218 AMERICAN MANURES. 



BAUGH AND SONS' RAW BONE SUPER, 

 PHOSPHATE. 



The Superphosphate, from which the sam- 

 ples for analyses were selected, was purchased at 

 the manufacturers' office, Philadelphia. This 

 fertilizer is put up in bags marked 160 Ibs. ; the 

 bag purchased weighed 158 Ibs. The mechani- 

 cal condition of this fertilizer was bad ; it had 

 formed in hard lumps in the bags, requiring con- 

 siderable force to pulverize. 



We make the following quotations from the 

 circulars of the manufacturers, and from the 

 " Journal of the Farm," published also by them : 



1 " That the standard of our Eaw Bone Superphosphate 

 has never been impaired, but that we have constantly sought 

 to improve its value as a permanent Bone Manure by every 

 facility at our command." 



2. " IT is BETTER THAN PERUVIAN GUANO, because it does not 

 over-stimulate the soil. It has less Ammonia than Peruvian, 

 but it has Ammonia enough for all the purposes of a crop, and 

 more Ammonia than this does more harm than good." 



3. "It is -better than any Guano, or mixture of Guanos, or 

 any Superphosphate we are acquainted with, because being 

 made of Bone, it remains active in the soil, and continues to 

 produce crops year after year, which farmers well know is not 

 the case with other quick-acting and easily exhausted Phos- 

 phates." 



4. "It has never been the policy nor aim of the manufactu- 

 rers of Baugh's Eaw Bone Phosphate to push forward their 

 article by any extraordinary means, nor by disparaging any 

 of the other excellent manures and guanos in the American 

 market." Journal of the Farm.
