Guano exceeded by DE RVsgea;

/ 7 is a settled point with all Chemists and
Z scientific Farmers, that Peruvian or any
other description Of guano docs not supply TO
the soil one-third Of the necessary constituents
for the growth of all crops, on al soils; and
the analysis Of wheat, rye, corn, cats potatoes,
tobacco, etc, prove the fact. Every one who
has had any experience in the use of guano.
| knows that the land becomes exhausted and
Impoverished by its continued application,
Many experiments have been made recently
relative to its value as compared with the best
Peruvian Gnano, and a preference given to it
as = manure, being quite as effective in lis
action Of inducing early maturity as ruano
but much more durable and fortifving 10 the
soil, and less volatile.
10 the Tobacco Planters, il will be found
/ very beneficial. Tobacco contains a large
amount Of mineral matter, which is being con-
tinualy removed " the plant in solution. ana
it is but reasonable to suppose that the soil
must soon become exhausted Of mincrals. if
none are returned as a manure; the supply OF
such deficiency may be found in the appiica-
tion Of De Burg it being the means Of re-
ducing great rapdity of growth during the
first stages of the plant, carrying it ont OF the
reach Of the raYages of the fly and inducing
carly maturity. 1t should be used AZ the ratc

Dir. DAVID STEWART, Professor of chem

and Chemist to the Maryland State ApricuItu-
raj Society -annlyzes every lot of Dc Burg we
receive, and says, in his report to us:
! DE BuTg's compound is much more general
Fly valuable to The practical farmer than any
mixture Of phosphates and ammonia or manip-
ulated guano. There are other elements in De
! Burg TO which attach much importance as
ammonia and phosphates and cannot pass u
cargo where one Of these is absent, however
much ammonia and phosphates are present.

My experience in their use separately, in con-
trast with their combined influence. cives me
an assurance in recommending compounds TO
all farmers, that prefer the coAip3nH sense. or
empirical mode, to any special manure In
other words, compound like De Burps. il
more valuable than any one Of its elements
which might separately sell for seven times the
cost OF the compound, unless we know that We

WIN. BRADDOCK. ESQ. Rockville Mont
gomery CO., Nd, says u applied Dc Burg to
my corn in the HILL and made 6 barrels per
acre. put in a small portion Of same quality
OF land IN corn, without De Burg. and am sa-
tisfed there was not ! barrels per acre on if.
dld not use Peruvian Guano last season but
am satisfied, from previous use OF it, that De
Burg is far superior to it in a dry season.
CHARLES \. WORTHINGTON, Unity.
Montgomery CO., Nd, SAYS: Il applied Dc
Burg in the hill TO my corn on poor knobs in
various parts Of the field, and raised . 10 10
! barrels per acre, while upon the best portion OF
| the field where there was no De Burg only
/ raised barrels PER acre. ] also drilled in
some with Potatoes, say eighth Of an acre. and
J raised 229 bushels from it, $50 bushels per
acre. look upon De Burg as a powerful fer
tillzer, fully equal to No. I Peruvian Guano,
and much more durable"
BENZ. WHITE, Esq. P6o3csyille Montao-
merry CO., Nd, Jan. 8, 1851 says: 81 applied
tor OF De Burg on IA acres of corn, n hand
full to three hills The corn came up wen. and
grew of very fine until the last Of June, when
the drought set in. and injured tho crop worry,
much, owing to its advanced state vet be-
lieve the crop of corn is much better than il
would have been had there been no De Burg
applied believe De Burg is equally rs good
as No. Peruvian Guano On corn applied in
the hill"
