Vi —THE NEW JERSEY IiERTILIZER COMPANY le Ittkvr prepared to receive orders for Me important manure. For all !atria upon which ashes are benelloiat, the Marlin more than a substitute. Professor Cook, in his annual report to the Legisla ture of New Jersey, says " The value of these Marls is beat seen in the rich and highly cultivated district which has been improved, almost made, by their use; but It may be Interesting to examine the ewes of their greatvalu i e in Agelcultute, avid to compare them with other fertilisers. For example: The potash alone may be taken at au average of live per cent. of the whole weight of Marl, a bushel when dry weighing eighty pounds, and in the proportion mentioned would contain four pounds of potash; this is nearly as much as there Is le a bushel of unleached wood ashes." And again— it is probable that the great value of the Marl la to be found in the fact that it contains nearly all the sub stances necessary to make up the ash of our common cultivated plants. Price, delivered on board vessel, at the wharves of the company at Portland Heights, on Raritan Bay, New Jersey, seven cents per bushel. Nor further whee lers, see circular sent free of postage.

The fact that it does ono-third more work in the same time, and does it better; that it is the least liable to got our of repair, being simple in its construction; that it Makes the least noise, and that it is acknowledged on all hands that It is best for a new beginner, has given the pro. priatore a demand for It to such an extent that they are obliged to delay the filling of orders in many cases for months. Over eight hundred are in operation in this city, and the case has yet to occur where a person who has purchased one has exchanged it for another kind.
