Peafoody on Commer? cial Manures. HIS METHOD OF APPLICATION AND RESULTS. Editort Southern Cultivator : As I nm 'constantly receiving letters from all parts of theo?tton-grow ing States, asking my Tiews of Guano?what kinds 1 prefer?how I use it, and what quantities ??I will make the Cultivator the medium of my answer to all. Some twenty-five years ago, I began to ex? periment with Guano. First, I tried Peruvian. This gave good satisfaction, but was, I then thought, rather expensive. I have since tried all of the other varieties of note. Some were good, others worthless. I had come to the conclusion that the Peruvian, however costly, was the cheap? est in the end, as a hard-working, industrious man could manipulate it, with any other substaace he thought proper. I have found salt, plaster, flow? er of bones, swamp muck, ic, valuable io ma? nipulate with Peruvian Guano, but the labor of manipulation is great, and in the process of ma? nipulation, much of the ammonia escapes. From this fact I have been led to inquire, whether there wai not an excess of ammonia in Peruvian Guano, and whether it would not be more advantageous to pay for the Phosphates, than to pay so much extra for the volatile ammonia. Whilst full of this idea, I struck the Soluble Pacific Guano, and was so well pleased with it, that last year I manured one-half of my cotton with it, and the other half with the genuine Peruvian. The same quantity of each was used per acre. The land was of the same quality, the plant it, c: and culture was in all respects the same, and when the crop was gather? ed, it was impossible to tell which was the best. Now the Soluble Pacific Guano cost roe $20 less per ton, and as a consequence, I have this year used the Soluble Pacific Guano alone. It cost me at the Agent's Depot in Columbus, $75 per ton. It may be well here to state the character of my land. I do not live on exactly what would be called pine barrens, but it is next to it. The older portion of my land will not, with ordinary culture, bring three hundred pound* of seed cotton to the acre. A field of ten acres, which I wished to ex? periment on with the Dickson Cotton, hybridizing it with my Upland Long Staple. I plowed and sub-soiled in March, leaving the surface perfectly level; the 20th of April, I laid it off in lands about twenty-five feet wide, and sowed Soluble Pacific Guano broadcast, ?.t the rate of two hundred pounds to the acre. This I turned under, with a turn shovel, then opened furrows three feet apart^ with a long point scooter, following in the same furrow I put two hundred pounds more of the Gu? ano to the acre. Then I threw the furrows togeth? er into the centre, with a turn shovel, which left but a slight ridge, and on this ridge planted the seed. The Dickson variety bears much thicker planting than other kinds. The growth and fruit? ing of the crop was superb?nothing equal to it had ever been seen in this section of the country, and if the worms had not swept all the top and end bolls, it would have made two good bales to the acre. As bad as it has turned out, it has made a bale to the acre. To a half acre near my dwel? ling, that I had cow-penned last winter, I applied two hundred pounds of the Soluble Pacific Guano in the drill, and, notwithstanding excessive wet weather in August, and the worms, which took all the late crop, I have picked over twe thousand pounds of seed cotton from the half acre. There arc those in my ueighboi hood, who plant land as good as mine, but without Gunno, thnt will scarce? ly realize a bale frommen acres this year. And now a word to the purchaser. If you would get the Soluble Pacific Guano Genuine, purchase it only ot the authorized agents of the Company. I have tried the Peruvian and Pacific on my garden crops, but with no good results. Pcruviau Guano seems to be emphatically the food for the cotton fruit?other fertilizers may make more weed; but in the purchase of Peruvian Guano, wc are pay? ing for a volatile ammonia, much of which is bound to escape, without benefit to crops. Will it not be to the planter's iuterest to take that Guano which is richer in phosphates, and yet an abun? dance of nmmonia for all practical purposes? The Soluble Pacific Guano I have found from sound practical tests, to be equal to the Peruvian and much cheaper. I bold that no man can afford to plant cotton without Guano. CHAS. A. PEA BODY.

To the People of 'the Southern States : When the pure medicinal restorative, now so Widely known as Wolfe's Schiedam Sohnapps, was in troduced into thp world under the endorsement of four thousand leading members of the medio&l profession some 20 years ago, its proprietor was well aware that it could not wholly escape the penalty attached to all new and useful prepara? tions. He, therefore, endeavored to invest it with strongest possible safeguard against counterfeiters, and to render all attempts to pirate it difficult and dangerous. It was submitted to distinguished chemists for analysis, and pronounced by them tho purest spirit ever manufactured. Its purity and properties having been thus ascertained, samples of the article were forwarded to ten thousand phy? sicians, including all the leadiug practitioners in the United States, for purposes of experiment. A circular, requesting a trial of the preparation and a report of the result, accompanied each specimen. Four thousand of (he most eminent medical men in tho Union promptly responded. Their opin? ions of the article were unanimously favorable. Such a preparation they said, had long been wanted by the profession, as no reliehce could be placed on the ordinary liquors of commerce, nil of Which were more or less adulterated, and therefore unfit for medical purposes. The peouliar excellence and strength of the oi'. of juniper, which formed one of the principal ingredients of the Schnapps, to? gether with an unalloyed character of tho alcohol? ic element, give it, in the estimation of the faculty, a marked superiority over every other diffusive stimuiant as a diuretic, tonicand restorative. These satisfactory credentials from professional men of the highest rauk were published in a con? densed form, and enclosed with each bottle of the Schnapps, as one of the guarantees of its genuine? ness. Other precautions ngainst fraud were also adopted: a patent was obtained for the article, the label was copyrighted, a fae simile of the pro? prietor's autograph signature was attached to each label and cover, his name and that of theptepara tion were embossed on the bottles, and the corks were sealed with his private seal. No article had ever been sold in this country under the name of Schnapps prior to the introduction of Wolfe's Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps, in 1851; and the label was deposited, as his trade mark, in the Uni? ted States District Court for the Southern District of New York that year. It might be supposed by persons unacquainted with the daring character of the pirates who prey upon tho reputation of honorable merchants by vending deleterious trash under their name, that the protection so carefully thrown around these Schnapps would have precluded the introduction and sale of counterfeits. They seem, however, to have only stimulated the rapacity of imposters. The trade mark of the proprietor has been stolen; the indorsement which his Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps alone received from the medical profes? sion has been claimed by mendacious humbugs; his labels and bottles have been imitated, his ad? vertisements paraphrased, his circulars copied, and worse than all, dishonorable retailers, after dispo? sing of the genuine contents of his bettles, have filled them up with common gin, the most delete? rious of all liquors, and thus made his name and brand n cover for poison. The public, the medical profession and the sick, for whom the Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps is prescribed as a remedy, are equally interested with the proprietor in the detection and suppres? sion of these nefarious practices. The genuine article, manufactured at the establishment of the undersigned, in Schiedam, Holland, is distilled from a barley of the finest quality, and flavored with an essential extract of the berry of the Ital? ian juniper, of unequalled purity. By a process unknown in the preparation of any other liquor, it is freed from every acrimonieus and corrosive element. Complaints have been received from the leading physicians and families in the Southern States of the sale of cheap imitations of the Schiedam Aro? matic Schnapps ill those markets; and travellers, who are in the habit of using il as an antidote to the baneful influence of unwholesome river water, testify that cheap gin, put up in Schiedam bottles, is frequently palmed off upon the unwary. The agents of the undersigned have been requested to institute inquiries on the subject, and to forward to him the names of such parties as they may as? certain to be engaged in the atrocious system of deception. In conclusion, the undersigned would say ihp.1 he has produced, from under the hands of the most distinguished men of science in America, proofs unanswerable of the purity and medicinal excellence of the Schcidam Aromatic Schnapps; that he has expended many thousand dollars in surrounding it with guarantees ami safeguards, which he designed should protect the public nnd himself against fraudulent imitatious ; that helms shown it to bo the only liquor in the world that can be uniformly depended upon as unadulterated; that he has challenged investigation, analysis, comparison, and experiment in all its forms; and from every ordeal the preparation which bears his name, seal and trade mark, has come off trium? phant. He therefore feels it a duty he owes to his fellow-citizens generally, to tho medical pro? fession and the sick, to donounco and expose the charlatans who counterfeit these evidences of identity, and he calls upon the press and the pub? lic to aid him in his efforts to remedy so great an evil. The following lottcrs and certificates from the leading physicians and chemists of this city will prove to the reader that all goods sold by the un? dersigned are all they arc represented to be. UDOLPIIO WOLFE. I feel bound to say, that I regard your Schnapps as being in every respect pre-eminently pure, aud deserving of medical patronage. At all events, it is the purest possible article of Holland Gin, here? tofore unobtainable, and as such may be safely pre? sented by physicians. DAVID L. MOTT. M. D., Pharmaceutical Chemist, New York. 2(i Pink Street, New York, Nov. 21, 18G7. Udoi.pho Wolfe, Esq., Present: Dear Sir: I have made a chemical examination of a sample of your Schiedam Schnapps, with the intention of determining if any foreign or injurious substance had been added to (he simple distilled spirits. The examination has resulted in the conclusion that the sample contained no poisonous or harmful admixture. 1 have been unable to discover any trace of the deleterious substances which are em? ployed in the adulteration of liquors. I would not hesitate to uiie myself or to recommend to others, for medicinal pnrposc8) the Schiedam Schnapps as an excellent and unobjectionable variety of gin. Very respectfully yours. (Signed,) CHAS. A. SEELY, Chemist. New Yoiik, 53 Cedar Strset, November 2?, 1807. Uooli'ho Wolfe, Esq., Present: Dear StJt: I have submitted to chemical analy? sis two bottles of ".Schiedam Schnapps." which I look from a fresh package in your bonded ware? house, and lirtd, as before, that the spirituous li? quor is free from injurious ingredients or falsifica? tion ; that it has the marks of being aged and not recently prepared by mechanical admixture of alco , hoi and aromatics. Respectfully, FRED. F. MAYER, Chemist. New York. Tuesdayf May 1. Udolpho Woi.fr, Esq: Dear Sir : The want. of pure Wines and Liquors for medicinal purposes has been long felt by the pro? fession, and thousands of lives have been sacrificed by the use of adulterated articles. Delirium tre? mens, and other diseases of (he brain and nerves, so rife in this country, are very rare in Europe, owing, in a great degree, to the difference in the purity of the spirits sold. We have tested the several artioles imported and sold by you, including your Gin, which you sell un? der the name of Aromatic Schiedam Schnapps, which we consider justly entitled to the high repu? tation it fins acquired in this country; and from your long experience as a foreign importer, your Bottled Wines and Liquors Bhould meet with tho same dorn and. Wc would recommend to you to appoint some of the respectahle apothecaries in different parts of the city as agents for the sale of your Brandies nnd Wines, when: the profession can obtain the tamo when needed for medicinal purposes.
