"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 originator of this article by the Of

XNE have accepted the Agency for the sale of
w sKettlewell's Manipulated Guano" at this place,
and respectfully call the attention of planting
muny this popular and celebrated Fertilizer From
testimony received at home and from abroad do not
hesitate recommend it the most reliable and eco
nomical manure offered to the public for wheat,
corn cotton, oats, vegetables and grasses. 1t will
commend itself for the following reasons: f.'
1st Because it is imported Guano, intimately COM
bined, 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
of land it surpasses all other Fertilizers, not ex-
cepting Peruvian Guano.
4th. Its low price.
Peruvian Guano contains l6 per cent of Ammonia
and only IS per cent of Phosphate of Lime. BY
reducing the costly Ammonia one-half and doubling
the Phosphate of Lime, far more valuable Fertilizer
must be produced. 1t has been demonstrated that 8
per cent 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 sew
eral years all crops, renovatng the old and worn
out lands of those States Our sister State, South Ca
rona, is large patron. Cotton planters give 1t the
decided preference where it has been tried.

Strong who is of our best known citizens and
Planters
Mr. John Kettlcwel, 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 cowhouse manure all OF which ap-
piled cotton and will that prefer Kettlewels
manipulated Guano to all of the above named used
the Manipulated in the field with the Peruvian
and in the same quantities. about 125 lbs to the
and can see no difference in the yield in the quail
tv of the In the same proportions believe the
Manipulated Guano will make great yield on cot
ton, and the quality will be equally good the
Peruvian Guano; and it has decidedly The advantage
in 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 pay in this climate the drought of the sum
here make crops too uncertain to use costly
manures. Respectfully, yours,
