actually Of greater pasue than Peruvian Guano at
cost of neary one third less per toa. The claims OF
the Company to full public confidence are such as
afford the best guarantee of the permanent rellabity

APPLICATION PER ACRE.
The quantity of fertilizers applied per acre in this
country is by far too small apply Is to $50 and
200 lbs but few as much as 800 lbs. The high cost
of Peruvian Guano and its excess of 1nnaonaG pre-
cludes its liberal use; 800 lbs of Pacific Guano can
be applied at little greater cost than 200 lbs OF
Peruvian, and it is certain the more liberal appIca-
ton is the best paying investment. The policy noo
is to make every acre cultivated yield its maximum
product snd this can only be done by oeraI use OF
required TO compensate for an additional 100 lbs OF
the Guano; while that additional application would
prove Of the highest advantage, both IN increased
prodact, and improvement of the soil Z =" j.

plat picked out, weighed and eontrasted Last year
the Soluble Pacific Guano paid 400 per- cent on the
investment the present year, $40 per cent. The

bic Pacific Guano produced the second year 1873 per
cent. on the investment after allowing interest at
10per cent. for two years The two years combined,
made COL per cent while Peruvian Guano made only
475 per cent The first year $685. the second year 120
per cent. The two guanes combined, made the first
year 432 per cent the second year. from the residuum

Dear Sir: --..... s..:. 3. .
We have used during the past season, Peruvian
Gusno and Soluble Pacific Guano and the results
prove that far as our practical experience goes
the Soluble Pacific Guano has given better yields and
is more generally to be depended upon as Fertil-
izer. In fact, we unhesitatingly recommend it as
possessing qualities especially adapted to the soils in
this locality, and We intend to continue using it.

There may be many poor girls, whose hearts

whom such vocation might suit some who
long to give themselves up entirely to the
service of God and of the poor, but have not
strength, perhaps, to become Lay Sisters in

Order. Would it not be to- them q blessed

themselves for II while by VOWS (the Little

necessarily follow that in all cases the care of

be adopted by these little communities. To

God, and the salvation of souls-and to keep

describing Mary Fitzgarads zeal for souls,

to beg something to eat, and for concealment
while he reposed little But he found the in
mates of the cottage in the greatest distress.
Four little children sat trembling in Il corner,
their mother was weeping and tearing her
hair, and the father walking the floor in agony.

and the father replied that they that

The generous young man insisted, and de-
