NOW IS THE BEST TIME. 
If this meets the eye of any person who is con- 
templatiuy: nK.vlng to the west, and who is de- 
terred fiom doing BO by the marvellous stories 
which have gainitfcredence about the Nebraska 
grasshopper troubles, it will be well for him to 
remember that even if all the stories were true, 
the number of people said to be in destitution 
would only amount to five per cent of the popu- 
lation of the State. Hence it maybe seen how 
absurd are the reports circulated as to the whole 
State being in distress, &c. 
The prasBhonpers did visit the section through 
which the Burlington & Missouri River Railroad 
runs ; they carried away the corn, and so worked 
tiavoc among the settlers, many of whom having 
come into the country but recently, and beingde- 
pendent in a great measure upon their first crop, 
were frightened away ; and their want of courage 
affords the best possible opportunity for obtain- 
ing some of the finest tracts of land m the State 
at Dottom figures. 
Now la the time to come, therefore, to secure 
good bargains.

Double Refined Poudeette for sale in 
lots to suit customers. This article is sold 
iov half the price of other fertilizers, and is 
cheaper for Cotton, Corn, Tobacco, and 
Vegetables, than any other in the market. 
Price, delivered on board in New Tork City, 
S35 per ton. I ask attention to the follow- 
ing testimonials: 
Thomas W. Lathav, Providence Co.. R. T., writes: *' I 
would rather have your Double-refined Fondrette than any 
phosphate I ever used. AVhei'e I used it on Potatoes it was 
far ahead of any other manure." 
Mr. Howard. New London Co.. Ct.. writes: " I can fully 
recommend your Douhle-Reflned Poudrette ns being the 
best fertilizer in use for Corn, Potatoes, and Tobacco. I 
have teste- 1 it side by side with other manures, and the Pou- 
drette lias always proved the best." 
Mr. Allanson, Oneida Co., N". Y.. writes; "For several 
years past I have used your Poudrette for Corn, Potatoes, 
and Garden Vegetables, and I have realized on the first crop 
one hundred per cent lor all the money invested. 
S. J. Kellt. Burlington Co.. N. J., writes: '*I used 
Donble-reUned Poudrette on Rutabaga Turnips alongside 
of Peruvi;ui Guano and Hen Manure. Where the Pou- 
drette was applied, the increase was thirty per cent over 
the others." 
Milton Strong, Suffolk Co., N. Y.. writes : " I gave Pou- 
drette a thorough trial this ye:ir, using it upon Corn, Pota- 
toes, Lima Beans. Tomatoes, and Vines, and I h;ive never 
raised better crops. My Corn will yield luO bushels of ears 
per acre, and my garden was the surprise and admiration of 
all who saw it." 
Hkney T. Hoeton, Cheshire Co., N. H., writes: "I find, 
from experiments; made last year, the Double-refined Pou- 
drette is the cheappst fertilizer to use on Tobarch. I put it 
beside Peruvian Guano with equal cost of both, and the 
Tobacco was 30 per cent better where I used Poudrette."

Peruvian Guano. 
In LarfiTC or Siaiall Quantities. 
Last year I sold genuine Guano at the same price as 
charged by the Agents of the Peruvian Government, adding 
a very small commission, as a compensation for my services. 
This year, owing to the more liberal discount allowed to 
purchasers of large quantities, I am enabled to sell not only 
at the same price, without commission, in lots of 1 to 5 tons, 
but even cheaper, when in quantities of 6 tons and upward. 
Parties iu want of small quantities will find it economical 
to club together, and buy in lots of ten tons, on which there 
is a saving in price and cartage.
