Restore Your Meadows and Grass Lands by simply Top”Dressing. 
It is lasting in effects equally with the best stable manure, but at the same time it is quicker and more 
to which it is applied. Its introduction some years since marked a new era for restoring grass lands without plowing, amo g 
the farmers of Connecticut, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. 
The Mapes Corn Manure. 
This is a complete manure for corn, and requires the use of no other fertilizer. It contains all the ingredients required to 
the full development of the crop, both in abundance of stalk of improved feeding quality, so important in ENSILAGE, and also in yiel o 
well-filled deep-kerneled ears. 
To Crow Paying Crops of Corn and Bring Up Poor Land. 
This manure is adapted for BROADCAST use for growing Corn. Many fight, sandy lands, ‘‘poor as poverty,” like the Hartford 
“ Plains,” have by broadcasting three to four bags per acre of this manure, been brought up into good condition for grass or for any 
crop, and made to pay from the start. 
Read “TWENTY YEARS AFTER” for practical results at Newington, Conn, on seven 
acres of “ the poorest piece of land,” with the MAPES CORN MANURE (two tons on the seven 
acres broadcast harrowed in), two years in succession ; then Potatoes (three tons of the Mapes Potato 
Manure), two years ; then Oats (54 bushels per acre); then heavy mowing of hay. This land at first 
was so poor that nothing hut pigeon grass and dewberry vines grew on it. 
Lands otherwise practically worthless, made to produce, by annual applications, ^‘"8 
liberal figuring for labor, interest and taxes, and brought up equal to the good lands. This cannot be done by us g

The Great Corn Contest of the American Agriculturist. 
Crops 213, 119 and 95 bushels each ; grown on one measured acre exclusively with the Mapes Corn Manuie. 
Of this great crop, 213 bushels shelled corn, grown lu Yates County, N. Y with the Mapes Corn Manure (800 pounds per cents''a 
can Agriculturist says: “If we allow only $15 as the value of the tops for fodder, and make no account of bottom stalks, the

The Largest crop grown with fertilizer, other than the Mapes (45 crops in all) was 
84 bushels (chemically dried, 60 bushels.) 
Some Large Crops Grown with the Mapes Corn Manure, and reported in the Agricultural Press :

E. S. Carman, of The Rural New-Yorker, in commenung upon the large yield of potatoes obtained by the Rural Fa^^^ or 
and the Mapes Potato Manure, concludes: “But we don’t want a ‘phosphate’ or ‘superphosphate or an Ammon ate p 1 P ,
