JOHN MACARTHUR, Esq, Augusta, Maine.
Sir-I purchased of you, last spring, eight barrels
of Bradley's Patent Super Phosphate and applied it
to the cultivation of potatoes i've and half
Of old worn out land, with no other manure. The
result was TWO hundred bushels to the acre, being
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 SALE and realize rs per bushel for them
at Augusta, eight miles from my farm. am conf

New Sharon, Me, April II, 1868.
Messrs Edtors-I have used Bradley's Super
Phosphate of Lime corn and potatoes for several
years past, to my entire satisfaction. Last year 1
too particular notice of the grown where used
his Super Phosphate compared with corn raised with
barn-yard manure in the same field, and found the
ears raise on the rows where Bradley's Phosphate
applied were 1-2 inches longer, and filed out
to the end, with an increased crop of at least
third, and OF much better quality, The corn grewn
on the rows where barn-yard manure was used was
two weeks later, with considerable soft corn, and
none OF the ears filled out to the end as was the case
where the Phosphate was applied.
On potatoes it acted equally well as it did on
my corn. 1 think no farmer in Maine should raise
am sure if they viii once give it trial thew win be
well satisfied that they would be as unwilling as
am to do without it,.
Yours respectfully, LUTHER CURTIS.

Dear Sir-Moses h. Hussey, ESQ.,, of North Ber-
WICK raised this 1900 bushels of potatoes us
ing your Super Phosphate of Lime for a fertilizer.
He says the Phosphate made difference in his crops
of one half $500 bushels) worth (beng noted varie-
from $50 worth Of super Phosphate. IS He de- thinks
that $500 worth Of stable manure would not have
brought so large crop, beside the vast difference in
cost OF labor 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
is, make the best Phosphate that you cam and there
will be no lack of buyers; but woe to the manufac-
turer who sends out Worthless article.
