GUANo.-The Alliance Official Guano
which we are having manufactured
this year is the same goods as hereto
fore, made from same formula and
from same high grade materials. Any
reliable member of the Alliance wish
ing to make investigation for himself
and others has a standing invitation
from the company to visit their several
plants and examine the materials and
see the grods made. Bro. W. B. Up
church, of Morrisville, Wake county,
N. c., tells us that he has just visited
the factory at Durham and is highly
pleased with his observations. He says
the Alliance goods are ammoniated
only with animal substance, such as
5eefbEOOd and bone, and that the potash
isnot derived, from. kainit, but is such
potash as. you buyEfrom drug stores.
Bro. Upchurch uses this guano exclu-
siVely, and says he is better pleased to-
day than aver before, He has already
bought this season between two and
three car loads for himself and neigh
bOrs and placesshis order to-day for
lab sacks more. Bro. Upchurch is q
practical man, and says it will not do
to take risks on inferior goods. He
has sold the tobacco grown on less
than three-fourthss of an ere of land
last year for $315.O 90, and the tobacco
grown on six acres for 81, 800. The
only guano he used to make these good
results was the North Carolina Alliance
official. In order to satisfy myself
and others regarding the chemical
analysis of ourfguano I engaged DR..
otto Meyer, analytical chemist and
assayer, Raleigh, N. O., to take sample
and make analysis from q lot of our
guano shipped to Bro. G. H. Belts, guano
