TOBACCO FERTILIZER.
The JAMES RIVER MANUFACTURING
COMPANY again offers 10 the planters and
farmers of Virginia and North Carolina its
we'll established MANIPULATED GUANO,
prepared from pure Peruvian and Phosphate
(Nevassa) Guano-the latter finely grou nd on
burr millstones-miXed in equal quantities !;
and assuming the former 10 contain from flf-
teen TO sixteen per cent. OF ammonia and the
latter from seventy 10 seventy-two per cent
of phosphate OF lime, we have, for the ma
nipulated article, about eight per cent. of the
first and thirty-six per cent. of the latter.
This Is known as our
REGULAR PREPARATION
of 1000 pounds Peruvian and 1000 pounds
Nevassa-price, $40 per ton OF 1000 pounds
and is recommended As 4 choice fertilizer in
the cultivation OF tobacco, furnishing all the
ammonia needful for this crop, and assisted
by a liberal supply of Bone Phosphate of
Lime TO impart weight and substance to the
plant, and 1T the same time protecting it from
the bad effects of Il too dry season, when the
excessive use OF Peruvian is always injurious
But, TO meet the views Of those who insist
upon Il larger proportion of Peruvian Guano
the formula is changed for another, combin-
ing two thirds of Peruvian twelve per cent
of ammonial with one-third OF Nevassa
twenty four per cent. of phosphate of lime)

SPECIAL PREPARATION

Nevassa. Price, $50 per ton of 1000 pounds
nearly to the pure Peruvian than any other
ever offered TO the public, and is the choice of
many successful tobacco planters, who vet
cling TO the largest proportion OF this unri-
vailed source of ammonia-the pure Peruvian
Guauo. For al the grain crops-corn, oats
rye, and wheat-it stands without rival and
challenges all competition.
Should Il mixture be preferred to contain
less ammonia and more of the phosphate of
lime-say one. third (667 pounds) of Peruvian
"a n dol Of
which, for some soils and under peculiar cir
stances, may be all that is required IL
it can be furnished ut the reduced price OF zoo

GROUND PERUVIAN GUANO.
This article, in which marked success has
been attained in finding means TO GRIND Peru
vian Guano in its driest state on millstones
and reducing ii TO the use of the drill with
out in the slightest degree impairiug its quail
ity, is kept always on hand, the price being
governed by that of the crude article, with a
small advance for loss in weight by handling
lthe purchaser getting his full 2 ,OGO poundsJ,
and the cost of the labor and machinery EN-.
ployed, but an actual saving TO the buyer,
who, by no process of his own, can so cheaply
or eifectually prepare 1t for use.
1t is only necessary 10 add that all the Pc
rnvian Guano used by this company is pro-
cured direct from the agent Of the Peruvian
Government in New York, the only importer
into the United States, and it is, therefore,
impossible for any one to offer better or
purer article.
Orders can be addressed through the COM
mission merchants OF the city, or directly 10
