the stone to powder. After being ground
the limestone will be hauled to the fields

furnish power for the crusher. Agricul-
trral experts declare that pu!verized
limestone is a better fertilizer than lime.
Practical experience in other sections OF
the country has shown this to be the case.

d,c;no limestone is such as TO make the
operation practicable, the movement in
