POUDRETTE. 



Improvements of such a nature have been made in the 

 i manufacture of Poudrette, by the Lodi Manufacluri.-ig Co., 

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

 it is the che'a])est and best manure iioAr known and in use. 

 By experiments which have been made it has been proved 

 that its frnclifying powers have been greally increased ; its 

 operation upon vegelable mailer quickened. It will obviate 

 the eifects of severe drought and will retain its fertilizing 

 qualities much longer than any Poudrelle heretofore made. 

 It will ripen corn in 66 days, fit for use. 7lie price inlt be 

 rerfucerf the followm^^ season, as follows. At the factory il 

 will be sold m bulk, at the rate of 25 cents per bushel- It

 3 barrels, and Slo,.'iO for 7 barrels, and at the rate of Sl,5i)
