tobacco, ETC., prove the fact Every one who
has had any experience in the use of euano
knows that the land becomes exhausted and
Impoverished by its continued application
Many experiments have been made reccntI1-
relative TO its value as compared with the host
Peruvian Guano, and preference given IN il
as manure heing quite as effective in its
action of inducing early maturity as rnano
but much more durable and fortifyinc TO tho

To the Tobacco Planters, il will be foDpd
very beneficial. Tobacco contains lsrrs
amount Of mineral matter, which is bcinr cn7-
tinually removed by the plant in solution and
it is but reasonable to suppose that the soiI
must soon become exhausted of minerals if
none are returned as manure the snpnlv Of
such deficiency may be found in the aprIira-
ton of De Burg, it being the means of pro-
ducing great rapidly of growth during tho
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 ra 10

raj Society-analyzes every lot of De Burg we
receive, and says, in his report to us
de Burg compound is much more general
ly valuable to the practical farmer than any
mixture Of phosphates and ammonia or maniD-
ulated guano. There are other clements in De
Burg to which ] 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"

and Pussy, in series of years experiments.
My experience in their use separately, in con-
trast with their combined influence, gives mo
an assurance in recommending compounds to
all farmers that prefer the cannon sense, or
empirical mode, to any special manure In
other words, a compound like De Burp'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: 81 applied De Burg TO
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-
tisfed 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.

Montgomery CO.. Nd saws: 81 aDnlied De
Burg in the hill 10 my corn on poor knobs, in
various parts Of the field, and raised TO 10
barrels per acre, while upon the best portion OF
the field where there vas no De Burg only
raised barrels per acre. | also drilled in
some with Potatoes say eighth of an acre. and
raised 229 bushels from it, $50 bushels pcr
acre. look upon De Burg as a powerful fer
tilzer, fully equal TO No. / Peruvian Guauo
and much more durable"
BENZ. WHITE, Esq, Poolesville, Montro-

ful TO three hills. The corn came M well. and
grew off very fine until the last Of June v hen
the drought set in, and injured the crop verv
much owing to its advanced state vet be-
liove 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
as NO; J PERUVIAN Guano on corn applied in
