Cartersvlile, Georgia,|January 1, 1878.
Dear Sir—Below you will find price list of fertilizers and fertilizing material I expect to
| handle this season, also, sonic certificates, directions for composting, and other reading matter
| pertaining to the advantages of composting. Many other testimonials could be obtained but
1 have been unable to see the parties in time to get their certificates into this circular. Ihe
; certificates given, you will observe, are all from parties in this and the surrounding counties,
with many of whom you are personally acquainted. Dissolved Bone or Acid Phosphate should
be ordered at once, as the longer a compost heap stands the better.
I will mention a few, known in different sections of the county, whose certificates do not
appear, some of whom have used Etiwan Dissolved Bone and some \\ ando Acid Phosphate,
leeling confident they will endorse all I have said, and to whom I would respectfully refer you:
I. 0. McDaniel and T. C. Moore, Allatoona, Ga.; L. S. Mumford, John S. Leake, Z. VV. Jackson,
Cartersville, Ga.; It. H. Dodd, G. M. Isabell, W. J. Brandon, D. P. Brandon, W. P. Whitesides,
Euharlee, Ga,; 11. S. Crawford and Dr. J. N. Vanmeter, Kingston, Ga.; J. C. Mason, Stilesboro,
Ga. Hoping to receive your order, and assuring you as good terms as can be obtained any
where, I remain, Very Respectfully,

Nova Scotia Plaster, delivered on cars at Augusta, Ga 16 00a 19 00
The prices ot the Sea Fowl Guanos are left blank from the fact that the company have not,
up to this time, definitely arranged the prices for the coming season. The prices and terms will
be, as near as I can ascertain, the same as last year, and as low as any first-class fertilizer of
equal grade.
Whoie it is desirable, an arrangement can be made with the manufacturers to deliver the
Phosphate here free of freight, at, of course, a satisfactory advance; though all are earnestly
recommended to pay their own freight, as it is cheaper and better for them in the end, and is
that much paid.
It is a rule with me, in making fertilizer settlements, when the fifteen-cents’ option is
given, to allow my customers either to bring me the cotton, or to sell their cotton wherever
they may prefer, and pay me the value in money for the number of pounds of middling cotton
which may be required to cancel their fertilizer note. For instance : 1 ton Wando Acid Phos
phate is worth this season $45 00, with the option to settle in cotton, middling grade, at 15 cts.
per lb. This is just equivalent to 300 lbs cotton, as 300 lbs. cotton at 15 cts. per lb. would be
just equal to $45 00. Now the planter can cither deliver to me the 300 lbs. cotton, in payment
for one ton Wando Acid Phosphate, or be can pay me in money the value of 300 lbs. cotton on
the day the settlement is made.
The only commercial thrill Kyra 'f * actuil
pnates Dissolved Done or Acid Phosphates (all of which mean the same mingy iut acm.ii
value of these is determined, first, by the amount of Soluble Phosphoric Acid, and, secondly, by
the amount of Sulphate of Lime, or Land Plaster, contained in each ton.
In purchasing, therefore, the planter should estimate the value of what he gets, and not
the price per ton, but the price per pound of available Phosphoric Acid.
For this reason, it is earnestly recommended to all to buy nothing but the highest grades
of these Phosphates. A dissolved bone, for instance, of 24 per cent, solubility, is worth just
twice as much as the same, or a different article, of 12 per cent, solubility, and is much cheaper
for the planter, as one ton of the former will produce the same result as two tons ot the latter,
and, of course, saves freight (which with us is an item) and handling. Phosphoric A.cid,
Potash and Ammonia are the chief elements which constitute all good Fertilizers, and these,
when combined and sold in the market, are very expensive. _ # .
Now, the planter can furnish all these articles himself, except his phosphoric acid, which
he birrs in the form of dissolved bone or acid phosphate, obtaining his ammonia from his stable
manure and cotton seed, and his potash from wood ashes. The manufacturer ot the regular
manipulated guanos uses Peruvian guano as his source of ammonia; muriate of potash as Ins
source of potash, and acid phosphate or dissolved bone as his source ol phosphoric acid, combine
them and we have the regularly manipulated guanos.
The planter uses cotton seed as his source of ammonia, wood ashes as his source of potash,
and dissolved bone or acid phosphate as his source of phosphoric acid, combines them in a com
post heap with, of course, the same result.
Ammonia, in all vegetable produces weed and phosphoric acid fruit, so that the
planter has nothing to do but to purchase a high grade phosphate, compost it with his cotton
seed or stable manure in proportion to the ammonia he wishes to obtain, and it bis land is pine
growth, sandy or deficient in potash, add wood ashes, and he has every ingredient of a fii st-class
fertilizer. This is a home made guano, and the only practical way of making one.
Directions for Composting:
Select a hard ground or plank floor; then take a given weight of dry potton seed, wet it
thoroughly with water and spread it on the selected spot some three or four inches thick; then
take of the dissolved bone or acid phosphate a weight equal to the weight of dry cotton seed
already used and spread it on the layer of cotton seed; then again take the same weight of dry
cotton seedj wet it thoroughly with water, and spread it on the acid phosphate or dissolved bone;
then again spread an equa l Aveiglit of phosphate or bone on your seed. Proceed thus spreading
cottonseed (always thoroughly wet) and dissolved bone in alternate layers until the pile attains
a convenient height, when it should be protected thoroughly from the weather with boards, plank,
or something to shed the rain. t .
The longer the pile stands before using, the better and the more thorough the disintegra
tion, though it can be used after three weeks.
The addition of the farmyard or stable manure to the pile will he highly beneficial, but don’t
add lime as it sets all the ammonia free, and, of course, injures the compost heap.
Lime is very beneficial to the soil if applied ylirect or in decomposing vegetable matter, but
should never be mixed with an ammoniated heap before it is put into the ground
The planter can vary the proportion of cotton seed and acid phosphate from that given
above, as one ton of a high grade acid phosphate or dissolved bone will utilize from 100 to 400
bushels of cotton seed.
CERTIFICATES.
CASSTII.LK, Ga., Oct. :SO, 1876.--Mr. T. W.
Baxter— This year, for the first time, 1 used 3
sacks of Ktiwan Bone, using also, as you arc
aware, 1 tea soluble Pacific Guano. I made
about one ton ot compost with the three sacks.
1 think the ton of compost equal in productive
va no to the ton of guano, at, of course, much
less eo-t. I ft-ed it mostly under corn, and
enough under cotton to experiment with the
"uano, and I thiuk it. equally as good. With
ordinary seasons, at a handful of compost to
the hill! it would have thribbled my corn crop.

year has been unfavorable for fertilizers of any
kind, owing to a long drought and early Dost,
I have picked about three bags to five acres up
to this time, and think I will have at lcastonc

season 1 would have made a hale per acre. It
is the best fertilizer I ever used. E. Stegall.
Cassvji.LE, Ga., October 24,1876.--Mr. T. W.
Baxter—Dear Sir: We have tried the Ktiwan
Dissolved Bone, purchased of j ou last spring,
and take pleasure in adding our certificate as
to its merits. We were induced to try it from
the report of those who had used it for several
sci-om past, and say without hesitation that
it is certainly the cheapest thing a farmer c tn
buv as it enables him to utilize his cotton seed
and’ stable manure, and make a home made
guano. This year has bc**n exceedingly bad
on fertilizers of any kind, owing to a two
mouths’ drought. Yours truly,

Sir: i.ast year I used three sacks Of Ktiwan
hone for the first time, and consider it the best
thing I ever saw. 1 used it with cotton seed
and stable manure, and it comes fully up to
| mv expeditions. I shall from this ou use
| nothing eise. It increased my crop at least
400 pounds seed cotton per acre; and I made
from the (WO pounds bone one und a half tans
compost, and put 300 pounds per acre.
Taylorsville, Ga., Nov. 21, 1876.—Mr. T. W.
Baxter—Dear Sir: The Etiwan Dissolved Bone
I bought last spring has proven to be the best
fertilizer 1 have over used. I bought one ton ol
the Etiwan Bone, and composted the same
wilhfitl bushels of cotton seed and nearly one
ton of stable manure, and put the same ou 20
acres of land, and planted in cotton. I lett a
strip where 1 put no lertilizer, and the balance
I fertilized, and picked the same separate, and
weighed it, and from the unfertilized I gath
ered 512 pounds per acre, and where fertilized
I,l6o pounds. J. E. Smith.
Eubarlks, G:v., October - 28, 1876.--Mr. T. W.
Baxter-Dear Sir: X used this year, as you
know, a small quantity of Wando Acid Phos
phates for composting, and look upon :t as be
ing all right. I used it right along side of
Bale’s Guano, and look upon it as being hotter
than any guano 1 ever used. I composted it
with cotton seed about five to one. making six
tons of the compost; and when I say that it is
20 per cent, better than Bale’s Guano, I mean
that 200 pound : of Ihe compost is 20 per cent,
better than 20) pounds of Bale’s.

bought of vott guano of different brands for
several years, and 1 look upon the Ktiwan
Bone as the best tiling for tins price I have

Eeitaislee, Ga , October 25.1876. —Mr. T. AY.
Baxter: I used last ve.tr five tons Wando Acid
Phosphate, increasing mv order, as you know,
! from 2 to 3 tons per season I usually put
1 about two tons of cotton seed to one ton ol
■ phosphate, making in all three tons; and look
upon each one ot these three tons as being as
i g.od as one ton <>: the regular guano. I have
used Dixoa’s [A] Guano, Pacific Guano and
Sea Fowl Guano, and consider this by far the
best I have ever used 1 shall use it altogether
hereafter when I have cotton seed to compost.
1 have used it under both cotton and corn, and
if anything it is better for corn than cotton.

CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, JANUARY 10, IS7S.
Cartersville, Ga., November 20, 187 G.--Mr.
T. W. Baxter--Dear Sir: The Ktiwan Dis
solved Bone purchased of you this season has
given me satisfaction. I look upon it as be
ing the best thing a planter can use, as it ena
bles him io niak<f his guano at home, utilizing
cotton seed and stable manure, and furnishing
a permanent fertilizer. IfcTias been a bad year
on my guano. I look upon it as cos ling about
half as much as the regular guano, which is, ol
course, a great gain, JosKrii G. J-OWity.
Cartersville, Ga., November 14, 1876.—Mr.
T. W. Baxter—Dear Sir: 1 composted tbe one
half ton of Ktiwan Bone i bought of you last
spring in the following way: X mixed the one
half ton bone with about one-half ton cotton
seed, and one-half ton or more of stable ma
nure and rich i arth, making in all about two
tons ol compost. 1 put about 200 pounds of tho
mixture per acre for cotton, and about a hand
ful to the hill lor corn. I think it fully doubled
my cotton and corn crop both, and I had a very
bad stand of corn. 1 made Pm s>nie cotton on
two acres that one of my renters did on the
same land on six acres, i have l.sed different
kinds of guanos, and like this much better
than any 1 have ever tried. S. Venable.
Stilesboho. Ga., Nov. 12. 1876 --Mr. T. W.
Baxter—Dear Sir: 1 used the Etiwan Dis
solved Bone 1 ordered through you, as agent,
in the usual way. composting with cotton seed
about two tons cotton seed to one ton of Bone,
as usual, and applied about 400 pounds of t he
mixture per acre. lam well satisfied with the
lcsult, as it pays well. I like it especially lor
corn. I made twenty-five bushels of corn per
acre on land that I know would not naturally
% ield more than ten bushels per acre. It has
been an exceedingly dry year, and unfavora
ble for the use of any fertilizer.
YVm. Evkiudge.
Bock Mart, Ga., November 20,1876.--Mr. T.
W . Baxter—Dear Sir: 1 have never used any
acid phosphate until this year. The Wando
Acid Phosphate 1 bought of you this year 1
composted about one ton of aed to two tons ot
cotton seed with some portion of this stable
manure. 1 used the mixture on both cotton
and corn with highly satisfactory results. I
used it along side of Bale’s Guano, and think
the yield is better than Bale’s, or any other
guano I have over tried. I am satisfied It is trie
best and cheapest manure we can buy, nud
shall hereafter use nothing eise.

would be superior to any other, from the fact
that it has no equal, in our kbowledsre, lor

Cassville, Ga., Dec. 6, 1876.--Mr. T. W. Bax
ter--! used the Etnvan Dissolved Bone, one
half ton, with 700 pounds cotton seed and 3,000
pounds cow-pen manure, forming a compost of
the whole. 1 left two rows in middle of patch
of cotton, without anything under them, and
they yielded just half what the land did where
I applied the compost. I, therefore, estimate
the gain at about lUOpcr cent.
Nathan Land,
Stilksboko, Oct, 27, 1976—Mr. T. W. Baxter
Dear stir: I have used Ktiwan Dissolved Bone
two years, and it has always given me satis
faction. The way 1 manage is, that about Jan
uary I put about 200 lbs. cotton seed to 100 lbs,
of the bone, mixing it by the directions, ft is
a permanent fertilizer to the land, and rthink
in my case doubled my crop. I used It under
cotton, and apply from 150 to 200 lbs. of the
compost per acre. J. P. Bradley.
CHEROKEE Cos., Ga., Oct. 24, 1876.—Mr. T. W.
Baxter, Cartersviiie, Ga.--Dear Sir: The Eti
wun Dissolved Bone..bought of you last
spring--was mixed with equal weights of cot
ton seed and stable manure, and put in drills,
about 300 pounds t<> tho acre for cotton. The
yield was quite equal to the best, commercial
fertilizers, and we regard it as the best and
cheapest fertilizer in the market.
J, A. Kirkpatrick.
Kuhart.ee, Bartow Cos.. Oct. 1876.—Mr. T. W.
Baxter—Dear Sir: This is the lirst year I have
used Waudo Acid Phosphate to compost With
cotton seed, and have no hesitation in saying
that, witn my experience, no fertilizer excels
it. I composted with cotton seed and stable
manure, and think I doubled ray crop of cot
ton. l shall always recommend the VVando
Acid Phosphate. G. L. Davis.
Mu. B AxTER—In reply to your inquiry, with
reference to Ktiwan Dissolved Bone purchased
of you last season, I would say that t >ook upon
it as the best I have ever used, being, in ray
opinion, a permanent fertilizer,and equally a’s
good as the high-priced fertilisers at ornDti* jnl
the cost. This year has been very unfavora
ble for fertilizers, and is hardly a fair test.
Dear Sir: We have used VTando Acid Phos
phate for two years past, and arc convinced
that it is all that is claimed for it. Previous
to this we have used different brands of Hi
regular guanos. We usually put one ton acid
mlged with two tons of stable manure and cot
ton seed, making three tops jn IJ, apd apply
about throe hundred pounds per acre, which
produces equally as well as 200 pounds oi reg
ular guano. Wc shall always use this if it
keeps up to the standard, as it is a permanent
improvement to tiic land, we think.
it. B. Couch & Sons.
I have used Efciwan Dissolved Bone for two
or three years past for composting, having
used Dickson’s [A] and other guanos, and
must sav tint I consider it the dm a pest guano
a man can buy, as it makes a home-made
guano equal to tho regular manipulated
guanos, as well as utilizing cotton seed and
stable manure. 1 shall always use this kind of
guano when I use any. Would say this yjsar is
hardly a fair test, owing to a two mouths’
drought. A. Daviß,
I bought from MG Baxter one-half ton Kti
wan Dissolved Bone; used 60 pounds cotton
seed and 1,000 pounds pulverized cow manure;
put up compost, I, ou the SOtii, put 200 pounds
per acre under cotton; als* put two spooniul*
in tko corn hill. 1 think it paid me 100 per
cent-, ia yield, So per cent, in cultivation.
C. A. UilreaTH.
Mr. Baxter--! have used Ktiwan Dissolved
Bone for composting with cotton seed and sta
ble manure lor the last three years, and am
satisfied it is the best and cheapest thing sold,
aiul the only way farmers ought to use guano.
1 usually mix 110 pounds cot lon seed to one ton
of the bone, and this year, bad it not been lor
the two months’ drought, would not have
counted under a bale of cotton pr acre; as it
is, 1 will average all over my crop where 1
used the bone two bales to three acres, which
is as much as I cau do with regular guano.
Oct. 19, 1876. J. N T , Dobbs.
Faikmount, October 14,1876. Mr. T.W. Bax
ter—Agent for Sale Ktiwan Dissolved Bone—
Dear Sir: Last year I used eight sacks Ktiwan
Bone, which I composted witn cotton seed and
stable manure, making the heap of about
equal quantities of stable manure and cotton
ceed and Acid Phosphate or Dissolved Bone,
and now I look npou the mixture as very near
ly equal in value ton for ton with the regular
manipulated guanos—taking price into con
sideration, much better. J. P. Lewis.
Mr. T. W. Baxter, Agent of Etivvan Dis
solved Bone—Dear Sir: 1 used a half toil of
Ktiwan Dissolved Bone composted at the rate
of six to one—in other words, 1 made H orn the
half ton three tons of compost, each ton of
which J think equal to a ton of the regular
guano. 1 shall certainly use it altogether in
the future, f used cotton seed altogether al
most, and with a good stand would have made
I.UOU pounds of seed cotton per acre.
October 21,1876. , M. A. Wheeler.
Cakteksvillk, November 21,1876.—Mr. Bax
ter.—Having used your Wundo Acid Phos
phate lor two years, I can safely say it is
highly commendable, and urge all farmers
who wish to raise corn or cotton to give it*a
trial. There is no other which excels it for
corn. Buy the VTiuulo Acid Phosphate, try it
under vour corn, and don’t plant much cotton;
raise your own hogs, and be independent.
C. Y. Gi.mes.
Stii.Kßßo.ro, Ga., November 23, 1876.—Mr. T.
W. Baxter—l used the Wap do Acid Phosphate
I purchased of you this year on both cotton
and corn; composted Jwith cotton seed and
stable manure, as is usual, and think it at
least doubled mv crop of cotton, to the best of
mv judgment. I look upon it as being the
best tiling 1 ever used, and is certainly cheaper
than regular guano. 1 recommend it to any
one. j. W. Harris.
CARTEitsvn.LE, Ga., November IS, 1870.-'Mr,
T. W. Baxter—Dear Sir: i have used now for
two seasons the Ktiwan Dissolved Bone. 1
have also used sevt ral other brands of guano.
1 used the Ktiwan Bone composted with cot
ton seed by directions, under both cotton and
corn, and have no hesitation in saying it is by
far the best thing 1 have ever used, and shall
continue its use as long as it pays me as It has
done. It is the best corn manure 1 ever saw.
John VV, Foster.
Taylorsville, Ga., November 27,1876--Mr.
T.W. Baxter—Dear Sir: The Nitnito Soluble
Bono 1 bought of you gave entire satisfaction,
amt 1 can with all sincerity recommend it to
anv one. f like it better than anything 1 have
ever used, as it is a permanent fertilizer, when
composted with cotton seed and stable ma
nure as per tho directions. I ustid it on both
cotton and corn with good effect.
B. T. Leake.
Kingston, November 27, 1870—Sir: The Ktl-.
wan Dissolved Bone for composting with cot
ton seed, that I purchased of you for the past
two years, has given entire satis!action Jpnh
on cotton and corn; and wheat sown on cotton
land where the Dissolved Bone had been used,
was much belter than on land twice us fertile,
but upon which no fertilizer had* been used. 1
can recommend it as a very superior article
for composting with cottonseed.
Yours respcctUiliy, A. B. Best.
Dear Sir: 1 used the U. S.Nat. l’ono on corn
at the rate of 150 pounds to the acre, composted
with cotton seed, one pound to three. The
corn was planted the Ist of June on land from
which a crop of rye had been cut for bay. The
yield Was about thirty bushels per. acre. A
small piece of the same field was planted at the
same time without any fertilizer, cultivated in
the same way, and yielding nothing. I think
the entire crop was due to the fertilizer.
December 5,1876. J* T. Noliius,
Cartkusville, Ga., November 3,1876—Mr, T.
W. Baxter—Dear Sir: I used this year one
halt ton Ktiwan Bone, and made a compost of
this halt ton. about two tons. 1 put it in as
usual about 200 pounds compost to the acre. I
made six bags to eight acres, which 1 think
doing pretty well. 1 nave used other guanos;
shall from this time on use nothing but Ktiwan
Dissolved Bone to compost. M. J. Guyton.

Bone I purchased of you on about, thirteen
acres ot land, ten in cotton and three In corn,
composted with cotton seed, stahlo manure
aud barn-yard manure, at about 150 pounds of
the National Soluble Bone per acre. Tho cot

this vear. 1 was persuaded by some or my

CAKTKHRViIt.t:. Ga., November Sti,
T. W. Baxtcr—Yhe Etiwan Dissolved Bone 1
used this rear gave me entire satisfaction, not
withstanding a dry season. I composted it as
usual, and by directions. It is a home-made
guano, and in this way at one-hail cost, at
least, of regular manipulated guano. I have
no hesitation in sa' ing that it comes up to all
that is claimed for it, and recommend all farm
ers to try it, and make home-made guano.
>V. W.fUCH.
I this year used one ton Etiwan Dissolved
Bone, and 1 look upon It as the best corn fer
tilizer I have ever‘used, being better for corn,
in my opinion, than for cotton. 1 look upon it
as fully doubling a corn crop, which, when the
price is taken into consideration, certainly
pays, I shall certainly used it next year on
my corn, if noton my corn and cot ton both.
