Arthur Sherwood, Grower of Onions, etc., at Westport, Conn., used three tons this sea¬ 
son, and writes, July 21st, 1874 : “Am satisfied, in my judgment, from what I have seen ofMapes’ 
Superphosphate that it is the best commercial fertilizer I ever used, and I have used nearly all, if 
not all. of those known in our State.” 
Herman Beardsley, of Danbury, Conn., writes, May 11th, 1874, ordering a supply for this 
season : “ I have used it for nearly twenty years. Almost every year I have tried other kinds, but 
have not found as good results as from yours."

THE DRILL OF THE PERIOD. 
The Superior Double Force-Feed 
GRAIN DRILL 
Has met with unparalleled success during the past two 
years, and now stands without a rival in the Grain Drill 
family. It is the only Double Force-Feed Drill in 
the world. Thousands of farmers who have bought and used 
the “ Superior,” pronounce it entirely unequalled for per¬ 
fection of work, ease of operating, grain saving, time sav¬ 
ing, and money making. Don’t fail to examine it and com¬ 
pare it with other Drills before purchasing.
