Organic animal fertilizers, consisting of BONE, BLOOD, MEAT and high-grade chemicals are the nearest approach to this best of plant foods found in farmyard manure. New England Axnimal Fertilizers feed the soil in a natural way, returning its fertility and keeping it rich and productive. They furnish the riz4¢ food that makes the right kind of crops. An increase in high-zrade animal matter and chemicals has taken the place of potash this year at no increase in price.
