EXPERIENCE in the use of this Guano for
L. the past six years in this State, for Cotton
and Corn has so far established its character for
excellence as to render comment unnecessary.
In accordance with the established policy of
the Company to furnish the best Concentrated
Fertilizer at the lowest cost to consumers, this
Guano is put into market this season at the
above reduced price, which the Company is en-
abled to do by reason of its large facilities and
the reduced cost of manufacture.
The supplies put into market !his season are,
as heretofore prepared under the personal su-
perintendence of DR.. st. Julian Ravenel, Chem
ist of the Company, at Charleston, S. c., hence
planters may rest assured that its QUALITY
and COMPOSITION is precisely the same as
that heretofore sold. AT the present low price
every acre planted can be fertilized with 200
pounds Guano at a cost not exceeding the pres
ens value of 80 pounds of cotton, while expert
once has shown that under favorable conditions
of season and cultivation the crop is increased
by the application from two to threefold the
natural capacity of the soil. Hence, under no
conditions could its application fail to compen-
safe for the outlay. Apply to

Iron HUlls for Vessels.

From the Chicago Evening POST
A company has been proposed, and Will
probably even be established in St. Louis.
for constructing iron barges and the hubs
of iron steamers, in addition to other work
of forge, furnace and foundry. This is Il
move in the right direction, for even with
a limited experience il has been demon
strated that iron is superior to wood in
vessels desi gned for river as well as ocean
service. 1t may be made nearly as cheap
and is so much more durable as to be in
fact cheaper than wood. with much less
tendency TO wear out. Why, with unlim-
tied supplies of the best iron in the world,
and coal at easy command, iron ship build
ing has had so little extension in this cOun-
try, is one of those mysteries which can
only be explained by the absurdity OF mis-
called protection.
The effect of this folly has been to render
the discovery of every new and valuable
iron mine source of injury to the people,
by increasing the price OF the article. Cheap
iron Will build cheap vessels, whose rates of
carriage will correspond with the amount
of capital invested. St. Louis is admirably
located to carry on this branch of manufac-
ture, and may in time stock not only the
rivers but canals and lakes with improved
craft. There is no sufficient reason why the
West should get its chief supplies of this
metal from Pittsburg, when it can be OBJ
tanned 80 much easier nearer home. We
shall be pleased to see this new enterprise
meet with full measure of success, pro-
vided it stands on its own merits. The no.
ton of asking government loan to start
business upon is wild and chimerical. and
would open the door to endless applications
of the same kind if granted. Every fact
adduced shows that such an Investment
would pay. If it will not, no one should
embark in it.

TO Drive Rats Away Without Poison
The Old French Plan.

This is followed Chiefly in Paris by men who
make il a special business. They takO deep
tub with water on tho bottom, aud little ele-
walton in the middle like On island, on which
Is only place lor jus, ono 70, TO sit on. Tho
;op is covered and las a large balanced valve,
opening downward; on tic middle Of this
valve piece Of fried pork or cheese is fixed,
and when rat walks on it to get the cheese,
the valve goes down, drops the rat in the
water and moves back in position, 4 road IS
made from a rst-holo to the tOpoftub by means
Of piece Of board rubbed with cheese SO as TO
make the walk attractive for the rats. In the
course of single night some ten or twenty, or
even more rats may 60 down, andifthc Island
was not there they would bo found most oil
alive in the morning quietly swimming round
but the provision Of the little island saves the
trouble Of killing them, because their egctistic
ins,iuc, of SELF preservation causes them to
fght for the exclusive possession Of the island,
on which in the morning, the strongest rat is
found in solitary possession all tho others be-
ing killed and drowned around him
