Do you know that home-mixing of
fertilizers has proved to be the most
economical and satisfactory method
of procuring fertilizers? 1t is now
generally conceded by up-to-date ag-

obtained by buying the crude mater

adapted to the different crops you
raise, and the varying conditions of
the soil found on the farm.
If you will send us your name on a
