Incur communities tion .3of last year on. this
subject, we ex tied the composition of thit
Guano in comparison with that; Peruvian
Guanos We showed that the difference between

Weshowed by rational Inference and deduction
from acknowledged facts, developed the use o1
Peruvian Guano,. that the relative proportion 10
which the same elements exiat: in this Guand
renders it a. better fertilizer for the culture OF
cotton and corn than Peruvian Guano. I ~
In confirmation of onr deductions we published
the testimony Of large number of planters from
Georgia. Moth and South Carolina and Virginia,
giving the results of their experience in the crops
Of 1885, -
We are now prepared to add the results of an
other year,s experience In further confirmation Of
thn truth Of our conclusions ldeduced last year.
Although the past season was most nnusual one,
by reiison,Yf thb heavy and continuous rains that
prevailed throughout large districts Of the cot
ton-gIowing regions which rendered it peel-
liarly adverse to the avourable action. Of the
guano, yet in cases where from this cause 1ts
action was not entirely suspended either By the
excessive accumulation of moisture in the SOIL so
as to prevent the development of roots, ori where
the soluble portions Of the Guano were washed to
depth beyond the reach of the roots, its results
have fully sustained the high reputation for ex-
celence previously acquired.
By reference to correspondence in another
column it will be seen that where used in COM
parison with Peruvian Guano it has in, many
cases produced better results and had the season
been attendedsWith drought, as is frequently the
case, The difference would have proved still more
marked and frequent.
In q letter from VIM. II. Young, Esq, i Of Co.

"On two acres staked side by side 1 have to date

weed nearly twice as large as the Peruvian, and
has boiled in proportion" He used the twosin
