Messrs. Editors-I have used Brt.diey's Super
Phosphate OF Lime on corn and potatoes for several
years pasr, to my entire satisfaction. Last year
his Super Phosphate compared with corn rased with
barn-yard manure in tho same field, and found the
ears raise on the rows where Bradley's Phosphate
was applied were 1-2 inches longer, and filed out
to the end, with increased crop OF at least one
third, and OF much better quality, The corn erewn
on the rows where barn-yai manure was used was
two weeks later, with considerable soft corr, and
OF the filed out TO the end was the case
On potatoes it acted equally as well as t did ON
my corn. think no farmer in Maine should raise

well satisfied that they would be unwilling as
am to do without 1t.
