POWELL’S PREPARED CHEMICALS 
for composting fertilizers, are worthy of investigation 
by every farmer arouud Baltimore, where they are 
manufactured by the patentees. The Brown Chemical 
Companv, Baltimore, Md. They have come into general 
use, proving in nearly every case to be equal in crop- 
production to the high-priced phosphates. A formula 
of Powell’s Prepared Chemicals, which is enough to 
make a ton of fertilizer, costs $12.00. We advise our 
readers to write to the above concern and get a circular 
about them. See advertisement. 
THE CVCIiE CUTTER, manufactured by the 
NEW YORK PLOW CO., is same as used by 
August Goffart (the inventor of ensilage) since 1S73, with 
certain valuable improvements. It cuts with great 
rapidity, short or long, as desired, and with less power 
than any other cutter made in this country. We have 
also a “Treatise on Ensilage,” a sequel to our transla¬ 
tion of Goffart’s, which contains later directions, adapted 
to South and North ; mailed free for stamp, or to inter¬ 
ested visitors at 55 Beekman Street, New York.
