Gentlemeu:-Ihe Alkaline Phosphate pur-
chased of JOu last fall, manufactured by the
Patapsco Guano Co., was used on q river bottom,
So hounds to- the acre, and the yield was 20 BUSH
els per acre. ! had the same field in wheat IN
1879, without commercial fertilizers, but applied
lien manure, Blruyard manure and Plaster; the
yield for that year was bushels per acre. l
therefore conclude, that the Alkali2e Phosphate
has paid for itself several timcs-bc5ldes have

Gentlemen:-I have just finished threshing my
wheat and find the yield TO be beyond nay expec-
tatlOns I applied the Dissolved Bone Phosphate,
manufactured by the Patlusco Guano Co.-and
purchased Of y0u-On acre lot, atthe rate OF
POO pounds to the acre, and realized 10 bushels
from the same, an average OF 80 bushels per acre.
The Grange Mixture yielded me II bushels per
acre. on very thin land, I used it beside other
standard Fertilizers costing more money, and
uuhesitatingly pronounce the yield equal IL quail
Is aud quantity 10 the higher priced goods. 1 am
highly pleased with the result Of your Phosphates
and oxpec. to use them again THIS tlA. ...,

the results derived from the Dissolved Bone PhOs-
phate purchased Of yOu last fal, manuiactured by
the patapscO GugnO CO. ] cannot be exact, not
having throshed my wheat. l used It on corn
ground 40 pounds per acre. and think the yield
will be from l. % IL bushels per acre while IN
the same character Of land (s;u5b.e), used 200
pounds of another Fertilizer, same cost, t. which
added 81 pounds Of hen manure, and feel sure
will not make on the latter mere than bushels
Der acre | used another grade Fertilizer, 200
pounds per acre, with 81 pounds hen manure,
which l think will make II bushels per acre,
leaving the Dissolved Bone Phosphate lar ahead
in results. Yours truly, JNO.W. COPP.
