VIM l.. BRADLEY, Esq,
SRI planted about six acres with corn last
spring, and used your Phosphate in the hill as
recommended, getting ON about one barrel Phos-
phate TO the acre. Between each acre / left four
rows through the field on which l applied no
Phosphate, but On two of each tour used plaster
and ashes mixed. There was no other manure
used on the field. The result of this pertinent
got noised about while the corn was growing, and
should cay that one hundred people came to
look at Il, many remarking that it really beat
the stories they had heard OFF 1 carefully meas
ured the corn from each four rows without Phos
phate, and then from four of the rows rgh.
alongside which had received the Phosph tte
The four rows without Phosphate measured on
the number of vi mean
ured twelve bushels of ears. The plaster and
ashes did very little good that l could discover.
The yield on the whole six acres was 566 bushels
OF good sound corn. Where there was no Phos-
phate used, much ofthe corn was soft | plant
ed the corn in hills only feet apart, which was
too thick for such growth, as IL was a perfect
swamp. l never saw the like for corn BY care
full estimate l found that $50 worth OF your
Phosphate made me something over an increase
OF l2o bushels of shelled corn.

Dear Sir Last spring planted four acres OF
poor land which had not been manured for IL
years. with corn. using one barrel of your Phos-
phate To the acre IN the hull.
After the corn was up l applied plaster round
the hills and at second hoeing spread ashes
about the hills also. but used no other manure at
all on the land. The yield of corn per acre was
40 bushels of shelled corn, which consider very
large from such land, which certainly very
poor before the Phosphate applied l sold
about 20 tons of Bradley's Phosphate here last
spring and it has given very general sat i.faction
Very truly yours,

MIR. WIN. l.. BRADLEY,
Dear SRI have an old clay soil meadow, of
about three acres and three years ago / began
experimenting on it with your Phosphate, by top
dressing, with about one half barrel Of the Phos-
phate to the acre. Before the Phosphate was
y ton hay to the acre. applied about the same
amount of Phosphate each season, sowing it ear |
ly in the spring. The yield of hay has steadily |
increased each year, both in quantity and quality
since began the treatment with Phosphate, and
this summer l cut fully two tons of hay to the |
acre, of far better quality than that grown on |
the same land in its former impoverished condi- |
ton. l think that this land is now what would |
be called rich meadow; whereas three years |
since it would hardly pay for moving. think |
hay grown on land MANFRED with Phosphate il |
worth at least three dollars per ton more than
that grown on ordinary land, without Phosphate |
and certainly would make that difference in |
purchasing to feed my own stock. raised q fine |
crop of potatoes on the Phosphate this season,
dhu ocAeNc ~ an cXceutuI m9uuIc IOr tnAt, ana
indeed all other crops.
Very truly, &c,
II. A. SHELDON.
Let it be remembered that Phosphate when
applied as a top-dressing on Meadow or Pasture
land should be used early in the spring.
