Super-Phosphate of Lime—C. Deburgh’s No. 1. 
W E are the only authorized agents for the sale of De¬ 
burgh’s Super-Phosphate of Lime in the city of New 
York. As there has been various spurious substances sold 
last spring for this superior manure, we request farmers and 
dealers to send their orders direct to our warehouse. We 
have sold about 300 tons this spring, and have received infor¬ 
mation from many that it was equal to guano in its immedi¬ 
ate effect, and much more lasting in the land. 
Any person who purchased from us Deburgh’s Super- 
Phosphate last spring, which has not given satisfaction, by 
sending us notice, we will forward another lot for trim with¬ 
out charge. LONGETT & GRIFFING,

Super-phosphate. 
N O expense has been spared in the combination of this 
most fertilizing manure, which contains the natural 
properties of plants. It is superior to most of the articles 
offered for sale under the same name, and is inferior to none, 
although sold at a much lower price. It is put up in bags, at 
$10 per ton, of 2000 lbs., cash.

Farmers, Attention! 
T HIS is the proper season to use LElNAU’S AMERI¬ 
CAN FERTILIZER upon your farms. This truly valu¬ 
able manure can be had at $25 per ton, or $3.50 per barrel,* 
of the proprietor. Try it. It is now oil exhibition at the 
Crystal Palace, New-York, and any amount of names can be 
given of its successful use. Also, Guano and Poudrette,

Bone Bust Manure and Super-Phosphate of Lime. 
THE EAGLE CHEMICAL CO., having recently made 
X extensive additions to their works on Staten Island, are 
now prepared to meet the increased demand for the above 
named invaluable manures, and are ready to supply the agri¬ 
culturists with any quantity that may be required. 
The Bone Bust Manure will he of the same quality, and 
will be delivered at the same price as that heretofore furnish- 
ad to the farmers of Staten Island, Nevy-Jersey, and other 
parts of the United Slates. It will be ground into a fine pow¬ 
der, and warranted pure—and being perfectly dry, and well 
packed in clean barrels, can be transported at a small cost, 
either by steamboat or railroad. 
The advantages of ground bones for manure are too well 
known by the experience of the past twenty years, to make 
any further recommendation necessary. 
The Super-phosphate of Lime , or Sulphated Bones, 
may not. perhaps, be so well known in some parts of the 
United States, as the former, as it is a comparatively recent 
mode of applying the same ingredients; but from the great 
results already obtained by the agriculturists in England and 
the United States, it is likely to be preferred to all other ma¬ 
nures in use. 
The proprietors of the Eagle Chemical Works have for seve¬ 
ral years past been engaged in the manufacture of this article 
in England, where they have had the assistance of the most 
eminent agricultural chemists in Europe. 
The Super-phosphate now prepared by them, has been 
tested on every variety of soil and crop in Europe, the Uni¬ 
ted States and the West Indies, with the most invariable 
success. The manufacturers do not hesitate to guarantee it 
to be the most perfect manure that can be made. No ingre¬ 
dients will be used until they have been carefully examined 
and their purity tested, and the mode of preparing such ingre¬ 
dients, and the proportions used, will be such as the manu¬ 
facturers have ascertained, by long and patient application of 
chemical science to be the ’most perfect, and which they have 
proved to be so, by the practical tests of agriculturists on al¬ 
most every deseripfon of soil, and in every variety of climate. 
It will always be kept at the highest standard of purity and 
excellence, and every lot made will be carefully analyzed 
and tested before delivery. It is warranted to prove a more 
valuable manure than the best Peruvian guano, being both 
more immediate in its effects upon the plant,,and of more per¬ 
manent benefit to the soil, besides being less dangerous in its 
application. 
It will be composed entirely of Super-phosphate of Lime, 
combined with such proportions of ammonia and other ingre¬ 
dients as are necessary to restore that which has been taken 
from the soil by previous crops. 
Raw bones, in addition to fat or gelatine, are composed of 
Phosphoric Acid and Lime combined, called Phosphate of 
Lime. It is the Phosphoric Acid that is of great value as ma¬ 
nure to the agriculturist, and the object of applying sulphuric 
Acid to dissolve them is that by its alliance with the Lime 
which is in the bones the Phosphoric Acid is rendered more 
soluble or easily dissolved by rain; and the difference be¬ 
tween raw ground bones and dissolved bones may in a plain 
way, be stated to consist in the fact, that by a careful addition 
of the proper proportions of sulphuric acid, the Phosphate of 
Lime in the raw bones is converted partly into Sulphate of 
Lime, which is a valuable manure, and a considerable por¬ 
tion of soluble phosphoric acid is left free to combine at once 
with the soil in readiness to act on the plant. 
Thus it is that a small quantity of Super-phosphate of lame 
will force a crop of turneps in greater weight than a larger 
quantity of raw ground bones, bringing them ready to the 
hoe at least ten days sooner. Tin's is one of the most impor¬ 
tant properties of this Phosphate, derived from its peculiar 
preparation, and it will always be found, where used, to cause 
such a speedy development of the plant, as to enable it to es¬ 
cape the ravages of the fly and wire worm. 
It is calculated that one bushel of this prepared Super¬ 
phosphate is equal in its effects to six bushels of ground bones 
in a raw state. Thus the concentrated form of this manure, 
and its small bulk makes its exceedingly convenient, and di¬ 
minishes the cost of transportation and handling. 250 pounds 
to 350 pounds to the acre is sufficient for any ordinary condi¬ 
tion of soil, and the whole cost, will not probably be greater 
tliaiv the extra expense would be in the mere handling and 
carting the necessary quantity of stable manure to produce 
the same effect. 
It may be sown broad cast, and plowed into the soil—or 
it may be drilled in with the seed. It may also be applied in 
the hills during the cultivation of corn or other crops, when 
it will stimulate the most sluggish growth into immediate ac- 
It will be delivered in Bags or Barrels, in such quantities 
as may be required, at the price of gj' cents per pound—and 
each package will be branded—Super-phosphate of Lime,

Atkitis’ Self-Raking Reaper# 
T HIS machine is now offered to the public and warranted 
to be a good self-raking reaper. It is also believed to be 
a good mower, but not yet having been sufficiently tested in 
grass (though it soon will-be) it is not warranted to be equal 
to a machine made mainly or wholly to mow. 
The raking apparatus is of novel and very simple construc¬ 
tion, and not liable to derangement, and every farmer who 
has seen it in the harvest field, says it performs the raking 
better than a man can possibly do it. 
Price of machines, at Chicago, $175, of which $75 must be 
paid on giving’the order, $50 upon successful trial, and $50 
in note payable 1st December. 
The machines are most thoroughly built and warranted.

To Flax Growers. 
T HE subscriber has invented and builds to order, a FLAX 
MACHINE, which, attended by two hands, is guaran¬ 
teed to dress from three hundred to four hundred and fifty 
pounds of flax per day. The saving in labor and tow, by 
comparison, is considered equivalent to the cost of dressing 
flax by the best common machinery, used in this country 
and Europe. The new machine is made with care, to se¬ 
cure strength and durability, and can be run at a speed which 
requires more than two hands to attend it. Unrotted flax 
straw can be dressed by it. It can be driven by horse power 
or otherwise; and, being portable, can be sent'any distance. 
For the present, the price of the machine complete, is $400. 
Those who wish to obtain it in season to begin operations 
next autumn, will do well to apply soon.
