TOBACCO AND CORN. 
Messrs. J. E. WIGHT & SON', North Hatfield, Mass, 
write, November 11, 1881We have used tho Slupes 
Tobacco Fertilizer for the past three years on one 
acre of poor land, and cun My that l.OuO Its. per acre 
has produced better tobacco than where we have 
used eight cords of stable manure to the acre. We 
sweat our tobacco and sell to the manufacturers, and 
have ulwavs been able to Obtain u hUlher price for 
the fertilized tobacco than for the manured tobacco. 
We also used the Mapes Corn Fertilizer, forty dollars’ 
worth on four acres, and harvested (iOO bushels of ears 
of sound corn—soil light, and has been cropped with 
corn aud rye for the past twenty years, arul has re¬ 
ceived no mnuure l'or teu years.” 
POTATOES AND CORN. 
Messrs. E- & J. C. WILLIAMS, Proprietors of the 
Chestnut Hill Nurseries, Montclair, N. J., December 
27,1881, write“ We have kept no record that will 
show In figures the comparative results from the use 
of the Mapes Complete Manures. For several years, 
however, our potato and corn crops have been grown 
by the usu of the Mapes Complete manures alone, and 
the yields have Invariably been more tliuu (atlwfne 
tory. We have found It rsljHMitwta pNarn WlWWA 
potatoes on our noil by using hai-rt-yvi/vi manure, but 
since we have been using the Rapes Potato Manure 
we have experienced no further trouble. The fact 
that we continue to use an Increased quantity of the 
Mapes Manures each year, Is good evidence that we 
think well of them, and we unhesitatingly recom¬ 
mend them to farmers.”

Extract from the AMERICAN AtiBICUL- 
TI'RIHT, February, 1882. 
“Among the makers of fertilizers * the Mapes For¬ 
mula and Peruvian Uuauo Company ’ early took the 
ground that the proper way to build up a reputation 
was to court analyses of their fertilizers. We have 
recently been shown the ret urns of some thirty an- 
AbYKEs, made ut different experiment stations. The 
samples were In part 9ent by farmers and In part 
were taken b.v representatives of the stations from 
stock on sale. In 
NO CASE DID THE PERCENTAGES OF THE 
VAEUABI.K CONSMTUE.YTS PALE SHORT OF THE AMOUNT 
claimro. The valuation at the stations, as calculated 
from the analysis, averaged for the whole 
$1.15 PER TON HIG H KR THAN TH E SELLING PRICE 
Some samples arc worth rather more and some u lit¬ 
tle less, but the averuge Is as above stated. It Is but 
proper to add that the results obtained by the to¬ 
bacco growers In Connecticut, the growers of asuara 
gun, eaullllowcr and other’truck' on long Island, 
ami the potato and wheat farmers of New Jersey, all 
show that, the plants hud III the fertilizers the value 
indicated by the chemists.”

A firmer can plow two acres more corn per day
