MOST DECIDED SUPERIORITY,
Which is maniiaef both in

cumberland Superb hOSphate
Stn maintains
MOST DECIDED SUPERIORITY
Which is manifest both in
Larger Results and i'm Greater Perma-
nency of Effects.
Its superior efficacy the first year is due to its arg
er per centage OF soluble phosphoric acid and of
mona; 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 a dryer
in place of the muck plaster, loan or ether cheap
substances used as dryers in ordinary Super phos-
phates This alone adds fifteen dollars per ton 10 its
vaue and this is so nsacb o0er and G60Ue all which
1sused to supply soluble phOsphOric acid.
Taking all its constituents and proportions into
as are made from mineral yhos0hatss or tbe So
called South Carolina Copyokites or fossil phos-
phoes, and which are urged upon our farmers at
about the same price at which the genuine and su-
perlor article made by the Cumberland Bone Com
any is sold
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 hast
year manured piece of and all with barn ma
we'll spread, to each hill. Where the Cumbel land
% Super- phosphate was applied, the yietd was SIX
TEEN BUSHELS Of Jackson Potatoes on the same
sized surface gave sir 5nshets acih the barn ma
nu1e alone, and the latter were poorer also and two
weeks LATER Those grown on the Cumberland Bone
Company's -Super-phosphate, brought one dollar
per bushel.
Some dealers refuse to sell the Cumberland Su-
per-phosphate, and decry its merits because they
can make larger profits on articles which they
buy at lower price, and which cost a great deal
less to manufacture, and thus furnish large mar
gin to pay for costly advertising and putting, and
the abors of plausible agents push OFF their wares
but all are not thus deceived nor willing to deceive
others, consequently it is
Sold by RAany Principal Dealers i'm Fer

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN.
DEING informed that.a report is circulated that
D have bought argelyof Bradley's Super-Phos-
phate, and prefer it 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
Packing, most OF it to supply to farmers who grow
corn for me. am also preparing myself this year
10 grow some three hundred acres, for wlieh the
Cumberland Super-Ph0sphate will be the principal
dressing. But some farmers have used Bradley's
and like it, and some desire to try both. 10 accom-
modate such persons, and to give any their choice
purchased soma of Bradley. / have used the Cum
berland more largely than any other purchaser,
every year since the Company began to manuiac-
ture, and prefer it to all other brands.
think 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.
