STOGKBRIDGE 
MA 1 MTJRBS 
For 1S80. 
Some years ago tho Stock bridge Manures were only 
known to a few farmers in the Connecticut Valley. 
Now they arc so extensively used in different parts 
of the country as to require two large factories, one in 
New York and one in Boston to manufacture them. 
Tliis increase shows what farmers think of good fer¬ 
tilizers, and is uot only due to the fact that they are 
reliable, wall.made, and high-grad o manures, but also 
to tho fact that fanners have 
FOUND THEM PROFITABLE TO USE. 
Now that corn, aud other Tarm produce is bringing 
such good prices, we anticipate that farmers will in¬ 
vest still more largely in our fertilizers 
Besides the Htoekbridge Manures, we manufacture 
several high-grade Phosphates, ami deal in first class 
chemicals of all kinds. Farmers who intend to use 
Fertilizers of any kind, should 
Send for our New Pamphlet, 
which contains a large amount of reliable informa¬ 
tion, beside prices for 1S&U.

SWIVEL PLOW. 
THE ONLY PERFECT SWIVEL PLOW. 
Walpole, N. H., April 13. 1878. 
Higoanum Mk'o Pomp. Yon wanted to know how 
I liked the Charter Oak Swivel Plow' No. 180. I would 
say that I have used ft on all kinds of land, and think 
it the best plow I ever saw or used. I have used seven 
or eight different kinds of swivel plows and this beats 
them all in doing good work, and draws much easier. 
I would uot exchange it for any plow-1 ever saw.
