of the membership of the company, which
could not be supplied without greatly enlarg-
ing their works. The Cumberland Super
phosphate " rapidly acquired wide rcputa-
ton, and now the demand has been extended
over the whole Atlantic sea-board, and far
into the interior. We believe there is not an
instance on record when it has once been in
troduced, that any other manufacture has
been able to displace it, while it is continually
driving other brands from localities where
they seemed to have an assured footing.
These statements, we think, are unqucstion-
able
These works, it is stated unlike most
others, have from the beginning made but
one kind of fertilizer, and that has been the
very best that could be made, having due
regard to practical economy of manufacture
and use No diluting material, or substance
designed to increase bulk or weight ut the
expense of quality, is ever added to it. Its
phosphate constituent is simply pure ground
bone acted upon by sulphuric acid to make
it soluble. To this is added, for the purpose
of affording a larger proportion of ammonia,
dried and ground fish-cake of the best quail
ty. This fish-cakc is largely produced ut the
fish-oil factories that are so numerous along
the coast of Maine. 1t differs much in guam
tity, the best and driest yielding about half
ms much ammonia us the best Peruvian Gu
ano, such rs used to be imported before the
deposits were SO nearly exhausted, and nearly
rs much as the average of that now imported.
Mr.. Goodale's skill rs Il chemist, and his OPP
pOrtunities for inspecting the fish-cake mt the
factories, enables him to secure the pick of
the product, and none but the very best is
taken.
1t is thus plain that the farmers of Maine
are blessed with that great desderatum, n
perfectly reliable, uniform and powerful fer
tlizer. The difficulty of reaching Vermont
by rail from Portland has heretofore prevent
ed the appearance of this fertilizer in our
markets, but with the opening of new routes
now in process of construction the difficulty
will be obviated We learn that, with this
prospect in view, sample lots will soon be
offered in some of our principal towns for
trial. and we would urge those of our read
ers who may have the opportunity to give it a
trial. Prof. Collier, the Secretary of our
Board of Agriculture, has promised us to
furnish our readers during the winter with
analyses of all the leading fertilizers that
seek our markets, and that of the Cumber
land superphosphate will be among them.

of bone divided into million of little cubes,
leach measuring the one-hundredth of an
inch on either side) every one of them
would be more than thousand times larg-
er than the particles us they exist in bone.
Now, because the degree of solubility of
substances difficult of solution is greatly en-
HANGED by being made fine, you can readily
see why | stated that bone thus treated was
nearly us useful Us if made into superphos-
phate.
The next commercial fertilizer which
mention, is
PERUVIAN GUANO.
This, us formerly imported, contained
from Is to II per cent. of ammonia, but lat
terly from ii to IL per cent. The high
price it bears is chiefly due to this content;
for of all the manurial agents which the far
mer has occasion to buy, the dearest is nitro
gen in such form or combination that plants
can appropriate it to their use. Peruvian
guano contains small percentage of pot
ash; also about one half rs much phosphate
rs raw bone; but Us before remarked. its
chief commercial value is due to its nitrogen.
Like other ammoniacal manures, its prin-
cipal use is for grain and grass crops; and
the chief profit from its use is realized upon
lands rich in mineral constituents.
Peruvian guano cannot be continuously
used and crops sold off, without rapid i'm
rich III dormant mineral resoure es. a con
siderable portion of the land in the Southern
States is of this character, and hence the high
repute in which Peruvian guano continues to
be held there.
But to use it with impunityin New England,
1t is nnperdttrety necessary that the bulk of
all which is grown by it should be consumed
upon the farm and returned to the soil in
manure.
For general use among us,it is found that the
proportions !of ammonia and the phosphates
in Peruvian guano, are not those which may
be employed to advantage. There is too
much of the former in proportion to the
amount of the latter.
1t Is found that a manure containing more
phosphate and less ammonia is safer, and bet
ter to use, ard cheaper to buy and this ex-
perience, coupled with the fact that we have
in fish guano, or 'porgy chum," so largely
produced along our coast line, abundant
supplies of manure nearly identical in
character and results, with Peruvian guano,
has caused an almost total abandonment of
its use in this section. 1t Is true that our
fish guano is of less uniform quality and less
concentrated, but its cheapness makes
amends for the difference.
1t is much to be regretted that so large
proportion of the fish refuse is not better
cured so rs to retain the manurial efficacy
which it has while fresh. Within the last
ten years, however, there has been vast
Improvement in this respect, and yet there
is need of IA great deal more. When WeU
drted Immediately upon coming from the press,
fish guano may be deemed TO be one-half us
valuble us Peruvian guano; otherwise one
third to One-tenth.

COMMERCIAL MANUREs.

We give upon our first page n portion Ito
be completed next weekly of paper by Mr..
Goodale, bearing the above title. MIR. G..
(who has been for upwards of fifteen years
the honored and efficient secretary of the
Board of Agriculture of his state,) is emf
nently qualified, both scientifically and prac-
tically, to treat of this important subject in II
way calculated to be useful and instructive
to farmers. A practical cultivator of the
soil himself for many years, he adds to expe-
rence thus acquired strong native talents, an
ardent love OF agriculture, and high scientific
requirements. To receive the instructions
either written or oral, of such man is II
privilege not to be despised, and when we
add the undisputed fact that no man in New
England stands higher in point of personal
character than Mr. Goodale, we think our
readers will have no difficulty IN seeing how
valuable must be his teaching upon subject
to which he has given, and is constantly Civ
ing, so much attention.
In the opening remarks of his paper, Mr.
Goodale alludes, in the frank spirit so char
acteristic of all that he writes and says, to
his connection, rs chemist, with the Portland
Phosphate Works. 1t would be well, per-
haps, for us To speak a little more fully than
he does upon that point.
This mandatory (the corporate title of
which is "'The Cumberland Bone Company,")
had very different origin from most works
of the kind. 1t was not originally designed
rs n commercial enterprise. Around the
city of Portland are many skilled and enter
prisng farmers and gardeners, and one of
their chief crops is sweet corn, grown on an
extensive scale for the purpose of supplying
II number of canning establishments, the Joint
annual sales of which amount to many hun
dreds of tons. This is almost specially of
the locality, and their canned sweet corn is
known all over the world. The process by
which the work is done is original and pecu-
liar, preserving the genuine flavor of the
corn in such a superior way rs to give almost
II monopoly of the market. The farmers
who grow this corn in fields of from ten to
fifty acres, soon found the necessity for addi-
tional fertilizers, more than they could pro-
duce upon their farms, it being essential in
this business to produce the very best corn !;
full, long and perfect ears alone being de-
sired at the factories. Hence corn-growing
is IL science with them, and us science it
soon became evident to them that some pow
erful ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS manure, such us
corn requires, should be applied to their
land every year.
They found that which in the market pur-
ported to be such to be very unreliable, and
applying to Mr.. Goodale, received the advice
to which he alludes, namely, that they should
make their own superphosphatc. This they
finally determined to be necessity for them,
and they called upon Mr.. Goodale for his
assistance. The resulting product was so
vastly superior to the common article, and
its effects We're so conspicuous in their crops,
that 4 demand Immediately +pr,ng up outside
