BEST METHOD OF USING GUA ?
I * NO ON CORN. t
In the year 18G4,1 used guano upon 8
' Corn land >w follows/viz : ^
1st Experiment. I sowed the guano ^
I broad cast, turned it in with a two-hone ?
I plow, then laid off the rows 5 feet, and n
dropt the corn 2 feet apart and covered t'i
( it with the harrow.
2nd Experiment. Flushed the land, ^
, laid off the rowa as above, sowed the *
guano in the row, dropt the corn and 11
j covered as before. I1
3d Experiment. Flushed the land, !s
and planted the corn with no guano, at
f the same distance as in the other two
I! lots.
(I As soon as the corn got large enough 0<
, ; to wood, I ran the little dagant plow as ?
(i close as I could to the corn and turuod u
P the dirt from it, following with the hoes, ii
t thinning and putting a little dirt to the q
corn. As soon a* I got over I turned <jj
,! back where I firiit commenced throwing q
, | the dirt off, and threw one trip to tho u
, corn. When I got to the lot that had : Ii
. up guano, I sowed the same quantity M
, broadcast that I had previously eo^ecLj,!

I done no more work to 1:. It all had ai
, the samo work and tiic same chance k
every way. But tho last lot that had ?
, the guuno applied when throwing tue n
I dirt back, made more corn than both tl
iof the other* together. p,
Whon I commenced throwing tho dirt g,
