HOME-MADE FERTILIZERS AN IJ1PORTANT ENTERPRISE IN AuouR A'TED IN COLUMBIA. The Work IUnpped Out by tshe Colun,iba PIhosphnto (.mspany-Wiat It Oiler, to the Farnera of (eoratn and she l'atru Iane. An important,branch of home iudustry has just boon established at Columbia, S. C., under the name of the Columbia Phosphate Company. The oflicers are as follows: President- W. A.

The company has just issued a circu lar setting fourth its purpoaes and its facilitiis. It says: Before purchasing your fertilizers for another season we desire to call your attention to the goods we will put upon the market, for the crop of 1890, and trust that you will give them a full trial, satisfiedl not, only that the result obtained from this our first year's production will fully realize your expectation, but that nucceedintg years will con tirmn them. As thi. is our first season, we have ni testimony to oiler, but have this to say.
