and, on reflection, / believe that you
are right believe that have killed
You; but, have taken my oath that
if God will forgive me for having un-
intentionally murdered You, | will new.

PACIFIC GUANO.
Price $45 Cash, with usual Advance on Time.

EXPERIENCE in the use of this Guano for
IT, 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 this season are,
as heretofore, prepared under the personal su-
perintendcnce 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 cost not exceeding the pres
ent value of 80 pounds of cotton, while expert
ence 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

equally suitable. The form of tile now most
approved is the pipe or sole tile They have
advantages over the horseshoe shape, in that
they are smaller and all in one piece; this
makes them cheaper in the first cost, and also
more economical in transportation.
II will here remark, Mr.. Editor, for the in
formation of your readers, that the last named
are the tiles now manufactured by our friend
Crayton in your corporation at least they are
such as have received from him, and accord
ing to our judgment an article that may be
relied on by the farmers and planters of our
county.
''These tiles are simply placed end to end in
the bottom of the ditch, then wedged little
with small stones, if necessary. Experience
has shown that the water cannot be kept out.
These tiles are very durable. Prof Norton
says, if buried at good depth, they can scarce
ly be broken; and if well baked are not liable
to moulder away. There seems no reason why
well made drains of this kind should not last
for century
"In England the practice of securing The
tile at the joints by collars is extensive, but it
has not been adopted in this country. The
tiles should be laid in by commencing at the
upper end, and advancing downwards. They
should be laid as level, straight and closely to-
gether as possible. The work should in no
case be allowed to be done imperfectly, for the
least failure in the detail will lead to serious
difficulties"
Thinking this article long enough for one
paper Mr. Editor, I will call off from labor 10
refreshment, and in my ne1t-if the game to
you is still worth the ammunition-wll con-
