themselves from imposition in the purchase COM
mercial manures, by manufacturing as good an aru-
Gle could be made, by employing the best materi
ais and highest skill. rhe Company engaged the
services of Mr.. GOODALE, well known as an Agri-
cultural Chemist and secretary OF the Maine Board
OF Agriculture who has sole charge OF directing its
manufacture.
One result of their operations was, the production
of superor article that others wanted to share
In its benefits and thus sales began, and they have
increased steadily and rapidly SO as to be more than
ten tunes as gr at In 1865 as they We're In 1865.
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 Euper-PhOsphate
Still 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 isdue to its larg-
per centage soluble phosphoric acid and of
monia; and its greater permanency of action is due
to the presence OF upwards oi five hundred pounds
OF pure raw bone in line powder, added as dryer,
in place of the muck plaster, loan or ether cheap
substances used as dryers in ordinary Super-phos-
phates This alone adds fifteen do lars per ton to its
value and this is much over and above all which
isused to supply soluble rbosphoric acid.
Taking all its constituents and proportions into
view it is deemed to be of double the value of such

about the same price at which the genuine and su-

Testimonials of its efficacy can be seen in large
numbers at the Office of the Company; such as one

Bone Company, desire the error to be corrected.
To explain more fully, let me say that use
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
to grow some three hundred acres, for which the
Cumberland Super-P Phosphate will be the principal
dressing. But some farmers have used Bradley's

spurious and inferior articles urged and aim ost

encouraging farmers who grow corn for me to buy
any other sorts than the two named above, giving
the preference to the Cumberland.
