sMy Manipulated Guano having become the accepted
and successful rival of Peruvian Guano, trust shall
be pardoned for putting upon public record what is so
universally known in Baltimore, that am solely and
exclusively the originator of this article by the of

IK7E have accepted the Agency for the sale of
w 'Kettlewelrs Manipulated Guano' at this place,
and respectfully call the attention of planting
munity to this popular and celebrated Fertilizer From
testimony received at home and from abroad do not
hesitate recommend it as the most reliable and eco
nomical manure now 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
bned meet the wants of crop and SOIL and not
a manufactured article.
I'd. Its fine and dry condition, making 1t ready for
immediate application without sewing and grinding.
Sd. In production of crop and permanent improve
of land it SURPRISES all other Fertilizers not
ccptng Peruvian GuanO
4h It's low price.
Peruvian Guano contains l6 per cent of Ammonia
and only 25 to 80 per cent of Phosphate of Lime. BY
reducing the costly Ammonia one-half, and doubling
the Phosphate of Lime far more valuable Fertilizer
mustbe produced. 1t has been demonstrated that
per cent of Ammonia is enough for all orops-more is
injurious besides expensive. Indeed, many prefer the
No 2 Manipulated Guano, because it contains larger
per centage of Phosphate of Lime. In Maryland and
Virginia this article has been in extensively for
eral years all crops rcnovatng the old and worn
lands of those States. Our sister State, South Ca
rona, is large patron. Cotton planters give it 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 in mode of application, and be applied broad
cast in hill drill, in quantity precisely Peruvian
Guano say from 100 300 lbs per acre. with the ben
eft of improvement to lands the literally it is
applied.

CHARLOTTE, n. c., Oct. 81, 1853.
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 house manure all of which APP
piled cotton; and will say that prefer Kettlewells
manipulated GuanO to all of the above named | used
the Manipulated in the field with the Peruvian,
and in the quantities. about l25 lbs to the acre.
and difference in the yield in the quail
of the cotton In the proportions believe the
Manipulated Guano will make great yield cot
ton, and the quality will be equally good, the
uano and it has decidedly the advantage
price and also in the facility of applying to land
Guano believe the Peruvian Guano is too high to
make it pay in this climate the drought of the sum-
mers here make crops too uncertain to costly
Respectfully, yours,
