A Cargo of 500 tona now on the way to thin port. Thin Guano gavo groat satisfaction in Yirgioia and North Carolina tho pant season. Circu? lar and certificates pent on application. c Prof. Wilson, of Uallimoro, Aid., says Of this Guano: "By a critical examination ol tho analysis of the various cargoes you have imported, a striking foatnro is the great regularity in the per cunt age of tho important constituents essential for the injunction of all crops." l'ror. F.A. Genth.of Philadelphia, Pcnn., saya: "ibe Guano is evidently of animal origin, and tho minute bones which wore discovered in ttio same, indicate that it is tho result of tho decay of bata, mice. Ac. The quantity of organio matter which is still present in abont 12 per cent., and this yields about 2J per cent, of ammonia. A portion of the nitrognn is present as nitric aoid, of which about 3 per cont. were found. All the nitrogen present would be equiva? lent to about 3& per cent, of ammonia. The phosphoric acid in?tho Gnono averaged about 12* per cent., equal to 27 8 per cant, of Bouu ruospbate. A consideraDie quan? tity of the phosphoric acid, however,' is preaont aaBo-called neutral Phosphate of Lime, which, being slightly aolublo in water, renders the Guano as quiokindta action as a corresponding quantity of Su? perphosphates would do. The small per oeutage or potash whioh was found in analysis adda to its value. From all the experiments which I have made of the Guanahani Guano no doubt can exist that it is a valuable manure." I Prof. H. 0. White, or tho Georgia State Agricultural Society, says: "As ehown by the analysis, this Guano contains, tn good proportion, all the olenvMB which are generally considered ab v.: .alue ior plant food, and tho forms and combinations in which thoy are present are such as to ren? der them available, tu and assimilable by the plant. 1 should judge that the proper neo ol this article for purposes of fertiliza? tion would bo attended with great profit." Prof. Charles U. Hhopard, Jr.; in a recent analysis of this Guano, says: "This Guano (of animal origin) would appear from its physical and chemical properties to an? swer every reasonable expectation of a commercial manure.
