The Best Fertilizer for Seeding
Down,

Farmers who are looking for a first
class fertilizer for seeding down in the
summer or fall will find it in the following
formula This formula was devised by
the director of the Vermont Experiment
station at Burlington and published in
bulletin No. ll6 OF the station. The
amounts named are for one acre:
Raw ground bone, 300 to 400 lbs.
Acid phosphate, 100 to $50 lbs.
Wood ashes. 800 to 400 lbs.
Muriate OF potash. so to 70 lbs.
The ingredients Of this mixture are all
recognized as valuable fertlizing agents
but with the exception Of ashes they
heretofore have been difficult TO obtain
in the markets OF Vermont. This condi-
ton is now changed and all the materials
which the farmer can usually furnish
himself-can be purchased OF Carroll S.
Page, Hyde Park, Vt, who will be pleased
to make quotations on application.
The muriate OF potash and acid phos-
phate he sells are the purest that can
be bought and his raw ground bone is
guaranteed TO be absolutely pure and
the best the market affords. The bone
which he offers is simply the finer par
ticles that are sifted out OF the coarser
granulated bone that goes into the
manufacture Of his Pages Perfected
Poultry Food. II should not be con-
founded with the bone ordinarily offered
by the trade as that has usually been
steamed or treated with acids. It will
be usually found that practically all the
heterogeneous elements have been removed
to make glue thus taking away the
most valuable part OF the bone. II you
are interested in the matter OF summer
or fall seeding or OF fertilizers for any
purpose. write him for information and
/ prices. mentioning this paper.
