MANUFACTORY, PLAI3TOW 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 is 

 e ecially 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 



eminent chemists; it contains all the elements which plants 



require, and when properly prepared and applied, will become 



<lw essence of vegetable as well as of animal life, 



The highly fertilising properties of Blood has been commented 



upon by Pro sor Wat, 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'Donakl, of Woolmer Lodge, Liphook, says: 

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

 pose admirably." 



Jonas Webb, E ?q., 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 upon a 

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

 )f Wheat." 



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

 shire.— 4 - 1 drilled your manure at the rate of 2J cwt. per acre, 

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

 poorest land 1 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 tfaM use it much more extensively this season." 



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

 yourWheat manure last autumn, and the consequent increase in the 

 crop both of corn and straw has convinced me of its great utility. *' 



Mr. H. Steed, Nonington, near Windham, Kent.— "I used 

 ■Odams' Patent Manure for Wheat last November, and never 

 nave I used any artificial manure with such benefit. ' 



Mr. Frederick Bobinson, Southery, near Dowoham Market, 

 MifTolk. — " 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 

 healthy appearance during the winter, and has produced me one 

 of the finest crops I ever grew." 



Extract from the Agricultural Gazette, 7th April, 1855.— "The 

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

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

 it contains soluble phosphate along with nitrogenous matter, is 

 ^3 nearly perfect, whether for roots or corn, as anything can 

 ordinarily be." 



tt Extract from the Mark Lane Express, of January, 1854.— 

 Amongst the new things which appeared this year for the first 

 time was Odams' Patent Blood Manure ; and it is this addition 

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

 l0 ng been acknowledged one of the most enriching of all our 

 nurtures, a proposition the soundness of whicli has been proved 

 "7 innumerable experiments. How that the startling fact ha 

 Cached the ears of the agricultural public that Peru will be 

 exhausted of Guano in a few years, surely the prospects of an 

 everlasting supply at home will be accepted with some degree of 

 actional satisfaction, more especially since the latter is supe- 

 rior to the former in quality." 



The Public are cautioned against spurious imitations; as secu- 

 juy to the purchaser every Bag is marked " Odams' Patent 

 »" ood Manure," and sold only by the authorised Agents of the

The correspondence on reaping machines which 

 our own and other agricultural papers have published 

 daring the past few weeks has been excited by the 

 remark of a cotemporary in reference to the 

 official report of the trials at Leigh Court last 

 month. That report described the trial then con- 

 ducted as "memorable in its immediate effects, and in 

 the future results to which it will doubtlesslead: ri and 

 the rejoinder of our cotemporary was that seeing the 

 awards of the Society's prize had been every year to 

 t differei machine, the only result to which this 

 i last award could lead would be to throw discredit

by them for its criticism 

 that the competition at Leigh Court was 

 well contested, and as carefully superintended as 

 anv trial to which these machines have been yet 

 subjected; and we believe that its result may 

 be safelv taken as a guide by purchaser* of 

 reapers ; but we could have wished that the praise 

 which is most probably its due had come from 

 another pen than that 'of its official reporter. If 

 ever doubts shall arise as to the trustworthiness of 

 the Society's decisions, it will be on those occasions 

 to v ich reporters for the public press are not 

 invited. Our national agricultural societies will 

 serve their purpose and their own interests more 

 effectually by more cordially accepting ^ the 

 assistance, and admitting the usefulness and ability 

 of the public press. Those who conducted the trials 

 at Abbot's Leigh ought to have invited the attend- 

 ance of reporters from every agricultural periodical 

 in the country ; agricultural readers would have 

 been better pleased to hear the closeness of the 

 contest borne witness to by indifferent specta-
