AMERICAN AGRICULTURIST 
ADVERTISEMENTS. 
A NEW FERTILIZER. 
T HE LODI MANUFACTURING COMPANY, (who have 
been manufacturing Poudrette for the last 14 years,) 
have, by a recently-discovered process, been enabled so com¬ 
pletely to disinfect Night Soil, as to present to the Agricul¬ 
tural World, that long sought after and greatly to be desired 
article, 
PURE NIGHT SOIL, DISINFECTED AND DRIED. 
This article differs from Poudrette, and every other article 
of manure made from human excrement, from the fact that 
it contains no mixture of foreign substance whatever, (except 
5 per cent, of calcined gypsum, which is used to retain any 
fugitive ammonia,) the sulphuretted hydrogen which is the 
offensive gas escaping from Night Soil, is taken from it by a 
peculiar process. 11 is, also, entirely separated from rubbish 
hot smaller than a pin’s head, and so concentrated, that its 
bulk is decreased one half by manufacture, yet, at the same 
time, none of its virtues are allowed to escape. The Lodi 
Manufacturing Company have selected the Chinese words 
designating dessicated night soil as the name for this article, 
viz. ; — 
TA-FEU, 
and offer it for sale under the following guarantees: 
1st.—That it is free from unpleasant odor, and contains 95 
per cent, of night soil concentrated, and 5 per cent, of cal¬ 
cined gypsum, and nothing else. 
2d.—That it cannot be surpassed by any other manure in 
the world, either In fertilizing power or in cheapness. 
3d.—That it is equal to Guano in the proportion of 4 pounds 
of Ta-feu to 3 pounds of Guano. That it is equal to any super¬ 
phosphate of lime now in market pound for pound on any 
crop, and is one-third cheaper than Guano, and twice as cheap 
as super-phosphate. 
4th.—It contains every kind of good necessary to the growth 
of plants, and is perfectly soluble in water, making, therefore, 
a splendid top-dresser on grass and grain. 
It is perfectly dry, and can be bagged or barrelled, and 
sent to any part of the United States. Price $20 per ton, of 
2,240 fbs., for any quantity over 10 tons: under that, $25. No 
charge will be made for cartage or package. 
Persons wishing to try it, can send us any amount, from $3 
upwards, and the exact number of pounds will be forwarded, 
with directions for use. 
We recommend it strongly on cabbage plants, turnips, 
wheat, grain and grass, either sowed or harrowed in, or as a 
top-dressing, after the grain is up. On cabbages and turnips 
it has already been tried with astonishing results, having 
doubled the size of cabbage plants in a week. 
From 300 to 500 fbs. per acre will be a first-rate dressing for 
grass in the fall, and for grain followed by grass; a table¬ 
spoonful is more than sufficient for a cabbage plant.

THE UNITED STATES REVIEW. 
A DEMOCRATIC MONTHLY, PUBLISHED AT 80 Nassau 
street, New-York, by LLOYD & BRAINARD, at $5 per 
annum, payable in advance. 
"In respect to politics, the Review is thoroughly democra¬ 
tic. Its tone is temperate, but firm. The articles are written 
with vigor and elegance, without any taint of the fashiona¬ 
ble fustian of the day. Its style is earnest, philosophic, and 
forcible,” etc., ect.— Washington Union. 
" The magazine literature of the month is more than 
usually interesting. In the first place stands the ‘ United 
States Review.’ In this magazine there is evidence of a high 
order of talent, elegance, and judgment,” etc., etc.—N. Y. 
Herald. 
“ The United States Review is devoted to the advocacy of 
Democratic policy, and the advancement of Democratic prin¬ 
ciples. Its conductor purposes to make it a book for the na¬ 
tional Democracy. Not the advocate of a section or a fac¬ 
tion—no 'Young America,’ or ‘ Old Fogyism,’ no North nor 
South ; but the whole party everywhere in our great country, 
its cardinal doctrines, its unity the beauty of our strength.”- 
Pennsylvanian. 
“Its articles are written with an ability, acandor, and elo¬ 
quence of style that defy criticism.”—Democrat, Chicago, Ill. 
“ The U. S. Review is destined to a position much needed, 
elucidating the true interests of the country and the party.” 
—National Democrat, N.Y. 
“ The tone, style, and temper of its articles are admirable. 
It discusses the great questions of the day with rare ability, 
in a tone dignified and courteous, and in a forcible and ele¬ 
gant style, exhibiting much information, good sense, and 
judgment.”—New-Hampshire Patriot. 
“The high character of the earlier numbers has been fully 
sustained by the residue of the series.”—Albany Argus, March 
10th, 1853, 
“The very book of Democratic Literature, and we advise 
our friends who desire to hear an exposition of our great 
principles, to lend their support to this publication.”—Ken¬ 
tucky Yeoman. 
“ The U. S. Review is a manly and dignified exponent of the 
great Democratic creed of the Union, and should he in the 
hands of every Democrat.”—Baltimore Argus. 
“Its articles are capital specimens of what American talent 
and genius can accomplish, in the finest style of critical and 
analytic essays.”—Democratic Free Press, Washington, N. C. 
“We do not like the politics of the work, etc. We shall be 
pardoned for wishing it an early suicide.’’—New-Yorlc Times, 
[Seward Whig.) 
“ We repeat our recommendation of the U. S. Review to the 
efficient support of the Southern people. There is a class of 
men at the North, of high ability, firm principles, and learn¬ 
ing, who have never, for a moment, yielded to the sectional 
outcry against the South, and these are the men who will con¬ 
trol the Review.”—Charleston Mercury. 
“There is no specious glitter or meretricious ornament 
about the Review, but each number presents a satisfactory 
instalment of sound thought and useful information.”—Rich¬ 
mond Enquirer. 
“The Review occupies the position of an exponent of the 
views and principles of the Democratic party of the nation, 
and most ably and faithfully is it doing its work.”—Savannah 
Daily Georgian. 48-51

These Machines have been in successful operation, in the 
hands of manufacturers and families, for the past two years, 
and in every case have given universal satisfaction. The 
Proprietors are now prepared to offer them to the public, with 
that increased confidence in their merits which the united 
testimony of their numerous customers has strengthened and 
confirmed. . 
These Machines are entirely different from any other, the 
principles on which they are made being exclusively our 
own. 
Among the advantages of this Machine over any others are 
the following: . , 
1. The simplicity of its construction, and the ease with 
which it can be kept in the most perfect order. 
2. The perfect manner with which the operator is enabled 
to stitch and sew the various kinds of work, from the finest 
linen to the coarsest cloths. , ... 
3. It particularly excels in the rapidity with which work 
can be executed; in that respect it has no equal. 
. The little power required to propel them, enabling even 
those of the most delicate constitution to use them without 
injury to their health. ...... 
We are now manufacturing a larger sized Machine, more 
particularly adapted to the sewing of leather, canvass bags, 
and the heavier kinds of cloths. 
An examination of our Machines is respectfully solicited 
at our Office, 343 Broadway. 37-49.
