MAPES' NITROGENIZED
PHOSPHATE OF LIME ! :!

THE followingsis an extract from the re-
E port OF the experiments made in 1862
by an Agricultural Society in Chester
pular Fertilizers on Corn, nj including Peru
Wan Guano, Bone Dust, (inc,) Barn-yard
Manure, Poudrctte, Homemade Phos-
phate, composed of ''ground bones dis
solved with sulpnuric acid Fresh Ashes,
Chicken Manure, and all the best known
Super -Phosphates of Lime, viz: Baugh's,
Patton's, Rhodes. Rogers 4 Gest's, Copes'
and others-showing that MAPES' NITRO
GENIZED SUPER-PHOSPHATE OFLIME
produced larger yield of corn than any
of the other Super-Phosphates, Guanos or
manufactured Fertilizers.
The following is from communication
1862:
The experiments were tried with differ
ent amounts OF. values of theSame manure,
but have reduced the results all to one
amount, viz: 81. Below have arrangeda
table, containing the names of the ma
nures, with the increase of ono dollars
worth OF each set opposite. The cost of
the application is included in the cost Of
the manure:
''Mapes' Nitrogenized Super-Phosphate,
81 worth increased the yield 52i lbs.
Rhodes Super-Phosphate, ditto 321 lbs;
Hewes', ditto 40; Patton's Phosphate
Guano, ditto 4S7; Rogers & Gest's Super
Phosphate, ditto 494; Baugh's Super-Phos-
phate, ditto $40; Tasker 4 Clarks Meat
and Bone Compost, ditto 1885, Barn-yard

j. j. Mopes, Esq, No. IL Beekn,un St
DEAR SIR: have very great pleasure in
writing you, touching the effects Of your
Super-Phosphatc of Lime on our cotton
preparations, the appearance of the plant
IS most hopeful and promising, as regards
large and remunerating yield. I feel
certain your manure will give from 100 to
13O pounds OF cotton more than any other
preparation, per acre. 1t is u remarkable
fact that no rust is seen in the plant where
your manure has been used, while all
others show rust, moro or less, and this is
especially the case where Guano has been
used. And last though not least, as re-
CARDS the planters interest, feel certain
that cotton from Super-Phosphate will
weigh much heavier than from any OF! or
preparation; in this particular, believe
Phosphates are destined to work the grest-
est possible revolution in the cotton grow
ing States. The plants look most vigorous
and luxurious, some being six feet high,
and holding from so to ITO bols to each
S. Straw, IF Edge6cld, S. c., writes. In
ceinber IA, 1860: ''Havlng heard ySNr
Nitrogenized Super-Phosphate of Lime
very highly spoken of, thought of trying
| 1T to experiment with; accordingly,
bought one sack of it Of your agents in
Hamburg, and applied it to turnipss on the
poorest sandy land in this section. My
neighbor, David Glover. Esq. who is !
practical farmer, took about half the sack;
we planted after the rainy season and in
the dryest kind of spell. We have had
September. I keep thinning mine and still
have continuous yield. The turnips ave-
rage about four pounds each. NV neigh
bors generally planted when we had good
seasons, but failed to produce crop.
Being satisfied of the value of your fertI
izer, and pleased with it's results, felt
pride in calling my neighDors to look at my
crop. You may depend that there will be
q large demand in this section for yon''
Super-Phosphate Of Lime, as it suits our
land and climate"
Only 80 pounds Of Mapes Super-Phos.
| phate per acre, costing about 81, produced
| d luxuriant growth of cotton on the poor
est land, and prevented rust.
NEwBERRY, S. c., October, 1860.
Prof. j. j. NapeS-DEAR SIR: l bought
| 90 bags Of your Nitrogenized Super-Phos-
phate of Lime of your agents, Messrs. H.
& N. f. Solomon, Hamburg, S. c., (who
| solicited a statement of its effects and
| applied it to 10 acres Of my poorest cotton
land. This land is on the public road,
where it's effects were seen. Ny neighbors,
who are acquainted with the land, were
astonished at the luxurious growth OF cot
ton where L used your Super Phosphate.
1t prod9ced better cotton, and larger
amount, than on my good land; less work
was needed i'll making the cotton than on
my other land. Not particle of rust was
to be seen where 1 applied your Super
Phosphate, while the rust prevailed over
every. other portion of the crop. Respect
fully yours, DAVID PAYNE.
NoTE.-Mr. Paynes good land compares
favorably with the best cotton lands on the
Saluda River. The Saluda bottoms are
proverbial for producing large Quantities
| of cotton.

! Prof. j. j. MapeS--DEAR SIR: In reply
to yours Of the lst inst, l cheerfully state
have used Mapes' Nitrogenized Super
Phosphate of Lime Oh my cotton OF tie
present year, and am perfectly satisfied
with its yield l can recommend it to my
neighbors with confidence, Us pure and
effeMive manure, and would give it the
prdeefence to any other in the market.
Yours, respectfully, THOS. DANlS.%
