These Manures are More Certain and Cheaper than Purchased Farm Manure. They are used by many large truck growers to the exclusion of Stable Manure. 
From the “FARMAND HOME," April 15 th, 1888; 
We do not think that anyone will dispute that 
the Mapes Manures are of the highest standard 
quality. While their price is rather higher than 
that of many other fertilizers, the real cost of 
the actual plant food furnished is not higher, and 
as the goods are sold only for cash, the plant food 
in the Mapes Manures is frequently sold lower 
than in some of its competitors. The Manes Com¬ 
pany do not use any rock phosphates in their 
manures, supplying the phosphoric acid wholly 
from bone. The constant use year after year of 
these fertilizers by the same farmers, including 
some L of the most successful agriculturists in the 
whole 1 country, is the best practical orqqf_of 
their character and staying qualities.

| From the “INDEPENDENT ,” April 12 th, 1888; 
u The Mapes Manures are the highest grade made, 
and by the Reports ot the State Agricultural Experi¬ 
ment Stations are the CHEAPEST to the tarmer.” 
From “AMERICAN AGRICULTURIST” : 
•tliir own experience with various commercial fer¬ 
tilizers has convinced us that with judicious use ot the 
Mapes Manures w orn out lands can be RESTORED TO 
FERTILITY QUICKER A1VID WITH LESS EXPENSE, 
than in any other way.’-i

From E. S. CARMAN , “RURALNEW-JORKER'\

near it as any manure can be expected to do.”

MR. CHAS. H> WELLS, of Bristol Co., Mass., writes: I have been rather prejudiced in 
favor of a New York brand of special fertilizers, having seen them extensively advertised. 
Your agents did not keep them, however, but recommended the Stockbridge, which I con¬ 
cluded to try. But my faith in the New York brand was so strong, I sent there and bought 
double the quantity that I did of the Stockbridge. On two-thirds of the piece I put the New 
York brand, and upon the other third I put the Stockbridge. I then ran the rows right through 
both, putting the same quantity of fertilizer per rod upon each piece, and, so far as I know, the 
conditions for the two fertilizers were exactly the same. At harvest I was careful to measure 
each kind separately, and the following is the result:

The Stockbridge was better in every case. In the above estimate the small potatoes are not 
counted; only the marketable ones are taken into account. The fertilizers were applied 1500 
pounds to the acre, each kind. Not a bad showing for a wet season.

This Cultivator has the rear ends of the beams pivoted to a Cross-head, to which the 
Shovel Standards are attached and a secondary beam or rod pivoted to the coupling In 
front, and to the Cross-head in the rear, by whicli the Shovels are carried parallel with the 
a . wlla tever may be the position of them in being moved sidewise. The springs at the front end of 
the beams supports them when in use, and enables the operator to move them easily from side to side 
and assists in raising when he wishes to hook them up, while turning at the end of the row. We attach 
these Beams also to our Riding and Tongneless Cultivators. This Cultivator has no equal in 
he market, and can not fail to be appreciated bv any farmer who sees It. We also manufacture the
