cumberland phosphate
THE CUMBERLAND BONE COMPANY is an
4 association Of practc farmers. who oiganized
themselves from Imposition in the purchase O COM
merclal manures, by manufacturing good an ard
ais and highest skill. he ompany ENGAGED t, e
services of Mr.. GUODALE, well knew n as an Ari-
cultural Chemist, aud secretary OF the Maine Board
manufacture.
One result of their operations was, the production
of super or article tina, others wanted to share
in its Benefits and thus sales began and they have
increased steadily and RAPIDLY, SO tobe more than
ten times as gr a. In 1865 as they were In 1865.
Another result has bt zen that. other manufacturers
who wanted 10 sell their manures in Maine, were
compelled to improve the quality Of their goods, so
as to make some approach to the high standard thus
established; but the
Cumberland Euper-PhOsphate
Still maintains
MOST DECIDED SUPERIORITY,
Which is manifest both in
Larger Results and in Greater Perma-
nency of Effects.
Its superior efficacy the first wear due to its larg-
per centage soluble phosphoric acid and of
monia; and its Preae permanency of action is due
10 the presence of upwards Of five hundred pounds
OF pure raw bone in line powder, added as dryer,
in place of the muck. plaster, loan or ether cheap
substances uset! as dryers In ordinary Super-phos-
plates This alone adds fifteen do lars per ton 10 its
value, and thi is so much over and above all which
isused to supply soluble pbosphorc acid.
Taking all its constituents and proportions into
view it is deemed to be OF double the value of such
as are made from mineral phosphates OF the So
called South Carolina Copaoiites or fossil phos-
pilates, and which are urged upon our farmers at
about the same price at which the genuine and su.
perior article made by the Cumberland Bone Com
any Is sold
Testimonials Of its efficacy can be seen in large
numbers al the office OF the Company; such rs one

weeks later. Those grown on the Cumberland Bone
Company,s super-phosphate, brought one dollar
Some dealers refuse to sell the Cumberland Su-
per-phosphate, and decry its me its because they
can make larger profits on articles which they can
buy at lower price, and which cost great deal
less to manufacture, and thu furnish o large mar
gin to pay for costly advertising and pulling, and
the acors OF pausib agents to push of their wares
but all are not thus deceived nor willing to deceive
others, consequently it Is
