ATTENTTGN FARMHRS {!
Guano cxcclIcd BY DE EsgJRG

1T Is settled point with all Chemists and
4 scientific Farmers, that Peruvian or any
other description OF guano docs not supply 10
the soil one-third Of the necessary constituents
for the growth Of all crops ON all soils; and
the anal ysis of wheat, rye, corn, oats, potatoes,
tobacco, etc, prove The fact Every one who
has had any experience in the use of gnano,
knows that the land becomes exhausted and
Impoverished by its continued application.
Many experiments have been made recently,
relative TO It's value rs compared with the best
Peruvian Guano, and preference given to it
as II manure being quite MS effective in It's
action Of inducing carly maturity MS gnano,
but much more durable and certifying TO the
soil, and less volatile
TO the Tobacco Planters, II will be found
very beneficial. Tobacco contains large
amount OF mineral matter, which is being con-
tinually removed by the plant in solution, and
1t Is but reasonable TO suppose that the soil
must soon become exhausted Of minerals II
none are returned as n manure; the supply OF
such deficiency may be found in the applica-
ton Of De Burg, it being the means Of pro-
ducing great rapidly Of growth during the
first stages OF the plant, carrying il ont Of the
reach Of the ravuges of the fly, aud inducing
early maturity. II should be used ut the rate
Of to 3 cwt. TO theacre--should be broadcast
or applied in the hill, where from its chemical
composition and dcliqucscent nature, it attracts
considerable moisture, and the plants will be
less liable 10 suffer from drought

grew off very fine until the last Of June, when
the drought SET in, and injured the crop very
much, owing to lis advanced state, yet be-
lieyc the crop Of corn is much better than il
would have been had there been no DC Burg
applied, believe De Burg Is equally as good
as No. ! Peruvian GuanO on corn applied in
