the growers OF poultry. He has con-
sented should pass il over to you. to
publish or otherwise, as your better
judgemnt. may dictate. Last Febru-
airy he had, among a flock OF tur-
KEYS hatched the preceding September,
which he kept inclosed about his barn,
one that for several weeks seemed to
become more and more dropping, and
destined to die. He caught it, and
finding its crop very full and hard. and
presuming that he should lose it at any
rate. he bound its neck, wings and
legs, to keep it from huttering. and
proceeded with sharp razor to open
and lay back the skin Of its breast, and
then the crop, which he found nearly
bursting with dried hay. Of which he
picked out nearly las he says) enough
to Gil his hat! and then with needle
and thread Of fine silk carefully sew
ed mp the opening, and kept it for
few days quiet in warm box, eating
lightly Of soft bread soaked in milk
when it was allowed to run at large
with the rest Of the flock. In May sue
ceeding It weighed twenty four pounds
and might, with extra feeding, hav,
been made to weigh much more.

Tested hy the time the cotton was q
week old, and was most marked during
the whele season I; and the yield Was
astonishing. The acre without guano,
and an acre Of the guanoed, were ga
thered in good weather, and weighed
when picked out, and the former pro-
duced one hundred and thirty-fve
pounds Of seed cotton, whilst the latter
produced FIVE hundred and eighty one
pounds. All will admit that the land
was poor enough for an experiment Of
this sort. II will be ascertained that
the guanoed acre produced 446 pounds
more tksn the unguanoed acre, and il
three pounds Of seed will make one of
clear cotton, you will have l4s pounds
Of clear cotton, which, lf valued at eight
cents per pound. is worth sll "a. The
additional cotton seed l value at one
dollar as manure, making the total pro-
duct Of the guano sIa.s4. Deduct
from this the cost Of the guano applied
to the acre. which was 5000. and IL will
give s6.84 as the net gain. This is
over a'hpndred per cent. on the amount
expended in guano.
