country place upon the Hudson River.

| JOHN MACARTHUR, Esq, Augusta, Maine
Sir-I purchased of you, last spring. eight barrels
Of Bradleys Patent Super Phosphate and applied il
to the cultivation of potatoes On 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 twenty cents
per bushel more than where no Phosphate was used.
In answer to your inquiry whether Phosphate pays
can say raised 17O0 bushels OF potatoes this year
for sale, and realize IS per bushel for them
at Augusta, eight miles from my farm. l am eonf-
dent raised at least 800 bushels for using $50
worth OF Phosphate, and the quality was very much
better intend to use at least two and half tons

From the Maine Farmer
New Sharon, Me, April II, 1868.
Messrs. Edit0rs-I have used Bradley's Super
Phosphate OF Lime and potatoes for several
years past, to my entire satisfaction. Last year 1
too particular notice Of the grown where used
his Super Phosphate compared with corn raised with
barn-yard manure in the same field, and found the
raise on the rows where Bradley's Phosphate
applied were ~ inches longer, and filed out
to the end, with an increased crop OF at least
| third, and OF much better quaty The corn grown
| ON the rows where barn-yard manure was used was
two weeks later, with considerable soft corn, and
none OF the ears filled out to the end as was the case
where the Phosphate was applied
On potatoes It acted equally well as II did on
| my corn. think no farmer IN Maine should raise
am sure IL they will give trial thew will be
so well satisfied that they would be unwilling as
am to do without 1t.
| Yours respectfully, LUTHER CURTIS.

ALBION, Me- Oct. Q, 1858.
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.
left two rows without Phosphate in three diner
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
sale. r4Il
Your Phosphate also gave me excellent results on
turnips, and all kinds OF garden sauce.

VIM. L. BRADLEY,
Dear Sir-Having used your Super-Phosphate sew
eral years with good success, purchased iaif ton
lasC spring for corn and potatoes. When planting
corn, tried hog manure, Phosphate, and hen ma
nurc, each separately, ON the same quantity and
quality OF land. had better corn from the Phos-
plate than f. ON either the other manures 1 have
mentioned.
The result potatoes was equally satisfactory,
and estimating both crops at market prices here the
half ton of your Phosphate has paid hundred
and fifty dollars, which 1 consider good invest
ment. / shall use more in future than have in
the past. Yours truly,
