Pacific Guano is a fgod manure for the soll I plant, at least, and I want o get some for wheat this fall. L R. BEOKWITH. ORANonunui DIST., 8. 0., Oct. 18th, 1867. J. H. Robwa, Naq.: Dear Sir-Your letter, asking me to give you the results of the use of the Soluble Pacifc Ounno as a test against the Peruvian,.has come to hand, and I will cliorfully comply with your request. I first used then pound for-pound (100 lbs. per acre, in the name field.) The land on which the Pacific was used has producod a weed hearly tWIce as large. as the Peruvian, And has boiled in proportion. I aw confi dent -the yield will exceed the Peruvinti land by at least 60 per cent. I then used the two In relation to cost, say 120 lbs. Pacific to 100 lbs. Peruvian, and the increase of growth and frult was in proportion to the firstinstance, and I believe the yield will be at least 75 per ent. better than the Peruvian. I used the Paciflo 150 lbs. to the acre, on a piece of land that would make abont 760 pounds seed 'cotton, without it, nid the land wilN certainly turn md' o1tf at least 1,100 or 1,200 lbs. I also used it 51.ibg to the acre, on coni and pens, on a field th9t-generally t'vpraged fnom 8 to 9 bushels corn wjth'but manure, and I have gathered the corn, Ny)dali tirned out aboit 12 buslels per acre, and, hp(l the stand been rgular, I tbink it would have/yIelded at least a bushel more, and the peas are onounced to be the best evei seen in that field. n the whole, the Pa cific Guano seems to suit our lands the best. I do not considei' that it had a fair chance to show its true value'this year, owing to the very wet and uii favorablo sessons. These statements are not giveh wholly on rny own Judgment, for some of my neigh -bore who have seen ny crop will testify there is a decided difference in favor of the Pacific Guano. I am, very respectfilly, I4. X.BEOKWITH. EDouI9,1D, 8. Or, June 24th, 1867.. Dear 8r-I purcliased 6one Bbluble Pacific Guano fom yOu, and I-tdalk It better on dry land f6r cotton than the unmixed Peruvian, because It line more lime in it, and is not so burning or stimulating. Very respecttiliy, yours. Vrom NORTH CAROLINA. WTLMINOTON, N. 0., Dec. 18, 1800. N&WOra. Joit S. Re.a A Co.. - Gent-We write to ask at what time we may reason ably expect the cargo of 150 tons Soluble Pacific Guano. We are having inquiries for it rnom our customers who received their. supplies through us last spring. Mr. 0. Graliam, of Marion 0. H-., 8. (.i writes us under dateof Oth'instant, "that the &ible Pac(flo Guano, as far as they have used it in his district, has given general satisfaction; and from the Inquiries making about Guano, the Soluble Pacific will be very mich in demand." We sold about 50 tons last spring in Aason and Edgecomb counties, in this'State, and the result has been satisfactory to the planters who applied it; so much so, that many of them 'will use it for their entire crops this season, being cheaper by $20 per ton than Peruvian, and the yield fully equal. Far mers find it to theirinterebt to buy the facifSI ""uano. This Guano being already prepared, i another in duceient to planters to use it in preference to Peru vion Guano. We have dealt Largely in Peruvian Guano for twelve years, and continue to deal In it; at the same time we feel no hesitancy in recommend Ing the PacIlt Guan6 wh'en our opinion is consulted.

Pnn: G Gen(s-We used the "Paciflevano" purchased of you last spiing on cotton, putting from one hun dred to ode hundred and filly pounds to the acre. During the dry season, where it was used side by side With stable manure, the glianoed cotton re mtained green and luxuriant, wlidle the other fired and shed Its leaves and forms. We also used It side by side with the Peruvian Quano, and prefer It to that celebrated Fertilizer. We can sa1ely say that it is the baL and dseapest manure we'lhave ever used, and cheerfhlly recommend it to the public. Very respectfully, ' W. D. JONES, E. E. GILL, P. HI. MANGUM, JAMIE8 0.

I used I alongsideo of Peruvian Guano; I used the same mea sure or bulk of one that I did of the ether, and I am fully satisfied the yield of wheat is as good, if not better, where the Pacific wan applied. I also made the same experiment with oats last spring, and turned out equally as good as with the wheant, and would recommend it to all who are In want of a re liable manure. Yours, truly, 'l'HS. WV.

I did so, using the same quant-ity on the same soil, the same day's sowing. The result is I can dis cov'er no di.fference in the crop, and, I feel perfectly satisfied, fron thq trial I asve made, that t-he Soluble Pacieis G uano isfsu equal to the Peruvian. G. N. BASTABLE.

On the same iland I put a good, coat of first-rate barn-yard and Stable manure. I have no hesitation in saying that tihe Ouanoed.whaeat is much superior, being k eav&er and larg~er in yrdeld. .On Asma~ll piece of tho sa'me land, which had neither Guano nor manure, the wheat was very poor.
