circumstances the Guano would have paid WE'LL
It. was used at the rate of $50 lbs to the acre-the
land was poor. I also tried your Guano on corn
this spring (the last time this land was in corn it
was hardly worth gathering)-I used the Guano
in three ways: first ploughed in about 800 lbs. to
the acre; next, put half small handful in each
hill; next, mixed the Guano with three times it's
bulk of marsh mud, and applied handful to the
hill One of these methods is as good as the other,
SO far as see. Without one of them don't think
will be, till my land gets rich. The corn where
this was applied has fine color and is eighteen
inches or two feet higher than where the manure
was put. Respectfully,

of the wheat upon which it was used till the 23d
of October, while that upon which Resse's was
used was put in before the 18th. Notwithsland.
ing this disadvantage, The American Guano made
its mark. and the wheat that escaped the fly and
frost had better head and finer grain than that
produced by the Manipulated, and believe, had it
been put in early the 18th of October, the
yield would have been greater.
do not, however, consider the grain producing
qualities of the American Guano its greatest re-
commentator. In its adaptation to grass lies its
highest value the clover on The land upon which
it was used, is far superior to any portion of the
field, standing the drought much better and grow
ing more kindly.

The small patrimoBy left by my father had
