The account with wheat will stand thus:
No. l. Peruvian guano-Ex pense ofcul-
tlvation, So 25; guano, 3 05 lbs, at 3
CTS. per lb., 50 Is $l7 40
Proceeds 1899 lbs of wheat, which is 20
bu. and 39 lbs This at S 25 per bu.
(Which could have been had the day it
was threshed) would amount to 25 78

Gain, 447
1t may be proper here TO make a few remarks
relative to the last named acres, Nos. 2 and B.
Ii may be observed that No. 2 had 300 lbs. of
guano, and made IL bu. and 81 lbs. of wheat,
while No. 3 made only IL bu aud % lbs, hav-
ing 400 lbs of guano all the same qualny.-
There is to my mind but one plausible conclu-
sion to come to, and that is, that No. 3 was, by
the increased quantity Of guano, stimulated in
advance OF both Nos. l and ?, which may have
brought the blossom out unfavorable state
OF the weather, and the crop may have been
injured either by frost or wet. 1t certainly bld
fair before harvest to make five bushels more
than No. 2, aud | expected at least as much as
from No.

1t may be proper here to remark that No. 8

was raised on last year, and that this 300 lbs
of American guano was the hrsl aud only dress
ing, while the others have each had the value
of 81 % cts. applIed them tor co'n, winch

Now, III order to ascertain whether the pro-
/ fits IN improving WORKOUT land with cOncenIra-
! ted fertilizers are real or Imaginary, II Will be
necessary to take The corps through series OF
wears, say at least two crops o corn, and two
! of wheat, allowing the land one year rest IN
the time SO as 10 get "a coat OF clover, and at
the end of the term estimated the zeal (not
specuatlvr) improvement IN the land With
this view we will now SUN up the expenses OF
the two crops now gathered and the proceeds
of each:
