ATTENTION FARMERS (!
GuanO cxcellcd by DE BURG

1T is n 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 az compared with the best
Peruvian Guano, and preference given to it
as manure, being quite as effective In Its
action of inducing early maturity as guano,
but much more durable and fortifying to the
soil, and less volatile.
To the Tobacco Planters, it will be found
very beneficial Tobacco contains n 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 arc returned as n manure the supply Of
such deficiency may be found in the applca-
ton Of De Burg it being the means of pro-
ducing great rapdity 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 TO 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.
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:
"De Burg's compound is much more general
| y valuable to the practical farmer than any
mixture of phosphates and ammonia or manip-
ulated guano. There are other elements in De
| Burg to which I attach as much importance as
ammonia and phosphates, and cannot pass a
cargo where one Of these is absent however
much ammonia and phosphates are present"
Again he says -" Peruvian Guano, Hickory
Ashes and Super-phosphate of Lime, separate
ly applied to land exhausts 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, 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., Md, says: 81 applied De Burg t.
nv corn in the hill, and made 6 barrels pei
acre. put in o small portion Of same quait,
Of land in corn, without De Burg and am sa
tisfed there was not I barrels per acre on it
did not use Peruvian Guano last season, bu
am satisfied, from previous use Of it, that d.
Burg is far superior TO il in a dry season."
CHARLES A. WORTHINGTON, Unity
Montgomery CO., Md, says: 81 applied d.
Burg in the hill to my corn on poor knobs, il
various parts Of the field, and raised to i
barrels per acre, while upon the best portion o
| the field where there was no De Burg | onll
raised barrels per acre. | also drilled il
some with Potatoes say eighth Of an acre, an,
! raised 229 bushels from it, $50 bushels pc
acre. look upon De Burg as powerful fer
tilizer, fully equal to No. Peruvian Guano
and much more durablc.'
BENZ. WHITE, Esq, Poolesville, Montgo
merry CO., Md, Jan. 8, 1857, says: 81 applied
ton Of De Burg on Ia acres OF corn, n hand
full to three hills The corn came up we'll, AM
grew off very fine until the last of June, whel
the drought set in, and injured the crop yer,
; much owing TO its advanced state yet be
Iieye the crop Of corn is much better than i
would have been had there been no De Burr
applied ! believe DE Burg is equally as goo,
as No. Peruvian Guano on corn applied il
the hill"
