GuanO excelIedby DE BURG

TT is settled point with all Chemists and
IL scientific Farmers, that Peruvian or anv
other description Of guano does not suppIy tn
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 lis continued application
Many experiments have been made recently
relative to its value as compared with the best
/ Peruvian Guano, and preference given TO il
as u manure, being quite as effective in lis
action of inducing carly maturity as puano
/ but much more du, able and fortifyine TO the
soil, and less volatile.
TO the Tobacco Planters, it will be found
very beneficial Tobacco contains a laroe
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 a manure; the supply Of
such deficiency may be found "A the anpiica-
/ ton of De Burg, it being the means of pro-
ducing great rapidly Of growth during the
/ first stages Of the plant, carrying il out Of the
reach Of the ravaecs Of the fly, and inducing
early maturity. II should he used at the rate
of to 3 cwt to The acrc--should be broadcast
or applied in the hin, where from its chemical
composition and deiquCsCCnt nature, it attracts
considerable moisture and the plants will be
less liable to suflei from drought.
DIR. DAVID STEWART, Professor Of chem
istry at st. Johns College Annapolis Md,
and Chemist 10 the Maryland otate Aciicultu-
raj Society--analyzes every lot Of De Burg we
receive and says, in his rcroIt to u.s.
ode Burg compound is mHch more general
ly valuable to the practical farmer han any
mixture of phoqhltes and ammonia or manip-
ulatcd guano. There are other elements in De
| 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 phospbatcs 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 n 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 common sense. or
empirical mode, to any special manure. In
other words, compound like De Burgs, 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 clement only, and have an inexhaust-
Idle supply Of all the rest"
