To manure an acre highly, it requires 12 to 15 barrels or 36 to 45 bushels spread broadcast. Ap plied in hills, one half of this quantity will suffice. Its application is simple and easy, and printed instructions for its use will accompany every parcel sent to order. We desire it to be remembered, that our manure has no similarity to another, known under the name of Poudrette," although the principal component of ours (the Fecal matter) is the same as that which is used in poudrette in a much less proportion; our auxiliary substances, as well as our manufacturing process, are altogether of a different nature and kind. It belongs not to us to eulogize further the quality of our manure, what we desire at present is, to call upon the members of the agricultural community to try it! and we have reasons to assure them, that they will find it the most profitable manure they ever used. Price, taken at the Factory: 37 cents per bushel, without package; 50 cents per bushel, packed in barrels; or, $1.50 per barrel, package included. Orders addressed to the above company at this office, 72 Greenwich-st., New York, will be promptly attended to. By order of the Board of Directors, GEORGE BOMMER, Director. New York, January, 1849. The Factory will be in full operation early in the spring, and manure can be had in April next, and at any time afterwards Feb. 1-tf. ENCING-FENCING.-The undersigned is now prepar Fed to furnish the entire apparatus, or any part of the chinery, exhibited in operation at the late Fairs of the Maryland Institute, and the State Agricultural Exhibition, for the manufacture of the new, beautiful and highly economical kind of fencing, figured and described in the August No. of this journal, for 1847-together with the Patent Right for any of the counties of this State, upon reasonable terms, to such as desire, except those of Frederick, Washington, Carroll, Montgomery, Prince George's, Baltimore and Kent-also, for the entire territory of Virginia, or any part of it-likewise for any of the Southern States except Kentucky-See the reports of committees published in the late December No. of the American Farmer. C. COLEMAN. Mt. Pleasant, Frederick county, Md., Feb. 1849. lt-mh.1. PLOUGHS! PLOUGHS!! Circular to the Farmers of Maryland. Y Manure, manufactured in Baltimore, known as CHAPPELL'S FERTILIZER, OR AGRICULTURAL SALTS. This article is composed of the same materials as are found by analysis in the ash of plants. It consists of a mixture (in proper proportions) of Bi Phosphate of Lime, and Magnesia (or bones dissolved in sulphuric acid,) Sulphates of Am monia, Potash, Soda, and Lime, Animal Charcoal, Silicates of Potash, Alumina and Magnesia, and, as these constituents indicate, is intended to restore to the soil, all the inorganic materials abstracted by vegeta. tion. It has been ascertained that a soil containing a sufficient quantity of these salts, is always fertile; and their absence constitutes what is called "Worn-out Land." The analysis of rich soils show a good supply, and poor land a deficiency. OUR attention is called to a new article of The inorganic matter abstracted from the soil by the growth of different crops is the same, varying only in proportion, it is therefore evident that if we supply to the soil a sufficient quantity of each material thus abstracted, we restore its fertility. The correctness of the above, has been fully sustained by the use of the agricultural salts, the last season. It has been used on poor land, and 25 to 28 bushels of wheat obtained, with a superior crop of clover. As a top dressing on wheat, 8 bushels additional has been realized. On the spring crops, of corn, oats and clover, the yield has been doubled.It has been used on the same field, (as an experiment) with the best Peruvian Guano both on corn and oats, and the yield has resulted in favor of the Fertilizer. The most respectable reference can be given of its value and effects on poor land. This article having been used with such favorable results, the manufacturer now offers it to agriculturists with the full confidence that it will largely repay for the outlay, and that it is the cheapest manure they can use. On very poor land 2 barrels to the acre should be applied, on that in better condition, one, to one and a half barrels. It is calculated in using two barrels you supply to the soil sufficient salts for a rotationas a top dressing, one barrel put on after a rain, or when the land is wet, and in all cases near the surface and not ploughed in, broadcast and harrowed when practicable. The Ammonia in this prepara tion is a Sulphate, and therefore not volatile as in Guano, the Bi Phosphates being soluble,- the rain dissolves them, and they thus saturate the soil with prepared food, ready for the nourishment of the plant; being rich in Sulphates, they are powerful absorbents of ammonia from the atmosphere. The subscriber is manufacturing Ploughs of various patterns and of different sizes; also Wheat Fans, Cylindrical Straw Cut ters, Corn and Tobacco Cultivators, CORN SHELLERS, &c.
