FOR THE LAST TEN YEARS
State Agricultural Chemist


TEHIS combination Of Peruvian and the
Il Phosphate Guano was first recommended
by me more than SIR gears ago, and very sue
cessfully used by many planters and farmers in
this State, though several dealers in Baltimore
city have pretended to be its inventors II
this statement be denied, | have abundant
proof of its correctness.
A long experience as practical planter and
farmer, with a constant analytical examina-
ton for more than ten years, OF every kind OF
manure sold in our market, advantages pos
sessed by none others in the trade will ena-
bic me always TO furnish those, who may IA
vor me with their orders, with the BEST purest,
and therefore the cheapest Manures.
Farmers, planters and others will be furnish
ed with al the Guanos sold in our market.
Also, with PLASTER OF PARIS, and PURE
or MAGNESlAN LINE, according to the
wants Of the soil--and too much care cannot
be taken in adapting the proper lime to soils
for the want Of this, thousands of dollars have
been annually lost to our State. Also, the
following artificial Manures
HIGGINS SUPER
OF LINE, prepared under his own direction
and
HIGG NITRATED SALINE
FERTILIZER, an admirable top-drtssing for
wheat, oats or grass, which has been very sue
cessfully used, and prevents, to great extent,
the wheat from being straw-falen where the
wheat is pale, sickly or yellow, it at once
changes it to a bright, healthy green, and ra-
pidly increases its growth and greatly pro-
notes the yield.
All manures sold in our markets are liable
to differ naturally, though coming from the
same place and bearing the same mark Still
more are they liable to adalteration, &c. and
for these things or Inspection System his Hsrer
a9orded an ads9uate protection.
All Manures sold by me viii have my name
stamped on each bag or barrel, lie carefully
analysed, and for their purity the buyer is
pledged alsgal guarantee and my personal honor.
The Manures sold by me viii be at the same
rate as those sold by others in the trade

TNHE IMPROVEMENTS consist in part -
Il LIST, In an enlarged and convenient Qua
no Box.
"a The employment of Staples (instead of
scrapers, or the broad spuds formerly used to
clean the outlet holes, and stir the Guano more
thoroughly, and keep Il Loose.
Sd. An improvement in the relation Of the
outlet holes in the sheet-iron bottom and the
holes in the regulating slpe which diminishes
the liability to clog in the holes as the guano
leaves the bottom.
4th The lids of both the Grain and Guano
boxes are raised in the centre at point Of their
meeting, so as to throw the water or dampness
each way, preventing its getting into the boxes
9th. Extra care taken in fitting up the Grain
Distributor, to prevent any lost motion, and
thus insure more Stcady stream of grain
These improvements cover all objections ever
heretofore made to the Drill, and it is conf
IDENTIFY believed that in connection with its
heretofore universally admitted advantages
over all others, it must be the FAY0RITE

Cuarous FAos ABour THE SKxEs. .---It is n singu.
lar fact, says n writer in one Of our exchanges,
that even after death, nature respects che inhe-
rent modesty Of woman, for when drowned she
floats on her face. and drowned man on bis
back. The noblest part Of human being is the
head; but the mans head is liable to badness
woman is never bald. The mans face is often
made repulsive ON account of a harsh growing
beard, 80 covered with solid hairs, as something
scarcely to be distinguished from the face Of q
beast; in n woman, on the other hand. the face
always remains pureand decent For this rea-
con women were, by the laws Of the Twelve
Tables, to rub their cheeks lest hair should grow
and obscure their blushing modesty. But the most
evident proof Of the innate purity of the female
sex is. thata woman having once washed, isclean,
and II she wash in second water viii not soil it,

wash in ten successive waters, he viii cloud

Bricks that will float used to be made years
ago, but the art has been lost until recently. A
Monsieur Fabroni has, it is said discovered their
composition, which is said to be five parts Of 81
licious earth, fifteen of magnesia, fourteen Of
water, twelve Of Alumni, three Of lime, and one
of iron. They are infusible, and will float in
water, though one-twentieth part Of common
clay be added to them. They resist water, unite
perfectly with lime, and are subject tono change
from heat or cold. They are nearly as strong as
common brick, though only about one-sixth as
Lenvy, or considerably lighter than water
They are such poor conductors of heat that one
end may be heated red hot, while the other is
held in the hand. E. 4. e-.r
