had of you last spring proved In its use upon INV

Sir-I purchased OF you, last spring. eight barrels
of Bradleys Patent Super Phosphate and applied it
to the cultivation of potatoes on five and half
result was two hundred bushels to the acre. being
fully double the quantity produced on an equal
amount OF newer land without Phosphate, and the
quality was decidedly better, being larger and
smoother, and worth at least fifteen to twenty cents
per bushel more than where no Phosphate was used.
In answer to your inquiry whether Phosphate pays
for sae and realize Is cents per bushel for them
at Augusta, eight miles from my farm. i am conf

better. intend to use at least two and half tons
next year.

Messrs. Editors-I haveused Bradley's Super
Phosphate OF Lime corn and potatoes for several
years past, to my entire satisfaction Last year
too particular notice of the corn grown where used
his Super Phosphate compared with raised with
raise on the rows where Bradley's Phosphate
was applied were 12 inches longer and allied out
to the end with an increased crop OF at least one
third, and OF much better quality. The corn grewn
on the rows where barn-y yard manure was used was
two weeks later, with considerable soft corn, and
none OF the filled out the end as was the case
where the Phosphate was applied.
On potatoes it acted equally as well as it did on
my corn. think farmer in Maine should raise
corn or potatoes without Bradley's Phosphate, and
am sure If they win once give 1t trial thew will be
SO well that they would be as unwilling as
am to do withoutit.

Dear Sir Moses H. Hussey, Esq, of North Ber-
wick raised this season 1900 bushels of potatoes
He says the Phosphate made difference in his crops
of one half $500 bushes) worth (being noted vare-
ies) 81 per bushe amounting to $1,000 the return
from $50 worth of Super Phosephate. He thinks
that $500 worth of stable manure would not have
brought SO large crop, beside the vast difference in
cost ofabor in applying it, Many farmers about here
have come to the same conclusion and if the stand
ard OF yeur Phosphate is kept up, the consumption
viii increase beyond calculation. Our advice to you
will be no lack of buyers; but to the manutac-
turer who sends out worthless article. rss45

Dear Sir-I have used your Super Phosphate two

confident the crop was increased by it, at least two
thirds. 49, >
This year used nearly 400 lbs. on one and one
half acres and raised 220 bushels of good merchant
able potatoes, beside eight barrels Of smaller ones
lett two rows without Phosphate in three differ
ent parts OF the field, and found not more than
one-third the quantity produced six rows with
Phosphate, and they were all too small to offer tor
Your Phosphate also gave me excellent results on
turnips, and all kinds Of garden sauce.

VIM. L. BRADLEY,
Dear Sir-Having used your Super-Phosphate sew
eral years with good success, purchased half ton
last spring for corn and potatoes. When planting
corn, tried hog manure, Phosphate, and hen MAJ
nurc, each separately, on the same quantity and
quality OF land. had better corn from the Phos-
phate than f.om either the other manures have
mentioned. H9tEiG4
The result on potatoes was equally satifactory,
and estimating both crops at market prices here the
half ton of your Phosphate has paid me one hundred
and fifty dollars, which / consider good invest
ment. shall use more in future than have in
the past. Yours truly,
