rrilE NITRO-ORGANIC MANURE COMPANY, 



-1> (Late the Manchester Sewage Guano Company), 

 Have much pleasure in informing their Friends and Agricultu- 

 rlats gf rally, that in order to secure the most complete arrange- 

 ments in all the Chemical Processes in the Manufacture of their 

 Mamma), they have engaged the professional services of Dr. 



1 rasp Fi;anklam>, F.R.S., F.C.S.* Professor of Chemistry at 



>wen's College, Manchester, to analyse all the various Manures 

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

 reject 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 

 may confidently rely. 



The Nitro-Organic Manures are a Compost of Blood, Bones, 

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



hero leal 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 

 Peruvian 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 he used with very beneficial effect along 

 with a small dressing of common farm yard manure, or nightsoil, 

 in which ferm they have been strongly recommended.
