THE 
MAPES COMPLETE MANURES 
PREPARED SPECIALLY FOR 
WHEAT, RYE, GRASS, VEGETABLES, POTATOES, CORN, TOBACCO, HOPS, ONIONS, ORCHARDS, SMALL FRUITS, ORANGES, PINEAPPLES. ETC., ETC. 
These Manures are Composed of only Materials of the Highest Grade and Best Quality. They Contain no MAKE-WEIGHTS or INFERIOR FORMS 
of So-called Plant Food, Leather, Vegetable Matter, or Insoluble Forms of Nitrogen. No Rock Phosphates Used. 
Western Farmers Can Effect a Largs Saving in Cost of Freight in The Mapes Manures Owing to their High Concentration. 
RESTORING POOR LANDS. 
Some of the unprecedentedly large crops grown with the Mapes Manures at the 
Rural Experiment Grounds are known to the readers of the Rural New Yorker, 
but it may njt be generally known that by the exclusive use of THE MAPES MAN¬ 
URES many poor farms have been brought up to condition of high fertility, and in 
the meantime large remunerative crops have been grown every year. 
Farms that formerly produced, under an ordinary system of manuring, wheat at 
rate of 16 to 20 bushels per acre; Grass, 1 to 1 1-2 tons per acre; Corn, 30 to 40 bush¬ 
els (shelled) per acre; Potatoes, 80 to 100 bushels per acre are now producing by the 
exclusive use of The Mapes Complete Manures—average yearly dressing 500 to 600 
pounds per acre, as follows: 
Wheat.35 to 45 bushels per acre. 
Corn (shelled), . . . . . • 75 to 90 ** 
Grass,. . ..... 2 1-2 to 3 tons “ “ 
Potatoes, ... .... 275 to 450 bushels “ 
These yields are obtained on fields of 20 acres and upwards, and entire farms of 
100 acres brought up to equal degree of fertility. 
Farms that through continued injudicious cropping had become exhausted have 
been brought up to the condition of the best farms in the neighborhood, and profitable 
crops of corn, oats, potatoes, wheat, grass, etc., grown each year from the start.
