! TO AGRICULTURISTS- extensive ex-
ers in GUANO and FERTILIZERS of various
descriptions, and by direct intercourse with farm
ers aud planters, as GRAIN MERCHANTS, has en-
abled us to learn their experience and results
from all sorts of natural and artificial MA
NURES, and to form a practical knowledge of
their wants in Fertilizer adapted generally to
the various soils and crops of the Southern States
and at price commensurate with present values
and proper regard to economy in outlay.
We have been induced to establish manufac-
tory in this city upon an extensive scale, with the
appliance of steam and with every recent i'm
provenlent in machinery for grinding, mixing
and thoroughly combining the various chemical
constituents, now well ascertaned as forming the
elements OF frst-class fertilizer, and absolutely
required to build up the truly vegetable part of
the plant and restore to the soil the elements of
direct PLANT FOOD" which previous crops
may have drawn from it, and which can be re-
lied upon for uniformity, containing the valuable
properties claimed for it, and at a LESS PRICE
than any other similar manure offered IN this
market.

on my wheat and vegetable garden.
I planted corn with it last May, and from pres

1t gives me great pleasure to let you know that
my w neat, upon winch applied your fertilizer,
last fall, Is very fine. used it entirely on corn
stubble, and it is better than any ever had or
ever saw. 1t will, 7 am certain, yield over TWEEN
ty bushels per acre, I applied it on oats and
corn in the spring, using about 200 pounds per
acre on each. (stiff clay land) The oats will
double, think, while the corn never saw any
thing to equal it. 1 planted about 10th May,
using handful to two hills of corn, and after it
started it seemed incredible to see it grow 1t is

CENTRE Cross, Essex CO., Va, July 81, 1869.
In relation to your Guano, l take pleasure in
stating that regard it as valuable Fertilizer
L used about two hundred pounds per acre on
oats, which, Notwithstanding the excessive drou't
produced Is to 30 bushels per acre. The corn
upon which this fertilizer was applied at the same
rate looks stout, vigorous and promising, and the
''oldest inhabitant1 does not claim to have ever
seen more fourishing sweet potato and water
melon patch than I have this season, from the
use of handful Of this manure to the hill.
Truly yours, K. p. w. FAUNTLERoY.
