barrels of I'M
leached ashes, and sowed on five acres Of
oats. Gould see decided improvement
over the acre that had none of the mixture.
Think it paid me fully twice its cost.
From A. W. Edwards, Jeffersonville, VT.
Sowed 5000 lbs on 10 acres of very poor,
badly run out land. Used no manure.
Threshed out 367 bushels oats, and there
were several wasted by severe storm just
before harvest, Think the use of salt gives
more grain and better quality. Gives good
results on dry land.
From A. c. Davis. Hyde Park.
Sowed half ton OF your salt on two acres
of ground. Ground not in good condition.
Had raised two crops before on same land
with very little manure. Result, a good crop
of oats, and the oats weighed more than
80 lbs, to the bushel. Think salt good for
dry, light soil. shall use more next season.
From A. L. Jennings, Wolcott, vt.
Have used the salt for killing paint-brush.
1t has always killed wherever used for that
purpose,
From E. NJ. Davis, johnson, VT.
SOWed Ealf ton on two and half acres
of land last season and received as good
oats as l did when used Is loads of manure

"since her recent engagement to my
brother Stuart it seems more natural
than ever. Well, I'm sorry you cannot
come. We would have enjoyed hearing
you sing"
"You are kind to think of me, and I
am grateful for it," replied Rhena. The
closest observer could not have detect
ed any special emotion in her voice and
manner. She impressed even Louise,
with that lie about Stuart warm on her
lips, as possessed, even in those dingy
surroundings and in the army garb, Of
grace and refinement that very few
persons could equal. Louise felt like
making some commonplace remark
about the hardship of Rhena's life

to herself, Il was pretty sure she
would refuse to come, and don't think

From Il. E. Kneeland. Johnson. V

Used salt OIL various crops with good re-
suits, but best results TO oat crop. Turned
over several acres of worn out grass land
and sowed it at the rate of 400 lbs. per acre
with no other fertilizer. also used it on Oat
stubble of previous sowing, and in both
cases as good results were obtained as when
i used barn manure. Think it is the
cheapest fertilizer for the m ney invested

coming season.

FROM II. ~ 6dyIOTu, Eue0, VI.
Am fully convinced that as a fertilizer for

ket. Used 800 pounds to the acre in place of
manure with good results.
From Sewell Newton, No. Hyde Park, VT.
Spread one ton of salt on four acres and
sowed to oats, all of it steep side hill. upon
which have never known any manure to be

Used 1t on oats. Made straw sitter and
brighter and less liable to lodge and rust

considering its cost, that I can get espe-

The smelter is now closed down for

We will have one of the largest and
most perfect plants in the country

will be able to handle nearly all the
