GUANO PREPARED FOR USE
CoSiPAREp WITH
Guano as Found on Islands.

In tho wise economy Of Providence, there has been
aggregated on various islands Of the Pacific and
Atvic Wi. ~, Oceans large natural deposits of Guano.
Wlth the exception of the Peruvian Islands these
deposits are all Of the gcne,ai character as to
composition but differ mat terially in richness phyal
structure and condition. They may be classified as
ssa'tAy, pef"yied and mineral 1t is doubtful if the
'atter classes are properly called Guano.
Tho value of these deposits consists solely, as is
which always necessarily trsts in tho form of the in
sou6o neutral phosphate Of limo, or in some other H.
WIuoo combination. II couM not IN the nature of
Mtngs, era| IN tho Quana as found on the tA,nds, In
a1Iubo t0ra,s
Hence, il is true that Guano, as imported from
hS islands, can contain s9'ubo Pso$nlatcs.
. Now, il is knoon fact that there is no comparison
ES sS to value between soule and insol1e phosplnes
" The former is in condition for immediate appropria
tion oy the plant, and its effects in tho promotion Of
vegetable growth and DEVELOPMENT are marked onI
wonderful; while the latter is comparatively mart
ana inacttrd, except when in combination with proDer
Proportions 9 ts,mcntuJle animal matter, in which con
ditlon 1t ytc|Ns TO gradual solution.
1t must be noted here, that these Phosphate
auanos 90 not contain animal matter as imported
from the islands.
1t Is the province of science and skill to convert
Mcse insoublo phosphatcs into SOLUBLE forms by
which these vnst resources afforded by Nature arc
rendered available for tho highest utility
aencc as soluhe phosphoric acid has higher agr7-
ca|ue than the isolude acid MS it exists in c
natural deposits, 1t must be true that no Guao as it is
imported, can possess value equal to Guano Which
has been rendered soluble by tho appliances developed
by science.
A LAW OF NATURE.
The above deductions appear to be in harmony
with what may be recognized as a law of Nature II
whlobo found upon reflection, that large class of
the most useful material gifts of Providence TO man
kind are supplied in crude forms. TO ft them for
tho uses designed, an equivalent is demanded In the
exercise of that intelligence and Skill which is thc
T,eeuft@r gJt to man by the same bcnc6cen Proui
dence. '
Gold, Copper, Zead, limo, Iron, Gutta Perc1a Ps,ro
teum and q long list of similar natural products
which arc adapted to innumeraDle uses for the con-
yenicnce and necessities Of mankind are all furnished
1y tho hand Of Mature in Crude torn,s, in which con
dtl0n TO they are Of no practtcal utility
The natural deposits Of Guano form no execution
to this general law. 1t is found to exist in crud.
insoluhe term, and must be fitted for the importani
uses for which was provided by undergoing prcpa
ration dictated by science.

The Radicals Of Washington city are
lovely lot. When they have the
power they enact sll manner of villsiny,
fearing neither COP, man, the devil nor
his hsbitation. But when they meet an
adversary too willy or too stout for them
to overthrow they are ready to seek aid
wherever they can get it, even from the
divine authority which they daily defy.
On last Wednesday night the Fourth
Ward Radicals of Washington held q
mass meeting and solemnly resolved to
invoke the assistance of heaven in their
squabble with the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad. As follows:
Whereas we, the citizens and ta1pay-
ers OF the fourth ward, do most heartily
endorse Hon. Sayles j. Bowen, mayor Of
Washington, for his bold and fearless
act IN covering up the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad, which is epdeavoring to
monopollze the interests of the citizens
and taxpayers of the District of Colum.

being thanksgiving, We hope all good
citizens will pray to God for the over
throw of the Baltimore and Ohio rail
road in the coming law suit against said
incorporation.

progress of this controversy. If the
railroad should happen to gain the suit,
a decree for deposing the Almighty may
confidently be expected from loyal
sources, a-t

nabiltate the Individuals of the pro-

NOTES FROM THE COUNTRY

Manure piles that have been accumu-
lating since last Spring, should not be
left to be soaked by the Fall and Winter
rains and melting SHOWS. They should
be hauled out and at once spread upon
the ground which is to be planted in
corn ard POTATOES next Spring. Spread
ing Immediately is much better than to
leave the manure in small heaps on the
field. Don't be afraid of the substance
washing down too deep into the ground
to be reached by the roots Of crops. EI.
perience proves that this is not done.
THE RUs1 Of ychng cattle az we'll as
old cows to our butchers, just now, is
great. A large majority Of those which
come in are far from being fat, many of
them are not even In tue condition that
stock cattle should be to winter advsn.
tsgeously. All this is shameful-frst.
because sacb cattle make tough and an
pslstable beef, and, secondly, because
to kill such cattle is . miserable waste.
1t is waste in three particulars: q poor
beef will not weigh as many pounds as
it would if made fat; poor beef will not
bring as much per pound a. q fat
one; if these beeves were fed
until they became fsts the giut of the
market would be over and better prices
generally would obtain. Now is the
time for the careful and thrifty farmer
who ha. plenty of coarse feed to buy
young ca tile. They will grow heavier
for every poand of fodder fed to them,
and next Spring good beeves will be
scarce an prices high. =
SHkEP..-Iu some sections Of Ohio the
sheep-slIughter has again commenced.
Together with the low prices of wool
which s ill obtains and the prevalence
of . dis ease known as the foot-rot in
some Cocks, the disoouragement of
many wool, growers is so great that
theusa nds of sheep are put of at price
below that which their peits and tallow
would yield. Old and diseased sheep
bring about fifty cents each, while good
ewes and thrifty wethers go in lots at
81 so per head. This thing Of selling
1 ood sheep at poor price now is abont
as " ise as was the policy of paying a
big price for poor sheep afeu years ago
A wise man may commit enc mistake
but he seldom commits two with the
same article or animal.
