Dear sr-You ask how the Super Phosphate which
had of you last spring proved in its use upon my
country place upon the Hudson River,
1 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 far the
cheapest manure OF which have any knowledge.

New Sharon, Me- April IT, 1868.
Messrs. Editors-I have used Bradley's Super
Phosphate of Lime and potatoes for several
years past, to my entire satisfaction. Last year
too particular notice of the grown where used
his Super Phosphate, compared with corn raised will
barn-yard manure in the same field, and found the
raise ON the rows where sBradey's Phosphate
applied were 12 inches longer, and filed ou
to the end, with increased crop of at least one
third, and OF much better quality, Ihe corn grewr
| on the rows where barn-yard manure was used was
two weeks later, with considerable soft corn, anC
OF the filled to the end, the case
where the Phosphate was applied.
On potatoes it acted equally as well as it did OF
my corn. think no farmer in Maine should raist
corn or potatoes without Bradey's Phosphate, and
am sure if they viii once give 1t trial thev will bt
am to do without it.

Dear Sir-Moses H. Hussev, ESQ.,, of North Ber-
wick raised this 1900 bushels of potatoes
ing your Super Phosphate of Lime for fertilizer
He says the Phosphate made difference in his ops
of one half 1000 bushes) worth being noted varie-
ties per bushe amounting to 1920 as 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 vast difference in
cost of labor in applying 1T Many farmers about here
have come to the same conclusion and il 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 worthless article.
Yours truly, THOMPSON & 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 was increased by it, at least
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
l 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 too small to offer tor
sale.
Your Phosphate also gave me excellent results on
turniDS. and all kinds of garden sauce.
Yours truly JOHN BURRlLL.

Dear Sir--The Super-Phosphate 1 bought of you
piled about 250 pounds per around my corn at
hoeing. l used 1t on twenty rows, and left four
without.
Within a few days the corn treated with your Su-

earlier than the other. I,have great faith in it

Dear SRI have used several kinds of Super
Phosphate, and consider yours the best fertilizer
now in use have tried it on sweet corn, and
found it very useful in driving the corn ahead early
in the spring, and giving me large crop. There is
no mistake but what yours is the best in the

Dear Sir-Having used your Super Phosphate sew
eral years with good success, purchased half a ton
last spring for corn and potatoes. When planting
corn, L tried hog manure, Phosphate, and hen ma
nurc, each separately, on the same quantity and
quality OF land. had better corn from the Phos-
| phate than ON either the other manures have
mentioned.
The result on potatoes was equally satiactory
and estimating both crops at market prices here the
half ton of your Phosphate has paid me one hundred
and fifty dollars, which consider a~good invest
ment / shall use more in future than have in
