either of these brands upon thefmosMavorable terms. It cannot be urged upon the planter too strongly, to buy nothing but the BEST GRADE ot Dissolved Bone. Aside from the beneficial results arising from using HIGH

Fair Mount, October 14, 1873 —Mr. T. IV. Bax
ter, Agent for sale Etiwan Dissolved Bone —Dear
Sir: Last year I used eight sacks Etiwan Bone,
which 1 composted with cotton seed and stable
manure, making the heap of about equal quan
tities of stable manure and cotton seed and Acid
Phosphate or Dissolved Bone, and now I look
upon the mixture as very nearly equal in value,
ton for ton, with the regularly manipulated
guanos—taking price into consideration, much
better. J - p - Lewis.
•
Mr. T. W. Baxter, Agent of Etiwan Dissolved
Bone—Dear Str-I used y % ton Etiwan Dissolved
Pone, composted at the rate of six to one—in
other words, I made from the half ton three tons
of compost, each ton of which I think equal to a
a ton of regular guano. I shall certainly use it
altogether in the future. I used cottonseed alto
gether almost, and with a good stand would have
made 1,000 pounds seed cotton to the acre.
Oct. 21, 1876. M. A. WHEELER.
Cartersville, Nov. 1876—Mr. Baxter: Having
used your Wando Acid Phosphate for two years,
I can safely say it is highly commendable, and
urge all farmers who wish to ruise corn or cot
ton to give it a trial. There is no other which
excels it for corn. Buy the W ando Aciil Phos
phate; try it under your corn and dont plant
much cotton; raise your own bogs and be inde
pendent. L- \ • Hemes.
Stilesboro, Ga., Nov. 26,1876 —Mr. T. W. Bax
ter: I used the Wando Acid Phosdhate I pur
chased of you this year on both cotton and corn,
composted with cotton seed and stable manure,
as is usual, and think it at least doubled my
crop of cotton, to the best of my judgment. I
look upon it as being the best thing 1 have ever
used, and is certainly cheaper than regular
guano. I can recommend it to any one.
J. W. Harris.
Cartersville, Ga., Nov. 18, 1876—Mr. T. W.
Baxter—Dear Sir: 1 have used now for two sea
sons, the Etiwan Dissolved Bone. I have also
used several other brands of guano. I used the
Etiwan Bone composted with cotton seed by di
rections, 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 nse
as long as it pays me as it has done. It is the
best eorn manure I ever saw.
John W. Foster.
Kingston, Nov. 27, 1876—Sir: The Etiwan Dis
solved Bone, for composting with cotton seed,
that I purchased of yojj. for the pasl two years,
has given entire satisfaction both on cotton aud
corn; and wheat sown on cotton land where the
Dissolved Bono had I Ikon used, was much better
than on land twice as fertile, but upon which no
fertilizer had been used. I eao recommend it as
a very superior article for composting with cot
ton seed. Very respectfully, A. B. Best.
Cartersville, Ga., Nov. 3, 1876—Mr. T. W.
Baxter: I used this year one-half ton Etiwan
Bone, and made a compost of this half ton, about
two tons. I put it in as usual about 200 lbs. to
the acre. I made six bags to eight acres, which
I think doing pretty well. I have used other
guanos—shall from this time on use nothing but
Etiwan Bone to compost. M. J. Guyton.
Cartersville, Ga., Dec. 6, 1876 —Mr. T. W. Bax
ter—Dear sir: you ask me my opinion of the
Wando Acid Phosphate and Etiwan Dissolved
Bone. I, as you know, purchased both, and both
give me satisfaction. I was among the first, if
not the first one, who used anything of the kind
in this section of the country, and have contin
ued its use ever since, which is the best recom
mendation I can give, and speaks for itself. I
coinpost in the usual way, aud have used it un
der both cotton and corn with good success.

Euharlee, Ga., Dec. 1, 1876—T. W. Baxter, Esq.
I cheerfully comply with your request to give my
opinion of the Acid Phosphate. I have used it
the last three years and do not hesitate to pro
nounce it an excellent fertilizer for cotton.. I
have tested it side by side with the sea fowl and
Soluble Pacific—both of which are good—and
have not been ablo to discover any difference in
the crops. Yours truly. G. A. Fink.
Kingston, Ga., Nov. 30, 1876—Mr. T. W. Bax
ter—Dear sir: We have used Wando Acid Phos
phate for several years and have tried it under
both cotton and coni, and can recommend it to
any one as being the cheapest thing a farmer can
use. We have used it alongside of some of the
most popular brands of regular guano, and think
the result now satisfactory. We compost as by
the directions with cotton seed, applying from
200 to 400 pounds of the mixture to the acre.
Calhoun & Sayre.
Cartersville, Ga„ Nov. 30, 1876—Mr. T. W.
Baxter—Dear Sir: I have used Etiwan Dissolved
Bone composted with cotton seed, right along
side with several other brands of guano, and can
say, taking into consideration the worth of the
cotton seed, I can manure my lands at a cost of
$2.75 per acre to the same amount of fertility and
productive of as good results, so far as my expe
rience goes, as I can with the regular guanos at
a cost of $6.50 per acre. I, therefore, use it alto
gether, and have ho hesitation in recommending
it to any one who desires to save and make his
guano at home. J. G. M. Montgomery.
Cartersville, Ga., Nov. 3, 1876—Mr. T. W.
Baxter—l have been using different guanos, pur
chased of you, for several years; I have also tried
lot scrapings, stable manure, and things of this
kind. Last, or rather this year, I was persuaded
by some of my friends, to try a little of the Eti
wan Dissolved Bone, and take pleasure in say
ing it is the best thing I have ever used. I used
only two sacks and am sufficiently pleased with
this trial to abandon everything else and use only
this. 1 shall increase my order another year.
W. H. Hood.
Cartersville, Ga., Nov. 26, 1876—Mr. T. W.
Baxter—The Etiwan Dissolved Bone I used this
year gave me entire satisfaction, notwithstand
ing the dry season. I composted it as usual and
by directions. It is a home-made guano, and in
this way, at one-half cost, at least, of regularly
manipulated guano. I have no hesitation in say
ing that it comes up to all that is claimed for it,
and recommend all farmers to try it, and make
lionic-made guanos. W. W, Rich.
Mr. T. W. Baxter—l used >£ ton Etiwan Dis
solved Bone this year, for the first time, and I
would say that it cost about one-half, or less,
what the regular guano does, per acre, and about
doubles my crop. I will use this always, when I
use any, as it pays better than anything I have
ever tried. R. F. Ellis.
Pine Log, Ga., Oct. 15, IS7B.
Afr. T. W. Baxter —Dear sir: In answer to your
inquiry as to how the Etiwan did this year, I
would say that it surpasses auy guano I have
ever used, and shall continue to use it when I
have cotton seed or stable manure to compost
with. I give it my hearty indorsement.
James Kennedy.
Cartersville, Oct. 12, 1878.
Mr. T. W. Baxter—l used % ton Etiwan Bone
this year, and composted with cotton seed, and
ut it on nine acres of ground. It pays me bet
ter than anything I ever used. I will, I think,
double my crop from its use, and shall continue
its use as it cost me about as much as ma
nipulated guano, and yields more.
Cartersville, Oct. 17, 1878. G. Y. Layton.
I used a little Etiwan Dissolved Bone on trial
and am much pleased, i composted it with sta
ble manure, about as usual, and it will more than
double my crop. It is by far the cheapest thing
I have ever used, and I will never use any other
when I have anything to compost with it.

full. It paid me all I could ask. Aaron Moss.
Leedville, Ga., Oct 31.
Mr. T. W. Baxter—Dear sir: I used a ton of
Etiwan Bone with cotton seed, composted about
three to one, and applied at the rate of about 300
pounds of the mixture per acre. I put it on in
this way, and 1 have up to this time picked eight
heavy bales off of fourteen acres, and certainly
expect to get one or two more. This is much
better than any manipulated guano I have ever
used. I shall use nothing else in the future. The
ballance of the ton went to manure my corn, aud
was used by my tenants, all of whom agree with
me that its pays well. Thqs. Pittard.
Cassville, Ga., Oet. 26,1878.
Mr. T. W. Baxter—Dear sir: I used a small
quantity (four sacks) of Etiwan Dissolved Bone,
and composted it with cotton seed and stable
manure, and made at least two tons. I manured
both my cotton and eorn, and I am satisfied it
paid me 100 per cent. It is the best, thing I ever
used, costing less and going further than regu
lar guano. I shall continue to use it and this is
the best evidence I can give of its merit. It pays
better on corn than cotton. Very truly.
W. L. Calm.
Mr. T. W, Baxter—l used this year, as you
know, four sacks Etiwan Bone on trial, and I
would say. at less than half the cost per acre, I
made at least one-third better crop of cotton than
I have made in years. I have used nearly all
kinds of guano, hut shall use the Etiwan Dis
solved Bone always from this out. I composted
with cotton seed and stable manure, about three
to one. Will give you an order as soon as I can
pitch my crop. G. B. Poster.
* $
Mr. T. W. Baxter—l am well pleased with the
Etiwan Bone purchased of you this season—it
pays me by far better than anything I have ever
used. You know I have always bought guano of
you, and have, as you know, bought several
brands of leading manipulated guanos, but the
Etiwan bone, used to compost with cotton seed
and st able manure, pays, by far, better than any
I have ever used, or at least one-half the cost. I
shall always use it. Yours truly.
J. A. Jeffrson.
Cartersville, Ga., October 21, 1878.
Mr. T. W. Baxter—Dear sir: I have used only
7 sacks of Etiwan Bone this year, for the first
time, on trial. I composted it with cotton seed,
as usual, and am well pleased with it, and shall
in future use nothing else. I estimate that it will
pay at least 100 per cent., and at a cost not ex
eoeiling $2 per acre, which is about one-third the
cost of manipulated guano. W. M. Brown,
Cassville, Oct. 24, 1878.
Mr. Baxter: Iu reply to your inquiry in re
gard to Etiwan Dissolved Bone, I will give you
liberty to write any certificate you may see fit,
and sign my name to it. It does all that you said
it would and more too. I composted with stable
mannre and cotton seed, as usual, about two or
three to one, and can manure my place all over
at one-fourth the cost of regular guano with as
good results. Yours truly’ M. J. Guyton.
Cartersville, Ga., Oct. 24,1878.
I have used Etiwan Dissolved Bone for two or
three years past for composting, having also used
Dixon (A) and other guanos, and must say that!
consider it the cheapest guano a man can buy, as
it makes a home-made guano equal to the reg
ular manipulated guanos, as well rs utilizing cot
ton seed and stable manure. I shall always use
this kind of guano when I use any. Would say
this year is hardly a fair test, owing to a two
mouths drought. A. Dams.
I bought from Mr. Baxter one-half ton Etiwan
Dissolved Bone—used 60 bushels cotton seed and
1,000 pounds of pulverized cow manure; put up
compost. I, on the 20th, put 200 pounds per acre,
under cotton; also put two spoonsful in the corn
hill. I think it paid me 100 per cent in yield, and
25 per cent, in cultivation. C. A. Gilreath.
Mr. T. W. Baxter: I have used Etiwan Dis

satisfied that it is the best and cheapest thing sold
and the only way farmers ougfit to use guano. I
usually mix about 100 bushels 'of cottou seed to
one ton of bone, and this year, had it not been for
the two months drought, would not have counted
under a bale of cotton per acre; as it is I will av
erage all over my crop where I used the bone
two bales to three acres, which is as much as I
can do with regular guano. J. N. Dobbs.

I have used the Etiwan Superphosphate Compost
with stable manure during thq past season, onj

duct per acre at least 50 per cent. O. Pinkerton-
Stegall’s Station, October.2s, 1876—Mr. T. W.
Baxter—Dear Sir: I purchased of yeu last year
one ton Etiwan Dissolved Bone, and mixed in
compost 110 bnshels cotton seed. This year has
been unfavorable for fertilizers of any kind,
owing to a long drought and early frost. I have
picked about three bags to five acres up to this
time, and think I will have at least one-fourth
of the cotton which won’t open, owing to early
frost. lam satisfied with a good season I would
have made a bale per acre. It is the best fertil
izer I have ever used. E.%tegalL.
Air. T. W Baxter—Dear sir: We purchased of
you a small quantity of your Etiwan Bone, and
•in reply to your question as to how it pays, we
would say it is cheaper than anything we have
ever tried, and that it gives entire satisfaction.
Yours truly, Bibb & Bko.
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 I have ever used. I bought one ton of
the Etiwan Bone, and composted the same with
80 bushels cotton seed and near one ton of stable
manure, and put the same on twenty acres o“
laud, and planted in cotton. I left a strip where
I put no fertilizers, and the balance fertilized and
picked the same separate, and from the unfer
tilized I gathered 512 pounds per acre, aud
where fertilized 1,160 pounds. J. E. Smith.
Cassville, Ga., October 25,1876—Air. T. W. Bax
ter, Agent Etiwan Dissolved Bone—Dear Sir:
Last year I used three sacks of Etiwan Bone for
the first time, and consider it the best thing 1
ever saw. I used it with cottou seed and stable
mannre; and it comes fully up to my expecta
tions. I shall from this on use nothing else. It
increased my crop at least 400 pounds seed cot
ton per acre; and I made from the 600 pounds
bone 1)£ ton compost, and put 300 pounds per
acre.
S. C. Smith.
Cartersville, Ga„ October 10, 1876—Mr. T. W.
Baxter—Dear Sir: With reference to my expe
rience in the use of Etiwan Dissolved Bone, I
would say that as you know, I have bought gu
ano of different brands for several years, and I
look upon the Etiwan Bone as the best thing for
the price I have ever tried, as it produces when
composted with cotton seed, equally as good re
results as the manipulated guanos at about, to
the best of my calculation, one third the cost.
Samuel L. Pittard.
Euharlee, Ga.,- October 28, 1876—1 used this
year, as you know, a small quantity of Wando
Acid Phosphates, and look upon it as beitg all
right. I used it right along side of Bales guano,
and look upon it as being the best guano I 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 twenty per cent, better than Bale’s
guano, I mean that 200 pounds of the compost i
20 pr cent, better than 200 pounds of Bale’s.

mark
Euharlee, Ga., October 25, 1876—Mr. T. W.
Baxter—l used last year five tons Wando Acid
Phosphate, increasing my order, as you know,
from two to three tons per season. I usually put
about two tons cotton seed to one of Phosphate,
making in all three tons; and look upon each one
of these three tons as being as good as one ton of
the regular guano. I have used Dixon’s [A]
Guano, and Sea Fowl Guano, and consider this
by far the best I have ever used. I shall use it
altogether hereafter when I have cotton seed to
compost. I have used it under both cotton and
corn and if anything it is better for corn than cot
ton. L. D. Jolly.
Cartersville, Ga., November 20, 1876—Mr. T.
W. Baxter—Dear Sir: The Etiwan Dissolved
Bone purchased qfjtm this season has given me
satisfaction. I look upon it as the best thing a
planter can use, as it enrbles him to make his
guano at home, utilizing cotton seed and stable
manure, and furnishing a permanent fertilizer.
It has been a bad year on my guano. I look
upon it as costing about half as m uch as the reg
ular guano, which is, of course, a great gain.
Joseph G. Lowry.
Cartersville, Ga., November 14, 1876—Mr. T.
W. Baxter—Dear Sir; I composted the one-half
ton Etiwan Bone I bought of you last spring in
the following way: I mixed the one-half ton
bone with about one-half ton cotton seed, and
one-half ton or more of manure and rich
earth, making in all about tw r o tons of compost.
I put about 200 pounds of the mixture per acre
for cotton, and about a handful to the hill for
corn. I think it fully doubled my cotton and
corn crop both, and I had a very bad stand of
corn. 1 made the same cotton on two acres that
one of my renters did on the same land on six
acres. I have used different kinds of guanos,
and like this much better than any I have ever
tried. S. Venable.
Stilesboro, dSL, November 12, 1876 —Mr. T. W.
Baxter—Dear Sir: I used the Etiwan Dissolved
Bone I ordered through you, as agent, iu the us
ual w ay, composting with cotton seed, about two
tons cotton seed to one ton of Bone, as usual, and
applied about 400 pounds of the mixture per acre.
I am well satisfied with the result as it pays well.
I like it especially for corn. I made twenty-five
bushels of corn per acre on land that I know
would not naturally yield more than ten bushels
per acre. It has been an exceedingly dry year
and unfavorable for the use of any fertilizer.
\Vm. Everedge.
Rockmart, Ga., November 29, 1876—Mr. T. W.
Baxter —Dear Sir: I have never usedfany Acid
Phosphate until this year. The Wando Acid
Phosphate I bought of you this year I composted
about one ton of acid to two tons of cotton seed,
w ith the same portion of stable manure. I used
the mixture on both cotton and corn with highly
satisfactory results. I used it alongside with
Bale’s Guano, and think the yield is better than
Bale’s, or any other guano I [have ever tried,
am satisfied it is the best and cheapest manure
we can buy, and shall hereafter use nothing else
F. M. Randall.
Cassville, Ga., December 7, 1876—Air. T. W.
Baxter—Dear Sir: I commenced purchasing Et
iwan Dissolved Bone several years ago, and have
continued its use ever since. I am convinced
from repeated experiments with other manures,
that it is the chaapest article a farmer can use,
and when composted, gives a guano containing
all the elements of the manipulated guano. I
compost fn the usual way, and am so well satis
fied with the result that I shall continue its use
whenever I have anything to compost it with. I
take pleasure in adding my recommendation to
a good thing. My expeiience is that it does not
fire like regular guano, and that rich earth and
stable manure is as good to compost with as cot
ton seed. AY. Hardy.
Cartersville, Ga., November 25,1876—Mr. T. W.
Baxter—Dear Sir: I have used Etiwan Dissolved
Bone for composting with cotton seed for three
years, and am better pleased with it than any
thing that I have ever tried. I composted in the
usual w r ay, putting from three to four hundred
pounds per acre of the compost, estimating to
put in about 100 pounds per acre of bone. I esti
mate the cost per acre to be about $2.50, while
regular guano costs from two to three times as
much. I shall continue its use.
W. I. Be* t ham.
Cartersville, Ga., November 26, 1876—Mr. T.
W. Baxter: I have used the Etiwan Dissolved
Bone with good success, and have no hesitation
in adding my certificate to many others, as to its
merit. I like it better than any I have ever used,
and I have used several brands of the regularly
manipulated guanos. I compost with cotton seed
and stable manure, and look at the mixture as a
home-spun guano, possibly equal in value to reg
ular guano at least one-third the cost. I would
recommend farmers to buy this, and make their
own guano at home. J. H. Gilreath.
Stegall’s Station, December 5, 1876—Mr. T. W.
Baxter—Dear Sir: In reply to your enquiry w r ith
reference to the Wando Acid Phosphate, I can
only say that, as you know, in 1875 I bought one
ton, and this year bought of you eight tons,
which speaks for itself. I composted it with cot
ton seed and stable manure in the usual way, and
my continued use gives my opinion of the article.
C. M. Jones.
Stilesboro Mills, Ga., December 2, 1876—Air.
Thos. W. Baxter: We have used the Etiwan
Phosphate for the past two years, and regard it
as one of the best fertilizers that we have used
(price considered) for cotton and corn. We have
never used it for wheat, but believe it would be
superior to any other, from the fact that it has
no equal, in our knowledge, for corn.
T. A. Rogers & Son.
Cassville, Ga., December 6, 1876-Mr. T. AY.
Baxter: I used the Etiwan Dissolved Bone, one
half ton, with 700 pounds cotton seed and 3,000
pounds cow-pen manure, forming a compost of
the whole. I left two rows in middle of patch of
cotton without anything under them, and they
yielded just half what the land did where I ap
plied tlio compost. I, therefore, estimate the
gain at about 100 per cent.
Nathan Land.
Stilesboro, Oct. 27, 1876—Air. T. W. Baxter-
Dear Sir: I have used Etiwan Dissolved Bono
two years, and it has always given me satisfac
tion. The way I manage is, that about January
I put about 200 pounds cotton seed to 100 pounds
of the bone, mixing it by the directions. Tt is a
permanent fertilizer to the land, and 1 think, in
my case, doubled my crop. I used it under cot
ton, and apply from 150 to 200 pounds of the com
post per acre. J. P. Bradley.
Cherokee County, Ga., October 24, 1876—Mr. T.
W. Baxter, Cartersville, Ga.—Dear Sir: The Eti
wan Dissolved Bone—bought of you last spring—
was mixed with equal weights of cotton seed and
stable manure, and put in drills, about 300 pounds
to the acre for the 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.
Euharlee, Bartow County, October, 1876—Mr.
T. W. Baxter—Dear Sir: This is the first year I
have used Wando Acid Phosphate to compost
with cotton seed, and have no hesitation in say
ing that, with my experience, no fertilizer excels
it. I composted with cotton seed and stable ma
nure, and think I doubled my crop of cotton. I
shall always recommend the Wando Acid Phos
phate. G. L. Davis.
Cassville, Ga., October 30,1876—Mr. T. w. Bax
ter: This year for the first time, I used 8 sacks
Etiwan Bone, using also, as you are aware, 1 ton
Soluble Pacific Guano. I made about 1 ton of
compost with the three sacks. I think the ton of
compost equal in productive value to the tou of
guano, at of course, much less cost. I used it
mostly under corn, and enough under cotton to
experiment with the guano, and I think it equal
ly as good. With ordinary seasons, at a handful
of compost to the hill, it would have thribbled
my corn crop. B. F. Posey.

Carteraville, Ga.-T w. Baxter—Dear Sir:—l
have used your Etiwan Dissolved Bone, compost
ed with cotton seed, and I must confess that it is
the best guano I have ever used. It paid hand
somely on both corn and cotton this year. It is
the farmer’s nearest road to the dollar. I don’t
expect to use any other as long as I can get the
Dissolved^one. S. w. Lei.and.
I this year U3ed one ton Etiwan Dissolved Bone,
and I look upon it as the best corn fertilizer I have
ever used, being better for corn, in my opinion
than for cotton. I look upon it as fully doubling
a corn crop, which, when the price is taken into
consideration, certainly pays. I shall certainly
use it next year on my corn, if not on my corn
and cotton both. F. M. Fleming.
Cartorsville, Ga., Nov. 23,1876—Mr. T. W. Bax
ter—Dear sir: I have used Etiwan Bone with
great success, and have no hesitation in giving
my endorsement as to its merits. I think it suits
our swamp land better than anything I have ever
tried, besides being, when put up in compost, a
permanent fertilizer. D. P. Brandon.
October 2, 1876—Mr. T. W. Baxter: In reply to
your inquiry as to the value of the Etiwan Dis
solved Bone I purchased of you lasi season, I
would say that I look upon it as being, by long
odds, the best fertilizer I have ever used, both
with reference to price and quality,
T. J. Pyron.
Mr. Baxter: In reply to your inquiry with ref
erence t- Etiwan Dissolved Bone purchased of
you last season, I would say that I look upon it
as the best I have ever used, being, in my opin
ion, a permanent fertilizer, and equally as good
as the high-priced fertilizers at one-third the
cost. This year has been unfavorable to fertili
zers, and is hardly a fair test. D. B. Cunyus.
Euqarlee, Oct. 21, 1876—Mr. T. W. Baxter-
Dear sir: We have used Wando Acid Phosphate
for two years past, and are convinced that it is
all that is claimed for it. Previous to this we
have used diflerent brands of the regular guano.
We usually put about one ton acid mixed with
two tons of stable manure and cotton seed, mak
ing three tons in all, and apply about 300 pounds
per acre, which produces equally as well as 200
p ounds of regular guano. We shall always use
this if it keeps up to the standard, as it is a per
manent improvement to the land, we think.
R. B. Couch & Sons.
Fair Mount, Ga., October 25, 1876—Mr. T. W.
Baxter, Cartersville—Dear Sir: The Etiwan Dis
solved Bone which I purchased of you last season
was composted with cotton seed and stable ma
nure, and used for the garden aud corn crop. The
result, notwithstanding the severe drought is
highly satisfactory. Yours, Respectfully,
W. M. Dyer.
Casstille, Ga., October 24, 1876—Mr. T. W. Bax
ter—Dear Sir: We have tried the Etiwan Dis
solved Bone, purchased of you last spring, and
take pleasure in adding our certificate as to its
merits. We were induced to try it from the re
port of those who had used it for several season*
past, and say without any hesitation that it is the
cheapest thine that a farmer can buy, as it ena
bles him to utilize his cotton seed and stable ma
nine, and makes a home-made guano. This
year has been exceedingly bad on fertilizers of
any kind, owing to a two months drought.
Yours truly, G. 11. Gilreath, Jr.
J. K. Gilreath.
H. S. Gilreath.
Euharlee, Ga., November 27, 1876—Mr. T. W.
Baxter—Dear Sir: This is to certify that I have
purchased of you both Wando Acid Phosphate
and National Soluble Bone, and am equally
pleased with both. Yours truly,
F. R. Calhoun.
Mr. T. W. Baxter—Sir: The Etiwan Dissolved
Bone you sold me last winter has proved on my
grey land as good, if not better than any manure
I have used within the last eight years under my
cotton. Nov. 23, 1876. J. P. S. Dunn.
Mr. T. W. Baxter—Dear Sir—l have used Eti
wan Bone year, composting with stable
manure and cotton seed, and can unhesitatingly
recommend it, I willingly give it my endorse
ment. John Leak.
Nov. 15, 1879.
