The importance OF al agency which thus
increases the pr0duota of hired labor, can
not be over. ertimatod 1t is an agency
which makes too bales Of cotton and tloo
barrels Of corn grow VIII. re- one grew before.
It is all agency which makes the labor of
one r''dn equal to the lub,r of t,oo It IL an
agency which makes one ucre under cult.
vAtion equal to tioo acres. II is AN agency
which. it will be found By fair calculation. !.

or even lower price. tbreo to five dnllars
back for every one dollar inverted and this
within period of eight months tlmo he
but are verified BY more than nine year,
experience, and are testified to by thou
saude OF farmers and planters throughout
the Middle aud Southern States. Ii il be
true, aB stated. that the crop is double by
the use OF this Guano, let us see what tho
cotton, putting the price OF cotton at Is
cents per pound. Planters often say they
have made 100 per cent, because the Gu
ano has doubled the crop. That is a mia.
per cent. on the money invested.
Let us calculate the profit. TO arrive at
the per cent. OF profit on an investment,
the net cost must be divided into The nct
gain Now, il an acre Of ground will pro-
duce $50 pounds lint cotton without SOLUBLE
by the use Of 200 pounds SOLUBLE PACIFIC
GUANo, then the increase from the use OF
the 0uano is 16Q pounds lint cotton. th g
cost Of which 10 the money value Of 200
pounds Guano. Hence, If we deduct the
cost OF the Gusno from the value OF 100
pounds cotton produced by 1t, we have the
net gain from its 1ee; then, il we divide the
cost Of the 200 pounds Guano into the net
gain, we get the exact per cent. Of profit.
Thus:
$50 pounds cotton. net gain from use
OF 200 pounds Guano, at IS cents
Deduct cost Of 400 pounds Gnano 'NN0'
(cash price) $48. 90 per ton......... 4 80
Net profit. s17 70
Now divide 81 90 net cost, into SIT. 10.
net gain, and the result is 368, which is 36S
per cent. In other words, for every dollar
thus invested, 81 GS is received in return,
one OF which is the original investment.
and So 63 are clear profit, thus being So 68
for ono, which is 368 per cent. 1s not this
fair and correct showing II not, where
ie the error? Now. i; it lie true to one BIS III
the above extent, SOLUBLE PACIFIC GUANo
is an agency OF the hig n eat value to agricnl-
ture, and We commend 1t to you in season.
