To Farmers. , 
rPHE LODI MANUFACTURING CO., have now on hand and 
ready for sale, a large quantity of their NEW AND IMPRO¬ 
VED POUDRETTE freshly manufactured. 
They guarantee that every barrel or bushel they sell contains 66 
per cent of night soil , and point to a reputation of ten years stand¬ 
ing, as well as to the heavy outlay of capital in their business, as 
in some sort a surety against imposition. 
Considering night soil as the strongest ingredient in their Pou- 
drette, their mode of manufacturing is simply to disinfect and add 
sufficient vegetable fibre to absorb moisture. 
Two barrels ($3 worth) will manure an acre of corn in the hill, 
planting four feet apart each way. One application is sufficient 
on good ordinary ground. On poor ground a second application Is 
sometimes necessary to ensure a good crop. This manure lias 
advantages in its use over guano or other manures, being the 
cheapest and quickest in operation. Corn manured with it will 
grow more vigorously, and mature earlier—"while the yield is hea¬ 
vier in proportion. 
Four bushels struck measure, are packed in a barrel. It will 
be sold at the following prices, delivered in New- York free of cart¬ 
age or other expense: 1 bbl. $2—3bbls $5, 9 bbls. $10.50, and at 
the rate of $1.50 per bbl. for any larger quantity. At the Factory, 
25 cents per bushel will be charged. A trial is respectfully asked. 
All orders containing a remittance, with directions to ship, will 
be immediately attended to. 
Apply, if by letter, post paid, to The Lodi Manufacturing Co.,
