mTO. 1 SUPERPHOSPHATE OF LIME.—THIS VALUABLE 
fertilizer has been used for several years in England 
and other parts of Europe, and, next to Guano, holds the 
highest rank in popularity, and the extent to which it is used 
among farmers. Its introduction in this country has been 
more recent; but the progress it has made in the estimation 
of the public has not been less marked or successful than 
abroad. It is now extensively used throughout the Northern 
States, after a full trial and investigation of its merits; and 
it is rapidly becoming, like its predecessor, Guano, a favorite 
manure at the South and West. 
It is composed of crushed or ground bones, decomposed by 
the addition of about one fifth their weight of sulphuric 
acid, diluted with water, to which is added a due proportion 
of guano and sulphate of ammonia. The latter is the active 
and one of the most efficient agents in the best Peruvian 
Guano. 
It is suited to any soil in which there is not already a full 
Supply of the phosphates, which is seldom the case. AH crops 
are benefited by its application. 
F or sale in large or small quantities, in bags of 150 lbs. each. 
No charge for packages. All bags will be branded “ C. B. De 
Burg. No. 1 Superphosphate of Lime.”

less in large. It is a capital manure for peas, strawberries, 
&c., and all garden vegetables. Apply by letter or person¬

STOCK. 
S MPROVED STOCK OF ALL KINDS. — HAVING HAD 
great experience in breeding and rearing fine stock for 
the past twenty years, I offer my services to my friends to 
procure it of the best and most reliable kinds. As much no¬ 
tice as convenient is at all times desirable previous to pur¬ 
chasing, as it takes time to make good selections. Early in 
August or September is the best time to purchase for the 
South. 
Short Horn or Durham cattle, Devons, Herefords, Alderney 
or Jersey and Ayrshires. Long-wooled Sheep—the Cotswold, 
Oxford, Leicester, Bakewell, and Lincoln. Mutton Sheep— 
the Southdown. Fine-wooled Sheep—such as the Saxon, Span 
ish, and French Merino. 
The public should be on their guard in purchasing improved 
stock, as many animals are palmed off upon the unsuspecting 
and ignorant, which are spurious.
