amount OF tertlllzlng matter equal to that
which would be produced by the utilization
of the solid and fluid excavations of q fami-
" offve persons during one week, has been
freely sold in England and America for
$3.50 cts per barrel, the farmers and others
have considered that its effects have more
than repaid the money spent on it.
The value OF the products from a family
of five persons can be safely placed at
$50 Or. annum, according to reliable csti-
mates, and there is not the least doubt that
$40 pr. individual, annually, is a fair basis
on which to estimate the value of that
which, as now disposed of, is more than
wasted, for this most valuable material for
fertilization is so managed that it not only
fails to enrich US, but actually robs US of
that which is of much more value thal
wealth-our health and strength.
The object of this Company is to intro
duce the use of the Prepared Dry Earth
SYSTEM" it being perfectly adaptable to
domestic requirements, and all due arrange
ments will be made by said Company for
the periodical removal of the night soil and
all other town refuse. For outdoor
closets, nothing but receptacles packed
with absorbent materials are requisite,
which will be furnished by the Company,
guaranteeing that not the slightest care or
attention on the part Of the houSeholders,
or their servants, will be required for their
efficient operation, as the hygienic or SAM
tary effect will take place independently
of any external action on the part Of the
visitor it will be simply necessary to use
the closet-that is all.
For indoor closets, commodes and otto
mans, which will be brought here by the
Company for sale, a dry powder distributor
will be so arranged that the surface of the
OBJECTIONS will be entirely covered and de-
odorized said powder will be furnished
by the Company, and through this process
the removal ofall night-soil and other town
refuse will be effected free Of Offensiveness
and will give a better commercial result
than the old System which has hitherto
been a considerable annual loss; this
method offers a simple, cheap, easily adap-
table and profitable means for obviating
one of the chief difficulties of municipal
and other local authorities, as the removal
of our town refuse, especially eXcrotal
matter, is a source of embarrassment and
difficulty to said authorities it is a costly
and extremely offensive proceeding for the
community little creditabIe to the sanitary
spirit of the age.
Therefore the intentions of this Company
ought to be seriously considered by all
householders and proprietorS, as what
ever the real merit of the system may be,
the small cost involved in its adoption and
the short time required for bringing it into
general use, should asSuredly encourage
our local authorities to join in the support
of this enterprise and to cause them to re-
gard it as a means of escape from the exist
ing dilemma.
Actual experience in the different parts
of the world has demonstrated that under
the "Prepared Dry Earth SYSTEM the
cost of removal does not equal that of the
present barbarous System, while the net
returns are largely in excess This arises
from the superior quality of the manure
produced, and the utilization of the
contents of the dust-tin, the fine and
coarse ash, rags, saw-dust, earth, clay,
mari, animal and vegetable refuse etc. etc,
being all utilized, each article swelling the
net revenue, By these means our muni-
cipal authorities can secure through CO.
operation with the Company both a SAM
tarv and commercial benefit for their con-
stituents.
This process ought to be of special va
