FERTILIZERS. 
H itherto the planters of the South have been dependent on 
the North for all the artiticial fertilizers they have used. The 
New Orleans Bone Black Company recently established in this city, 
with facilities for the manufacture of MANURES second to none’ 
in the United States, are prepared to fill orders for the following 
FERTILIZERS at the same prices charged in Baltimore and New 
York: 
GROUND BONES. — For Fruit Trees and Grape Vines these 
tiVe particularly beneficial. Five hundred pounds applied to an 
acre of Oi'dinaiy pine wood land, aided by good, deep plowing, will 
produce a crop of Cotton as large as any of the best bottom lands. 
It is ground both fine and course, and is put up in barrells. The 
coarse is li cent per pound — the fine and sifted, 1-1 cent per pound. 
Its great durability in the soil renders it the cheapest manure in 
use. 
PHOSPHATED GUANO. — This valuable fertilizers, composed 
of equal parts of Peruvian Guano and fine Bone Dust, is, in every 
respect, superior and far more lasting than Guano used by itself. It 
is an established fact that Guano lacks Phosphate of Lime, and, 
also, that one half of its fertilizing qualities are dissipated in the air, 
which is plainly to be perceived by the strong ammoniacal small 
constantly emitted by it until its strength is gone. 
Bone Dust is nothing more than Phosphate of Lime, and this, be- 
sides being a strong and valuable manure, fixes the Ammonia in 
the Guano and retains it until it is absorbed by the plants. A trial 
of this fertilizer will satisfy any one of its durability and superior 
oificacy to simple Guano. Three hundred poimds applied to the 
acre will show its effects for five j-ears or more, by an annual in- 
crease of at least 10 per cent, in the crops. Put up in barrels of 
about 200 poimds each, at 2 cents per pound. 
SUPER-PHOSPHATE OF LIME.— This highly concentrated 
manure is composed of Animal Matter, Sulphuric Acid, Bone Dust, 
Gypsum and Sulphate of Iron, each ot which, by itself, is a power- 
ful fertilizer. 
Five hundred pounds, or about two barrels of this Super-Phos- 
phate of Lime have been found to be fully equal, in beneficial ef- 
fects, to thirty wagon loads of ordinary Stable Manure. 
The convenience of this article consists in its small bulk and con- 
sequent ease of handling. It may may be used before or after plant- 
ing of the crop. A tablespoonfui^rat in each hill of Corn or Cotton, 
has been known to increase the yield twenty per. cent. Five hun- 
di-ed pounds to an acre of common piney woods land having a clay 
subsoil, will enable it to yield as good a crop as any rdinary bottom 
land. A single hundred pound applied as a top-di'essing to an acre 
•of meadow laud, will increase its products at least a ton of hay. To 
Horticulturists, it is invaluable, as it may be applied to Fruit Trees 
at any season of the year. More than two thousand bushels of Ruta 
Baga^Tumips have been raised to the acre, by the application of 
300 pounds of this fertilizer. For Garden crops, it is all that is 
necessary for success. 
The Super-Phosphate of Lime is put up in barrels containing 
about 200 pounds, and is sold at 2 cents per pound. 
POUDRETTE. — Two large establishments in New A’ork, tura- 
ieg out o 50,000 ban-els annually, are not able to supply the demand 
of the market gardeners in the vicinity of that city for this justly 
popular manure. It is composed of night-soil, deodorized and made 
into a powder similar to Guano, and is put up in barrels at $2.50 
per ban-el. 
Orders by mail or otherwise, addressed to the subscriber, 
■will receive prompt attention. D. C. LOWBER,

FORMAN’S IRON PLOW STOCK. 
T he undersigned having purchased the Patent Right to the above 
valuable and popular PLOW STOCK for the counties of Rich- 
mond, Lincoln, Burke, Jefferson, Washington, Scriven and EmanueL 
are prepared to furnish it to planters at the manufacturer’s prices. 
This Stock, which is made entirely of wrought iron, is a Southern 
invention and has been sufficiently tried to prove that it runs more 
steadily, breaks and pulverizes the soil more thoroughly, clogs less 
in rough land, is more easily adjusted for deep or shallow plowing, 
holds the shares more firmly, lasts longer and is, in the end, far 
cheaper than any other stock now in use. Numerous certificates, in 
our possession from the most practical and successful planters in 
the country, fully sustain us in the above statement. We will have 
pleasure in sending a circular containing some of these certificates, 
with a more minute description of the plow, to any person who will 
make application. 
See, also, the November number of the Southern Cultivator, p. 
.345. The above Stock is adapted to six different points or shares— 
including every variety which a planter will need from the beginning 
to the end of the year. Among them is an admirable one for subsoil- 
ing. These shares may be had with the Stock when desired, 
though any plantation smith can m-ake them after once seeing them. 
Rights for counties, shops, or plantations will be sold on reasonable 
terms. Apply at the hardware stores in Augusta, or address
