EVERY LADY 
In the United States can afford to spend 15 CENTS to 
learn what the Fashions are going to be, and the very 
Lowest Prices at which the coming Fashions can be 
purchased. 
15 CENTS will make you a subscriber to the Spring 
Number of 
EHRIOHS’ FASHION QUARTERLY. 
A Magazine that differs from all others in that it presents no 
possible, probable , or imaginary Fashion-dreams of ar¬ 
tists, and reprints from Foreign publications—but in that t 
offers only Real, Genuine, Decided Fashions, as ac¬ 
cepted and endorsed by the Elite of New York City. 
Every article—Ladies’ and Children’s Suits, Fine Under¬ 
clothing, Baby Wear, Trimmed Bonnets, Lingerie and Neck 
Wear, DresB Trimmings, Dress Goods, Jewelry, Gloves, and 
thousands of other Goods interesting to ladies—each is 
richly ilhistrated, accurately described, and accompanied 
by the price at which it can be purchased. Our Magazine, 
therefore, compares with other Fashion Journals as does a 
good slice of Pudding with a Cooking Recipe. Other 
Journals tell you what can or may be worn. Ours tell you 
what is being worn, and the price at which you can make it 
up or buy it ready made. We venture to say that more 
practical and positive information can be obtained as to ' 
New York styles and prices from one number of our 
“Quarterly,” than from a dozen shopping excursions to 
New York City. 
Interleaved between the Fashions, our “ Quarterly ” offers 
also the very best original Reading Matter—practical 
essays on “ Cooking,” by Miss Corson, Directress of New 
York Cooking School—charming papers, poems, and stories 
by " Kate True “ Daisy Eyebright “ Paul Long ”— 
“Madge Elliott’’—Mrs. Pollard, &c., &c. Instructive De¬ 
partment for Young Folks. 
Our enormous Subscription List of iaBt rear, and our con¬ 
stant receipt of innumerable complimentary letters, make 
us believe that our “ Quarterly ” ought to go to every family 
in the United States. 3 
Subscription price, 50 cents per year (4 numbers): 15

Stockbridge Manures 
Manure Tortile IVtuilsol 1 tlie Crops. 
“ Do You Feed your Cow as you Feed your Pig ? ” 
' Fertilizers should not only be compounded in different 
proportions, but regard should be paid to the nature of the 
crops. For example: a different source of nitrogen should 
he used for some crops titan for others, and the same with 
pota-li. To mix up a little of this or that in indifferent or 
imp-hazard proportions is but the crudest way of making a 
fertilizer, and is generally employed bv those who have re¬ 
fuse material to dispose of. Do you feed your dog as you 
feed your horse? your cow as you feed your nig? They con¬ 
sume, it is true, the same elements of nutrition, but they re¬ 
quire them in different forms. The same is true of plants. 
Now this difference is recognized to a certain extent in the 
8tockbridge Manures, and is one of the reasons why they 
have produced such satisfactory and wonderful results. 
THEY SAY: 
Providence Co.. R. I., Geo. C. Elliott, 1877.—'The Stock- 
bridge Manure produced twelve tons hay ou five acres land. 
Worcester Co., Mass.. W. J. Wheeler. 1877.— Potatoes yield¬ 
ed per acre on the Stockbridge Manure 175 bushels, smooth 
and of fine quality. 
Coos Co., N. H.. John Morse, 1877.—I had Stockbridge Ma¬ 
nure for corn, pota'oes, and fodder corn, and used it ny tne 
side of land witli stable manure. The result in all being in 
favor of the Stockbridge, and the potatoes did not rot as ou 
stable manure. 
“ There are no potatoes so clean and free from blemish, as 
those grown with artificial fertilizers.”—Am. Agriculturist. 
C:au 8 Afford, lo nse Fertilizers ? 
This question is asked by nearly every farmer, and must 
be answered by eacli one for himself. It would, however, 
be more easily answered if farmers knew better what to ex¬ 
pect of fertilizers. The Stockbridge Manures are made to 
furnish the plant-food for so much crop, and before tho 
farmer buys, lie is informed as to wit at lie may reasonably 
expect, to obtain under average conditions of soil, season, 
seed, etc. The results of the last five years have shown that 
in at least 90 per cent of the trials, the results have been fully 
equal to those they were lead to expect, and in some cases 
far better, showing that the application of a certain amount 
of plant-food to produce certain results is practicable as 
well as common sense. The Stockbridge Manures, there¬ 
fore, enable the farmer before buying them, to calculate ami 
settle for himself whether he, under his own peculiar cir¬ 
cumstances, can afford to use them or not, which is not the 
case with other fertilizers in common use. 
87 Bushels per Acre.— Hampden Co., Mass.. Wiliinm 
Birnie writes: “ I used $300 worth last year. Results highly 
satisfactory. Used$J8toau acre; would not have produced 
50 bn. of ears, and it produced 175 bu. of ears—sound corn. 
90 Bushels Corn per Acre.— Essex Co.. Mass., James 
P. King, 1877.—1 used $20 worth on one acre of land, and har¬ 
vested 90 bushels of shelled corn to the acre, no other ma¬ 
nure being used. On fodder corn, $12 worth to the acre, I 
obtained more weight per acre than with manure at the rate 
of 4 to 5 cords per acre. I am satisfied as good crops can be 
obtained by the use of Stockbridge Manures as with stable 
manure, and at a great saving of labor.
