rTHEJNiTRO-ORGANIC MANURE COMPANY, 



X (Late the Manchester Sewage Guano Company), 

 Have much pleasure in informing their Friends and Agricultu- 

 rists generally, that in order to secure the most complete arrange- 

 ments in all the Chemical Processes in the Manufacture of their 

 Manures, they have engaged the professional services of Dr. 

 Edward Fp.a.vkland, F.R.S., F.C.S., Professor of Chemistry at 

 Owen's College, Manchester, to analyse all the various Manures 

 Bads daily at their Works, and they have empowered him to 

 rajeet every portion which is not found to be of the full standard 

 quality. This arrangement will secure to all their customers a 

 standard and uniform manure, of equal or greater value (in pro- 

 portion to its cost) than foreign guano, and on which agriculturists 

 -Bay confidently rely. 



*Th« Nitro-Organic Manures are a Compost of Blood, Bones, 

 Uriea, Nightsoil,and other animal matters, and highly fertilising 

 Cb«mical Ingredients, which, in a concentrated state, are incor- 

 porated with prepared Charcoal, and forming dry portable 

 manures, which enrich the land for several years after they are 

 applied. They may be used in all cases, exactly the same as 

 ftnrian Guano, at equal cost per acre. 



For top-dressing, the Manure is recommended to be applied in 

 all cases in wet or showery weather. If convenient, the Nitro- 

 Organic Manures may be used with very benelicial effect along 

 with a small dressing of common farm-yard manure, or nigbtsoil. 

 in which form they have been strongly recommended.

GRASSES FOR PERMANENT PASTURE.— /fe™? been 

 among the first to recommend the vse of the Natural Grasses 



i in the formation of Permanent Pasture, the subject has occupi, 

 a large share of our attention. We have carefully noted the species 

 composing the best Xatural Pastures, and the results of combina- 

 tions in culture under varied circumstances of soil and situation ; 

 and, as the result of our observations, as well as from the great 



j satisfaction our selections have given, we feel warranted in recom- 

 mending, in addition to the Grasses usually sown, a variety of such 

 species as are known, not only to yield the greatest bulk of herbage, 

 but the largest amount of milking and feeding properties, varying 

 those species, and the proportions of each, according to the nature 

 of the land to be laid down. From the increased demand, we are 

 enabled to charge a lower price than formerly. An excellent 

 assortment, and allowing a liberal supply of Seeds, may be had 

 at from 24s. to 26s. per statute acre. 



TURNIP, in all the leading varieties, saved by ourselves from
