EUVNDA WOANV.-Ine hEOONDA
h GUANO is now entering upon its third year.
As valuable, CHEAP, NATURAL GUANO,
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 taco columns of
newspaper with certificates of it's success but the
confidence Of the people has been so frequently
abused by quacks and empires that certificates
of success from the most reliable and honest are
generally more the evidence of charlatanry than
an appeal to the universally received axioms or
doctrines of all established science But the fol-
lowing recent letters, from parties of well-known
responsibility, must convince the intelligent farm
Grand sufficiently attests its efficacy, value and
economy fertilizer.

[ mixed one quarter of ton of Peruvian Gu
ano with one ton of Redonda Guano and used
about 200 pounds of the mixture per acre on oats,
and, notwithstanding the excessive drought, pro-
duced 25 to 30 bushels per acre. The corn upon
which it was applied at the same rate looks stout
vigorous and promising. I have never before
been able to raise the watermelon successfully
with any manure. propose using it on wheat

L had six acres of corn last year planted in
ground without manure. The season was very
wet and was unable to get corn in till the 10th
of June. When it came up it was thin and yell
low, and on the 9th of July it looked so sickly
that would not even cut it for fodder was
persuaded to try the Redonda Guano and ap-
piled an even handful to the hill, hoed it in and
raised the finest crop of corn ever had. I am
