In the Report of the Agricultural Department of North 
Carolina for the years 1877, 1878,1879, and 1880, the average 
commercial value of fertilizers was $34.63 per ton; the price 
paid by the consumer was $40.91. We are prepared to fur¬ 
nish the pure Menhaden Guano, treated with sulphuric acid, 
which renders it a soluble fertilizer, f. o. b. on cars or ves¬ 
sel, in bulk for $25 per ton, or In bags for $28 per ton. G. A, 
Liebeg, of Baltimore, the recognized authority in valuation 
of fertilizers in the United States, puts their value at $43.06 
per ton ; being a saving to the consumer by the use of our 
fertilizer of over $20 per ton. For particulars and samples

PHOSPHATE 
WITH POTASH. 
A General Fertilizer for all Crops, 
and Dow in Price. 
For a number of years we have had all of 
the Blood, Bone aud Meat Waste of the 
Brighton Abattoir. Boston, where about 
100,000 cattle and 600,000 sheep are slaugh¬ 
tered annually. Our Phosphate being com¬ 
posed of this animal matter (which has ac¬ 
tually come out of the soil and Is now being 
returned), combined with Potash and other 
chemicals essential to plant growth, pos¬ 
sesses, consequently, great crop producing 
power, giving larger and earlier crops, and 
better quality. It is used in the hill or drill 
or broadcast, either alone or with manure. 
Our Fertilizers, composed as they are, must 
give good satisfaction, and that they do is 
shown by the fact that we are now selling 
23,003 tons annually, as against 1,003 tons in 
1876, and require two large factories for 
their manufacture. Before buying, it will 
pay you to see our local agent, or write to
