We liave erected new works for the manufacture ol these 
goods, and now hope to avoid the disappointments experi¬ 
enced by our customers, in not being able to supply the 
rapid increased demand. And as to their merits, we can 
produce evidence that they are superior to any thing in the 
market, which tact our Horse Hay-Fork and Fixtures liave 
established at 22 State Fairs, where, in 15 months, they 
were awarded 37 First Premiums, and upward of 600 First 
Premiums at County Fairs. Ail the Premiums awarded at 
State Fairs were from actual test of goods. These facts are 
not equaled in the history of Agricultural Implements.

SIFT THE 
Iron-Clad Milk Pail. 
This is the greatest improvement in the way of Pails that 
lias ever been offered to the public, as it is well known 
that the sides of a pail will outwear two or three bottoms 
put on the old way. Therefore this bottom makes a pail 
worth three times as much as any other one ever made. The 
bottom, being convex and set on small rests, is kept entirely 
out of the dirt, which does away with all trouble in clean¬ 
ing. Be sure and see them before purchasing for the coming 
season. Forsalebyall Tinners. At wholesale by the IRON¬

LODI MANUFACTURING COMPANY’S 
Common and Double Refined Poudrette at retail and 
wholesale. This valuable fertilizer has been manufactured 
the past season with more than usual care, and having an 
abundance of pure night-soil, it lias been used without stint 
in its manufacture. We give but few of the hundreds of 
testimonials received from those who have used it the past 
season. 
E. W. Christie, of Haverstraw, N. l r , under date of Oct. 
20th, 1870, says: “ I used the Double Refined .Poudrette on 
Corn, Potatoes, and Cabbage. I never saw better corn 01 - 
more on tiie acre than I raised this year. I am satisfied the 
use of the Poudrette increased the yield fully one-third. It 
gives the plant an early start, makes it grow rapidly, giving 
less work to cultivate it; I also find it a sure preventive of 
the Cut, or Wire-worm, which often destroys the young corn 
or cuts the roots. It, more than doubled my yield of pota¬ 
toes and cabbages.” 
R. D. Pearce, of Squam Village, N. J., says in a letter da¬ 
ted Sept. 20tli, 1870: “ I used the Double Refined Poudrette 
mostly on corn. The corn came up ill a superior, healthy 
condition, and continued to grow faster and more stalky 
than that planted in the same field with best barn-yard 
compost.. I am well satisfied my corn is twice better than 
the cost of the Poudrette. I also applied it to pumpkins 
and other vines with much better results than with coin- 
post.”
