WM. l.. BRADLEY, ESQ,
SRI planted about six acres with corn last
spring and used your Phosphate in the hull as
recommended, getting on about one barrel Phos-
phate % the acre. Between each acre left four
lows through the field which | appli.d no
Phosphate, but on two of each four | used plaster
and ashes mixed. There was no other manure
used on the field. The result of this experiment
got noIsed about while the corn growing. and
| should say that one hundred people came TO
look at II, MANY remarRing that it really beat
the stor les they had heard of carefully meas
" cd the corn from each tour rows without Phos-
phate, and then from four. Of the rows right
alongside which had received the Phosph ate
The four without Phosphate measured on
an average seven bushels IF ears of corn. And
the same number of rows with Phosphate meas
ured twelve bushels of ears. The plaster and
ashes DID very little good that could discover.
The yield on The whoe SIX acr.s was 500 bushels
OF good sound corn. Where there was no Phos-
hate used, much ofthe corn was soft. L pant
Ell the corn IN hulS ouly ie-t apart which was
too thick for such growth, as If was a r-ri~ot
swamp. l never saw the IKE for corn By care
tul estImafe l found hat $50 worth OF your
Pho phate made me some thing over an increase
of 10 bushels OF sheli,l corn

Dear sir:-Last spring planted four acres of
poor land which had not been MANFRED tor 10
years with corn, using one barrel OF your Phos-
phate To the acre In the hill.
After the corn was up applied plaster round
the hils-and at second hoelng L spread ashes
about the hill also, but used no other manure at
all on the land. The yield of corn pr acre was
40 bushels OF shelled corn, which / consider very
large from such land, which certainly very
poor before the Phi 'sphate was applied l sold
about 20 tons OF Bradley's Phosphate here last
spring, audit has given very general sat ,faction.
Very truly you're,

Dear Sir!-I ha,e an old clay soil meadow of
about thee acres and three years ago [ b-ean
experimenting on il with your Phosph .te by top
dreeipg, with about one half barrel of the Phos-
phate to the acre. Be ore the Phosphate was
applied the meadow produced reIula,,,y about
4 ton hay to the acre | applied n.,out the same
amount Of Phosphate each se..- on, sowing it ear
~ IN the spring The sield of hav has steadily
increased each year both in quantity and quality
since hegtn the treatment with Phosphate, and
TINS summer 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-
tlon think that this land is now what would
be called rich meadow: whereas three wear.
SINCE 1t would h.rdly pay for moving. / think
nay grown on land manured with Phosphate If
worth at least three dollars per ton more than
thai grown on ordinary land. without Phosphate
and certainly would make that difference in
crop of potatoes on the Phosphate this ssason.
and believe it an excellent manure for that and
indeed all other crops.
Very truly, &c,
II. a. SHELDON.
Let 1t be remembered THAI Phosphate when
applied as a top-dressing ON Meadow or Pasture
land should be used early in the spring
