CHEMICAL CO., having recently made ex-
tensive additions TO their works on Staten
Isia.d, are now prepared to meet the increased
demand for the above named invaluable MI.
nures, and ara ready 50 supply the agr,cultur-
lists with any quantity that may be required.
The Bone Dust Manure viii be OF the same
quality, and will Re delivered at the same price
as that heretofore fr ii, he'd to the farmers Of
staten Island. New Jersey, and other paris Of
the United States. II will be ground into u
hnc powder, and warranted pure and being
perfectly dry and well packed in clean barrels
can tie transported at n small cost either by
Steamboat or railroad.
The advantages Of Ground Bones for Mannre
are too we'll known by the experience Of the past
twenty years to make any further recommenda-
tions necessary.
The Super Phosphate Of Lime or Sulpha,ed
Bones may not perhaps he so we'll known in
some parts Of the United States ne the former,
As it is a comparatively recent mode ofapplying
the same ingredients. but from the great results
already obtained by the agricuturirts in Eng
land, and the United States, it IL likely to be
preferred to all other Manures in use.
The Proprietors Of the Eagle Chemical
Works have for several years past heen exten-
sively engaged in the manufacture OF this article
in England, where they have had the assistance
Of the most eminent agricultural chemists in
Europe.
The Super Phosphate now prepared by them
has been tested on every variety Of soil and crop
in Europe, the United States and West Indies.
with the most invariable success. The manu-
facturers do not hesitate to guarantee il to be the
mort perfect Manure that can be made. No in
gradients will be used until they have been
carefully examined and their purity tested, and
the mode Of preparing such ingredients and The
proportions used, will be such as the manutac-
turers have ascertainsd by lsng and patient APP
plications IF chemical science, to be the most
perfect, and which they have proved to be so,
by the practical tests Of ugriculturs,s on almost
every description Of soil. and in every vsr'et,
of climate.
IL will always be kept to the h,gest standard
Of purity aud excellence, and every lot will be
carefully annaly zed and tested before delivery
II 10 warranted TO prove a more valuable Ma
nure than the best Peruvian guano, being botn
more immediate in its effects upon the plant,
and Of a more permanent benefit to the soil, be-
sides being less dangerous in ito application.
Ii will be composed entirely Of Super-Phos-
phate Of Lime, combined with such proportions
Of ammonia aud other ingredients AS are neces-
sary to restore that which has been taken from
the soil by previous crops.
Raw bones, in addition to the fat or gelatine,
are composed Of Phrosphoric Acid and Lime

consist IN the fact. that by careful addition OF

Thus il 10 that a small quantity Of Super
Phosphate Of Lime will force crop Of ,urnips il

This is enc Of the most important propertiei
Of this Phosphate derived from its peculiar pre-
