THE MAPES CORN MANURE. 
(>00 to 800 pounds per acre broadcast on poor, thin “Plain” iands in Connecti¬ 
cut and Massachusetts have not only produced paying crops from the start, but with 
annual applications of the Mapes Manures, at the end of eight years of successive pay¬ 
ing crops of Corn, Potatoes, Oats and Grass the land found to be in condition equal to 
the average best lands. 
RESTORING WORN-OUT LANDS. 
The editor of the American Agriculturist 
states February, 1887; 
‘‘Our own experience has convinced us that 
with judicious use of the Mapes Manures, 
worn out lands maybe restored to fertility 
quicker and with less expense , than in any 
other way,” 
The editor of the Massachusetts Ploughman 
states March 21st, 1887: 
“Poor land treated with the Mapes Com 
Manure can be economically and profitably 
brought into good condition for permanent 
grass land. The land, so treated after each 
crop is taken off, is in better condition than it 
was before. The Mapes Corn Manure im¬ 
proves the laud.” 
Official Analysis by the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station, 1887: 
AMMONIA, 4.78 per cent. PHOSPHORIC ACID, SOL.TJBL.jE AND 
AVAILABLE, 9.34 per cent. PHOSPHORIC ACID, TOTAL, 12.42 
per cent. POTASH, G.77 per cent. 
The average of the analyses of this manure for five years past by the stations of 
Connecticut, Mew Jersey, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts have been fully as high as 
the above. No other Manure made equals it in strength. 
Sold on a Double Guarantee. High Analysis. 
No Rock, Iron or Alumina Phosphates used. No Horn, Leather or any inferior matter. 
Some large crops grown exclusively with the Mapes Corn Manure and reported in 
the agricultural press: 
On two acres, 600 llis of Mapes, alone, broad¬ 
cast, 198 bushels shelled corn. 
On three acres, same fertilizer, same quanti¬ 
ty, 489 bushels ears.— New England Ilome- 
slead. 
180 bushels of ears per acre; shelled, 98.45 
bushels. 2058 bushels ears on 16 acres. Only 
Mapes (800 lbs per acre) used.— Connecticut 
Farmer 
90 bushels (shelled), with 500 lbs per acre. 150 
bushels (shelled), with 600 lbs per acre. Value 
of the grain alone over five times as much as 
the cost of the fertilizer.— American Agricul¬ 
turist. 
856 bushels (ears) on four acres. 159.87 
bushels of shelled corn on one acre. 125.87 
bushels on one acre. Nothing used but the 
Mapes.— Rural New-Yorker. *
