the compactness of the roots, deprive the,
guano of its proper facilities for action. If
dry time should occur after it has been
sowed, 1t will remain in a crude state for
the want of proper moisture from the earth
or atmosphere, and therefore, in such case
and no other, 1t may act somewhat like
"blister," as an intelligent member of
well known agricultural society termed it.
Now these objections do not apply to crops
of quick growth, such .as wheat, rye or
oats, inasmuch as the guano has twofold
opportunities 10 obtain degree Of moisture
adapted 10 its wants first by that exudng
from the soil, which is open and permeabie
by recent ploughing and second by the
dampness created by lha almost immediate
shading ofthe ground as soon as vegeta-
ton commences. Hence it is not judicious
to top-dress grass with guaao unless a
moist season should ensue bat the more
reliable substitute Of barn-yard manure
would be in this case, preferable.
Finally, do not wish to be understood
as adopting. .guano TO the exclusion OF baru-
yard manure ; but merely as valuable nd
junct to aid the extension of this much
neglected source of enriching the farm, and
which is too often left to its own manage.

UrWe are indebted to our friend Will
liam J. Swinburne, the Know Nothing
Mayor elect for an immense egg. one OF
the largest that we ever saw. The egg
was laid at the precise moment when it
was asceriaincd that brother Swinburnc
: was elected il is supposed That the firing
OF those cannon rather hasiened its advent
a little. We do not value the egg as high
ly as we otherwise should, had we not as
certained, on enquiry OF brother Swinburne,
that il was laid by Shanghae hen; he
claims however that the hen was born on
American soil,-but there is a question
about this, the same as there is in regard
to the birth. place OF Chief Matscll, OF New
York. Brother Curtis is to investigate the
gencaloey of the hen. and if it is ascertain
ed that it is purely American, our friend
brother Carr will fire grand salute in hon
or OF the triumph Of this important matter
of Americansm. Brother Swinburne will
not be allowed to keep any genuine Shang-
hae hens hereafter.
We fear that the faithful have made
mistake in electing brother Swinburne
Mayor, for he has loo much fancy for for
