NVieW 3t @ the near approach of another
thod OF calling your attention. to some facts
concerning tho use Of SOLUBLE PACIFIC
GUANO, which think you will find both
interesting and valuable. Being among
the first who introduced GuAno into this
State. can confidently refer to my plant
ing friends, that in the series of years
have sold them manures, have always
given pure article. Purchasers will find
II TO their interest to give me a ca before
bu! ing, 81 from the facilities have, and
my long experience In the business, I am

SOLUBLE PACIFIC GUANO.
It is now an admitted fact, established
and confirmed by many years' experience
in the use ofSOLUBI.E PACIFIC aUANO,
that an ordinary application to Cotton and
Corn increases tho yield to double the pSH-
duction oil the same soil unfertilized. fhjs
statement is in nowise exaggerated; on II
contrary, the results more frequently ex-
ceed than fall short ~ the above increase.
The Importance OF an agency which thus
increases the products OF hired labor, can
not be over-estimated. It il All agency
which makes tao bales q cotton ant; f,co
barrels of corn grow where one grew before
1t is an agency which makes tho la Dor OF
one indn equal to the luGor Of ttco. II is an
agency which makes one acre under culli-
vation equal TO ftoo acres. 1t is an agency
which. it will be found by fair calculation,
pays the consumer, with cotton at present
or even lower price, three to five dollars
back for every one dollar invested, and this
within period Of eight n, onths' timo. The
! above statements are not mere assertions,
but are verified by more than nine years
experience, and are testified to by thou
sands OF farmers and planters throughout
tho Middle and Southern States. II it. be
true. as stated, that the crop is double by
PER cENTUM OF PRorIT is when applied to
cotton, putting the price OF cottnn at Is
cents per pound. Planters often say they
have made 100 per cent, because tho Gu.
ano has doubled tho crop. That is Il mis-.
take; it is much more than profit OF 100
per cent. on the money invested.
Let Us ca!culate the profit. TO arrive at
the per cent. Of profit on an inYG,l ment.
tho net cost mnst be divided into tie net
gam Now, ii an acre OF ground will pro-
Pacific GUASO. and will produce 800 pounds
ny tho usv oi 2i'U pounds SOLUBLE Pacific
GUANo, then the increase from the use OF
the dnano ia $50 pounds lint cotton, tho
cost of which il The money value OF 200
pounds Gnano. Hence. if we deduct the
cost OF tho GuanO from the value Of $50
pounds cotton produced By it, VIC have the
net gain from it's use; then, if we divide the
cost OF tho 200 pounds Guano into the nat
gain, NO get tho o1ac. per ::c;;:. ;;. profit.
Thus:
$50 pounds cotton. net gain from use
OF 200 pounds Guano, at Is cents

thus invested, 81 G8 is received in return.

and So G3 arc clear profit, thus being IS OS

fair and correct showing? II not, where
is the errOi2 Now. IL 1t he true to one-half
tho above extent, SOLUBLE PACIFIC GuaNo
is an agency OF the highest value TO agricul-
turo, and we commend it to you in season.
