THE
BRITISH PATENT MANURE COMPANY,
7, CHAPEL WALKS, MANCHESTER,
Beg to call the attention of Agriculturists to their Manures, pre-
nared from recipes and under the immediate snrveillance of Dr.
SHERIDAN MUSPRATT, F.R S.E., 1.11.1..1 A. &c., Professor at
the College of Chemistry, Liverpool; Fellow of the Royal Agricul-
tural Society of England and autbcr of various work: on Agrizul
tural Chemistry.
It is an admitted principle in agriculture and farmers generally
are aware, that the efficacy of artificial manures depends entirely
on their supplying to the soil those elements required by the grow-
ing crops in a state capable of sing absorbed by the roots of the
plant. The most importacvt constituents then for Grain. Crops are
an abundant supply of nitrogen. silica, magnesia, &c. ; for Roots,
as potatoes, turnips &c., phosphates and alkalies are inlispensable.
These also are required fur the other crops, but in very different
proportions.
This Company's Manures are prepared on the principle that they
contain all the ingredients of the best Peruvian Guano, and in a
bettor and mote assimilative fo m, besides otter mineral matters
which are known to play a most important part in the vegetable
kingdom; all the salts Icing in more exact proportion for the com-
plete developem,nt of the crops for which they are suited, than is
found in Guano; consequently, independently of price, they‘are
fa cheaper.
The British Patent Manure Company eppend the following
flattering Analysis and report from D W. Brd Harrpath :-
32, Old Market street, Bristcl, 2 st March, 1857.
•
Gentlemen.—l tave analysed the sample of Patent Manure sent
me, and the results of which I flaw enclose :
Moisture . .. • •
Ammoniacal Salts 'Nitrogen, 7.01)
Solur le Salts (:soluble Phosphates, 7.20)
Earthy Phosphates..... 30.t36
Nitrogenous Organic Matter meg

The soluble salts consisting principally o the chlorides of potas-
sium and sodium ; super-ph, sphate of lime and phosphate of mug
siesta; sulphates of potassa, lime, and magnesia/ and nitrate of
s da ; together with a soluble silicate of potassa.
From this examination, I have no hesitation in stating that this
manure contains a very large proportion s•f the two most important
ingredients of Ferevian guano, viz : pho-pirate of lime and rnag-
nesi:, arel aromoniacal salts 22.30 per cent., yielding with the other
nitrogenous matter 7.01 per cent of nitrogen, a most indispensable
constituent of any manure for cereal (wheat, &c.) crops. The other
sits of potassa soda, lime, magnesia, and silica, ate in the best
state and proportion to be assimilated by the growing plant, a: .d
will doubtless afford to the agriculturist a most valuable manure,
and which will give him large crops at once, as sell as produce
lasting effects upon his land; combining as it does the qualities of
a good stimulating manure, together with the more dur.nle effects
of bone manure.
I have also no hesitation in saying that the artificial manure
mann!actnred by you from Dr. P.IIJU'ItAIT.S formula ;whore name
alone is a sufficient guarantee of its excel encel must return to the
oil all the inorganic constituents taken away by any crop however
he. vy it may be; and I, therefore, with the utmost confidence, recom-
mned it to the attention of the public as a most excellent and
durable manure. (Signed)

From the Bev. Dr. Bowles, Stanton Lacy Vicarage. near Shiewabury.
Last year I had a manure recommended to me by D t-heridan
Murpratt (made on his recipe), and with a most satisfactory result.
It produced a very heavy crop of grass.
