Fertilizers for Special Crops.
The Protrusive Farmer.
S many inquiries come to us about fertilizers for special crop<
that -we have thought it ben to give the following suggestion? m
fo-ruula??based on carefully conducted experiments in the fie'd
some ot them many times repeated, on toe .'arm of the Geonri

Oa well improved soils, or comparatively new lands, or botton

in either of the foregoing formulas. On such soils, when only
very light application is lutended to be made, ac'd phosphate alon

Physicians tell us that all
the blood in a healthy
human body passes through
the heart once in ever)' two
I. j minutes. If this action becomes
irregular the whole
body suffers. Poor health
follows poor blood ; Scott's
Emulsion makes the blood
pure. One reason why
SCOTT'S
EMULSION
is such a great aid is because
it passes so quickly into
the blood. It is partly digested
before it enters the
stomach ; a double advan8
tage in this. Less work
3 for the stomach; quicker
and more direct benefits.
To get the greatest amount
of good with the least pos5
sible effort is the desire of
s everyone in poor health.
Scott's Emulsion does just
that. A change for the
s better takes place even before
you expect it
