Guano excesHedby DE BURG

IS settled point with all Chemists and
scientific Farmers, that Peruvian or any
other description Of guano does not supply TO
the soil one-thrd of the necessary constituents
for the growth Of all crops, on all 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 n,1ano.
knows that the land becomes exhausted and
Impoverished by its continued application
Many experiments have been made reeentIv,
relative toits value as-compared with the hest
Peruvian Guano, and preference given TO it
as a manure, being quite ms effective in its
action of inducing early maturity as puano.
but much more durable and fortifyinc TO the
soil, and less volatile
To the Tobacco Planters, it will lie found
very beneficial. Tobacco contains large
amount Of mineral matter, which is being con-
tinually 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 q manure the supply Of
such deficiency may be found in the anplica-
ton Of De Burg, it being the means Of pro-
ducing great rapidity of growth during the
first stages Of the plant, carving il out Of the
reach of the ravages Of the fly, and inducing
early maturity. ID should he used at the rate

DIR. DAVID STEWART. Professor Of chem.
istry at St. Johns College, Annapolis Nd.
and Chemist 10 the Maryland State Aericultu-
raj Society--analyzes every lot Of De Burg we
receive, and says, in his report e Us:
DE Burg's compound is mHch more general
ly valuable to the practical farmer than any
mixture of phosphatcs and ammonia or manip-
ulated guano There are other elements in Dc
Burg TO which attach as much importance as
ammonia and phosphates, and cannot pass a
cargo where one Of these is absent, however
much ammonia and phosphatcs 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 Pusey, in series Of 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 cannon sense. or
empirical mode, to any special manure. In
other words a compound like De Burgs, Is
more valuable than any one OF lis 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 incxhaugt-
ible supply Of all the rest"
