Neither in England nor in France from a number of volumes ou held sports-in Europe, India and Africa, do we find a more racy, graphic aud interesting book than the ‘Carolina Sports, by ; Bou.

The result exceeded my expectation, although the experiments, for many reasons, were not, and could not be conducted with due camion; yet, I am entirely satisfied, that the growth of we- and, in both instances, and i the fruit in corn, and in the number of bolls of cotton, were fully double the yield iu the portions umnanured, and this when only a table-spoonful of the Superphos phate was applied as a top-dressing to each hill of corn, aud atea spocnful to each stakofeotton —and the last as ‘ate ?n th* season as the ißth of July. Some of the weed grew to nine fee - high, with six feet branches, covered with bolls, wh le the uumamired was not half so j good. It is my mt?n ion, next year, to test it more j fully.

This Guano feeds, but does not stimulate to excess, the roots of plants, and they are thereby enabled to withstand the elfects of drouth to a greater degree than by the use of ny other fertilizer known. Tbe universal objecion to the use of Peruvian Guano, from its fatal results during a dry season, is obviated by tbe use of tbe American Gusuo.
