MAPES COMPLETE MANURES. 
PREPARED SPECIALLY FOR 
POTATOES, CORN, VEGETABLES, TOBACCO, HOPS, ONIONS, WHEAT, RYE, GRASS, 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 Large 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 not 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: 
THE MAPES SPECIAL CROP MANURES 
FOUND TO BE 
Wheat, . 
Corn (shelled), 
Grass, 
Potatoes, 
35 to 45 bushels per acre. 
75 to 90 “ “ “ 
2 1-2 to 3 tons “ “ 
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.

The $25 goods are the MORE EXPENSIVE, thb $44 ooods a ice the cheaper. If both are rationally used. We 
are not now arguing for Specials ns against other Superphosphates, but for high grade goods, whether Specials 
or not, as against thmore expensive tow grade goods.. 
The main distinguishing features of the Mapes Complete Manures are: 
1. Found to be always up to Standard. 
2. Highest Standard Known. Supply Plant Food at the Cheapest Rates. 
3. Greatest certainty of profitable results ou varied soils and varied seasons. 
4. Complete feeding of crop at all stages of growth with 8oluble Food in varied 
forms. 
5. They Restore Worn-out Lands, bring up Poor Lands, and maintain, at Small 
Cost, good lands during heavy cropping.
