From Judge Pierrepont.

Dear sir-You ask how the Super Phosphate which
had OF you last spring proved in its use upon INV
country place upon the Hudson River.
say in reply that my gardener used it on the
lawn, on the piece OF meadow and on the Indian
corn.
Its effect was rapid and wonderful. 1t is tar the
cheapest manure of which have any knowledge
Yours truly, EDWARDS PIERREPONT

JOHN MACARTHUR, Esq, Augusta, Maine.
Sir-I purchased of you last spring, eight barrels
OF Bradey's Patent Super Phosphate and apnIied if
to the cultivation of potatoes on i've and half acres
of old worn out land, with no other manure The
result was TWO hundred bushels to the acre being
fully double the quantity produced on an equal
amount OF newer land without Phosphate. ana 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 paws
can say raised 400 bushels OF potatoes this year
for SALE and realize Is cents per bushel for them
at Augusta, eight miles from my farm. am conf
dent raised at least 800 bushels for using $50
better. intend to use at least two and half tons
next year.
From the Maine Farmer.
New Sharon, Me, April II, 1868.
Messrs. Editors-I have used Bradley's Super
Phosphate OF Lime on 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
barn-yard manure in the same field, and found the
ears raise 4 on the rows where Bradleys Phosphate
applied were 1-2 inches longer, and filed out
to the end with an increased crop of at least one
third, and OF much better quality, Ihe corn erewn
on the rows where barn-yaId manure was used
two weeks later, with considerable soft corn, and
OF the filled to the end, as was the case
where the Phosphate was applied.
On potatoes it acted equally as well as t did on
my corn. L think no farmer in Maine should raise
corn or potatoes without bradiey's Phosphate, and
SO well satisfied that they would be as unwilling as
am to do without it.
Yours respectfully, LUTHER CURTIS.
From En- Governor Conn of Milne
twas equal to any fertilizer Of its class used
by me, and l can confidently recommend it as of
great agricultural utility. shall continue to use it
quite largely.
Lewiston. Me, Nov 9, 1868.
Dear Sir-Moses II. Hussey, ESQ.,, of North Ber-
wick raised this season 1900 bushels of potatoes
ing your Super Phosphate of Lime for fertilizer.
He says the Phosphate made difference in his ops
of one half 600 bushels) worth (beng noted varie-
ties) 50 bushe, amounting to $1,000 thereturn
from $50 worth of Super Phosphate. He thinks
that $500 worth of stable manure would not have
brought large CROP beside the difference in
cost OF labor in applying it. Many farmers about here
have come to the same conclusion, and ii the stand
ard OF yeur Phosphate is kept up, the consumption
will increase beyond calculation Our advice to you
is make the best Phosphate thatyou can, and there
will be no lack of buyers; but woe to the manutac
turer who sends out worthless article.
Yours truly, THOMPSON s. PUTNAM.
ALBION, Me-, Oct. 9, 1868.
Dear Sir-I have used your Super Phosphate two
years, with very satisfactory results.
In 1867. used one barrel on corn, and / am
confident the crop increased by it, at least two
thirds.
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.
ent parts of the field, and / found not more than
one-third the quantity produced on six rows with
Phosphate, and they were all too small to offer tor
Your Phosphate also gave excellent results ON
turnips, and all kinds of garden sauce.
