the analysis Of wheat, rye, corn, oats notatoas

has had any experience in the use of puano
knows That the land becomes exhausted ana

Many experiments have been made recentlv
relative to its value as compared with the bcst
Peruvian Guano, and a preference given TO il
as manure, being quite as effective in its
action Of inducing early maturity as guane.

soil, and less volatile.
To the Tobacco Planters, it will be fopnd
very beneficial. Tobacco contains a LARGO
amount of mineral matter, which is being con-
tinually removed by the plant in solution, and
1t 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. 1t 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, it 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, Nd.
and Chemist to the Maryland State Agricult,l-
raj Society-analyzes every lot Of De Burg we
receive and says, in hisreport to US:
DE Burg's compound is much more general
ly valuable to the practical farmer than any
,,xsf,, Cp,. 1. i
ulated 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 thcse is absent, however
much ammonia and phosphatcs are present"
Again he says :-'fPeruvian Guano, Hickory
Ashes, and Super-piosphate of Lime, separate
ly applied to land, sahausts it, las a general
rule) upon the principles established by Laws
and Pussy, in a series of years experiments.
Ny 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 a 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. BRADDOCK, Esq. Rockville. Mont
gomery CO., Mds says 81 applied De Burg to
my corn in the hill, and made barrels per
acre. put in q small portion of same quality
Of land in corn without De Burg, and am sa-
tsfed 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 it 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 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 224 bushels from it, 1870 bushels per
acre. look upon De Burg as a powerful fer
tili2er, fqlly equal to No. Peruvian Guano,
and much more durable"
BENZ. WHITE, Esq, Poolesyille. Monteo-
merry co., Nd, Jan. 8, 1851 says; ~ applied
] ton q De Burg on IA acres OF corn, hand
! full TO three hills. The corn came up well. and
| grew OH very fine until the last of June, when
the drought set in and injured the crop very
much, owing to its advanced state, vet be-
lieye the crop of corn is much better than it
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 ILL.,"
