pERrvIAN V. DOM ESTIC GUANo
r M. Anderson. Moore, ; C--An
agent came around a few days ago,
selling genuine Peruvian guano. which
analyses as follows:
Az. phos. acid. 20 per cent
Potash per cent
Ammonia ,..............4.O0 per cent
He offers TO deliver in January or Feb
ruarv next at s2.35 cash Will il pay
me 10 hi yit instead OF the ordinary
9.2:2 - Sl6 So?
misunderstanding to my valuation Of
the valuable clements and assuming that
the entire 20 per cent Of phosphoric acid
contained in the Peruvian to be avail
able" one ton of it would be worth SSo.Vl
while one ton of the home guano would
be worth at same valuations, Sl43o On
this basis one ton of The Peruvian would
be worth 81 Al more than two tons OF the
home guard, but woulT not cost as much
by 0.S5
think you may make those calcula +
tons yourself by the following rule: Mul-
tiplv the per cent of av. phos. acid by
50 cents; multiply the per cent OF potash
by IS cents, and multiply the per cent
of ammonia by 30 tdollars) Add the
three products together and you have the
value of one ton Of the Suano or other
fertilizing mixture.

will please you to answer the following
questions. | have Il lot Of land that
want to sow III oats: it is full of vegeta-
ton. clover. grass and weeds foot hgn.,
Some tells me it will kill the land to turn
it this time Of the wear. Will it hurt the
land to turn with a two-horse pillow then
harrow?
Answer-The turning under of the vege-
tation at this time will not injure the
land in the least. but it would put it out
OF condition for a crop to be Immediately
planted, especially a crop of wheat But
the best plan would I've to NOV the
cover. grass and weeds" and convert the
same into hay. Ii never pays to turn
under anything that can be made into
paatable hay. But you do not want TO
the oats before the middle of Septem-
Der to middle Of October. But ! would
greatly prefer to nov off the vegetation
now occupying the land.

Answer--I did not see the article re-
ferrcG to. but had ] read 4 tne state
nent that eggs year old, having been
subjected to The treatment with solution
of silicate of soda, had then Matched out
chickens. I would not have believed any

prAvINrs AM prA-ROOTs

w Il Fuller want to know If ii is
the roots Of the peas that fertilizes the
ground, or is 1t the vines and will it do
to cut the vines for hay after they have
been killed by frost; or would 1t be best
to out them before the frost kills them?
Answer-Both tho roots and the vines,
every part of the plant contribute to-
ward. fertiiizing the soil. but the vines
much more than the roots, because the
weight of the vines is much greater than
the weight Of the roots. I imagine that
vine would make a very poor hay indeed.
and would not like to feed valuable ami
mails or such feed.

would shoot the first man who at
tempted to break down the door. The
place was surrounded by troops and
orders we're given to shoot the man if
he appeared with his gun again. Later

were exchanged, the attorney being
