Soluble 
Pacific Guano. 
Haying taken the General Selling Agency of above Guano, 
•the value of which has already been demonstrated on crops 
of cotton, corn, tobacco, sugar-cane, wheat, roots, and gar¬ 
den vegetables—the Company’s sales having exceeded the 
enormous aggregate of 40,000 tons in a single season— we 
now offer the same for sale with entire confidence as to its 
merits. No fertilizer ever introduced in this country has 
undergone severer tests, or come out of them with its char¬ 
acter as a first-class, reliable fertilizer more thoroughly es¬ 
tablished. In consequence of the satisfactory results of 
the.se very complete tests, this Guano has acquired a repu¬ 
tation equal to that formerly enjoyed by Peruvian Guano. 
It is rich in Bone Phosphate of Linif\ finely ground (a 
large_proportion of which is immediately soluble), Am¬ 
monia? and Potash? besides other ingredients valuable 
as plant-food. Soluble Pacific Guano is manufactured at the 
Company’s Works, Woods Holl, Mass., and Charleston, S. 
'C., under the supervision of competent chemists, and none 
offered for sale is genuine unless having the Company’s 
brand, and the names of John S. Reese & Co., Baltimore, or 
of the undersigned, branded on each sack. This Guano is 
ottered for sale by our Agents throughout the United States.

MATFIELD FERTILIZER. 
This is the only fertilizer containing all the soil elements 
found in each crop. Analysis will prove that they con¬ 
tain a larger percentage of plant-food elements 
than we claim for them by the labels placed on each pack¬ 
age. Six years’ experience has conclusively established the 
above fact. Send for circular. A few good agents wanted.

^ What Farmers Want. 
They want Pure Ground Bone' 
Why—because it contains those 
elements taken from the soil in 
the grain and carried away, thus 
impoverishing the land. Pure 
Premium Bone, made of dry, 
hard, unsteamed bones, supplies 
just this waste, as every farmer 
can learn by practical experience 
at a trifling cost. Send for a full 
explanation of how it works.

HAWORTH’S 
WIRE CHECK ROWER. 
Acknowledged by all farmers to he THE BEST AND 
ONLY PERFECTLY SUCCESSFUL Wire Check Rower. 
Will plant FIVE ACRES more a day than any other, as the 
Wire is not removed from the machine in planting the en¬ 
tire field. Eleven years’ use has demonstrated the fact that 
the only successful way to use a rope or wire line is for the 
machine to transfer it into position to plant the next row. 
Do not buy a Wire Check Rower unless the line crosses the 
machine, as it will last twice as long as a wire run on one 
side, which must be dragged into position regardless of ob¬ 
structions met as the planter crosses the field, and which 
causes friction, inaccurate checking, and breaking of the 
wire. In our Check Rower the elasticity of the wire and its 
large curve in passing over the machine, prevents a particle 
of bending or displacement in the wire, such as occurs in 
Check Rowers where the line is dragged into the pulley at 
an angle and high tension, and both bent and displaced as it 
enters the pulley. Dragging the line into position also 
causes canting, or lopping, of the planter, by which one row 
is planted too deep and the other too shallow. Our ROPE 
CHECK ROWERS are too well and favorably known to 
call for any extended notice. For full description of our 
WIRE CHECK ROWER and the three styles of ROPE 
CHECK ROWERS which we manufacture, write for a cir¬ 
cular.
