ROTH WELL'S 
BLOOD AND WOOL MANURE. 
NEW article for the active fertilization of plants, is 
offered to the cultivator in the form of BLOOD AND 
WOOL MANURE, being a manufactured preparation of 
these two fertilizing elements, in suitable proportions. 
This article is a peculiar nitrogenous manure, that has 
been used in England for the past three years, where it 
has attracted considerable interest and attention on the 
part of scientific agriculturists, from its really wonderful 
results when compared with the Use of several valuable 
kinds of Guano. The results in the soil would be scarcely 
looked for in the ordinary use of these somewhat neglect¬ 
ed materials, and is due in a great measure to the happy 
combination Avhich produces two curious effects in the soil, 
which are chemical and mechanical, and the great fertili¬ 
zing properties of these two materials. 
The result upon the various crops are similar to those 
obtained by the use of Peruvian Guano, though in me¬ 
chanical and chemical effects somewhat different. It is a 
highly stimulating and very active manure, well adapted 
to urging forward in the spring of succulent plants and 
garden esculents generally, and may be used to great ad¬ 
vantage wherever Peruvian Guano can be used to success 
and profit. 
Dried Blood has been for a long time used with success 
in skilled agriculture ; but the combination of it with 
Wool, in a peculiar manufactured state, is a new idea ; the 
application of it to plants in the soil, has proved that it is 
remarkably well adapted to effect the development and ra¬ 
pid growth of plants , and the ready production of leaves 
and woody fibre. Both of these articles yield largely of 
Ammonia and Nitrogen, which is well known as the dis¬ 
tinguishing feature of Peruvian Guano; while the Wool 
yields Phosphoric Acid upon analysis, which is known 
to be so advantageous in the production of the flower and 
seed of the plant, and in the general developments of 
grain crops, potatoes, turnips, &c., particularly in the 
growth of field crops. 
The great advantage of this manure consists in the fact 
that it undergoes a peculiar chemical decomposition in the 
soil, by which it gives oft* continuously Nitrogen Gas, 
which is very necessary in the early formation and contin¬ 
uous healthy growth of plants. Another advantage is de¬ 
rived from the mechanical properties of the wool giving 
lightness or elasticity to the soil, so that the young roots 
and spongeoles of the plants can readily distend them¬ 
selves in search of food. This is a very important requi¬ 
site during the early stages of the germination and growth 
of the plant ; and also helps greatly the chemical and elec¬ 
trical processes which take place in the development of 
the plant at this period, by allowing the free access of the 
heat, air, and rain water of the surface of the ground. 
This new manure will soon become a favorite among 
gardeners and scientific agriculturists, on account of the 
above mentioned mechanical and chemical effects. Its re¬ 
sult upon application to the soil and the plant have been 
demonstrated in England and the following comparative 
results obtained, which are copied from the Marx Lane 
Express,” of London. It is appended for the benefit of 
American agriculturists. It will be seen that its compari¬ 
son with Super Phosphate of Lime, a well known and 
valuable fertilizer, is very decided in its favor ; and also 
its comparative results with several kinds of Guano enu¬ 
merated, and also with other preparations—the weight, 
cost and result being given.
