TO THE FARMERS OF THE SOUTH. 



An effort has been made to place in your hands a pamphlet 

 containing useful knowledge. No originality is claimed as we 

 have been largely indebted for our facts, and figures to several 

 notable works on agricultural chemistry. In some instances 

 the text has been copied, and in others re-written. Among those 

 books chiefly used, are American Manures, and Johnson, Sibson 

 and Morfit's publications. 



It has been written for the use of the customers of the Etiwan 

 Company, and in intended to convey to them practical hints as 

 to the use of our Fertilizers. 



1 am indebted to a farmer friend for the introductory chapter, 

 and for the article prescribing the proportion of composted fer- 

 tilizers to be used on different grades of land. 



It is hoped that you will, in the course of this year, supply 

 us with practical information, so as to enable us to revise and 

 republish an improved edition next year.
