ATTENTION FARMERS (!
Guano excclled by DE BURG

L is settled point with all Chemists and
Il scientific Farmers, that Peruvian or any
other description of guano does not supply to
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 its continued application.
| Many experiments have been made recently,
relative to its value as compared with the best
Peruvian Guano, and preference given to it
as manure being quite as effective in its
action Of inducing carly maturity as guano,
| but much more durable and fortifying to the
soil, and less volatile
| 10 the Tobacco Planters, it will be found
| very beneficial. Tobacco contains n large
| amount Of mineral matter, which is being con-
! unually removed by the plant in solution, and
1t is but reasonable TO suppose that the soil
must soon become exhausted Of minerals il
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-
ducng 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
carly maturity. 1t should be used at the rate
of to cwt. to the acre-should be broadcast
or applied in the hill, where from its chemical
composition and deliqucscent nature, il attracts
| considerable moisture and the plants will be
less liable TO suffer from drought
DIR. DAVID STEWART, Professor Of chem
istry at st. Johns College, Annapolis, Nd.
and Chemist to the Maryland State Agricultu-
raj Society-analyzes every lot of De Burg we
receive, and says, in his report TO us:
"Dc Burg compound is much more general
| ly valuable to the practical farmer than any
mixture Of phosphates and ammonia or manip-
ulated guano. There are other elements in Dc
Burg to which attach as much importance a:
ammonia and phOsphates, and ! cannot pass a
cargo where one Of these is absent, however
much ammonia and phosphates arc present"
Again he says =" Peruvian Guano, Hickory
Ashes, and Super-phosphate Of Lime, separate
| ~ applied to land eXhausts it, las a general
rule) upon the principles established by Laws
and Pusey in series of Z 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 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., Nd, says 81 applied Dc Burg to
my corn in the hill, and made 6 barrels per
| acre. put in q small portion Of same quality
| Of land in corn, without De Burg, and am sa-
! tisied there was not II 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 il 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 3 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 pei
acre. look upon De Burg as powerful fer.
/ tilizcr fully equal TO No. ! Peruvian Guano
and much moro durable"
BENZ. WHITE, Esq, Poolesville, Montgo
merry CO., Nd. Jan. s, 1857, says 81 applied
ton Of De Burg on IA acres Of coEn, hand
full to three hills. The corn came up well, anC
grew off very fine until the last of June, wher
the drought set in, and injured the crop very
/ much, owing TO its advanced state, yet | be
lieye the crop of corn is much better than i
would have been had there been no Dc Burr
applied. believe De Burg is equally as gooC
as No. Peruvian Guano on corn applied il
the hill
