13RITISH PATENT MANURE COMPANY,
7, CHAPEL "WALKS, MANCHESTER,
Beg to call the attention -f Agr;culturiits to their Manures, pre-
pared from recipes and under the immediate snrweillance of Dr.
SHERIDAN MUSPRATT, F R A., tke., Professor at

the College of Chemistry, Liverpool; Fellow of the [icyal Agricul-
tural society of England: and auth .r of various works on Agricul-
tural Chemistry.
It is an admitted rrlnciple in agriculture and farmers generally
are aware, that the efficacy of artificial manures depends entirely
on their supplying to th! soil those elements required by the grow-
Mg crops in a state capalrle of ' ding abscrbed by the roots of the
plant. The most importer consti uents then for Grain Crons are
an abun4ant supply of ni roger], silica, magnesia, &c.; for Roots,
as potatoes, turnips &c., ph ssph,tes and alkalies are in ispensable.
These also are required far the othe; crops, but in very d fferent
proportions.
T:iis Company's Manures are prepared on the principle that they
contain 01l the ingredients of the best Peruvian Guano, and in a
bett,r a-d mote assimilative to m, tesides ot'er mineral matters
which are known to play a snort import tat port in the vegetable
kingdom; all the salts I:eing in more exact proportion for the corn-
plot, developemmt 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 append the following
flattering Analysis and repeat from D -. W. B rd Herr path :-
32, (lid Market street, Bristol, 2.5; March. 1857.
'Gentlemen.—l I ave analysed the sample of Patent Manure sent
me, and the remits of which I new enclose :
Moisture 15.40
Arnmoniacal St Nitrogen, 7 01)
Solu le Salts (°oluble Phosphates. 7.20)
Earthy Phosphate 5.....
Nitrogenous Organic Matter

100:00

The soluble salts consisting principally oF the chlorides of potas-
sium and sodium; super-ph st.hate of lime and phosphate of mag
nesia; sulphates of potassa, lime, and magnesia; and nitrate of
soda ; together with a soluble silicate of potassa.
Fr.mr this examination, I havo no hesitation in stating that this
manure contains a very large propoition if the two most important
ingredients of reruvian guano. viz: phosphate of lime and fling-
nesi and arnmoniacal salts 22.30 per cent., yieldirg with ihe other
nitro:rot-ions matter 7.01 per cent (If nitrogen, a most indispensable
constituent of any manure for cereal (wheat, &c.) crops. The other
alts of potassa soda, lime, magnesia, and silica, are in the best
"ate and proportion to be assimilated by the growing plant, d
will doubtless afford to the agriculturist a most valuable manure,
an I whi •h will give hi'n large crops at once, as veil as produce
effects upon his land ; combining as is does the qualifies of
a good stimulating manure, together with the more durubie effects
of bone manure. . _

I have also-no hesitation -in saying that the artificial manure
manufactured by you from Dr. MUSPRAIT'S formula (whoce name
alone Is a sufficient guarantee of its excei:ence) must return to the
oil all the inorganic constituents taken away by any crop however
heavy t may tie; and 1, therefor, with the utmost confidence. recom-
mned it to the attention of the public as a most excellent and
durable Manure. (Signed) •

From the Rev. Dr. Briwles, Stanton Lacy Vicarage. nem- Shrewsbury.
Last year I had a manure recommended to me by D . Haeridan
Aluspratt (made on his recipe), and with a most satisfactory result.
It produced a very heavy crop of grass. •
