The Mapes Gompl re Manures Contain the Highest Grade 
Materials and the Mo: 5 Soluble and Valuable Plant-Food Forms Known 
*— 
N O. 1 PURE PERUVIAN GUANO R^afied (by our special treatment to improve its solubility, WITHOUT ACIDITY), 
nitrate of potash, carbonate of pc^itl, nitrate of soda, sulphate of ammonia, etc., etc. Without knowledge of the sources 
or character of the materials used ° ^making a mixed fertilizer the chemist is unable to determine the plant food value 
Of the ingredients, particularly organic nitrogen, phosphoric acid insoluble, and all forms of potash. 
The official report of the Connecticut Experiment Station for the year 1904 contains the analyses of over two 
hundred brands of mixed fertilizers (samples taken in the market). In this report of analyses the Mapes Manures are 
given the highest valuation of all, and on the ordinary basis of figuring “valuations; no benefit is received by the 
Mapes Manures for the superior and more costly forms of Potash, Nitrate of Potash and Carbonate of Potash 
(eight cents instead of 5 cents per lb.) nor of the superior forms in Peruvian Guano. 
For full analyses of the Mapes Manures referred to see ad. in Rural New-Yorker of last week, page 220. 
Large Profits on Varied Soils Without Farm Manure 
Fruit, Truck and Special Crop Growing on a Large Scale 
In many cases some of these soils are of the lightest sandy cnaracter. Some in Florida have 
been described as “looking under a pocket magnifier like powdered window glass. They 
have little plant food resources of their own. All has to be supplied in the fertilizer. 
“WITH JUDICIOUS USE OF THE MAPES MANURES , WORN-OUT LUNDS CAN BE RESTORED TO FERTILITY QUICKER AND 
WITH LESS EXPENSE THAN IN ANY OTHER WAY.”—American Agriculturist.

No. 169 Improved 
Eauj Buckeye Riding 
Cultivator. 
A farmer’s fortune is often wasted because he buys cheap and poorly made farm 
implements—tools that won’t do the work claimed for them. It doesn’t pay the 
individual farmer to try experiments. Practical farmers have found this to be true 
and they now hold fast to a reliable line— 
and such a line is the Buckeye. 
The No. 109 Improved Easy Buckeye 
Riding Cultivator shown here, has many 
features not found on other cultivators. 
It does close, sure, accurate work, and can 
be ad j usted to either wide or narrow rows. 
The working parts are all simple, it’s light 
in draft, strongly built and most practical 
in operation. Drop hitch directly con¬ 
nected to beams allows accurate regula¬ 
tion of depth of shovels. See the complete 
line of Buckeye implements at your 
dealer’s, or write for full information and 
catalogue.
