THE MAPES COMPLETE MANURES. 
-PREPARED SPECIALLY FOR- 
Potatoes. Early Truck, Corn, Orchards and Vineyards (also for Improvement of Quality of Fruit), Grain Crops, Grass Top-Dressing-, Small Fruits, 
Tobacco, Orange and Truck Growing in Florida, Pineapples and other Tropical Fruits, Etc. 
These Fertilizers are True Manures, Mot Stimulants. 
'1 lie official State Agricultural Station Reports show the Mapcs Manures to he 
THE HIGHEST GRADE MADE AND THE CHEAPEST TO THE FARMER. 
They Contain the Largest Quantity of Soluble Plant Food as Compared with Cost. 
Prof. George IT. Cook, of the New Jersey Experiment Station, reports, in a late bul¬ 
letin, upon what the R, N.-Y. has so persistently endeavored to impress upon its readers. 
As a rule, he says, the fertilizer which contains the greatest amounts of nitrogen, phos¬ 
phoric acid and potash is the cheapest; for the cost of manufacture, freightage and rate of 
commission are the same for high-grade as for low-grade fertilizers, and the labor on the 
part of the farmer is increased as the grade of the goods decreases. 
The R. N.-Y. confidently anticipates the time when there will be no demand whatever 
for low-grade fertilizers .—Rural New-Yorker, Aug. 24th 1889. 
Farms Crowing Steadily Richer, and Profits Increasing from the Long-Continued Use of the Mapes Manures. 
I NO EXHAUSTION IN ANY CASE. 
“ Jersey Farms That Pay." 
1 iik RURAL New-Yorker, June 22d, 1889, states: “And while on this subject the 
K. N.-b . is led to refer to a farming community it has just visited. This community is in 
New Jersey, within 50 miles of New York. The cheap lands of the West will so Hood 
Eastern markets with staple products that New' Jersey farmers will have to become 
gai deners or truckers! 1- arming cannot be done without the use of stable manure as a 
basis ; chemical fertilizers will “ burn up” the soil ! At certain seasons of the year we 
hear these statements repeated over and over again. How- ridiculous they appear after a 
visit to the community we speak of. Here we have a class of farmers growing rich at pro¬ 
ducing hay, potatoes, corn and wheat. Yes, actually growing rich at producing Western 
products within 50 miles of New York. And it is done practically without stable manure; 
a farm having less than 10 head of cattle sells from 81,000 to 81,200 worth of hag and 
absolutely grows stronger and. more productive each year. Under such a system of 
agriculture the boys stay at home, farm life is robbed of its worst features and becomes a 
very ideal life of comfort and happiness. We saw this life realized—saw the crops, the 
tools, the men. We were so interested in it that we propose to tell R. N.-Y. readers just 
what we saw. We hope our report will lead to some hard thinking. It will be nothing 
but a report as honestly written as possible.” 
The reports on these farms may be found in the Rural New-Yorker, on pages 441 and 442, July 6th, and on pages 459 and 460, July 13th, 1889, under heading “New Jersey Farms that 
Pay.” Oil these farms (D. C. Lewis and others) the Mapes Manures have been used almost exclusively from ten to fifteen years successively, ami the crops average fully double 
those grown in iormer years under the systems then practiced. Poor lands are now purchased at current low rates with confidence by farmers who know from experience that they 
can bring up these lands into good, profit able grass-growing condition, and make money from the start. 
Some Lending Authorities on the Mapes Manures. 
" Our own experiences with various commercial fertilizers have convinced us that with 
judicious use of the Mapes Manures worn-out lands can he Restored to Fertility Quicker 
and witli less expense, than in auy other way .”—American Agriculturist. 
I he remarkable success which has attended the Mapes Fertilizers lias given them an 
enviable reputation and standing, not only in the United States and Provinces, but in 
Great Britain and other European countries .”—American Agriculturist. 
“Mr. Mapes has studied industriously and has worked conscientiously to help the 
farmers. I believe he has tried as hard to serve the farmers’ true interests as any one in 
tlds room. He knows liow to make good fertilizers adapted to their needs, and lie is mak¬ 
ing as good oues as he knows how to make. They arc reliable and. may be depended 
upon. You may be sure of getting what you BUY—getting what is guaranteed. I am 
glad to stand here and authoritatively make these statements. Prof. George H. Cook, 
Director of the New .Jersey State Agricultural Station, at a meeting of the State 
Board of Agriculture, at Trenton, N. J. 
“ The Mapes Fertilizers, though higher in price than some others, are scientifically, 
carefully and honestly made. In the use of them we are always pretty sure of good re¬ 
sults. We use them every year and have not been disappointed in their action (May, 1888). 
They seem to go right to the spot and stay there better than any other sort we have used. 
A s get most excellent results in both corn and potatoes.”—(Nov. 1888 .)—WiJmcr Atkin 
son, Farm Journal 
“ L nder average conditions, and in far the greater number of cases, we do not hesitate 
to name the Mapes Potato Manure as the Best and Most Profitable fertilizer for Pota¬ 
toes.”— Aiherican A griculturist. 
“ The Mapes Potato Manure is certainly as good a fertilizer for the crops as we can ex¬ 
pect to find.”—./. T. Lovett , Orchard, and Harden. 
“ Its action approaches certainty, or as near it as any manure can be expected to do.” 
— E. S. Carman , Rural New-Yorker 
Send postal for descriptive pamphlets, (farm crops, trucks, grapes, fruits, etc.) The Mapes Fertilizers, owing to their high concentration are particularly well adapted for long 
shipment, and make a saving of fully one-half m freight as compared with ordinary Commercial Super-Phosphates.

Ted was invited out to tea with his 
mother one day, and among other dainties 
a saucer of orange gelatine was set before 
him. it was a new dish to the little fellow 
and he eyed it disparagingly a minute, then 
said, very politely : “ If you please, ma’am, 
thank you. I rather guess you can have it 
back—it keeps wagging so .”—Cincinnati 
Gazette. 
Not many days ago a gentleman had 
taken affectionate leave of his wife and 
daughter, for a three months’ trip abroad. 
The child, a lovely little girl of two aud a- 
lnilf years, stood by a chair with her thumb 
in her mouth—a favorite pastime, and, to 
her, a panacea for all her childish ills. She 
watched her mother for a few moments, 
saw the tears filling the lovely eyes and 
dropping one by one from her cheeks, then 
went to her side, and with a comforting 
tone, looking pityingly up to her face, said 
“ Mamma, suck ’oo fum !”—Texas Siftings.
