Guano excelledDy DE BURG


1T is . settled point with all Chemists and
a scientific Farmers, that Peruvian or any
other description Of guano docs not supply to
the soil one-tiird 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 a preference given to it
as manure, being quite as effective in its
action Of inducing early maturity as guano,
but much more durable and terrifying to the
soil, and less volatile.
TO the Tobacco Planters, il will be found
very beneficial. Tobacco contains large
amount Of mineral matter which is being con-
/ tinual.y removed by the plant in solution, and
/ it is but reasonable to suppose that the soil
must soon become exhausted Of minerals, il
none arc returned as manure the supply Of
such deficiency may be found in the applica-
ton Of De Burg, it being the means Of pro-
ducing great rapidity Of growth during the
first stages Of the plant, carrying il out Of the
reach Of the rayages Of the fly, and inducing
early maturity. 1t should be used at the rate
Of 2 10 3 cYt. to the acre-should be broadcast
or applied in the hill, where from It's chemical
composition and deliquescent nature, itattracts
considerable moisture, and the plants viii be
less liable to suffer from drought.
DR.. DAVID STEWART. Professor Of chem
isiry at st. john 5 College, Annapolis Md,
and Chemist to the Mary State Agrlcutu-
raj Society-anayzes every lot OF Dc Burg we
receive, and says, in his report to u.s.
De Burg compound Is 0'aeh more general
/ ly valuable to the practical farmer than any
mixture Of phosphates and ammonia or manip-
ulatcd guano. There are other elements IN DE
Burg to which attach as much Importance rs
ammonia and phosphates, and cannot pass
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, eShausts IT. gas general
rulel upon the principles established by Laws
ana Pusey, III series oil 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 lis 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-
ihlc supply Of all the rest"
