AMERICAN AGRICULTURIST 
PROSPECTUS OF VOLUME ELEVENTH OF THE 
AMERICAN AGRICULTURIST. 
The American Agriculturist will hereafter be 
published weekly, and contain 16 large quarto 
pages, embellished with numerous engravings. 
Mr. A. B. Allen, so long favorably kqown as 
principal editor of the Monthly Agriculturist, will 
be the superintending Editor, and Mr. 0. Judd, A. M., 
distinguished for his scientific and practical attain 
ments, will be his associate. They will be assisted 
by a highly intelligent corps of agricultural writers, 
all of whom are either practical farmers, planters 
stock-breeders, gardeners, or fruit-growers. 
No pains or expense will be spared to make this 
periodical a Standard Agricultural Work, which 
will convey to its readers weekly a large amoimt 
of information highly valuable to all interested in 
the culture of the soil. 
This is the only weekly periodical of its kind 
published in the United States; and it will possess 
peculiar facilities for furnishing early reports of the 
produce, cattle, and grain-markets. These reports 
alone will be worth more than the cost of the paper 
to its subscribers. 
The Editors are supplied with all the leading 
Agricultural Publications of this and foreign coun¬ 
tries, and the readers of the Agriculturist may look 
confidently to its pages for all new and established 
improvements in modes of farming, stock-breeding, 
&c., &c. While adhering to scientific accuracy, our 
aim will be to make science entirely subservient to 
practice. 
Our paper will be furnished to subscribers for 
less than four cents a number of sixteen quarto 
pages, and to large clubs for less than two and a 
half cents. Every number will contain suggestions 
for the treatment of soils, crops, stock, Ac., which 
will often be worth to the reader more than the 
cost of the paper for a year.

July 7,1852—is now in the full tide of successful operation; its 
veins are opened, being worked and highly productive; its

FERTILIZERS. 
1B.TO. 1 SUPERPHOSPHATE OF LIME.-THIS VALUABLE 
lv! 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 successiul than 
abroad. It is now extensively used throughout the Northern 
States, after a full trial and investigation of Us 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 hones, 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. All crops 
are benefited by its application. 
For 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.” 
Also, Agricultural and Horticultural Implements of all
