other dissertation of onano docs moi snnrly 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 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 a preference given to ii
as manure, being quite Gs effective in It's
action Of inducing early maturity as guano,
but much more durable and foltifying to the
soil, and less volatile.
To the Tobacco Planters, it viii be 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 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 ravagcs of the fly, and inducing
carly maturity. 1t should be used at the rate

DR.. DAVID STEWART, Professor of chem
istry at St. Johns College, ANNAPOLIS, Md
and Chemist to the Maryland State Agrcutu-
raj Society-analyzes every lot OF De Burg we
receive, and says, in his report to US.
"De Burg compound is much more general
ly. valuable to the practical farmer than any
mixture OF phosphates ana ammonia or manip-
lllated guano;; There arc other elements in De
Burg TO winch attach as much importance as
ammonia ana phosphates, and J cannot pass n
cargo where one of these is absent, however
much ammonia and phosphates are present
Again he says =" Peruvian Guano, Hickory
Ashes ana Super-phosphate OF Lime separate

and Pussy, in a series Of years experiments.
