Manure will show results for three years, and its cost divided through this period will show a much lower cost per unit of plant food than any olher fertilizer on the market. Car Lots ?. Specialty Cars Average 53 Tons We are daily making shipments of this product into all sections of the country, and it is bi?ing received with entire satisfaction on account of its excellent tjuality and condition on arrival at destination. It contains no objectionable matter such as trash, dirt, obnoxious grass seeds, etc.; oat straw is the only bed iug used, and the Manure 'naturally contains a small quantity, but not suificie. t to make objectionable. As a matter of fact, it is worth more than its weight, on account of its high value of potash, which makes it more valuable as a fertilizer. THE R. R. COstMl^StON OF S. C. September 5. pji 7.
