Improvements of such a nnlurc have been made in the

 near the city of New York, as to warrant the opinion, that 

 it is the cheapest and best manure now known and in use. 

 By experiineiits whitli huve been matle it has been proved 

 that its Iriiclilying powers have boon greatly increased ; its 

 operaiion upon vegetable matter quickened. It will obviate 

 the effects of severe drought and will retain ils fertilizini; 



?ualiiies much hniger than any Poudreite heretofore made, 

 t will ripen corn in C6 days, fit for use. 7ltc price uilt be
