has seen used by his neighbors."
W. e. SPARKS, RatCnton, Ga, reports:
"On Land about half covered with eedge, and
which had not been cultivated in two years, when
the manure was put on, badly manured crop would
yield two pounds where the unmanured would Yell
one."
B. B. HAMILTON, Americus, &C., reports:
