In regard to the guano my opinion is tina. il is az
ways most prottaby used upon land sown with email
grain, thoroughly mixing from 200 to 300 pounds per
acre with the suriaceso, by the plow harrow, and
always sowing grass or cloyerseed with the grain.
Turn this crop OF clover grass under to the
crop of corn If guano is to be applied to crop
direct, would pow it in. As am not old salt, I
