Richmond Fertilizers.

The manufacture of concentrated nia-
nurcs is now conducted in this CITY Will
most comraendable enterprise, and WIN q
skill that is unsurpassed anywhere. IL IS
most fortunate thing for the South' !. .
time like the present, that the modern ier-
tilizerr, are available as auxiliaries IN the
regeneration of the agricultural interests,
which have received such heavy blow
and it is especially cause for graduation
to our Virginia farmers that our own peo-
plr-gentlemen Of responsibility and good
reputations-have embarked in the manu-
facture Of those fertilizers. Their names
are guarantee Of the genuineness of their
| manufactures in branch of enterprise in
which fraud and deception may be ex-
tensively practiced.
The SOUTHERN FERTILIZGSG COMPANY
and the JAMES RIVER MANUFACTURING Con-
rAyY, Of this city, have both earned good
regulations for the excellence of their ditie-
rent manures. The best skill is employed by
them, and the preparation of their various
grades of fertilizers is conducted with the
utmost care and accuracy. In no in
stance has any one of them failed to give
| satisfaction. Besides, there is poudrette
manufactured in this city by Mr.. '. BAR
GAMIS, which is favorably known, and is
pronounced, after severe test, to be infe-
rior to none made in the country.
That these manures are equal to any OF
their kind manufactured anywhere, we
most confidently assert; and they are sold
on as good terms as any others. So that our
Virginia farmers have the opportunity to
pursue policy that is altogether safe,
and which should be entirely grateful to
them to buy the manures made by their
own Virginia fellow citizens. In this way
they encourage men whom they know, and
whose good names guarantee the genuine
ness of what they sell, and at the same
time keep the money expended in ma
nures at home, to encourage our own peo-
pie and our own manufactures. This IS
the policy all should pursue. 1t is one
which benefits our local interests, stimu-
lates the energies of our own people, pro-
notes the thrift and growth Of the Common
wealth, and affords heartfelt pride and
pleasure to every ono who is animated by
a proper love for his own State.
The present, we repeat, is a period
which makes these portable manurcs OF
inestimable value to our people. Under
the old system Of cultivation with slave
labor. the lands have deteriorated, and need
| to have the assistance Of efficient fcrtillz-
| ing agents whose effects will be prompt.
To wait for the slow work Of improving
with the help Of the farm-made manures
would be disastrous to the cause OF agri-
culture. The welfare Of the community
demands that a quicker stimulant should
buoy up the hopes and sustain the ener-
gies Of the farmer. Tho new system re-
quircs that the area Of tillage should be
on each farm diminished, and that that
diminished area should be rapidly i'm.
proved, and made to return abundant
crops, TO reward the labor Of the husband
man, aud hasten the revolution from the
old to the new system, which must insure
q greater individual profit and larger ag-
gregate thrift.
The proper use Of the concentrated ma
nures will achieve this grand object; and
We repeat that it is especially gratifying
that our ownpeoplc are actively engaged in
their manufacture; and We commend their
fabrics as particularly deserving the favor
and preference Of the Virginia farmer be-
cause they are entirely reliable, and be-
cause in buying them the farmer bestows
his money where it will remain to enrich
his own State.
