FERTILISING COMPOUND.
’■[Mils COMPOUND is made from the highest grade cf fish-bone Phosphate, and
1 mixed with chemicals, producing Phosphate of Lime, Phosphoric Acid, and all the
elements of a complete ibid perfect fertilize!, except Ammonia.
Ammonia is a necessary ingredient in a complete fertilizer, but is so expensive that
a first-class article t wlion manufactured commercially,) ia so high-priced that no farmer
cau afford to use it.
An abuudai.t supply of Ammonia ja found on every farm, hi raw cotton seed aud ani
mal n.anr.ret therefore, by utilizing these articles of home production, every farmer
can make a itiisMe 0 rtih/er on hia own place, at a small outlay of money, As good, if
not better than can bo purchased.
This lli mp'iutul, coutph&Ad with cotton seed or animal mautirs, aa directed m the
formula, makes n tmnplrU fertdliur, rich in all the elements of plant food, and certain
to give satisfaction, «t a price within reach of any and every farmer. Ji it qlro well
and ftivdfalg knmt'n to the Georgia State Department of Agrietiltvre, who in their [net
circular of tit A January, 11476, recommend the tire of it to Git farmer* of Georgia in pref
erence, to complete commercialfertiliiiTi, bring lent expentdee and wort certain in itirumlte.
Professor Whirl, the St«te Chemist, in his report of March, 1*72, to the Btate ijkrienl
turul Society, | lucea tbe LOGAN COMPOUND in the front rank of fsrUlinem,. fegiird
leas of price. Permanent benefit to the land ia also a sure result from its use.
It ia recommended - because :
Ist. it being principally Phosphoric Acid and Phosphate of Lime, is pure plant
food, anil is good for all crops on any soil.
Id. It is manufactured at the South, from fish-bone and chemicals cf the highest
grade, without adulteration.
3d. it permanently improves the soil, by returning to it the fertilizing ingredients re
moved by continued cropping.
4th. Its effects are immediate its the production of large returns the first season
nth. It is tbe least expensive of all, and uorkuowit Fertilizer produces a better practi
cal result
6th. It utilizes the ammonia found on overy farm, thereby saves to the farmer the
cost of this expensive ingredient.
7th. it is placed by Prof. White fin bis report to the Slate Agricultural Society,) in tho
front rank Its to intrinsic value and material for plant-food,
fith. It gives to Cotton the food necessary to sustain life while fruiting, thereby pre
venting what is called “rust.”
!Bh. It bus proved i.utiiifiVtory iu every port of tbe State, by all who liuv# used it.
The cash price for tho I ,( H!AN COMPOUND is Fifteen Dollars for six hundred
pounds, which is the quantity to compost with and make a ton of two thousand pounds
i,„ other r xpen c except freight from the works near Charleston, H. (\, which freight
iH paid by the purchaser.

cotton fruited all through tbv season, not
