Cumberland Super Phosphate

THE CUMBERLAND BONE COMPANY is an
Il associ alton oil pract farmers, VIII olganized
under a charter from the Sta order to protect
themselves from opposition in the purchase
mercial manures, by manufacturing good an ar i
c;e as could be made, by employing the best materi-
ais and highest skill. he ompany ENGAGED t
ervices of Mr.. GOODALE, well knt wn as an Agli-
cultural Chemist, aud secretary OF the Maine Board
OF Aercultu who has sole charge OF directing its
manufacture.
One result of their operations was, the production
OF so an article tba others wanted to share
in its benefits; and thus sales tegan, and they have
increased steadily and RAPIDLY, so as 10 be more than
ten times as gr at in 1865 as they we're in 1866
Another result has b. en- that. other manufacturers
who wanted 10 sell their manures in Maine, were
compelled to improve the quality Of their goods, so
as to make some approach to the high standard thus
established; but the
Cumberland super-PhOsphate
Still maintains
MOST DECIDED SUPERIORITY,
Which is manifest both in
LarEer Results and i'm Greater Perma-
nency of Effects.
Its superior efficacy the first wear is due TO Its larg
er per centage OF soluble phosphorc acid and of
monia; and its permanency OF action is due
10 the presence of upwards OF five hundred pounds
OF pure raw hone in hne powder, added os a dryer
in place of the muck. plaster, loam ether cheap
substances uses, as dryers in ordinary Super -phos-
pilates. This alone adds teen do lars Der ton 10 lis
value, and thi is so much over and db0ve all which
isused to supply soluble Ihosphoric acid.
Taking all its constituents end proportions into
as are made from mineral phosphdtes or the So
called South Car Tina CoDrOl,tes or FOSSIL Dhos-
pilates, and which are urged upon our farmers at
about the same price at which the genuine and su.
perior article made by the Cumberland Bone Com
paDy is sold
Testimonials of its efficacy can be seen in large
numbers the Office OF the Company; such as one
from James Phinney, Esq, OF Gotham, who last
year mau9red piece of and all with barn ma

Some dealers refuse to sell the Cumberland Su-
per-ph0sphate, and decry its me its because they
buy at lower price, and which cost great dell
less to manufacture. and thu furnish large mar

TO WHOM IT. MAY CONCERN.
DEING informed that report is ci culated that
ID have bought largely of B-a6ey's Super Phos
phate, and prefer t to that made bv the Cumberland
Bone Company, desire The error to be c0rrec'ed.
TO explain more folly, let me say that use sew
eral hundi ed tons yearly in my business of Corn
Packing, most Of it to supply to tanners who grow
corn for me. am also preparing myset this year
to grow some three hund, ed acres, for which the
Cumberland Super-Phosphlte will be the principal
dres ing. But some farmers have used Bradley's
and like IT. and some desire to try both. To accom-
modae such pers ns, and to give any their choice,

berland more largely thau any other purchaser,

think tanners are beng imposed upon in having
spurious and inferior articles urged and almo
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.
