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 wosldy 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-third cheaper than Guano, and twice as 
cheap 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 the 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 plants, 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.

Super-Phosphate of Lime. 
^HIS celebrated fertilizer, where it has been fairly tested 
the last year, has been found equal, and in many cases 
superior to the best Peruvian guano, in its immediate effect, 
and much more permanently beneficial to the land. It is 
adapted to any soil in which there is a deficiency of phos¬ 
phate, which is often the case. All crops are benefited by its 
application. It is composed of ground bones, decomposed 
by sulphuric acid, io which is added a due proportion of Pe¬ 
ruvian guano, sulphate of ammonia, See. 
For sale, with full directions for use, in bags of 150 pounds 
each. No charge for package. All bags will be branded 
“ C. B. DeBurg, No. 1 Super-Phosphate of Lime.”
