Its superior efficacy the first year due to its larg-
er per centage OF soluble phOsphoric acid and of
monia and its greater permanency of action is due
to the presence OF upwards OF five hundred pounds
OF pure raw bone in fine powder, added as dryer,
in place OF the muck, plaster, loan or other cheap
substances used as dryers In ordinary Super -phos-

Testimonials of its efficacy can be seen in large
numbers at the Office of the Company; such as one
from James PhiDney, Esq, OF Gotham, who last
year manqred piece of land all with barn ma

Company's Super-phosphate, brought one dollar

Some dealers refuse to sell the Cumberland Su-
per-phosphate, and decry its merits because they
can make larger profits on articles which they can
buy at lower price, and which cost great deal
less to manufacture, and thus furnish large mar
gin to pay for costly advertising and putting, and
the labors of plausible agents to push off their wares

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN.
REING informed that report is circulated that
~ have bought largely of Bradley's Super-Phos-
phate and preferit to that made by the Cumberland
Bone Company, desire the error to be corrected.
10 explain more fully, let me say that use sew
eral hundred tons yearly in my business Of Corn
Packlng, most OF it to supply to farmers who grow
corn 1or me. am also preparing myself this year
to grow some three hundred acres, for which the
cumberland Super-Phosphate will be the principal
dressing. But some farmers have used Bradley's
and nke 1t, and some desire to try BOTH. To accom-
modate such persons, and to give any their choice,
1 purchased some of Bradley. / have used the Cum
Derland more largely than any other purchaser,
every year since the Company began to manufac-
ture, and prefer it to all other brands.
tnink farmers are being imposed upon in having
spurious and inferior articles urged and almost
forced upon them and have not felt warranted in
encouraging farmers who grow corn for me to buy
any other sorts than the two named above, giving
the preference to the Cumberland.
