Patented Dec. 12,1854, June 22,1858, May 27,1862, Jan. 27,1863. 
This most convenient and simple Cheese Vat has been in 
use more than nine years. Several thousand have been sold, 
and their reputation is well known in all the great dairy sec¬ 
tions of the country. 
It has been diligently improved, to embrace every con¬ 
venience wanted by the dairyman, and to make it simple, 
cheap, and durable. 
We call attention to the improvements made within the 
last two or three years, for regulating the heating of the milk 
and scalding the curd, and for supplying hot water, and the 
very simple and perfect arrangement, by which these are 
accomplished. 
Some new improvements have been added the present sea¬ 
son. One of which is a measure or scale* to show the number 
of gallons of milk in the vat. This is one of those little but 
valuable improvements, which shows the manufacturer is 
alive to the interests and wants of his customers. 
We pack them to go any distance with safety. 
Dairymen in any part of the country, by ordering of us, 
will get all the improvements and conveniences for cheese 
making, that are known and in use in the great dairying 
counties of New-York and Ohio. 
Roe’s Patent EXPANSION CHEESE HOOP. We sold a 
large number of these hoops the past season, and learn the 
dairymen are well pleased with them. A single hoop makes 
five sizes, and expands to lift off the cheese. For further 
particulars send for circular. ROE & BLAIR,

Attention is called to the following letter from a farmer 
Farmington, N. H., October 9,1862. 
James R. Dky, Esq., President Lodi Manufacturing Co. 
For several years past I have used as a fertilizer, the Lodi 
Manufacturing Co.’6 Poudrette. I commenced in 1859. I 
then had a tenant carrying on my farm upon shares. He 
agreed to use such artificial means as I should furnish free 
of expense to him, but he had but little faith in anything but 
barn-yard manure. I purchased some Poudrette. He took 
it from the freight-house; opened it; came to me with eyes 
wide open, and said, “you have got cheated, this stuff 
is nothing but dirt.” I told him, “I supposed I had; it 
was nothing new; I was in the habit of getting cheated, but 
as it cost him nothing, I wanted him to use it.” 
We had a piece of poor, sandy loam land, which he plant¬ 
ed with potatoes, without manure. He put Poudrette in the 
hills eight rows, then omitted eight rows, and then put lime 
in the hill, as he had a mind to try that. 
The result was, that where the Poudrette was put, thepo- 
tatoes came up three or four days before the others. The 
tops were twice the size during the season, and at harvest¬ 
ing we measured two lots of each, one of which the Poudrette 
gave twice the quantity of potatoes, and the other in the 
proportion of five to three. 
The lime had no perceptible effect. 
We had a piece of corn land, sandy loam, (my tillage lane, 
is sandy and gravelly loam,) the corn had a liberal dressing, 
sav ten cords of barn dung to the acre, spread upon grass 
land, a part ploughed in the fall before, the balance in the 
spring. The tenant prepared a compost to put in the hill, a 
mixture of night soil, hog manure and loam well mixed, se¬ 
veral times shovelled over, and well incorporated together. 
This was put in the hill. In eight rows through the middle 
of the piece, this was omitted and Poudrette was substituted 
instead. The result was, the Poudrette brought the corn up 
sooner, of a better color, and at the end of two weeks after 
it came up, nearly twice as large, and it maintained it a 
head and shoulder above the other during the season. At 
harvesting, we measured the corn, and where we got five 
bushels with the compost, we had 6ix bushels with the 
Poudrette. 
This satisfied me, and convinced my unbelieving tenant 
that it was something besides dirt. I have used it with 
whatever I plant, ever since, and shall continue to do so, as 
long as it maintains its character, and is furnished at reason¬ 
able prices. We sometimes think we save an entire crop of 
corn dv the use of Poudrette, in case of early frost, as it 
brings the crop to maturity at least a week earlier. 
There has been an increasing demand here 6ince it has 
been introduced, and from my own observation, and the in¬ 
formation of others, I think it does as well on upland soils, 
ns upon sandy loam. I have not been so particular since my 
first experiment, but every year 1 left a lew rows so as to be 
sure that it maintains its character. The present year there 
is a very marked difference in the appearance of a few rows 
left without the Poudrette, in a piece of corn not yet har¬ 
vested’. The appearance of your Poudrette to one not ac¬ 
customed to it, is not very flattering. I will relate an anec¬ 
dote on this point. In I860 I prevailed upon a neighbor to 
try a couple of barrels, for which, I think, he paid me $4.20. 
He informed me afterwards, that he took lr into his field all 
alone, and opened it: said he, I said to myself, if some one 
will come along and give me a dollar, lie shall have both 
barrels. No one coming along, he tried it, and has used it 
every season since, and thinks very highly of its fertilizing 
qualities. Some of my neighbors have said to me, that they 
thought it had been worth to them $5 per barrel. I have used 
other fertilizers, such as Guano, Superphosphate, &c., most 
of which are beneficial, but none come fairly up to the Pou¬ 
drette. One particular advantage Poudrette has over other 
fertilizers is, that the 6mell is nol offensive, and it will not 
kill the seed. 
And again, it is not 60 expensive. My method is, to put 
it in tiie hill with the seed. A quart, by measure is 
ample for ten bills, at which rate a barrel will manure a thou¬ 
sand hills. I have known it to do well when a less quantity 
was used. I think nothing else should be put with it. It. is 
a light matter to put, It in the hill with the hand, as a person 
can drop it faster than a boy can drop corn. And it does 
not require the large hole necessary to put in dung or com 
post, and is a protection against the wire worm. 
Respectfully yours, 
GEO. L. YYHITEHOUSE.
