doubt that Peruvian 0uauo has pcrSdsmed
a great work in the history Of agriculture.
aud that at times its use has proved of
great advantage; but in the long run.

the reason Of this action. The prsporsson

effects Of guano is to stimulate an eaoes--

the soil is rapidly exhausted Of its fertility.

Fertilizers which are prompt in their

one OF the reasons why this celebrated FER.
tlizer has won so extended reputation.

Guano on plants of every variety, aud
has almost invariably cxcellcd 1t; so that

of almost all other fertilizers. So decided
are il. merits. tha, its consumption Is in.

aud farmers have BECOME so well satisfied
of its value thai il is recognized as 4
standard manure in all paris ct the eoun-.

Whauu's Phosphate has produced surpri-
sing results and has brcnne to be regard
cd as indispensable to their culture. One
Of It's most decided successes has been
experienced in the culture Of Strawberries.
aud large quantities Of il are used for this
purpose On tomatoes also it has doubled
and even ,hrebled tie yield; and on many
farms where this f,vori,e vegetable IL
grown for canning, it is considered neces-
sayy 10 insure u profitable crop. On oats

have gradually disappeared, the demand
for Nhann's keeps on increasing. nnd ita
reputation still moro widely extends. This
