acre on each: (stiff clay land.) The oats will
double, l think, while the corn 1 never saw any
thing to- equal it. I planted about 10th May,

In relation to your Guano, 1 take pleasure in

produced 70 to 30 bushels per acre. The corn

ID EDONDA GUANO.-The REDONDA
IL GUANO is now entering upon its third year.
| As d valuable, CHEAP, NATURALGUANO,
| it has found no rival. When combined with
about 800 lbs. of Peruvian Guano to one ton Of
Rodonda, it has equaed the best fertilizers in the
| market, costing nearly double the price of the
Redonda. We could readily fill taoo columns o.
newspaper with certificates of its success but the
confidence of the people has been so frequently
| abused by quacks and empires that certificate!
OF success from the most reliable and honest are
generally more the evidence of charlatanry than
| an appeal to the universally received axioms OF
doctrines of all established science. But the fol
lowing recent letters, from parties of weil-knowr
respecta bity, must convince the intelligent farm
and sufficiently attests its efficacy, value and
ECONOMY as fertilizer. -et ~
