MATERIAL INTO MANURE, to be Called ‘ IMPROVED l’OUDRETTE ;’ 3. 
The PREPARATION Of "AMMONIATED SUPER-PIIOSPIIATE OF LIME;” a 
concentrated rich manure, being in its effects equal to guano,

terest and desiring to have the greater part of the shares of 
the capital stocks subscribed by farmers themselves, offers to 
any farmer or gardener who subscribes for shares, to have 
manure for his own use at 25 per cent, lower than the compa¬ 
ny’s market price.

phlet, containing the basis, terms and conditions on which

ment of expenses for fixtures; its working costs; and its in¬
