have brought the seed that was sown on it
without Fertilizer, but with the use of it,
raised us good wheat us was in the neigh
borhoOd, and have all excellent stand of
clover and timothy on the land. | also
used two other fertilizers. one of which
acted very finely, and the other without
any evidence that it did amy good. | also
used it beside the Patapsco, that one of NV
neighbours used, and my wheat was equal
to his, OF beter, | think the heads of nv
wheat was the largest, and upon the whole
it acts about as we'll as the best of fertili-
than the cheapest, anG acts very finely.

hereby certify that used half ton of
the Shenandoah Ammoniated Superphos-
phate, last tall, upon One-half of a five acre
lot, near Woodstock Upon the other
half OF the same lot, and rather the be- ter
part OF it in quality of soil, used another
phosphate of high character, in equal
quaOtity. The result has been very saris-
factory, indicating the decided superiority
of The former over the latter. The stand
OF wheat was much better upon the part
Of The lot upon which the former was used
Although the drilling was not good, be-
lieve shall make IS bushels to the are
upon that half of the lot. 1t might have
easily been increased to 20 by proper drill
ling. MOSES WALTON.
