JIKSSB8. E. & J. C. WILLIAMS, Proprietors of the 
Chestnut Hitt Nurseries, Montclair, N. J., December 
27,1881, write:—" We have kept no record that will 
show la flgures 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 use of the Mapes Complete manures alone, and 
the yield* have luvarl&bly been more than satisfac¬ 
tory. We have found It iiupimibte to obtain smooth 
potatoes on-our soil bit using bant parti manure, but 
since we have been using the Mapes Potato Manure 
we have experienced no further trouble. The fact 
that we continue to use au 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."

TOBACCO ANO CORN. 
Messrs. ,T. F„ WIGHT & SON, North Hatfield, Mass, 
write, November It, ISSt j—" Wo have used the Mapes 
Tobacco Fertilizer for tho past three years oil one 
acre of poor land, and nan say that 1,6 m ids. 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 at wavs been able to obtain a higher price for 
the fertilized tobacco than for the manured tobacco. 
Wealso used the MaposCorn Fertiliser, forty dollars’ 
worth on four acres. and harvested 5W bushels of ears 
of sound corn—soil light, and has been cropped with 
corn and rye for the past twenty years, and has re¬ 
ceived no manure for ten years." 
E.vrrnct from ilit* AMERICAN AGRICUL¬ 
TURIST, February, 1S82. 
“ Among tlm makers of fertilizers ‘ the Mapes For¬ 
mula and Peruvian Guano 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 tlm returns of some thirty an¬ 
alyses, made at different, experiment stations. The 
samples were In part sent by farmers and in part 
were taken by representatives of the Btatlons from 
stock on sale. In 
no case did the percentages of the 
VALUABLE CONSTITUENTS TAM. SHORT OF THE AMOUNT 
claimko. The valuation at the stations, as calculated 
from the analysis, averaged for ths whole 
$1.15PER TON HIGHERTH AN THE SEL LING PRICE 
Some samples are worth rat her more and some a lit¬ 
tle less, but the average is as above staled. It is but 
proper to add that the results obtained by the to¬ 
bacco growers In Connecticut, the growers of aspara¬ 
gus, cauliflower uml other ‘tru k" Oh Lung Islund, 
and the potato and wheat farmers of New Jersey, all 
show that the plants |lpd in the fertilizers the value 
Indicated by the chemists.”
