In the foregoing I have said manured with guano. The plantar need not nae guano at all If he has cotton seed and stacie manure to manare his land heavily, or he G in use his cotton seed and stable manure as fotos lt go ea, and; reduce the burch ase of ?nano. I am only, seeking to snow the planter that the second great remudy ls In highly manuring. If a planter ha? plenty of ojtton se*i and stable manure he need bave no guano-bat if he expects such yields and consequent pratt, he must chango bia system of manuring. In' plaoi of a small handful of Btable manure or cotton , seed under the hill, or light sprinkled In the drill, he must double the quantity there, and give lt a heavy broadcasting of manure, either with cotton aetd, stabie manure, or guano. To half manure land If was te on corn or cotton.' It may Improve lt a little, but to make lt profitable lt most be coated heavily, and treble the' production. . A little manure Under the punt Will star, it well, and g tve eas te?an oe to the roots nader the plant, but all planters know that as the season! appi ose h es for corn and cotton and all plants to fruit. 11 p ita forth lateral. roots extending across the rows, the ; octa seeking sustenance iov the plant to fruit and then and there must be the manure or sustenance lt seeks, and on that sustenance the stalk ls sustained, or fi ir .want, of it foils to .put forth fruit abundantly. Some will object, and say so muon manure will fire the plant: it ls. time such an abrard idea ts abandoned. I , will allow that if you put a handful of cotton seed or, stab le manur e under the plant,ana in a lump, and suf? fer t be sun to -dry lt before covered with, the plow or hoe, lt willdo but little if any good-lt may never vet wet after being covered dry, and In that state may, 'raid'' no cloubt wul. injure or dre the plant. All manures shoe ld be put In wet or damp and covered at once, then the soluble part of the manure imparta its richness to the t lurrounai n g soll, an d is grateful to th? roots of the Sla t. Plantera generally -feel that they must make lcd r. manare go hs 1^ ! lng s waste; both are fatal errors to success. Planters . ma} suggest mat the 4?? lbs. Guano or high manuring ' wit! i cotton seed or stable manure will not increase the 5001 M. to 1,500. lbs. cotton to the acre and the 10 bushels to 31'bushels.of corn. Tc i this I can only say, that experience ls all we can go Dy.- My own experience has extended back for twelveyears in the use of guano. "With the use of 100 pounds. I am iure, I always succeeded In all seasons, wet or dry,, to doable the production. This- year, from the use of 200 pounds, I am confident the aron is ln cre? sod throe times ; while iirmy foregoing caleula tlor s i have counted 400 pounds, which ls double the amount'of any' former quantity I used, and I con fl den Uy believe Iv. will cause the yield or a bale to the acn i on poor lands (If the land ls well prepared by pub BOil lng)"no matter if the year is wet or dry. Planters xna-r say, lM can't afford to expend $19 or $20 to the acn i for manure ; " to which I remy, you have to pay to the laborer a still greater sum. The cost of cultivating yoe must pay rae .laborer, and on' unmanured lands low ? money. If the money paid the extra labor la ex? pended In manure, and you make money, your inter? est la to.choose that course which produces the proflt ? abl 3 result. On rich lands; the effect of manure is also good. Every former of exp?rience, know* that a cow? per lot or land manured gives a great amount of fruit. Land, if ever HO rich, inclines to produce stalk. A mod , erato nroadcaating with manure wilt change 'that dis? pos lt ion from making: stalk to making fruit, and bring It fiuwatd'early out of harm's way.'r - JOHN S; REESE ? C?. K Early Maturely of Cotton. One of the most important resulta of the liberal vat of Soluble Pacific- Guano in the culture of cot? ton is the ea?]j period at which it causes tho crop to : nature. lt will be seen, by reference to some of the cor? res pondi nee in another column, that in conse qu ince of its use the picking was commenced and . con pie ted two weeks earlier than would otherwise ha 'e been the case. .: 'Che importance of this fact is fully appreciated by planters, and need cot be dwelt upon by us farther than to mention it as a quality, pertaining to 1 his Guano, in addition to its other excellencies INSPECTION REPORTS Beiert of Analysis of Average Sample of Pa? nino Guano in Store, for JOHN S.

LBJ ' Col Dr?as.................. ss " . The above, analysis provee that Pacifie Guano J is- a. very valuable fertiliser. .! It contains, in the first place, a supply of or? ganic matter, which, in the course of. decomposi? tion, evolves a oonsiderable quantity of ammonia, as well as the organic acids which acts as solvents j of the mineral salts. There is,therefore, a contin? uons supply of both these importent classes of 'agents dering the entire course of decomposition. It is well known that the tendency of ammonia ia to promote a vigorous growth, especially of the wuody fibre and the structure materials of the plant. We have, then, in this ingredient of the m inare under examination, the means of promo? ting a rapid development of the plant at the com? mencement of the season, Such a .development, however,'if unsupported by sufficient mineral matter, ia apt to bring about a'loose, watery stalk, which is unable .to resist the et.rly droughts of a Southern summer, j Recent ei;peri men te have shown the tendency on the part of ammoniacal manares to increase the quantity of water in stems arid. leaves. Thia difficulty is remedied by the second notable constituent of this giano, the soluble phosphoric acid,, existing in the form of bi-phoephate of lime.' Intimately mingled with the bi-phospbate ia the sulphate of ! tte same base, which supplies lime in a soluble form and in. abundant quantity to the growing plant. N?w phosphoric acid, whether in a free state or in its soluble salts, has a decided influence in forcing growth, while at the Baine time it fur? nishes inorganic nutriment. A combination of! ammonia and soluble phosphate may therefore be expected not only to hasten a more active growth, bat also to give vigor and solidity to the stem, and, to that extent, to protect the plant against the effects of drought. The other soluble ele? ments of vegetable food present in thia fertilizer, still further invigorate the growing crop. It is, however, the fate of all soluble manares rapidly to exhaust themselves. The greater their s< liability the shorter their action. A manure, then, which ia intended for general use, should I r ? ', i ? if/. have a reserve-fund'.-of les? .soluble constituents, whioh can be drawn on 'during the- wliol?igir?wr ing season.. Thia is fqund in,the: bone phosphate of lima whioh is herepres?nt insufficient qu?nti tji not only for,the demands pf the crop, butalso. for a atore , of phosphoric aoidVto'be aceamn?ated in the soil for farther ase. ) s A soluble phosphate is/speedfly diepoe?d of. '; It ' . is either , appropriated, by.plants, dewmposed. by ?the' soil, or washed down into the enbspii by rains.. Its-influence, therefore, can only be fully exerted daring the early stages of the development pf the crop. A bone phosphate, if intimately mingled with. abundance of animal matter, is gradually ' brought into solution as long as there are any or Snie compounds to decompose into solvente; and e more intimate the admixture the more com? plete and thorough will be this solution. A ma? nore, therefore, which contains a soluble phos? phate only, will act for but a short time at the beaning of the.growing season. One contain? ing nothing but bone phosphate and organic mat? ter will act too slowly for the', demands of th? plant; The needful amonntor phosphoric acid is furnished too grudgingly to th? crop, and while the soil is permanently improved little br imme? diate advantage is derived by the farmer. The' combination of the.two leaves nothing, to be de? rived aaa medium of supplying this necessary element of fertility. A." SNOWDEN PIQGOT, M. D.,~ ' Analytical*arid Consvtiing Chemist. Ammonia in Fertilizers, either Natural or ?rt?ft V. oiial. The difTeren?eui Value. . In anoth'er artiole we referred to. the important' difference between'mineral and earthy OT'organic phosph?te^in fertilizers. . We here propose; with the same view to cultivate a right underatauding of .these matters > in "tho. minds of farmers, tO: show that there is a similar difference of no less importance in the character bf tbe,ammofcur: found in fertil?er.i: Everybody knows how important an element .rmmonia is in fertilizers when it ex? ists in sufficient but hot . excessir? .jp?x?orf?w.-r The ammonia in all 'fertilizers, whether it ' he mach dr little, is either natural--that isy genera? ted by "the fermentation of animal matter, a? in Peruvian Guano, Pacific Guano, or raw oonej-or it isarlificiatr-that is, the manufactured salis of ammonia, such as carbonate, sulphate, or muriate of qmnhonia, which is put into them justin that form, and is mixed ap with them. Now it is very certain that a fertilizer in which the ammonia it contains is supplied by the mix-' tar? of the artificial salts cannot be compared; with one having the samo quantity in its natural form; or in which the ammonia is generated by fermentation.of ita organic animal Tnati?r. as is the case with "Pacific Gitano," "Penman Guano,'' and "Bone Flotte;" for,.independent of all other considerations, the work of nature always excels the work of art. ' C'^heteasoo why ..the natural ammonia is supe? rior is because it is much more readily and uni formiy. absorbed by the boil than when in tibe form of the artificial salts ; and besides all thia there is another decided and manifest, reason'why fertilizers in which their ammonia is generated by their animal matter are superior-which is, that the very fermentation, which necessarily takes place when a large part of the fertilizer is animal matter, not only generates the ammonia in the very best possible form, but this fermentation gener? ates other organic, gases, which, form organic acids, which very materially promote the solution and absorption of the bone phosphate and- other elements of .fertility in .-the Soil. Now,',there is not the least; doubt, that " SOLUBLE PACIFIC GUANO," in some measure, at least owe? its vast superiority to this fermentable property it possess? es, for by r?f?rence to the inspection re p or ts, of numerous cargoes heretofore published, it will be noticed that it contains nearly 35 per cent, of ani? mal matter, which generates 3J por cent, of natu? ral ammonia The fact that Pacific Guano contains this quan? tity ' of natural ammonia, generated by ?so. Jorge a portion of animal matter, .and that its large toer cent, of Phosphate of Lime is not mineral but organic phosphate, and that so much of ita phos? phate is in a perfectly soluble form-we say these facts account for its remarkable action in contrast with the numerous Super-phosphates and other fertilizers offered in the markets. JOHN S. REESE & Co. , Paoiflo Guano compared with Super Phosphate of Lime. The advautagea of Pacific Guano byer the va? rious Super-phosphates are the following: First. It contains iiearhj or quito double the quantity of ammonia, which ammonia is the natu? ral product of the fermentation of the animal matter in Pacific Guano, the same as in Peruvian Guano and unsteamed bone. Some Super-phos? phates are entirely destitute of ammonia ; in others it is supplied by the artificial Balts of ammonia. Secondly, lt must be remembered that-the value of organic animal matter is hot limited to the fact that it generates ammonia but by its fer? mentation the absorption of the Phosphates in the Guano, and the other elements of fertility in the soil are greatly promoted. This effect does not take place where-no animal matter ia found. Thirdly. Pacific Guano contains, we believe, a very much larger per cent of Soluble and Bone Phosphates of Lime than is found in the Super Phosphates, and just in that proportion is supe? rior. Beside all this, the Phosphates in Pacific guano are earthy and of recent organic origin, and not petrified or mineral in character. Hence, as will be noticed,.Pacific Guano is comparatively of light weight and soft texture, like Peruvian Guano : not granular, dense, and heavy, hence ita superiority. JOHN S. REESE & Co. Natur-!
