Is settled point with all Chemists and
\ sclenuhc Farmers, that Peruvian or any
other description of guano does not supplv n
the soil one-third of the necessary constituents
Tor the growth of all crops, on all soils: and
the analysis Of wheat, rye, corn oats. potatoes
TOBACCO, etc., prove the fact. Every one who
mas had any experience in the use of puano
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 bcst
PERUVIAN Guano, and preference given to II
as manure, being quite as effective in ito
acton Of inducing early maturity as puono
nut much more durable and terrifying 10 The
soil, and less volatile.
To the Tobacco Planters il will bn forn5
very beneficial. Tobacco contains n lor,o
amount OF mineral matter, which is being con-
tinuaily removed by the plant in solution, and
IL Is but reasonable TO suppose that the soil
must soon become exhausted of minerals n
none are returned as manure; the supply of
such deficiency may be found in the appiica-
non OF DE Burg, it being the means Of nro-
ducing great rapidity of growth during tho
first stages of the plant, carrying ii out of the
reacn OF the ravages OF the fly, and inducing
early maturity. 1t should be used at the ratc
OF to B cwt. to the acre-should be broadcast
or applied in the hill, where from its chemical
composition and deliquescent nature it attracts
considerable moisture and the plants will be
less liable to suffer from drought.
DR.. DAVID STEWART, Professor of chem
lstry at St Johns College, Annapolis. Md.
and Chemist to the Maryland State Agricultn,
raj Society-analyzes every lot of De Burg we
receive, and says, in his report to us
DE Burg's compound is much more general
ly valuable to the practical farmer than any
mixture Of phosphates and ammonia or manin

My experience in their use scparatclv in con-
trast with their combined influence, gives me
an assurance IN recommending compounds TO
all farmers, that prefer the common sense. or
empirical mode, TO any special manure In
other words, compound like De Burg's, is
more valuable than any one of its clements
which might separately sell for seven times the
| cost of the compound, unless we know that we
need one element only, and have an inexhaust-
ible supply Of all the rest"

my corn in the hill, and made barrels per

am satisfied from previous use Of it. that De
Burg is far superior to it in a dry season."
