the who farms without knowledge science thought

the progress OF this great country depend in
great upon the success Of the agricultural
classes for they the bulwarks Of national sta.
blity. There is difference between full crop and
half crop Intelligence seasonAby applied often averts
cOnntcracts dangers which ignorance never thinks Of
too late to escape them From what we read of
products of English farms it is evident that tho amount
depends greatly the mode OF tlage-upon the proper
application Of super.phosphates and other manures
The crops raised in country as a general rule
would not sell for enough to pay the rent of farm in
England Yet, our produce sells nearly as high. The
difference is that raise much less the ground
owing to tho want Of good tlage and the proper app
cation Of ammoniGcal and phosphate stimulans TO the
soil. Farmers expect the land to do everything for
them while they do nothing for the land. This will not
DO for any long period The land gets tired Of that
Of farming. Wheat protests against it. corn pines
away; potatoes cabbage, fruit and everything shrnks
to a dwarhsh size. The mans pocket shares in the
general shrinkage There is intelligence enlisted in
the farming interests of the country 1t is dIfusing
itself but the whole lump not yet entirely leayehed.
There are still fears of agricultural books and papers
Of book farming, and of super erphosphatos, but this
prejudice is rapidly disappearing There ere unmiS.
taxable evidences in this from the fact that 10 years
ago. Messrs. BAUGH & Sons, the welknown manu-
acturers Of Raw Bone Super Phosphate of Lime could
only find sale in Pennsylvania New-Jersey, Delaware
and Maryland for so uus of that article while last
year they made nearly thousand tns valued at over
half a million Of dollars.
The value of ground bones as an enricher and naiu
raj fertilizer of the soil is now Acknowledged by every
intelligent farmer. and they not only exten-
svey used in the adjoining States but since the close
OF the Rebellion orders have been received from West
ern Pennsylvania Ohio, Virginia North and South
Carolina. Alabama, Georgia and other points away
down in Dixie"
An immense establishment has recently been erected
Morrs-st wharf by Messrs Baugh and Sons for the
manufacture Of this invaluable article. Their lot is
25O0 feet long by 100 feet wide extending east from
Otscsost TO the river front, with excellent pier and
ample room for several vessels drawing 20 less feet
Of water Their manufacturing establishment Is
mammoth one occupying space Of 6ix36O feet with
storage capacity OF 600 tuns. The crushing mills &C.
are driven by 7G.horse engine and the machinery Is
so arranged that nearly all the work in the building
is executed by their elevators Their Raw Bone
Phosphate is made by peculiar process, patented by
themselves and embraces the manipulation Of bones
with their adherng organic matter true bird guGno
of which particular sort they consume nearly all
brought to this MARKET and suphuric acid, oil ground
up and scientifically mixed resulting in pow
der the ferzDg qualities Of which are too well known
to require any commendatory notice from us. The
guano employed is brought from island in the Car
ribean Sea- and is claimed to be Of the origin as
Peruvian Guano but differing in the amount OF am
mona it contains, owing to the difference Of locality
The latter being taken from ranless latitude the am
rnona preponderates The guano used by tho Messrs.
Baugh Of very soft and soluble nature and by their
special process is supplied abundanty with ammonia
which is obtained from the organic part Of the bone 1t
is held by many agricuursis that the ammonia as wen
as the phosphate of lime obtained from the bones OF ami
mails and the deposit OF birds is Of practical value

phosphate Of line of a hard mineral gaano.
But where do the bones come fIomr it !
will naturally be asked. We will answer There are
stored in the basement Of this establishment LOCO
tuns horse bones and meat all the glory
that now remains of the gallant steeds that Gen
Juba Early "whirng' up the Shenandoah Valley. !
and bore Kilparick's valiant horsemen on their
victorious career. The agents Of the firm are con-
stantly receiving supplies from Pittsburgh, Cincn.
natl, Chicago. w.Orleans. Mobile, and most OF
the other Southern ports. The pork packing estab'
lishments Of the West furnish q large supply-in
fact the amount coming forward from Ohio and
illinois requires the constant Of about $50 900 worth
of heavy gunDy bags single train OF f3 carloads OF
hog bones were received last Summer at one time. Tho
reader would naturally infer that the collection of such
mass Of animal matter at single point would create
en- offensive and insunerabe nuisance Such Is far
from the fact All the bones &c, are perfectly dried
and disinfected before they received by process
patented by this rm and the only offensive odor which
We found during visit to the establishment was from
the ammonia which is constantly escaping dur
ing the preparation OF the super.phosphaes,
and every one knows that ammonia aud phos
phorc acid are the great enriching ingredients OF Pc
ruyan guano-the best Of all fertilizers The superiority
and popularity OF Messrs. Baugh Sons "Raw Bone
Phosphate" has brought out many limitations and they
have been compelled in order to protect their friends
from imposition and warn them against the purchase
of an inferior article TO adopt peculiar trade mark.
which will be found upon every bag and barrel of their
manufacture.
A branch Office has lately been opened at No lel
Pearlst., New. York where Baugh Brothers Co. are
established as general Wholesale Agents, and from
this point they can readily supply all parts Of the world
with this celebrated manure.
