NOTICE..
To Consumers of Soluble Pacific Guano.

The high character attained by this Guano
for superior excellence has, it appears, insti-
gated the appropriation of the same name to
articles of little or no real value, which, we
are credibly informed, are freely offered in
New York and other markets with assurances
Of genuineness. Hence it becomes necessary,
both for the protection of consumers and the
Pacific Guano Co., to call attention to the fact,
in order that proper caution may be observed.
The only guarantee the purchaser can have
is that afforded by the name of the Company's
general agents stencilled on the packages, and
buyers are advised that unless the name OF
JNo. S. REESE & Co., GENL. AGENTS, BALTI-
MORE, is found stencilled on the bags, the
Guano is fictitious, and not genuine.

TO THE
Consumers of CommerciaI Fertilizers.
S oLU B LIE
p A CIFIC GU IN O ,
Improved in Condition and Quality.

This Guano was introduced to the Farmers
and Planters of the Middle and Southern
States in 1865. At the time of its introduce
ton, and repeatedly since, we have given
detailed expositions of its composition. We
have endeavored to show from It's composition,
and from we'll known facts and principles that
it must in the nature of things, prove Fer
tilizer of the highest excellence. We have
shown that the effects of Fertilizer, like the
effects of all operative causes, take place under
with a knowledge of the substances which
coratitute the elements Of fertility, and their
just, relative proportions, we may calculate
with reasonable certainty upon given results
from their application. We have shown that
results are liable to variation from contra
vening causes, such as excessive drought or ex
cessive moisture, which modify effects. We
have shown that it was not matter of doubt or
uncertainty as to what substances constitute
the active elements Of fertility. 8 We have
shown, too, that by an intelligent use of avail
able means we can know with certainty
whether the Fertilizer we put upon the
market contains these elements in their due
relative proportions
We knew that the Pacific Guano Company
possessed all the material resources necessary to
the production of a Fertilizer containing all
the elements of fertility in the best possible
forms. We knew it was the Company's best
interest to bring into market the most effective
Fertilizer that could be produced from all the
resources afforded by nature science, art and
experience. We knew the Company had called
to it's constant service the aid of the best
scientific ability the country afforded. With
knowledge of these facts, and with faith in
known laws and principles, we introduced
this Guano, and commended its use with con-
seriousness that its results would not disappoint
our expectations.
Five years experience in its use, on all
crops, under all the conditions arising from
variations of season in all the Southern and
Middle States, has amply confirmed all our
deductions. (See Correspondence.)
We think we may assert with safety that no
Shenandoah herald. [volume] (Woodstock, Va.) 1865-1974, 1870-09-01

commercial Fertilizer has been introduced in
this country which has given more general and
uniform satisfaction in it's results, through a
period of years, than this GsAoao.
Since its introduction the trade in it has
steadily increased, until the consumption now
throughout the country far exceeds that of any
other Fertilizer Had it not possessed the
highest excellence, its name, instead of be-
coming the subject Of piracy By ssnscrspulous
Dealers would have been forgotten.
The fact that we have frequently been I'M
able to supply the demand in season, notwith-
standing an enlargement of facilities every
year, affords the most certain evidence Of con-
tinued excellence.
Many Fertilizers have been introduced,
which, for a time, have proved more or less
valuable, and then become worthless This
fact naturally gives rise to apprehension and
distrust lest the same may occur with others.
In answer to such apprehensions, if they
exist concerning this Guano, we venture to
suggest two or three considerations, to which
we ask attention. 1t is a reasonable pre-
sumption that the Pacific Guano Company
knows its best interests, and it is manifest
upon the least reflection, that the interests Of
the Company can only be realized in the per-
naanence of its trade. 1t is certain that no
number of consumers of Guano can have as
great an interest in the continued excellence of
Soluble Pacific Guamo as the Company has.
We ask attention, IN this connection, to the
article IN another column headed Pacific
Guano Company, its products, claims to public
confidence, de-" perusal of which, we think,
will afford assurance of its stability, &c.
Regarding ourselves, we may say, we have
pursued this business exclusively for fifteen
years, and we venture to refer to the past as
afording some assurance for the future
Hence we think we may say there can exist
no reasonable ground for apprehension as to
the continued excellence of Soluble Pacific
Guano. On the contrary, we can give the
assurance, that while nature continues to fur
nish supplies of crude material, and while
science and art continue to make new develop
ments, every resource will be made available
to Improve, rather than depreciate this Guano
both as to condition and quality.

provement and the addition of the element of
Potash, we may confidently assure the public
that Soluble Pacific Guano now comes into
market materially improved.

SALTS OF POTASH

1t is we'll known fact that Potash consti-
tutes an important element of fertility. This
article has heretofore been so costly as to pre-
clude it's use as constituent of concentrated
Fertilizers, but recent discoveries of natural
deposits of Potash in the Kingdom of Prussia
have reduced its cost to figures which render
It's use available.
The Pacific Guano Company has made con-
tracts for large supplies Of this article, and all
Soluble Pacific G4anO now brought into market
contains this important element in due pro-
portion. Although the existing war between
France and Prussia may interrupt commercial
intercourse, supplies already received by the
Company are sufficient to meet its wants.
This additional element of value is made at
very considerable additional cost, but in pur-
suance of the policy to furnish the best article
at the lowest possible cost to consumers, there
will be no advance in the price of the Guano.

PREPARED FOR DRILLING.

The large amount Of organic animal matter
which enters into the composition of Soluble
Pacific Guano, has rendered it a matter of the
greatest difficulty to bring it into market suf6-

penditure of capital this difficulty has been
overcome, so that we are now prepared to put
the Guano into market in condition to drill
with regularity.

The vcxed question Of locating the

were balanced Is shown by the
fact that upon the. direct motion
yesterday forenoon TO reject tie
bill, the House voted not to reject II
but pass it on to u second reading, BY q
majority of two votes. The vote on the
motion to read the bill, in the afternoon,
when first cast was the same; but Mr..

this change defeated the motion, for lack
