ANALYSES. 235 



most arduous researches have not been able to get from her, 

 except by degrees ; as fresh discoveries come to light, I will 

 make every effort to take advantage of them in improving the 

 * Complete Manure,' while farmers can at all times rely upon 

 receiving ' THE WORTH OF THEIR MONEY ' when purchasing it." 



After the above, a brief breathing pause should 

 be allowed to our readers. Such an extensive 

 knowledge of Chemistry, as applied to Agricul- 

 ture, should enable Mr. Bower to produce a 

 " Complete Manure." But if our readers will 

 compare these remarks of Mr. Bower with our 

 analyses of his " Complete Manure," the ap- 

 plication of the Fable of the mountain in labor ? 

 when " nascitur ridiculus mus " (a miserable 

 mouse was brought forth), will be appreciated. 



TESTIMONIALS. 



No. 1. " MESSRS. BOOTH & GARRETT, of Philadelphia, Chemists 

 of high respectability, say, in speaking of the ' Complete Ma- 

 nure,' in a note to Messrs. Dixon, Sharpless & Co., dealers in 

 fertilizers : 



" The constitution of the above indicates a decided advance 

 in the composition of a fertilizer, by the introduction of a con- 

 siderable percentage of Potassa, and countenances the claim in- 

 volved in the name ' Complete Manure.' " 



No. 2. " The report upon the ' Complete ManureY made by 

 Messrs. Williams & Moss, of Philadelphia, Chemists of large 

 experience in the analysis of fertilizers, says : 



" We find from an analysis of your ' Complete Manure/ that 

 the name you have given it is certainly warranted by its 

 chemical composition ; in addition to thus cordially recommend- 

 ing your fertilizer from a chemical stand point, we should state 

 that its mechanical condition is most excellent, being such as to 

 admit of its use in the drill without further preparation."
