"My Manipulated Guano having become the accepted
and successful rival of Peruvian Guano trust shall
be pardoned for putting upon public record what is
universally known in Baltimore, that am solely and
exclusively the originator of this article by the OF
! machinery.'-A Farmer 1857.
EEJE have accepted the Agency for the sale of
w "kettlewelIs Manipulated Guano" at this place,
and respectfully call the attention of planting COM
munity this popular and celebrated Fertilizer. From
testimony received home and from abroad do not
hesitate recommend it the most reliable and
nomcal manure offered TO the public for wheat,
corn, cotton oats, vegetables and grasses. 1t will
commend itself for the following reasons:
LIST. Because it is imported Guano, intimately COM
bined meet the wants OF crop and SOIL and not
a manufactured article
I'd. Its fine and dry condition, making it ready for
Immediate application, without sewing and grinding.
Sd. In production of crop and permanent improve
ment of land it supasses all other Fertilizers not
cepting Peruvian GuanO.
4th. Its low price.
Peruvian Guano contains 16 per cent Of Ammonia
and only % per cent of Phosphate of Lime. BY
reducing the costly Ammonia onehalf, and doubling
the Phos phate of Lime, far valuable Fertilizer
must be produced. 1t has been demonstrated that 8
per of Ammonia is enough for all crops-more is
Injurious besides expensive. Indeed many prefer the
No Manipulated GuanO, because it contains larger
per centage of Phosphate of Lime. In Maryland and
Virginia this article has been in extensively for
era years all crops renOVating the old and worn
out lands those States. Our sister State South Ca
rolina, is large patron Cotton planters give 1t the
decided preference where it has been tried.
We beg that you will at least try this article if you
disposed to venture largely, and assist us in
distributing what believe public good. 1t is very
simple mode of application and be applied broad

Guano say from 100 to 800 lbs. per acre, with the ben

CHARLOTTE, y. c. Oct. 81 1858.
Mr. John Kettlewell Dear Sir: have tried several
kinds of fertilizers the past Spring, viz: Peruvian Gu
ano Manipulated Guano, prepared by YOURSELF Tafeu,
from the Lodi manufacturing company of New York
also. stable and cow house manure; all of which APP
piled to cotton; and will say that prefer Kettewels
manipulated Guano to all of the above named. used
the Manipulated in the field with the Peruvian,
and in the same quantities. about l23 lbs to the acre,
and difference i'll the yield in the quail
y of the cotton. In the proportions believe the
Manipulated GuanO will make great yield on cot
ton, and the quality will DC equally good, the
Peruvian Guano and it has decidedly the advantage
price and also in the facility of applying it to land.
So, at the price / would prefer the Manipulated
Guano. believe the Peruvian Guano is too high to
make it pay in this climate the drought of the
mers here make crops too uncertain to costly
