NOW ES THE BEST TIME. 
If this meets the eye of any person who is con¬ 
templating moving to the west, and who is de¬ 
terred from doing so by the marvellous storieB 
which have gained credence about the Nebraska 
grasshopper troubles, it will be well for him to 
remember that even if all the stories were true, 
the number of people said to be in destitution 
would only amount to five per cent of the popu¬ 
lation of the State. Hence it may be seen how 
absurd are the reports circulated as to the whole 
State beiug in distress, &e. 
The grasshoppers did visit the section through 
which the Burlington & Missouri River Railroad 
runs; they carried away the corn, and so worked 
havoc among the settlers, many of whom having 
come into the country but recently, and being de¬ 
pendent in a great measure upon their first crop, 
were frightened away ; and their want of courage 
affords the best possible opportunity for obtain¬ 
ing some of the finest tracts of land in the State 
at Dottom figures. 
Now is the time to come, therefore, to secure 
good bargains.

Double Refined Poudrette for sale in 
lots to suit customers. This article is sold 
for half the price of other fertilizers, and is 
cheaper for Cotton, Corn, Tobacco, and 
Vegetables, than any other in the market. 
Price, delivered on board in New York City, 
$25 per ton. I ask attention to the follow¬ 
ing testimonials; 
Thomas W. Latham, Providence Co., R. I., writes: “I 
would rather have your Double-refined Poudrette than any 
phosphate I ever used. Where I used it on Potatoes it was 
lar ahead of any other manure.” 
Mr. Howard, New London Co.. Ct„ writes: “ I can fully 
recommend your Double-Refined Poudrette as being the 
best fertilizer in use for Corn, Potatoes, and Tobacco. I 
have tested it side by side with other manures, and the Pou¬ 
drette lias always proved the best.” 
Mr. Allanson, Oneida Co., N. Y., writes: “For several 
years past I have used your Poudrette for Corn, Potatoes, 
and Garden Vegetables, and I have realized on the first crop 
one hundred per cent for all the money invested. 
S. J. Kelly, Burlington Co., N. J., writes: “I used 
Double-refined Poudrette on Rutabaga Turnips alongside 
of Peruvian Guano and Hen Manure. Where the Pou¬ 
drette was applied, the increase was thirty per cent over 
the others.” 
Milton Strong, Suffolk Co., N. Y„ writes: “ I gave Pou¬ 
drette a thorough trial this year, using it upon Corn, Pota¬ 
toes, Lima Beans, Tomatoes, ami Vines, and I have never 
raised better crops. My Corn will yield 100 bushels of ears 
per acre, and my garden was the surprise and admiration of 
all who saw it.” 
Henky T. Hokton, Cheshire Co., N. H., writes: “I find, 
from experiments made last year, the Double-refined Pou¬ 
drette is the cheapest fertilizer to use on Tobacco. I put it 
beside Peruvian Guano with equal cost of both, and the 
Tobacco was 30 per cent better where 1 used Poudrette.”

The large annual increase of the sales of these Standa rd

dom from adulteration, with every particle available for fer¬ 
tilizing, and the low price at which they are sold make it for

Peruvian Guano. 
In Large or Small Quantities. 
Last year I sold gequine Guano at the same price as 
charged by the Agents of the Peruvian Government, adding 
a very small commission, as a compensation for my services. 
This year, owing to the more liberal discount allowed to 
purchasers of large quantities, I am enabled to sell not only 
at the same price, without commission, in lots of 1 to 5 tons, 
but even cheaper, when in quantities of 6 tons and upward. 
Parties iu want of small quantities will find it economical 
to club together, and buy in lots of ten tons, on which there 
is a saving in price and cartage.

THE KEARNEY CHEMICAL WORKS HAVE CON¬ 
CLUDED TO OFFER THEIR CELEBRATED 
AZOTIN 
at retail in lots to suit consumers, for the purpose of more 
generally introducing to public notice tins extraordinary 
cheap and powerful Manure. It is not a NEW THING—For 
four years it lias been used in this Country and in England, 
by manufacturers of high grade Super-Phosphates, as an 
Ammoniate superseding Peruvian Guano almost entirely on 
account of cheapness and safety. For while it contains as 
large a percentage of Ammonia as Guano now imported 
from Peru, it is in a different form, not being caustic and 
injurious to plants or roots with which it may come in con¬ 
tact. We claim to have the unqualified endorsement of the 
leading Chemists in the country, as also of the manufactur¬ 
ers of the best and highest grade Super Phosphates, and 
refer to the letters published in our pamphlet, sent free to 
anv address furnished ns. 
We will sell from 1 Bag to 100, at $50.00 per ton of 2,000 
lbs. for quantities exceeding 500 lbs., delivered free on board 
vessel or rail-road in New York City. A guaranteed Analy¬ 
sis sent with every bill of sale. Terms Cash.
