This most, convenient and simple Cheese Vat has been in

It has been diligently improved, to embrace every con- 
venience wanted by the dairyman, and to make it simple, 
cheap, and durable. 
"We call attention to the improvements made within the 
last two or three years, for regulating the heating of the milk 
and scalding the curd, and for supplying hot water, and the 
very simple and perfect arrangement, by which these are 
accomplished. 
Some new improvements have been added the present sea- 
son. One of which is a measure or scale, to show the number 
of gallons of milk in the vat. This is one of those little but 
valuable improvements, which shows the manufacturer is 
alive to the interests and wants oi his customers. 
We pack them to go any distance with safetv. 
Dairymen in any part of the country, by ordering of us,

Attention is called to the following letter from a farmer 
Farmington, N. H., October 9, 1862. 
James R. Dey, Esq., President Lodi Manufacturing Co. 
For several years past I have used as a fertilizer, the Lodi 
Manufacturing t'o.'s Poudrette. 1 commenced in 1859, I 
then had a tenant carrying on my farm upon shares. Ho 
agreed to use such artificial means as I should furnish free 
of expense to him, bur lie had but little faith in anything but 
barn-yard manure. 1 purchased some Poudrette. He took 
It from the freight-house; opened it; came to me with eves 
wide open, andsaid, "You have got cheated, this stuff 
is nothing but dirt." I told him, "I supposed I had: it 
was nothing new; I was in the habit of getting cheated, but 
as it cost him nothing, I wanted him, to use it.' v 
"We had a piece of poor, sandy loam land, which he plant- 
ed with potatoes, without manure. He put Poudrette in the 
hills eight rows, then omitted eight rows, and then put limo 
in the hill, as he had a mind to try that. 
The result was, that where the Poudrette was put, the po- 
tatoes came up three or lour days before the others. The 
tops were twiee the size during the season, and at harvest- 
ing we measured two lots of each, one of which the Poudrette 
gave twice the Quantity of potatoes, and the other in the 
proportion of five to three. 
The lime had no perceptible effect. 
We had a piece of corn land, sandy loam, (my tillage land 
is sandy and gravelly loam.) the corn had a liberal dressing, 
say leu cords of barn dung to the acre, spread upon grass 
land, a part ploughed in the fall before, the balance in the 
soring. The tenant prepared a compost to put in the hill, a 
mixture of night soil, hog manure and loam well mixed, se- 
veral times shovelled over, and well incorporated together 
This was put in the hill. In eight rows through the middle 
ofthe piece, this was omitted and Poudrette was substituted 
instead. The result was, the Poudrette brought the corn up 
sooner, of a better color, and at the end of two weeks after 
it came up, nearly twice as large, and it maintained it a 
head and shoulder above the other during the season. At 
harvesting, we measured the corn, and where we got tive 
bushels with the compost, we had six bushels with the 
Poudrette. 
This satisfied mc, and convinced mv unbelieving tenant 
that it was something besides dirt. I have used it with 
whatever I plant ever since, and shall continue to do so, sis 
long as it maintains iis character, and is furnished at. reason- 
able prices. We sometimes think we save an entire crop of 
corn bv the use of Poudrette, in case of earlv frost, as it 
brings the crop to maturity at least a week earlier. 
There has been an increasing demand here since ft lias 
been introduced, and from my own observation, and the in- 
formation of others, I think it does as well on upland soils, 
as upon sandy loam. I have not been so particular since my 
first experiment, but every year I left a few rows so as to in- 
sure that it maintains its character. The present year there 
isa very marked difference in the appearance of a few rows 
left without the Poudrette. in a piece of corn not yet har- 
vested. The appearance of your Poudrette to one not ac- 
customed to it, is not very flattering. I will relate an ancc 
dote on this point. In I860 I prevailed upon a neighbor to 
try a couple of barrels, for which, I think, he paid me $4,20. 
He informed me allerwards, that he took it into his Held all 
alone, and opened it; said he, I said to myself, if some one 
will come along and give me a dollar, he shall have both 
barrels. No one coming along, he tried it, and lias used it, 
cverv season since, and thinks very highly of its fertilizing 
qualities. Some of my neighbors have said to me, that they 
thought it had been worth to them $5 per barrel. I have used 
other fertilizers, such as Guano, Superphosphate, &c, most 
of which are beneficial, but none come fairly up to the I'ou- 
drelte. One particular advantage Poudrette has over other 
fertilizers is, that the smell is not offensive, and it will not 
kill the seed. 
And again, it is not so expensive. My method is, to put 
it in the hill with the seed. A quart by measure is 
ample for ten hills, at which rate a barrel will manure a thou- 
sand hills. I have known it to do well when a less quantity 
was used. I think nothing else should be put with it. It ts 
a light matter to put it in the hill with the hand, as a person 
can drop it faster than a boy can drop corn. And it does 
not require the large hole necessary to put in dung or com- 
post, and is a protection against the wire worm. 
Respectfully yours, 
CEO. L. WHITEHOUSE.
