I 7 is settled point with all Chemists and

Tor the growth Of all crops on al soils and
the analysis Of wheat, rye, corn, oats. potatoes
tobacco, ETC., prove the fact Every one who
mas had any experience in the use of ruano
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 hest
Peruvian Guano, and a preference given n Il
as y manure, being quite as effective in its
acuon OF inducing early maturity as ruano
/ out much more durable and fortifyin1 IN tbo
soil, and less volatile. ''''
/ 10 the Tobacco Planters, it will be fund
very beneficial. Tobacco contains LARGO
amount Of mineral matter, which is being con-
hnually removed by the plant in solution. and
1t Is but reasonable to suppose that the soil
must soon become exhausted of minerals ;f
none are returned as a manure; the supply ~

composition and deliquescent nature, ii attracts
considerable moisture, and the plants will be
less liable to suffer from drought.

and Chemist to the Maryland State Apricultn,

receive, and says, in his report to us:
DE Burg's compound is much more general.
ly valuable to the practical farmer than onv
mixture Of phosphatcs and ammonia or mapip-
ulated guano. There are other elements in De
Burg to which attach as much importance 40
ammonia and phosphates, and cannot mass n
cargo where one Of these is absent. however
much ammonia and phosphatcs are PRESENT.

and Pussy, in series of I years experiments.
Ny experience in their use separately In con-
trast with their combined influence, gives me
an assurance in recommending compounds 10
all farmers, that prefer the cannon sense or
empirical mode, TO any special manure In
other words, compound like De Burr's, il
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 element only, and have an inexhaust-
ible supply Of all the rest"
WIN. BRADDOCK Esq, Rockville. Mont
gomery CO., Nd, says: ~ applied De Burg to
my corn in the Hill, and made 6 barrels Der
acre. put in a small portion of same quality
Of land in corn, without De Burg, and am sa-
tlshed there was not l. barrels per acre on IT,
did not use Peruvian Guano last season. but
am satisfied from previous use Of it. that De
Burg Is far superior to it in a dry season."

Burg in the hill TO my corn on moor 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, $50 bushels per
acre. look upon De Burg as a powerful fer
tilizer, fully equal to No. / Peruvian Guano
and much more durable"
BENZ. WHITE, Esq, PoolesvilIe. Monteo-
merry CO., Nd, Jan. g. 1857, SAYS: II applied
ton Of De Burg on "A acres OF corn, hand
ful 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. vet 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
the HILL"
