There is a sharp rivalry just now
in Alabama among different guano
dealers. One OF them, by the way
OF showing the superiority of his
guano over any other, says that a
farmer recently put sample of it
into his pocket, IN which there hap
pened to be a carpet tack, and started
home on horseback. Before reach
ing his house his steed broke down,
and the farmer was at loss to dis
cover the cause, until he found that
the carpet tack had grown to be a
long bar of railway iron.
