A NEW FERTILIZER. 
T HE LODI MANUFACTURING COMPANY, (who 
have been manufacturing Poudrette for 14 years,) have, 
by a recently discovered process, been enabled so completely 
to disinfect Night Soil, as to present to the Agricultural World 
that long sought after and greatly to be desired article. 
PURE NIGHT SOIL, DISINFECTED AND DRIED. 
This article differs from Poudrette, and every other article 
of manure made from human excrement, from the fact that 
it contains no mixture of foreign substance whatever, (ex¬ 
cept 5 per cent. of calcined gypsum, which is used to retain 
any fugitive ammonia,) the sulphuretted hydrogen which is 
the offensive gas escaping from Night Soil, is taken from it 
by a peculiar process. It is, also, entirely separated from 
rubbish not smaller than a pin’s head, and so concentrated, 
that its bulk is decreased one half by manufacture, yet, at the 
same time, none of its virtues are allowed to escape. The 
Lodi Manufacturing Company have selected the Chinese 
words dessicated night soil, as the name for this article, viz 
Ta-Feu, 
and offer it for sale under the following guarantees:— 
1st.—That it is free from unpleasant odor, and contains 95 
per cent, of night soil concentrated, and 5 per cent, of cal¬ 
cined gypsum, and nothing else. 
2nd —That it cannot be surpassed by any other manure in 
the world, either in fertilizing.power or in cheapness 
3d.—That it is equal to Guano in the proportion of 4 pounds 
of Ta-feu to 3 pounds of Guano. That it is equal to any su¬ 
perphosphate of lime now in market pound for pound, on any 
crop, and is one-tirrd cheaper than Guano, and twice as 
cheat) as superphosphate. 
4th.—It contains every kind of food necessary to the growth 
of plants, and is perfectly soluble in water, making, therefore, 
a splendid top dresser on grass and grain. 
It is perfectly dry, and can be bagged or barrelled, and 
sent to any part of ihe United States. Price $20 per ton, of 
2,'240 lbs., for any quantity over 10 tons; under that, $25. No 
charge will be made for cartage or package. 
Persons wishing to try it, can send us any amount, from 
$3 upwards, and the exact number of pounds will be for¬ 
warded, with directions for use. 
We recommend it strongly on cabbage plains, turnips, 
wheat, grain and grass, either sowed or harrowed in, or as a 
top dressing, after the grain is up. On cabbages and turnips 
it has already been tried with astonishing results, having dou¬ 
bled the size of cabbage plants in a week. 
For 300 to 500 lbs. per acre will be a first rate dressing for 
grass in the fall and for grain followed by grass; a table¬ 
spoonful is more than sufficient for a cabbage plant.

ing beautiful symmetry, good quality Of mutton, with a hea¬ 
vy fleece of fine wool. Benedict is one of the Lest bulls 
Buckingham ever got, and is from Sir. Richard Booth’s fa¬ 
mous cow, Hawthorn Blossom, who is dam and grand-dam 
of more good animqis than any other cow in England. Capt. 
Balco perhaps the most. promising*young bull of the day, has 
been exhibited twice; first in Yorkshire, where he defeated, 
when only four months old, the animal that obtained the 
second prize at the great meeting held at York, although 
eleven months old: second at Haddington, East Lothian, 
when only a year old—he distinguished himself by not only 
obtaining the prize in his own class, but against bulls of all 
ages, a performance that has never been done at any previ¬ 
ous meeting of that Society. He is entered for exhibition at 
the three following National Agricultural Meetings: The 
Royal English, at Lincoln, in July; the Highland Society at 
Berwick-on-Tweed, and the Royal Irish at Armagh, and 
could be delivered after the last meeting. 
Victor is a very stylish calf and will make a show bull. 
The stock of the subscriber is a combination of blood of the 
most successfull prize animals in England and Scotland du¬ 
ring the last len years; and any party wishing to commence 
breeding, or to improve their present stock, may secure the 
most valuable blood extant. He begs to state that he has 
had awarded him during the last ten years ninety-three pre¬ 
miums for Shprt-Horned cattle and 115 premiums for Sheep. 
The animals sold from lime to time from this herd and flock 
have invariably distinguished themselves as winners of prizes. 
Personal inspection invited. For further particulars address.
