This Company is formed for the manufacture and supply of the 

 ♦>m>P following valuable preparations, invented and patented by 

 VtWiluam White -.--CYANIC MANURE, CYANIC DEO- 

 DOBISING POWDER, CYANIC PLANT-PRKSERYATIVE. 



The^Cyanic Manure is the successful result of many years' 

 patient investigation into the economy of the vegetable kingdom, 

 and possesses several distinctive features of superiority over 

 ordinary farm-yard manure, and the great majority of those 

 known as artificial. To the Agriculturist, it will be found to 

 afford all the elements of fertilisation in their just proportions: 

 this assertion is founded on positive experience. It is manufac- 

 tured in the form of a portable inodorous powder, and is used at 

 the average rate of three cwt. to the acre. Like Guano, it is sown 

 broadcast or drilled in with the seed; and for Wheat and other 

 grain crops ib most efficacious. In its application to Turnips, 

 Swedes, Mangold Wuezel, and root crops generally,' as aiso 

 to Clover and Grasses, it has proved to be equally successful. 

 To the Gardener it is essentially valuable, as presenting the 

 richest manure in the simplest form, which can at pleasure be 

 used by either being drilled in with the need, or broadcast over 

 the soil. Price of the Cyanic Manure, 8/. per ton, packages in- 

 cluded, and delivered free at all the Railway Stations and Wharfs 

 in London. The above are not submitted to the public until 

 every assertion relative to them has been tested by patient and 

 successful experiments, and witnessed by judges of the first 

 authority.— Orders addressed to the Secretary, at the Offices of 

 the Company, No. 37, Charing Cross, London, or to the several 

 Agents, will receive prompt attention. 



Agents— London: Mr. J. E. Saunders, 7, Lower Thames Street. 

 Exeter : Messrs. Lucombe, Pince, & Co., Seedsmen. 





KT1F1C1AL MAKUHES, &c— Manufacturer* and 



ethers engaged in making ARTIFICIAL MANURES may 



obtain every necessary instruction for their economical and 



efficient preparation, by applying to J. C. Nksbit, F.G.S., &c, 



Principal of the Agricultural and Chemical College, Kennington, 



London. Analyses of Soils, Guanos, Superphosphates of Lime, 



Coprohtes, &c, and Assays of Gold, Silver, and other Minerals, 



are executed with accuracy and dispatch. 



Gentlemen desirous of receiving instructions in Chemical 



Analyses and Assaying, will find ample facility and accommoda- 

 tion at the College. 



ANURE TRADE AGENCY.— The Advertisers 



require AGENTS for the sale of a new and first-class 

 Manure. As they will be supplied with an article equal, if not 

 superior to any art ficial manure of the day, it is needless for 

 nose who expect a large commission for the sale of a worthless 



«ncie to apply.— Alpha, care of Mr. Jordan, * Gracechuich

droves of sheep 120 miles in length, of calves and 

 pigs some 20 miles in length, which with these cattle 

 form our annual supply of butchers' meat, will be 

 penned hereafter in room and comfort — neither of 

 which could be obtained within the narrow area of 

 the present market. 



Our engraving in another page points out the 

 relative positions and extent of the several kinds of 

 accommodation which for the future are to be given 

 to the most important trade (hitherto) within the City. 

 — Smithfield market is an irregularly-shaped area, 

 intersected by numerous thoroughfares and streets : 

 Copenhagen Field, it will be seen, forms a quad- 

 rangular area intersected only by such roads as 

 adapt it for its market purposes. The former is 

 but 6h acres in extent, no larger than it was when 

 London held one-fifth its present number of con- 

 sumers : the latter is five times as extensive — only 

 a portion of its area, however, being required for the 

 market proper. Thirty-five thousand sheep will find 

 standing room within it, in nearly 1800 pens ; and 

 there are more than 13,000 feet ol rail, to every tyro 

 of which a bullock may be tied. The pens for sheep 

 and railing for the cattle can be readily identified in 

 the drawing. The engraving represents the place 

 as seen from the west or south-west corner. The 



tw ? o 



rectangular 



courts on 



the 

 acre 



pigs 





partly-covered 

 west side of the sheep-pens, are areas of an 

 each for the accommodation of calves and 

 respectively. Shelter while on sale, and convenience 

 for despatch by carts (the floor of the greater part of 

 these two markets being on a level with the cart-bed 

 above the roadway) are thus provided. On the 

 western side, the buildings immediately at the foot 

 of the engraving are only partly built — they are 

 the public slaughter-houses and the meat market. 

 On the same side, west of the calf and pig markets, 

 is the lairage for sheep, providing accommodation for 

 8000 on an area of 6 acres. This space is divided into 

 yards, a part of each being covered, and each being 

 furnished with hay-racks and with water-troughs. 

 The lairage for 3000 bullocks, on an area of 8 acres 

 similarly divided into yards, each of which is pro- 

 vided in like manner with shelter and with food — 

 lies to the south and south-east of the ground. Each 

 of these spaces has at short intervals water laid on 

 for use either in cleansing or for consumption. At 

 the eastern end of the area, beside the Great Nor- 

 thern line (which runs under one corner of it), a 

 hide and skin market, not yet erected, is repre- 

 sented as being intended ; and on the other side of 

 that line additional slaughter-houses, as required, 

 may be built. The central building with the 

 clock tower will furnish accommodation for the 

 several banking establishments; and public- houses 

 at the corners, with two large hotels on the northern 

 side— the Queen's Arms and the City Arms— will 

 supply refreshments to the salesmen and their cus- 

 tomers, who will conduct the enormous trade that is 

 next week to find its new channel here. At the south 



of the area a cattle station will be erected by the 

 London and North- Western line, and access from the 

 northern, and western, and eastern districts of supply 

 will thus be easily provided— these being the quarters 

 from which much the largest quantity of meat at 

 present reaches us.— We may add to the above that 

 there is abundance of unoccupied space belonging to 

 the market, into which it may extend itself as 

 London grows and its necessities increase. 



Business will be conducted here as hitherto; by 

 the same men, under the same regulation^ in the 

 same manner, after the same rates, on the same days, 

 and at the same charges. The only differences will be 

 those arising out of change of place ; but how great 

 these will be to the comfort of the men employed 

 and of the animals disposed of, and therefore to the 

 interests of the owners and consumers of the stock, 

 any one who has witnessed Smithfield on a crowded 

 day can readily anticipate. The barbarity of goad- 

 ing into "ring droves" imposed upon the salesmen 

 by the limits of the present market will he avoided ; 

 this, and the avoidance of the present brutal driving 

 through narrow crowded streets, will together save 

 much in value of the animal up to the time of sale 



JEft£ SgrtCttltttt&l <&U$tttt+ J andmuch in the after quality of the meat.
