Guano exceIIed by DE BURG


TT is a settled point with all Chemists and
Il scientific Farmers, that Peruvian or any
other description of guano does not supply to
the soil one-third of the necessary constituents
for 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
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 Guano, and preference given to ii
as a manure, being quite as effective in Its
action Of inducing early maturity as guano,
but much more durable and terrifying to the
soil, and less volatile. ......-
To the Tobacco Planters, it will be found
very beneficial. Tobacco contains large
amount Of mineral matter, which is being con-
tnually removed by the plant in solution, and
it is but reasonable to suppose that the soil
must soon become exhausted of minerals, if
none are returned as a manure; the supply Of
such deficiency may be found in the applica-
ton Of De Burg, it being the means Of pro-
ducing great rapidity Of growth during the
first stages Of the plant, carrying it out Of the
reach of the ravages of the fly, and inducing
early maturity. II should be used at the rate
of 2 to 3 cwt. to the acre-should be broadcast
or applied in the hill, where from its chemical
composition and deliquescent nature, il attracts
considerable moisture, and the plants will be
less liable to suffer from drought
DR.. DAVID STEWART Professor of chem
istry at St. Johns College, Annapolis, Md,
and Chemist to the Maryland State Agricultu-
raj Socicty-analyzes every lot of De Burg we
receive, and says, in his report TO u.s.
DE Burg's compound is much more general
ly valuable to the practical farmer than any
~
ulated guano. There are other elements in De
Burg to which | attach as much importance as
ammonia and phosphates, and cannot pass
cargo where one Of these is absent, however
much ammonia and phosphates are present"
Again he says =" Peruvian Guano, Hickory
Ashes, and Super-phosphate of Lime separate
ly applied TO land, exhausts it, las general
rule) upon the principles established by Laws
and Pussy, in series OF I years experiments.
My experience in their use separately, 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 elements
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"
WIN. BRADD0CK, Esq, Rockville, Mont
gomery CO., Md, says: 81 applied De Burg to
my corn in the hill, and made barrels ner
acre. put in small portion of same quality
OF land in corn, without De Burg, and am sa-
tisfied there was not barrels per acre on il.
did not use Peruvian Guano last season, but
am satisfied, from previous use OF it, that DE
Burg is far superior to il in dry season.
CHARLES A. WORTHINGTON, Unity,
Montgomery CO., Nd, says: 81 applied De
Burg in the hill to my corn on poor knobs, in
various parts Of the field and raised 8 to 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
raised 22l bushels from it, 1870 bushels per
acre. look upon De Burg as powerful fer
tilizer, fully equal 70 No. Peruvian Guano,
and much more durablei t..-.tF
BENZ. WHITE, Esq, Poolesville, Montgo-
merry CO., Md, Jan. 8, 1857, says: 81 applied
ton Of De Burg on Ia acres Of corn, hand.
full to three hills The corn came up well, and
grew off very fine until the last of June, when
the drought set in, and injured the crop very
much, owing to its advanced state, yet 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 as good
as No: Peruvian Guano on corn applied in
the HILL"
