Those who have used Salt on light.
sandy or worn-out soils are almost unan-
imous in the opinion that it is the cheap
est and best fertilizer that they can use
on this kind of land, especially for oats.
The application of from 600 lbs. to 1000
lbs. per acre is said to more than
double the crop. Salt is also excellent as
a weed killer. The Vermont Experiment
Station especially recommends it for kill
ing Paint Brush on grass land. c. S.
Page, HYDE Park, VT, sells a very desir-
able Salt for fertilizing purposes, put up
in cheap 100 pound sacks, for the very
low price of $3.50 per ton, free on board
cars at Hyde Park This price is con-
slderably less than that for which
ordinary Salt can be bought and his Salt
contains considerable matter that adds
to its fertilizins value. The freight rates
to points between Lunenburg and
Swanton and Newport and White River
Jet, are very low on this material,
especially in II ton lots. Write for full

larger number of eggs, but the eggs
