FERTILIZERS. 
H ITIIEIITO the Planters of llie South have been dependent on the 
Nortti for all the artificial fertilizers they hare used The New 
Orleans Roue Black Company recently established in this city, with 
facilities for the manufuctureTOf manures second to none in the United 
States, are prepareil to Dll orders for the followin" FEllTlLIZEPiS at 
the saia^ prices charged in Baltimore and New York ; 
GItOUNO BONKS.— For fruit trees and grape vines these are par- 
ticularly beneficial. Five hundred pounds ai)plied to an acre of ordin- 
ary pine woodland, aided bv good, deep plowing, will ))roduce a crop 
of Cotton as large as any of the best bottom la^ ds. It is ground both 
fine and coarse, and is put up in b irrels. The coarse is per 
pound— the fine and sifted, per pound. Its great durability in 
the soil renders it the cheapest manure in use. 
PIlOSPllATED GUANO — This valuable fertilizer, composed of 
equal parts of Peruvian Guano and fine Bone Dust, is, in every re- 
spect, superior and far more lasting than Guano used by itself. It is 
an established fact that Guano lac'is Phosohate 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 smell constant- 
ly emitted by it untill its streng'h is gone. 
Bone Dust is nothing more than Phosphate of L me, and this, be- 
sides being a strong and valuable manure, fixes the Ammonia in the 
Guano and retai'^s 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 tc the acre will show 
* its effects for five yetlrs or more, by an annual increase of at least 10 
percent, in the crops. Put up in barrels of about 2O0 pounds each, 
at 2 cents per pound. 
SUPER- PHOSPIlATK OF LIME. — This highly concentrated ma- 
nure is composed of Animal Matter, Sulphuric Acid, Bone Dust, Gy])- 
sumand Sulphate of Iron, each of which, by itself, is a powerful fer- 
tilizer. 
Five hundred pounds, or about two barrels of this Super-Phosphate 
of Lime have been found to be fully equal, in beneficial effects, 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 be used before or after planting of 
the crop. A tablespoonful put in each hil' of Corn or Cotton, has 
been known to increase the yield twenty per cent. Five hundred lbs. 
to an acre of common piney wooils land having a clay subsoil, w ill en- 
able it to yield as good a crop as any ordinary bottom land. A 
single hundred pound applied as a top-dressing to an acre of meadow 
land, will increase its products at least a ton of hay. To llorticu- 
turists, 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 
Turnips have been raised to the acre, by the application of 206 lbs. 
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 York, turning 
out over fifty thousand barrels annually, are not able to supjtly the de- 
mand of the market gardeners in the vicinity of that city for thisjustly 
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 re- 
ceive prompt attention. D C. LOWBER,

1 have been running one of Scoifs Little Giint Corn and Cob 
J/fZ7.s’, 4, for the last five weeks, and it performs to my entire 
satisfaction. It wa‘< warranted to grind 20 bushels per hour, but I 
have ground over 35 bushels iu an hour and a half, or equal to 
bushels per hour. Iu feeding 80 horses, I save at least lOO bushels of 
Corn per month, it now requiring only 200 bushels of Corn with the 
cob, where I formerly fed 300. I consider it decidedly the best kind 
of Crusher ever got up, and if I could not replace mine I would not 
sell it for $500. I. d MATHEWS,
