FISON'S FERTILIZERS

Mr Jo«eph Qodber representing Mo'sra Joteph Kiaon and Co, Ipswich, England, ia now m this dhtriot. His object is to put before the farming community the advantages to be derived from tbe naa of chemical fertilizers inch as are manu factured by his firm at tboir extensive worki at Ip3wloh. A few weeks ago we received a catalogue and price Hat of the fertiltasrs prepared by the firm and were astonished to ace the -extent of tbe busi* nesi transacted by the firm Ia the United Kingdom, the continent and America. Lately the firm have established depots for the dhpoßil of their fertilizers In the eoloniet, and m this colony at all the principal ports stores have been seemed and agents appointed to posh the sale of tbe firm's manufacturers and let the agricultural, the horticultural, and ever the pastoral commnnity realise how much benefit would aoorae to their Interests by the adoption of the fertiliz;ra which they prepare. Tbe manufacture of ohem!cal fertili zers Is the result of the application of ohemlstry to agrionlturp, bo that fertill- Z3«, differlag m mechanical and ohemlcal composition, ctn be manufactured to suit the requirements of every orop. At home-tnese fertilizers are ye y largely mcd, having replaced to a considerable extent the me of guano: while the return to the farmer oa the sum ex — ponded 1b their purohsas la considerable. It U of coarse necessary to be careful that only fertllzars of good quality are pur ohased, otherwise the results may be disastrous. An exchange which we take to be sn authority on tbe question of ohemloat fertilization nay a ; — " When we hear of tbe eastern counties of England we natarally think of the scientific farming of Coke, Meehi, and Clara Sewell Read, with a boat of other agricultural giants : and we have learned to associate lpsvloh with farm machinery and manures, Cambridgeshire and Bedfordshire, with other adjioent districts, have vast beds of natural phosphates, the fossilised remains of animals which died perhaps before Adam ever wedded Eve. Theßo •re largely worked up by the artificial manure manufacturer* cf Ipswich, pro minent among whom Is tbe firm of Fioon and Company, some 40 years m the busi' seas whose rcpresenta ive i 3 now among ns. Mr Joseph Fiaon was one of the first«to turn to practical use these valuable deposits, whose original discovery was due to the Rev Dr Henalow, of Hitchem, In Suffolk. But fhe resources of the firm are not confined to East Anglia— from Canada to Chill, from the Bight of Benin to tbe Bay of Panama, they ransack every climate for the vegetable, animal, or fossilised ingredients of th*lr manures. Boot cultivation Is at the bottom of all profitable farming, a fact well-known to all occupiers of land m the Waikato, and from j& perusal of the numerous testi monials of this firm we notice a remark able consensus of opinion favorable to the value of Us manures In this particular lice. "The Channel Islands and the Oorn wall- Devon Peninsula are woll~kpow.n as the •hief sources of the, early, potato snpply of Loudon, and alike from the Press and from the farmers of these distrlo s e0r0.6 tha most satisfactory testimonials to tbe value of Flsod'b Fertilizers.. Of oouras enoh high farming as is an abso lute neceslty m long establlahed agulcul tora! countries auoh as England, would not pay here, but we may learn from the Eastern States of America tbe leeson that even the best virgin solle are not In exhauatlble, and withe at going so far we have the warning of South Australia and the Canterbury Plains before our eyes. " A serious defeot In artificial manures has long keen forced on the at'ention^of fflßtnets, namely, that while they Ino-eased theqaantlty,thequali:y of crops Is seriously impaired, and liability to the acoidenta of unfavourable seasons, and to the thousand and one inceofc aod other plagues of the agriculturist 1b greatly increased. Messrs Fison oialm, and we are bound to say are supported ia their assertions by a mass of evidence, that their manures are not only fret from this defeot, but increate tha vitality and qualify of the crop, besides producing larger quantities earlier m the lesson than can be asowei without their me. They maintain that their fertilisers , are, for Instance, speoifios against the / potato blight, and protect turnips from the fly. At the 188 C show of the Boyal Agricultural Society held at Norwich, the first pr!z9 of fifty guineas £07 the best 250 --•ore farm was won by a farmer who for many years htd,used ao Qhemlcal manures but theirs, nod the "Irish Farmers' Gszette," one of the most practical agri eujtagal journals at h me, speaks m terms Qf, unqualified praise of their manures, 9tke and meal. While en the aubjeot we may notloe thst a special variety 1b reojm- ' mended for sugtr-beet, and the wheat fertilizer, It Is claimed, Increases tho yield F t)y from 30 to 50 per oent." Oa many portions of the Canterbury yiiini, where repeated wheat cropp'tu has oxhautied the soil, an application of Fisoo'tf Fertilizers suited to the ease would, we are sure, result benefiolally TThore4hey have been used liberally the *» return has been moat beneficial. f

The reason of this de« mand is beoause we find m Haydook'^ New Liver Pills a wonderful and extra ordinary combination of oonoentrated medlolne. The Victories of Solence— Etootrlo Telegraphs, Steam and Printing —revolutionised the whole system of the globe, and made mankind wiser and bet* ter. So, althongh there are oountless Pills used for diseases and olaimlng muoh as to their merit, tha remarkable dls* oovery of Dr Haydook has ocllpsed them all, and has founded a New Medioal Sys- tem. . The Doctors, whose vast doses of fonr or five pills enfeeble the itomaoh and paralyse the bowels, must give way to the man who restores health and appetite with ond or two of his extraordinary Vegetable PUls.
