• • • ENSILAGE CORN. • • • 
Pittsfield, Mass., Nov. 9, 1892. 
CAN give you a testimonial regarding your goods 
I used by me on corn this year, and do so cheer- 
fully. Having a piece of land, about fifteen acres, 
that had had no manure for from ten to fifteen years, and 
which I wished to plant with ensilage corn, I asked your 
agent to send me the best goods he could for that purpose. 
He shipped me Bradley’s Complete Manure for Corn 
and Grain, which I used at the rate of 800 pounds to the 
acre on the entire fifteen acres without other dressing, and 
as a result have harvested an exceedingly satisfactory 
crop. Had I used instead ten cords of barn manure to 
the acre I wouldn’t have expected better results. 
Respectfully yours, 
O. T. Benedict. 
Northampton, Mass., Nov. 10, 1892. 
I had very satisfactory results last year with Bradley’s 
High Grade Goods, and it seems unnecessary for me to 
add further testimony to their value, but as I have raised 
a remarkably good crop of corn the past season on Brad- 
ley’s Complete Manure alone, without stable manure, your 
agent here has requested me again to send you a state- 
ment for publication. 
I applied last spring two tons of Bradley’s Complete 
Manure on four acres of run down land, and after harrow- 
ing it in with a wheel harrow, planted it to corn of the 
Canada variety. 
At first I had some doubts of my getting enough corn 
to warrant the outlay, but now that the corn is harvested 
I am well pleased with my experiment. 
From the four acres of ground my men husked 720 
bushels of as good corn as I ever raised in my life, it be- 
ing remarkably sound and free from soft or “pig” corn, 
so called. 
Allowing two bushels of ears to be equal to one of 
shelled (and it will probably overrun), the yield on the 
whole four acres would be 360 bushels of shelled corn, 
making 90 bushels to the acre. 
The fodder has not been weighed, but is estimated eight 
tons on the four acres, and is of very fine quality. 
I have used Bradley’s High Grade Tobacco Manure 
again this year on the same land as last, with equally as 
good results, the tobacco being of still larger growth than 
before. 
Respectfully yours, 
William Strong.
