Time and money can be saved to the farmer by making searching inquiry into the ingredients of the Fertilisers he contemplates using. In applying Fertiliser, a farmer should seek to return to his land the valuable constituents removed in milk and mutton, and a little consideration on this point should convince him that there is no sense in putting on his land what is already there in plenty. The outstanding feature of Crossed Keys Fertilisers is the fact that they contain the essential proportion of Blood and Bone and little more need be said on this point. The same remarks apply to Top-dressing, and realising the ever increasing demand for this ciass of manure, the Southland Frozen Meat Company are taking the precaution to produce a mixture that will give the desired results i and demand a repeat order.—Advt.
