AS before stated, the land was very poor,
as will be inferred by the yield Of the un-
manured row. pounds. As the rows
were three feet three inches apart, there
would be sixty-four rows to the acre. Now
as Whann's Raw Bone stands ahead in this
experiment, let us make a calculation as to
whether or not 1t would pay, and If it
would pay, how much?
One row manured with Whann's Raw
Bone gave yield of 12a pounds. This
multiplied by "a (the number OF rows to
the aero, at the distance takeD) gives BIG
pounds per acre. The row without guano
made 2. pounds which, multiplied as be-
fore by 81, gives IA pounds per acre.
Deducting IA from SIG leaves 672 pounds
as the net gain by the use of Whann's Raw
| Bone. This 672 pounds of seed cotton
will make at least 200 pounds of lint, which
at Is cents per pound, will give thirty (30)
dollars. This sum is the gain per acre OF
an acre manured with Whann's Raw Bone,
over and above that which an unmanured
acre would yield. But we must pay for
the guano out Of this $50: The cost of
this, Gncluding hauling, &c., was $l2 80;
dcducting this sum from $50 leaves SIT 20
| as the clear protit-the return for the use
But it must be borne in mind that we
had 672 pounds of seed cotton after deduct
| ing the amount made upon the unmanured
acre, and in reducing it to lint we threw
off 472 pounds for the weight of seed.
| This will give us at least 188 bushels of
cotton seed, which at 90 cents per bushel
will give us the further sum of So 70 cents.
Adding this to the above sum of SIT 20
gives $40 90 as the whole gained per acre

the number of acres to the row.
