QpNE-DUsr MANURE AND SUPER.

~ PHOSPHATE OF LIME.-The EAGLE
CHEMICAL CO., having recently made ex-
tensive additions 10 their works on Staten
Island, are now prepared TO meet the increased
demand for the above named invaluable MI
nnres and are ready so supply the agr'cultur-
lists with any quantity that may he required.
The Bone Dnst Manure will be OF the sams
q,aity. aud will he delivered at the same price
ms that heretofore furn, he'd to the farmers Of
Staten Island. New Jersey, and other par.s Of
the United States. IL will be ground INTO q
tine powder, and warranted pure ; and being
perfectly dry and well packed in clean barrels
can lie transported al n small cost either bv
Steamboat o. railroad.
The advantages Of Ground Bones for Mannrs
are too we'll known by the experience Of the past
twenty years to make any further reconmenda-
tions necessary.
The Super Phosphate of Lime or sulpha,ed
Bones may not perhaps bo 90 we'll known in
some parts Of the United States Nc the former,
as It is a comparatively recent mode ofapplying
the same ingredients, but from the great results
already obtained by the agricuhurirts in Eng
preferred to all other Manures in use.
The Proprietors Of the Eagle Chemical
Works have for several years past heen exien-
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 bv 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-
facurers do not hesitate to guarantee il to be the
most perfect Manure that can he made. No in
gradients will he 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 manuiae-
turers have ascertained by long and patient ap-
plications Lf chemical science, to be the most
perfect, and which they have proved to be so,
by the practical tests Of agriculturists on almost
every description Of soil, and in every variety
Of climate.
1t will always be kept to the h,gest standard
Of purity and excellence, aud every lot will he
carefully annalyzed and tested before delivery.
Ii - warranted 20 prove more valuable Ma
nure than the best Peruvian guano, being bo,n
more immediate IN its effects upon the plant,
and OF a more permanent benefit to the soil, be-
sides being less dangerous in its application.
Ii will be composed entirely Of Super-PhOs-
phate Of Lime, combined with such proportions
Of ammonia aud other ingredients rs neces.
sary to restore that which has been taken from
the soil by previous crops.

combined. called Phosphate of Lime. II 10 tho

nure to the AgricuIturists, and the object Of ap-
plying Suiphuric Acid to dissolve them 10, that
by its alliance with the Lime which 10 in the
bones, the Phosphorie Acid 10 rendered more
soluble or easily dissolved by rain and the diff
ference between Raw Ground Bones and dis.
solved Bones may, in plain way, be stated to
consist IN the fact. that by careful addition Of
the proper proportions oi Sulphuric Acid, tho
Phosphate Of Lime the Raw Bones is con-
verted partly into Sulpha,e Of Lime, which is
valuable Manure ; and . considerable portien Of
soluble Phosphoric Acid 10 left to combine st
once with the soil in readiness to act On the
plant.
Thus it is that a small quantity Of Super.
Phosphate Of Lime will force n crop Of ,urnips in
greater weight than n larger quantity OF Raw
Ground Bones, bringing them to the hoe, Al
least ten days sooner.
This is one Of the most important properties
Of this Phosphate derived from its peculiar pre-
paration; and il will always be found, where
used, to cause such a speedy developen,ent OF
the plant, as to enable il to escape the ravages
OF the fly and wireworm.
1t is calculated that one bushel Of this prcpa'-
ed Sulphur Phosphate IS equal in its effect to
six bushels vi Ground Bones in "A raw state
Thus the concentrated form OF this Manure
and its sm,ll bdlk makes il exceedingly convs-
nieni, and dmnshes the cost Of transportation
aud handling 250 pounds to $50 pounds TO the
acre is sufficient for any ordinary con iition Of
soil and the whole cost will not probably be
greater than the extra expense would be in the.
mere handling and carting the necessary quant-
ty Of stable Manure TO produce the same effect.
IL may he sown broadcast, and plowed into
the soil; or It may he drilled in with the seed.
1t may also be applied IN the hills during the
cultivation Of corn or other crops, when it will
stimulate the most sluggish growth into inmedi
ate action.
1t will be delivered in bags or barrels in such
lac per H.. aud each package will 6e brand.
