FERTILIZERS. 
H itherto the Planters of the South have been dependent on 
the North for all the artificial 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 
are particularly beneficial. Five hundred pounds applied to an 
acre of ordinary 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 tine and sifted, li 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 
efficacy to simple Guano. Three hundred pounds applied to the 
acre will show its effects for five years or more, by an annual in- 
crease of at least 10 per cent, in the crops. Put up in barrels of 
about 200 pounds 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 oi'dinary Stable Manure. 
The convenience of this article consists in its small bulk and con- 
sequent ease of handling. It may may be used befoi’e or after plant- 
ing of the crop. A tablespoonful put in each hill of Corn or Cotton, 
has been known to increase the yield twenty per. cent. Five hun- 
dred 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-dressing to an acre 
of meadow land, will increase its prodiicts 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 tv.’o thousand bushels of Ruta 
Baga Turnips have been raised to the acre, by the application of 
200 pounds of this fertilizer. For Garden crops, it is all that is 
necessary for success. 
The Super-Phosphate of Lime is put up in baiTels containing 
about 200 pounds, and is sold at 2 cents per pound. 
POUDRETTE. — Tvv^o large establishments in New York, tum- 
ieg out o 50,000 barrels annually, are not able to supply the demand 
idf 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 barrel. 
Orders by mail or otherwise, addressed to the subscriber, 
will receive prompt attention. D. C. LOWBER,

ATKIN’S AUTOMATON ; or, SELF-RAKING REAPER 
AND MOWER, 
THE BEST MACHINE IN USE 
1 (the first) used in 1852. 
40 used successfully in 1853. 
300 in twenty different States in 1854. 
1200 in all parts of the Union in 1855. 
3000 building for the harvest of 1856. 
T here are six good reasons for this unparalled increase and 
great popularity ; — 1st. It is strong and reliable, and easily- 
managed. 2d. It saves the hard labor of Raking. 3d. It saves at 
least another hand in binding. 4th. It saves shattering by the care- 
ful handling in raking ; besides, the straw being laid straight, it is 
well secured in the sheaf, and does not drop in the after handling, 
and the heads are not exposed in the stack, so that the grains sav- 
ing even exceeds the labor saving. 5th. It is a good Mower, being 
one of the best convertible machines in use. 6th. It has a knife 
that docs not choke. 
Its other excellencies, too numerous to mention here, are fairly 
given in the Circulars. Its intrinsic v/orth is also attested by ihe 
awards (mostly in only 3 years) of 
OVER 7U FIRST PREMIUMS ! 
Price. — Reaper and Mower, $200 — $75 on its receipt, $75 first 
September and $50 first December. Price of Self-Raking Reaper 
only $175. Considerable saving in freight to those at a distance who 
order prior to 1st March ; also liberal discount for advance payment. 
To secure a machine order immediately. Though so little is 
known the past season, and none ready for delivery till 1st May, 
yet not two-thirds the customers could be supplied. The reputa- 
tion of the Machme is now widely established, so that three thous- 
and will not as nearly supply the demand as twelve hmrdred did 
last year, and we shall also be selling four months earlier.
