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 it on the
lawn, on the piece OF meadow and on the Indian

chespest manure OF which have any knowledge.

JOHN McARTHUR, E>q. Augusta, Maine
Sir-I purchased of you, last spring, eight barrels
of Bradleys Patent Super Phosphate and applied it
the cultivation of potatoes and half
of old worn out land, with no other manure. The
result was ,wo hundred bushels to the acre being
fully double the guar tity prodoced on an equal
quality was decidedly better, being larger and
smoother, and worth at least fifteen to twenty cents
per bushe mere than where Phospha- was used.
In answer to your inquiry whether Phosphate pays
say raised 90 bushels OF potatoes this year
fer sale and realize Is per bushel for them
dent raised at least 500 tushes more for using $50
worth OF Phosphate, and the quality was very 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. Edit0rs-I have used BrGdley's Super
Phosphate OF Lime corn 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 on the rows where Bradey's Phosphate
applied were I-2 inches longer, and filed out
to the end, with an increased crop OF at least one
third, and o. much better quality 1he corn erewn
on the rows where barn-yal d manure wac used was
none OF the ears filed out 10 the end as was the case
where the Phosphate was applied.
On potatoes it acted equally as well as it did on
my c)rn. think no farmer i'll Maine should raise
corn or potatoes without bradIey's Phosphate, and
am sure if they will once give it trial thev will be
SO well satisfied that they would be as unwilling as
am to do without it.
Yours respectfully, LUTHER CURTIS.
From Er-GouerRor Cony, Of Maine.

Dear sir-Moses H. Hussev, ESQ.,, OF North Ber-
wick raised this 100 bushels of potatoes US
ing your Super Phosphate of Lime for Tel tilizer.
He says the Phosphate made diffe in his ops
tes 50 per bushei, amounting to 1920 the return
from SO 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 IT. Many fa mers bout heIe
have to the same conclusion and il the stand
ard OF yeur Phosphate is pit up, the consumption
will increase beyond calculation. Our advice to you
is make the best Phosphate that you can and there
will be no ack of buyers; but woe to the manutac-
Yours truly, THOMPSON & PUTNAM.
ALBION, Me-, Oct. 9, 1868.
Dear Sir-I have used your Super Phosphate two
years, with very satisfactory results.
In 1857. used one barrel on corn, and I am
confident the crop increased by it, at least two
thirds.
This year used nearly 400 lbs. on one and one
alb potatoes beside eight barrels Of smaller ones.

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