Dear Sir-You ask how the Super Phosphate which
had of you last spring proved in its use upon my
country place upon the Hudson River
say in reply that my gardener used il on the
lawn, on the piece Of meadow and on the Indian
corn.
Its effect was rapid and wonderful. 1t is far the
cheapest manure of which have any KNOWLEDGE
Yours truly, EDWARDS PfERREPOST.
JOHN MACARTHUR, Esq.,. Augusta, Maine.
Sir-I purchased of you, last spring. eight barrels
of Bradleys Patent Super Phosphate, and applied it
to the cultivation of potatoes five 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 po produced on an equal
quality was decidedly better, being larger and
smoother, and worth at least fifteen to twenty cents
per bushe more than where no Phosphate was used.
In answer to your inquiry whether Phosphate pays
say raised 100 bushels of potatoes this year
for sale and realize rs cents per bushe for them
at Augusta, eight miles from my farm. am conf
dent raised at least 500 bushels more for using $50
worth OF Phosphate and the quality was yery much
better. intend to use at least two and half tons
next year.
Yours, &C., LEONARD W. TAYLOR.
From the Maine Farmer
New Sharon, Me, April II, 1868.
Messrs. Editors-I have used Bradey'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 corn raised with
barn-yard manure in the 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 an increased crop of at least one
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 filled out to the end, was the case
where the Phosphate was applied
PceceoSS
my corn. think no farmer in Maine should raise
corn or potatoes without Bradley's Phosphate, and
so well satisfied that they would be as unwilling as
am to do without it.
Yours respectfully, LUTHER CURTIS.
From Er-Goveraor Cong, Of Maine
Itwas equal to any fertilizer Of its class used
by me, and ! can confidently recommend it as OF
great agricultural utility. Ishall continue to use 1t
quite largely.
Lewiston. Me, Nov 9, 1868.
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 1000 bushels) worth (being noted vare-
ties) 81 per bushe amounting to $1,000 the return
from $50 worth OF Super Phosphate. He thinks
that $500 worth Of stable manure would not have
brought SO large CROP beside the difference in
cost of labor in applying it, Many farmers about here
have 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 that you can and there
will be no lack of.buyers; but to the manutac-
turer who sends out a worthless article.
Yours truly, THOMPSON s. PUTNAM.

W. L. BRADLEY
Dear Sir-I have used your Super Phosphate two
years, with very satisfactory results
In 1857. i used one barrel on corn, and i am
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
left two rows without Phosphate in three differ
ent parts of the field, and found not more than
one-third the quantity produced on six rows with
Phosphate, and they were all tso small to offer for
Your Phosphate also gave me excellent results on
turnips, and all kinds of garden sauce.

corn, tried hog manure, Phosphate, and hen
quality of land. had better corn from the Phos-
