Improvements of such a nature have been made in the

 By experiments which have been made it has been proved 

 that its fructifying powers have been greatly increased ; its 

 operation upon vegetable mailer quickened. It will obviate 

 the effects of severe drought and will retain its fertilizing 

 qualities much longer than aiiv Poudrette heretofore made. 

 It will ripen corn in 66 days, fit for use. 1 he price will be 

 rerfwcec/ the following season, as follows. At the factory it 

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

 will be delivered at any wharf or place in the city ot New
