POUDRETTE 



AS A MANURE FOR FALL AND WINTER CROPS. 



THE value of Poudrette as a manure for corn, and 

 other spring crops, is now well understood at 

 the north and east — and it is important to establish 

 its value as a top dressing for cotton and tobacco; and 

 also as a manure for winter wheat. It has been used 

 with entire success on wheat by several persons in 

 this state, in New Jersey and Connecticut, and to in- 

 duce its more extensive use on wheat the ensuing 

 fall, it will be sold at the reduced price of seven bar- 

 rels for ten dollars — or eleven barrels for fifteen dol- 

 lars, until November next, which will enable any to 

 make a thorough trial on wheat the ensuing season. 



Orders will be filled immediately on their receipt 

 with the cash, by

Orders addressed to the subscriber, post paid, en- 

 closing the cash, will be filled at the same rate in 

 Richmond, adding freight and other expenses, about 

 30 cents a barrel. C. T. BOTTS.

THE BOMMER MANURE METHOD. 



THIS process, by which all kinds of refuse vege- 

 table matter are speedily and cheaply converted 

 into manure of the most fertilizing quality, has been 

 thoroughly tested by some of the most practical and 

 experienced farmers in the Northern and Southern 

 States. The uniform success which has attended its 

 operation, commends it to the attention of every 

 farmer, who wishes to enrich his land at a trifling 

 cost. 



With a view of graduating the price to the quan- 

 tity of land upon which it may be desired to use the 

 method, the following scale has been adopted, viz: 

 For gardens, - - - $ 6 00 

 Farms, up to 100 acres, - - 10 00 

 Do. from 100 to 200 acres, - 15 00 



Do. from 200 to 300 acres, - 18 00 



Do. from 300 to 400 acres, - 20 00 



Over 400 acres in any one farm, - 25 00 

 All letters of enquiry must, be post paid.

FARMS FOR SALE. 

 npHE Subscriber is authorised to dispose of seve- 

 J_ ral farms in the State of Virginia, some of which 

 offer capital opportunities of investment; particular- 

 ly one in Charles City, about 32 miles from the city 

 of Richmond. It contains 213 acres; 75 or 80 of 

 which are cleared, the balance in pine wood, which, 

 situated as it is on a navigable creek, could be made 

 to pay for the place twice over. The neighborhood 

 is one of the best in the State of Virginia ; the build- 

 ings are indifferent, but the land is peculiarly calcu- 

 lated to be improved by marl or lime, of which an 

 abundance can be obtained on advantageous terms. 

 It can be bought for $10 an acre, one-half cash, the 

 balance on time, bearing interest. 



Also for sale two or three little places in the vi- 

 cinity of the city.
