miO. 1 SUPERPHOSPHATE OP LIME.-THIS VALUABLE 
Ini 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 hitter 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, whicli 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 
kinds ; Field and Garden Seeds, in great variety; No. 1 Peru¬ 
vian Guano, Bone-dust, Plaster of Paris, Poudrette, Ac.

Restoring, and Beautifying the Hair, and, unlike most prepa¬ 
rations designed for the same objects, it is free from all grease, 
so that its application cannot soil the most delicate fabric. 
As an eradicator of Dandruff, it is unequalled, while its infal¬ 
libly in cases of headache, easing the most violent in a few 
moments, cannot fail to commend it to universal appreciation.

gists and fancy stores throughout the city. The depot for its

5 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, Spa n 
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.
