Guano e1celledby DE BURG

IS settled point with all Chemists and
a scientific Farmers, that Peruvian or any
DINER description OF guan0 does not supply TO
tue soil onc-hird 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
mas mad any experience in the use of cuano,
KNOWS that the land becomes exhausted and
Impoverished by It's continued application
Many experiments have been made recently.
relative 10 its value ms compared with the best
/ PERUVIAN Guano, and.a preference given 10 it
as manure, being quite as effective in its
action of inducing early maturity rs clano
but much more durable and terrifying to the
soil, and less volatile.
TO the Tobacco Planters il will be found
very beneficial. Tobacco contains LARGO
amount Of mineral matter which is being con-
tinually removed by Ike 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 sup,,ly az
such deficiency may be found in the appiica-
ton of De Burg, it being the means Of FRO
ducing great rapidly OF growth during the
| first stages of the plant, carving il out Of the
reach Of the ravages of the fly, and inducing
carly maturity. II should Ee used al the rate

or applied in The hill, where from lis chemical

less liable to suffer from drought.

rule) upon the principles established by Laws
and Pusey, in n series Of years experiments.
i 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 connca sense, or
empirical mode, TO any special manure. In
| other words a compound like De Burg's, is
more valuable than any ono Of its elements
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-
ible supply Of all the rest"
WIN. BRADD0CK, Esq, Rockville Mont

my corn in the Hill, and made barrels per
acre put in a small portion Of same quality
Of land in corn, without De Burg. and am sa-
tisfied there was not / 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 dry season."
