Agricultural Improvement.

MrThomas E. Blount, of Sussex, Va, reports
and experiment made as to the comparative
merits of guano and barn-yard manure on corn,
which resulted as follows:
Manured land 20 bushels per acre guanoed
land 80; and the unmanured yielded IS bush
els per acre.
j. NJ. Dantzler, Esq, of Orangeburg, reports
for the Southern AgrjculturaJjsta an experiment
made by him on poor cotton land, which result
ed very favorably. He writes
The effect of the guano was manifested by
the time the cotton was a week old, and
was most marked during the whole season
and the yield was astonishing. The acre
without guano, and an acre Of the guanoed,
were gathered carefully in good weather,
and weighed when picked out, and the
former produced one hundred and thirty-fve
pounds of seed cotton, whilst the latter produ-
ced five hundred and eighty-one pounds. AL
will admit that the land was poor enough for
an experiment Of this sort. 1t will be ascer-
tanned that the guanoed acre, produced 44C
lbs more than the unguanoed acre, and ifthret
pounds of seed will make one of clear cotton
YOU will have 148 pounds of clear cotton
which, if valued at eight cents per pound, il
worth Sl1 81. The additional cotton seeC
/ value at one dollar as manure, making tht
total product Of the guano Sl2 81. Deduc
from this the cost Of the guano applied to tn
acre, which was $500, and it will give Sc s
as the net gain. This is over hundred pc
cent on the amount expended in guano.
