To Farmers and Gardeners.
| We desire to call atten ton to an advertise
ment iu this weeks issue, of the Concentrated
naanures manufactured in Chicago, and for
sale in this city by II. B. Hinsdale, the agent
for Kenosha county. OF the value of these
manures, especially the 'Raw Bone Phos-
| phate,' it is not necessary to speak. The
| uniform experience of the last fifteen years
has convinced all who have used this article,
of its superiority to all other manures, both
in its wonderful effects on all kinds of crops,
both field and garden, and in its great econo-
my. Hundreds of testimonials can be OBJ
tanned, which establish the fact, that it is ab-
solutely cheaper than barnyard manure, even
where the latter can be had at very small cost
A dressing of three hundred pounds to the
acre, sown broadcast, and costing but seven
and half dollars, will produce better crops
of wheat, rye, barley, oats or grass, than thir-
ty wagon-loads of barnyard manure, while
the cost of hauling, spreading, and ploughing
under the latter, even il obtained without
cost, will much exceed that sum-
1t is established beyond all question. that
the bones of animals contain the elements
necessary to the production of plants, in
greater degree than any other known sub
stance. When treated with sulphur!c acid,
and reduced to dry powder, the phosphates
and ammonia contained in them, are ready to
be at once taken up by the rootlets of the
plants, without waiting the process of decom.
position, necessary with vegetable manures-
while the smaller particles of the bone, re-
m ifiY in ba coil fO,,c
ing entirely decomposed, furnish nutriment
to succeeding crops in most marked degree,
the effects eff which can be plainly seen by the
most casual observer.
All of our scientific writer's on agriculture
and horticulture, unite in giving the Bone
Phosphate the highest rank among fertilizers.
ana are unanimous in recommending them,
when they can be obtained in pure state.
For the last fifteen years, Messrs Bough 81
Son, of Philadelphia, have been engaged in the
manufacture of these manures, and during all
that period have maintained the reputation
of their manufactures, as being strictly what
they protested to be. In the vicinity of the
larger cities, Philadelphia, New York, Boston,
Baltimore, ETC., the market gardeners all use
it freely and regularly. The sales in the city
of Baltimore, alone, reached the enormous
amount of twenty thousand tons, during the
last year.
Heretofore it has not been used in the west
even by those who were aware of its value, on
account of the heavy freight, but since the
establishment of a mandatory at Chicago.
the demand has become very great, and is
constantly increasing. Last week ten tons
were shipped to our sister city, Racine, and
twenty tons tons to Belot, all on orders and
for immediate use. We think friend Hinsdale
is doing The public service in putting it in
the power OF onr farmers and market garden
ers to obtain this valuable compound at the
manufacturers prices. For garden products
of all kinds, vegetables, small fruits, grapes
plants and flowers, it is Indispensable.
