LASTING EFFECTS OF ARTIFICIAL 
FERTILIZERS. 
The geueral opinion is that, artificial fertilizers are very 
evanescent in their effects, and are exhausted in one year. 
It appears that this opinion is unfounded, as might well be 
expected. If everything that is soluble should be carried 
from the soil by the rain in one year, the fields would soon 
be barren. Where OOO pounds per acre of potato fertilizer 
was sown on potatoes last year, a crop of rye, which follow¬ 
ed the potatoes, is now in excellent condition, without any 
other manuring, and every spot where a bag stood on the 
field, and around which some of the fertilizer was spilled, 
can now be seen very conspicuously by the enormous 
growth of the rye. In these places it is twice as high and 
thick as elsewhere, and if left to ripen would probably lodge. 
It is to be cut for soiling cows, and will give a heavy yield. 
Thus the investment made in this fertilizer last season, is 
giving now its SECOND DIVIDEND. 
The Mapes Formula & Peruvian Guano Co., 
Invented by E.N. Horsford, late Prof, in Harvard University, i 
It is better and Healthier than ordinary Bak¬ 
ing Powder, Cream Tartar or Veast. 
The cost of raising Bread, Biscuit, etc., with it 
is only about half tis much as by ordinary Bak¬ 
ing Powder, and the result is much better. 
It restores the nutritious elements which are 
taken from tlie flour in bolting. No ordinary 
Baking Powder or anything else used for rais¬ 
ing bread does this. 
Universally used and recommended by promi¬ 
nent Physicians. 
Put up in packages containing 11 ounces, just 
enough for 2-5 pounds of flour. 
If your grocer has not got it, send a three cent stamp to 
the manufacturers for a sample.
