 to the notice of Agriculturists, It contains from 7 to 8 per cent, 

 of nitre gen, in a form yielding ammonia by slow decomposition. 

 sad is therefore particularly adapted for Wheat. The quantii

MANUFACTORY, PLAISTOW MARSHES, ESSEX. 



The Directors of the above Company (many of whom are 

 eminent agriculturists), beg to call the attention of their friends 

 and the agricultural community to their Patent Blood Manure, 

 which is composed of Bones dissolved with sulphuric acid, to 

 which is added about 1500 lbs. of pure Blood to every ton of the 

 Manure, carefully dried and prepared for the drill or hand sowing. 

 Being rich in Nitrogen and other necessary ingredients, it i 

 especially adapted for the Wheat Crop, and has been used with 

 the greatest success in all parts of England. 



It is a very remarkable fact that the analysis of Blood and the 

 grain of Wheat are nearly identical, as proved by the most 

 «minent chemists ; it contains all the elements which plants 

 require, and when properly prepared and applied, will become 

 the essence of vegetable as well as of animal life. 



The highly fertilising properties of Blood has been commented 

 npon by Professor Way, and others, and the success of the 

 Blood Manure for Wheat Crops has been fully proved upon all 

 soils, by the practical experience of numerous agriculturists, a 

 few of whom are the following: — 



Sir Archibald M'Donald, of Woolmer Lodge, Liphook, says : 

 "The Wheat manure I purchased of you has answered its pur- 

 pose admirably." 



Jonas Webb, Esq., Babraham, Cambridgeshire.—" Your Wheat 

 manure I tried by the side of guano, and if anything it had the 

 advantage, as the quality from it is superior." 



Mr. Baker, Steward to His Grace the Duke of Bedford, Park 

 Farm, Woburn, Bedfordshire. — "I used your manure npon a 

 piece of poor land after Peas, and have grown an excellent crop 

 of Wheat." 



Mr. Benjamin Goulton, Gedney Marsh, Long Sutton, Lincoln- 

 shire. — " I drilled your manure at the rate of 2£ cwt. per acre, 

 along with the Wheat over 30 acres, and although the field is the 

 poorest land I have on my farm, the crop ranked amongst the 

 best I have. I do not know how I can recommend it better than 

 by saying I shall use it much more extensively this season." 



Mr. Walter Murton, East Stour, Ashford, Kent.—" I sowed 

 your Wheat manure last autumn, and the consequent increase in the 

 crop both of corn and st^aw has convinced me of its great utility." 



^ r - H. Steed, Nonington, near Wingham, Kent. — u I used 

 Odams' Patent Manure for Wheat last November, and never 

 have I used any artificial manure with such benefit: 7 



Mr. Frederick Robinson, Southery, near Downham Market, 

 Saffolk.-— " I last autumn used 2 cwt. of your manure per acre on a 

 piece of fen land ; it came up very strong in plant, assumed a most 

 Wealthy appearance during the winter, and has produced me one 

 of the finest crops I ever grew." 



Extract from the Agricultural Gazette, 7th April, 1355.— " The 

 ^fro-Phosphate Company throw blood and bones together, and 

 *dd sulphuric acid, thereby manufacturing a mauure, which, as 

 « contains soluble phosphate along with nitrogenous matter, is 

 * s nearly perfect, whether for roots or corn, as anything can 

 ordinarily be." 



«< F X ^ ract ** om * ae Mark Lane Express, of January, 1854.— 

 Amongst the new things which appeared this year for the first 

 wmewasOuams' Patent Blood Manure; and it is this addition 

 wour fertilisers which falls to our province to review. Blood has 

 Jong been acknowledged one of the most enriching of all our 

 J&*uures, a proposition the soundness of which has been proved 

 •y innumerable experiments. Now that the startling fact ha;; 

 reached the ears of the agricultural public that Peru will be 

 **nausted of Guano in a few years, surely the prospects of an 

 ^enastjng supply at home will be accepted with some degree of 

 "•tlonai satisfaction, more especially since the latter is supe- 

 n °r to the former in quality."'

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1855. 



♦— 



The Composition of the Superphosphate of Lime 



in the market ranks in importance as an agricultural 



subject next to that of guano. There is hardly 



a testimonial published by any manure company to 



the merits of their particular form of this manure 



that does not end with an order for 5, 8, or 10 tons 



of.it, and a very large proportion of all the Swedish 



Turnips grown in the country are indebted to it 



for their growth. The soluble form of phosphate 



"the 



the 



by 



the 



of lime seems especially adapted to hasten 

 growth of the young Turnip plant through 

 period when it is most liable to injury 

 the fly, and the heavy crops grown after 

 application of 3 cwt. per acre of good "super- 

 phosphate " to a good Turnip soil, prove the 

 manure to be equally efficient till the very close 

 of growth. No wonder, then, that all our manure 

 companies and manufacturers profess to make super- 

 phosphate of lime— or that one company, of whose 

 respectability the names of its trustees, directors, 



and auditors are sufficient guarantee, seems by its 

 title to devote itself exclusively to the production of 

 this important fertilizer. This company styles itself, 

 indeed, the " Superphosphate Compost Manure 



but then superphosphate is always

phate of lime is to be obtained alone only by 



a nice chemical process. In its manufacture 

 from bones or coprolites it remains in the

midst also of those other matters which the mate- 



agriculturally is superphosphate
