Some of the largest truckers are using 150 tons and upwards a season of the Mapes Manure for Potatoes, Cabbages, 
Early Truck, Spinach, Lettuce, Celery, Onions, etc. 
Some of these now use no stable manure beyond the supply from the few horses they keep, although formerly they were 
heavy purchasers until convinced after an experience of eight or ten years of the greater economy and efficiency of the 
Mapes Manure. They claim the great advantages of EARLIER MATUllfTY and SUPERI *R QUALITY OF PRODUCT.

IN 
SHEEP. 
There Is probably no branch of 
farming or stock-raising that Is 
so sure to return a prodt as the 
Hock of sheep, and there Is prob¬ 
ably no branch so much neg¬ 
lected. A well-kept tlock would 
restore the fertility to many run 
down farms, and put their own- 
eis on the road to prosperity. 
But every man doesn’t know how to care for sbe^p, 
though be can easily learn. “ Sheep Farming” Is a 
practical treatise on sheep, their menagement and 
diseases. It tells In plain language bow to select 
and breed them, and how to care for them. It Is a 
little book worth three times Its cost to any farmer 
who raises sheep. Sent postpaid for 25 cents.

THE MAPES FRUIT AND VINE MANURE. 
For Grapes for Market and Wine; Currants, Strawberries and all Small Fruits, Peach, Apple 
and Pear Orchards. 
Vineyards that have received nothing but the Mapes Fruit and Vine Manure since setting out over 10 years ago, have 
proved to be the healthiest, and to produce FRUIT EARLIER in maturity, FINER FLAVORED and FINER COLORED, and 
to yield more largely than where stable manure was used. 
The Mapes Manures have been used many years and almost exclusively by the growers on the North River, whose 
methods are being described in The Rural New-Yorker, under the title “ Fertilizers and Fruit.” 
_O cLo MnnoR Frnit Manures were sold in the first six months of this year, 1893. Address
