PERUVIAN GUANO EXCELLED
''DE BURG"

3 ~ a N1NA
SsDE BURG" is composed of chemically
~ prepared Peruvian Guano, Bones,
! Flesh, Blood, &c, and is prepared expressly
/ TO supply all soils, whether deficient or not,
with the constituents to produce all crops, and
at the same time improve them; no Guano or
edmixture Of Guanos can do this, as none con-
tain the requisites within themselves.
/ ANY one Of the seven elements Of De Burg
are as important to the practical farmer as
/ either Of the two which guano supplies as a
proof Of this. we subjoin the opinion Of Dr.
| DAVID STEWART, Chemist to Maryland
State Agricultural Society, who inspects every
lot we receive. before Offered for sale, and says
in his report to US
! DE Burg compound is much more general
ly valuable to the practical farmer than any
mixture Of pLOsphates and ammonia or manip-
ulated guano."
Again -" There are other elements 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"
We call your attention to the following Tes-
tmonials, received within the past month";
from well known gentlemen. nearly AL Of whom
speak Of the fertiizing and durable properties
Of De Burg in addition to It's value as a crop
grower:
JAMES w. BURDETT, Esq, Montgomery
Co., Nd, says, Jan. IS, 1858: ~ applied De
Burg to my corn, 1870 pounds per acre or
handful to hills; on an Old field, quite thin,
that would not have brought more than three
barrels per acre; by applying as | stated, ]
made TO barrels per acre. applied at the
same rate for oats, and they were very good :;
for tobacco, I like it very much, as it grows
off quick and natures it early. 1t does not
affect or burn the roots Of corn like guano'-
Ny wheat sown with De Burg looks equally as
wei, as that beside it, soNn with Peruvian
Guano."
RIB. SOPER, Esq, Montgomery Co., Nd,
says, Jan %, 1858 81 applied $50 pounds
Of De Burg per acre, on corn in the hill; this
| consider a very light dressing. The growth
of the corn ] think equal to what it would
have been from the same number Of pounds Of
Peruvian GUano and the caring and filling Of
the grain consider better; ! believe it is a
more permanent fertilizer than guano."
HENRY BUSSARD, ESQ, Mount Airy Car
roll Co. says: 81 have the most glowing ac-
counts from those who used the De Eurg' last
spring on corn, &c, Of its superiority over
Peruvian Guano and every other fertilizer.
used some and il beats anything ! ever used on
corn. My neighbors say De Burg islully equal
TO the best No ] Peruvian Guano for wheat
and decidedly better for any summer crop, as
it sustains the crop much better in drought
than guano.'
f. WAKEFIELD, Esq, Carroll County, Nd,
says, February 18th, 1858: :" have used Dc
Burg on oats and corn. and am disposed to
I give it the preference to Peruvian Guano."

Model Speech in the Missouri Legis-
lature,


We find the following in the reports of
the Missouri Legislature on the 9Th ult
1t will at once occur to the reader Of Mr..
Pitts speech, that he is, as his name
would imply, veritable descendant Of
Lord Chatham His chief resemblance
TO that distinguished orator is said to con-
sist in the possession of two legs, and u
head with nose on it. Read Mr.. p. s
speech:
Mr.. Pitt offered the following:
RcSolued, That the speaker be author
lied to cause to be printed and posted,
one hundred bills, announcing the 9Th
of January 1859.
Mr. Abney---I move to lay that reso-
luton on the table.
Mr.. Pitt-Mr. Speaker, this House
passed resolutions, sir, to celebrate in
an appropriate manner, the 9Th of Janu-
airy. This is resolution simply asking
that notice be given to the public of that
day. We have declared an intention,
and now, when we come to publish it,
some gentleman is suddenly seized with
the "retrenchnent gripes," and squirms
around like long red worm on pin
hook. Laughter. Gentlemen keep
continually talking about economy. |,
myself, do not believe in tying the pub
lie purse with cob-web strings, but when
retrenchment comes in contact with pa
triotism, it assumes the form of "small-
ness" Such economy is like that of Old
Skinfint, who had pair of boots made
for his little boy, without soles, that they
might last the longer. Laughter. |

ter Gentlemen, let us show our liber-
ality on patriotic occasions Why, some
men have no more patriotism than you
could stuff in the eye Of knitting nee

the eagle on it squeals like locomotive
or an old maid. Let us print the bills
and inform the country that we are as
full of patriotism as are Illinois swamps
IF tadpoles. Laughter | don't be-
lieve in doing things by halves. Per-
NIT me, Mr.. Speaker, to make a poetical
quotation from one of our noblost au-
thors:
J love TO see the grass among the red May roses,
/ love to see an old gray horse, for when he
goes, he goscs.
Convulsiyo laughter.
After the above speech, the House re-
fused to lay the resolution on the table.
