shown that limestone or MARI, finely
ground is better, especially for use or,
sandy soils because it has a milder
action NOT causing the burning out of
the organic matter as does the more
caustic Quick or water-slaked lime -

"MARL This material is a soft.
fine carbonate of lime, coming from
disintegrated shells. 1t is a very
desirable form for agricultural use.'-
Connecticut Experiment Station Bulle-
tin 163.
"Manv farmers in this vicinity are
still reanino profitable crops from
land enriched by the heavy applica-
lions of MARL made by their ances-
tors MANY wears ago. "-Director Hall,
Rothamsted Experiment Station, En-
gland.
"Lime in shell MARI is not in the
caustic condition found IN freshly
burned lime, and will not destroy the
humus in soil. ''-Southern Planter.
II used MARL the past season on a
piece of oats, also USED hardwood ashes
and phosphate on the same piece and
the MARL gave as good crop as did
either the ashes or fertilizer. p. H
Foster.
81 have hanging in front Of my mill
a bunch of green oats. These were
grown on land that had received moth
ing but MARL for dressing. no other
fertilizer being used. These oats stand
five feet high and there is an average
of ninety oats to straw. They are
splendid color and the oats are well
| filled. p R. Hatton, Lebanon, N. H
Having tried all kinds of complete
fertilizer on a billy lawn in Barton
village, have found that MARL will
work more successfully IN holding the
soil from washing, and producing a
good grass lawn. than anything so far
tried. "-E. M. Nichols.
| eve use MARL on the high school
| lawn which is of considerable extent
and which has been one of the best
| lawns in town, and find that 1t has
given as good results as any fertilizer
used. &C. E. Boswell.
The following are extracts from
| letters from one of the leading lime
experts in this country, who has
personally visited our deposit, and who
has used our MARL.
cit gives me very great pleasure to
! tell you that | know of no form Of
carbonate of lime which is quite the
equal. or at least the superior, of the
MARL which you are offering. Last
summer when [ visited your deposit |
was surprised and pleased to see what
a remarkable, pure and large deposit
you had, for it was far beyond my eX-
pectations. This material is especially
valuable for use on all of the lighter
gravelly soils of New England for the
reason that it can be applied immedi-
ately before crop is planted without
any fear of possible injury, whereas
on such soils slaked, burned or hydrat-
ed lines are likely to cause more or
less injury to the crop if the season
becomes very dry and the conditions
are unfavOrable. With
this material one can accomplish the
improvements to the soil sought by the
use of lime and at the same time need
not fear undue or hasty destruction of
the vegetable matter in consequence
; of it's employment. /
consider it the finest form of lime for
use on all light, sandy and gravelly
Soils 1t is even better than ground
I limestone for many purposes"
\ MAXI IS to be had IN bulk, IN st

e burlap sacks. 1t will keep indefinitely
and will not deteriorate; it will simply
