BUrface ofthe ground. 



Where the land retains water during the winter, 

 urate must be used only in the spring, in order that 

 its salts may not be absorbed in too large a quan- 

 tity of water. 



Where the land is dry or does not retain water 

 during the winter, urate may be used in the autumn 



it; however, the sowing takes place shortly before 



the hard frosts, it is better to use urate only in the 

 beginning of spring. 



As a general rule, more urate is required upon 



ty ofleeding upon or consuming it. Experience 

 has proved, this year, that where there was a mod- 

 erate application of lime, or barnyard manure ap- 

 plied to the land in broad cast, it did not appear to 

 affect the influence of the poudrette on the crop. 



The quantity of poudrette must vary from 15 to 

 3.5 bushels per acre according to the quality of the 

 land, and the ciop cultivated : less than l.") bushels 

 to the acre may not bo very satisfactory, and more 

 than 3.5 is useless.

Urate and poudrette are light substances, and 



than in the spring ; if used in the spring, it is bet- 

 , ter to apply the urate in a damp day, or immediate- 

 ly after a heavy rain, if it cannot be applied shortly 

 before the rain, as it is a light substance, liable to 

 be blown from off' the land by high winds. 



TH—.. is a '"«at advantage in soaking corn, oats, 

 ...nd a.'i other gmiu for iwcive hours only, in a solu- 

 tion o! urate, prepared as above directed, before 

 planting or sowing it, and then rolled in lime or 

 plastet. the corn or grain will start sooner, be stron- 

 ger, and less liable to attack by worms or birds : 

 but caie should be taken not to suffer it to remain 

 lonjier'than about twelve hours in the solution, else 

 you mi^t destroy the germinating quality of the 



grain. It has also been found beneficial to soak j liable to be blown off the ground by high winds, if

 about four to six hours, and then rolled in lime or therefore, it is considered best to sow the grain

would lime orashes. Experiments in this country, 

 thus far, have (roved the following methods as tiie 

 most advisable \n its application: 



For Corn. — At'ter the furrows have been struck, 

 Bprinkle in the pVice where the hill is to be, before 

 planting, a handful of poudrette, equal to about a 

 gill, then deposite the corn, (double that quantity 

 of poudrette has destroyed corn and burned it up,) 

 then cover up the corn and press the earth down 

 over it with the fool or hoe. 



For Potatoes. — The same quantity, namely a 

 handful or gill, may be used very advantageously ; 



of them contain any seed of weeds of any descrip 

 ition. An application of 35 bushels to the acre of 

 urate or poudrette once in every three years is suf- 

 ficient. 



Urate and poudrette may be sent to any part of 

 the country in barrels or bags — barrels are to be 

 preferred when it is liable to get wet. Orders may 

 be given, post paid, directed to " The JVcw York 

 Urate and Poudrette Company,'" box No. 1211, post 

 office. New York. 



The urate and poudrette made by this company, 

 is not confined to distribution among its stockhold 



quality is considered most desirable. ^: 



It may be that on trials of urate and poudrette, 

 different application may be found more desirabU ^^n 

 in such case it is hoped the experimenter will malj,^i. 

 known to the public his discovery, either by letti 

 addressed to the company, or through the mediu 

 of agricultural newspapers. This company lia\ 

 been erecting a large establish. i.ent at Lodi, on tl 

 Hackensack river, in the county of Bergen, ar 

 State of New Jersey, to manufacture urate au 

 poudrette. 



Applicants living in New Jersey, may always I 

 supplied by calling at the factory, which is nei 

 the bridge over the Hackensack river, belonging 

 the Nev° Jersey Railroad and Transportation CoD 

 pany. There will also be a depot for the article 

 New York and at Hrooklyn, where applicants c! 

 always be supplied. 



Testimony of the use and value of urate and po: 

 drette, will be found, now and hereafter, on refe 

 ence to the Cultivator, New England Farmer, ai 

 other agricultural papers, from letters or certificat 

 held by the company ; thesubstance of some of sm 

 as have been already received, is comprised in tl 

 following statement, and of others, have been set 

 to the papers fiir publication : 



1. George Walton, of the city of New Yot 

 gardener, upwards of 50 years of age, and a ga 

 dener from his youth, certifies that in the spring 



1837, he planted four young grape vines in a vat 

 in the city of New York,— that in the summer 



1838, he applied two quarts of poudrette to sui 

 vines ; — the earth was removed from round tl 

 roots and the poudrette applied to the roots a) 

 then covered over again with the earth; — they soi 

 began to grow very rapidly. In the year 183 

 there was applied, at three different times, abo 

 two quarts each time ; — the vines have grown ve: 

 rapidly, and all, except one, which died do'wn 

 the root in the winter, have a large quantity 

 fruit, snch as he never witnessed before, and a 

 cribes it to the use of the poudrette. — (See Cull 

 vator.) 



2. Benjamin Latin Wood, ofthe town of Pougl 

 keepsie, certifies that he made a solution of tl 

 poudrette, and soaked his oats in it six hours,- 

 sowed his oats three weeks later than the iisui 

 time, and reaped them only one week later tha 

 his neighbors, and his crop was first rate. H 

 planted two rows ofthe common bush bean, on th 

 20th of May, in hills, and put one giil of poudrett 

 to each hill, and before the 2Cth of August follow 

 ing, he had had four crops of beans from his bush 

 es. (See Cultivator.) They continued to blossor. 

 and yield, so that before the middle of Septenibei 

 he had two additional crops of beans. 



3. William H. Wright, of Poughkeepsie, far j, 

 mer, certifies that he made several experiment! i. 

 with the urate and poudrette. (See Cultivator.)— j 

 He soaked corn, part in a solution of urate, and pan E 

 in a solution of poudrette, about 12 hours, accord- 1' 

 ing to printed directions, which was planted, anc | 

 some corn was planted without being soaked : ther< : 

 was a decided benefit in all that was soaked ove 



and it has so happened, that when the (quantity was ers only, and therefore- farmers and gardeners may

 rather improved the potatoes : a large handful, how- 1 cation is made, without any condition of becoming j about a gill of poudrette was applied to each hill 

 ever, is sufficient.
