Dared, by the assistance of one of the beet

give as mucii attention to the insertion of ARTIFI
CIAL TEETH as he has heretofore to the preserva
tion of the uatural onea. nis patent method, (pa
tented May, I860,) which is now being used by all out
best Dentists, both North and South, enables him to
promise a more easy and perfect fitting plate than can
possibly be mado by tho common and uncertain process
oi’ making Dies. By this method the die is taken
directly from the impression of the mouth, thus giving
us a die by which to fit our plates as perfect as thi
jaw itself.
Wc are so confident in our ability to construct a bet
ter and more comfortable fitting plate by this method
than can possibly be made by any other, that we will

AMERICAN GUANO.
flTHK attention of the banters of Georgia and
JL South Carolina is called lo the Guano trom Ba
ker s a d Jarvis* Island, in the r&c.'ficuceau.
This Guauo has been recently muodu ed. nut fully
tested lu 1801. It has been aualyaed by Dr. Drys
dale in more than one hundred exp^r mints on tne
Island ; by Ba on Li b ; g, ol* Prussia; by Henry, • f the
Siiiltiison an Instil u o • by Tot ley, ol the Essay Olllre,
New York; by Dr. Hick well, Inspector oi Gtutt o for
Maryland ; and by rauuy o hors—all of whom concut
in t e r-suits, that the Baker's Island Guano pos
sesses 81 l er cent, of the phosphate of lime—makiuj
100 lbs. or it equal to 14(1 fbs. of bouc dust. But tho
ret ti llcat s below testl y of practical t e*ult*. and eon-
lit in the scientific reports of its superior fertilizing
value
Tli j darvis Island lias beou ustd for three years,
and the certificates from actual expcrlm nt show,
tliouah less rich in phosphates, it is peculiarly adapt
ed to cotton,
The e Guanos possess three times the quantity of
phosphates co tnimd in Peruviau but less of ammo
nia, which stiinulatvs and exhausts the laud and
evaporates itself, whilst phosphates i&rmanently en-
tich the s>jH.
J. <’. Niribet, F. G. S., F. C. s., Ac., principal ol
the l humiral and Agricultural Co I lei* e, London, as
serte, from actual analysis, that one ton.of Peiuvian
Guano is worth, in manuring value, vl/..:
One ton or Guano Is worth 33)4 tone iHrni 'ardduiie.
** *• •* xl “ horse dung.
** ** 88M “ cow dung.
“ 4 * “ 2*2)4 “ pig dung.
** “ “ 14 ** mixed human.
This extraordinary fact explains why it is that
Great Britain uses i-Lhtecn millions of do lar* of tills
Guano afinual!y. lor the production of wheal, bur.oy,
turn ps, beaus. «fcc , Jtc , uoiitf of which repay for mu
uure so well us cot ou.
No country wants fertilizers so much as the Cotton
Slutes, and none can eo well a fiord lo pay for them
as they. Geoigia alone might, by the use of the Amo-
rie n Guano, make her va:t fields of worn lauds us
productive as the best, au I thereby double or tr*ble
their production of uitu.n and corn, with the same
labor. It also expels or detttoyr* worms from the
soil, an ’ causes an < arltcr growth and maturity of
both cotton and corn, as well hs a much lar.er crop.
If Pieeidetil Nisbet be correct n his eat butte of
comparative values of various manures, tin* expense
of applying barn-yard dunglo the laud will be nearly
as much as llie cost of Ameticau Guano, if it be ap
plied 3334 tons lo one of Guano, uud to of other ma
nures.
The supp’y of this Guano is uufotluna'ely very
limited, h th by the existing w-ar, which will exclude
other fertilizers, ami because tiourly every curgo of it
imported from B-Uer s island in 1861 was sent iuime
diately. al an extra frelvht, tu various port* in Europe,
and none was imported ft out Jarvis Island.
Planters wishing to use the American Guano to Im
prove their laud ar.d Increase tlieir crops, will do
well to send their orders immediately, as ouly the
stock renaming from lust year is left for sale.

Die ah Sin 1 used Jarvis Island Guano on cotton

This year (or this year s crop) I put the same laud in
cottou, wiliioul^Aiiy Guano or ma tire, uud using
about 150 lbs. net acre of tuenlx Guauo on the sumo
quality of land adjoining. The resu t was that tlm
bind Guanoed the year before with the Jarvis Dland
Guano produced a l’ar better crop than that upon
which 1 used the Plueuix this )ear. I consider lie
Jarvis Island Guano by far the best Guano er fertilizer
that 1 ever used. Jacuu Uamuton.

Dkah Silt:—I used Jarvis 1-land Guano on cotton
this season, at the rHtc of aliout 120 to 150 lbs. per
acre. Tho stand of cotton was tlm best that 1 ever
saw, and whs not iu the least damaged by lice, while
the cottou which was not guanoed was very material
ly damaged by them. Up to the filh August the cotton
which war guauoeu promised to yield ttirie times us
much as that which was not guanoed. Since that
lluie the seasons have been so very unfavorable that
uo fertilizer could have done much good ; hut Btill the
yield of the guanoed land r m n- v*
I prepared my Cotton land by breaking up with
twontera 16 Inches In length.
The furrow to receive the manure was made with a
double moula-board straight shovel anti u lti-inch
rooter furrow In the bottom of that.
Baker's Island Guano, at the rate pi* 800 poqndt* per
acre, was deposited In the furrow, and covered by
running a diamoud-ptdciteU 10-Inch scooter on each
side, afterwards bed* finished by running round with
loug turning shovels.
Cotton was cultivated entirely with sweep*. .
The yield, without the Guano, is 460 pounds per

Dear Sirs: yours making enquiry uo to the re
sult of Baker's island Gumo upon cotton, would
have been answered earlier but my crop wu* not suf
ficiently advanced for tue to speak as acflnately as 1
desired to do.
Tills is the third year that 1 have planted cotton
The two first years 1 used 11*2 pounds of Peruvian
Guano per acre; it paid me handsomely, increasing
the yield upon laud where it was applied from 300 to
400 pounds per acre
This tear I could uot get Peruvian Guauo, and bad
to use Baker's- Island I applied 150 pounds per acre
of Baker's Island Guano. 1 am satlsfie 1 that tin; > ield
this year has been equal,it not better, to anyone of the
years 1 used Peruvian.
I am very much pleased with tho Baker’s Island
Guano, and will use It hereafter In preference to Pe
ruvian Guano, for 1 think cotton manured with the
Bilker’s Island Guauo will stand tin drought mild,
better than where it i»« munuied with Peruvian Guano

IIbniiy County, Sept. 18tli, 1861
De r Sir:—I bojATusedthe American Guano from
Jarvis Islam! for lne last two years, With very satis
factory resu ts,^notwithstanding they have been very
unfavorable crop years. The most marked effect from
its use was by one of my neighbors, on some cottou
lauds, upon which he used about two hundred pounds
per acre. He told me, I think, that the land produced
two or three times as much cotton as the same quali
ty of land yvhich was uot guanoed. He ulso put some
of tala guanoed cotton land in wheat, and the effect was
very great, as there was a wonderful diflc.ei.ca be
tween that aud the la id which wa* not guanoed, thus
showing that one application of Guauo had greatly
benefltled two crops.
My impression is that the Guauo should be used
every year to insure large crops.
John H. Low.
Ameuicus, Oct. 4. 1861.
Dear Sin;—1 used Jarvis Island Guano year before
last, but the extreme drought which pr- vailed through
the seasou prevented a favorable result. Last fall 1
sowed the same land down in oats, ami the result was
tl(e fluost field of oats I ever saw. The yield was
three times as great as it would have been without
Guano. Kobt. C. Black.
Fort Valley. Oct. 2d, lnel.
Dear Sin:—1 used the Jarvis Island Guano lad
year on some very old worn out land, wliicb l put lu
cultivation for the purpose of trylug au experiment
upuu wiib Guauo. 1 also used Mapes’ Guauo on
some of the same land. The Jurvis Island Guano
turned out fully equal, if not better, than Mapes’
Guauo.
The portion of the lund which I left without Guano
produced about 300 pounds cotton per acre, and that
upon which 1 used tne Jarvis Island Guauo produced
about 600 pounds cottou per acre.
I shall use the Jarvis Island Guano in future.
Wm. J. Ali.en.
Savannah, Oct. 8th, 1861.
Dear Sir;—J purchased last Spring several tons ot
Baker’s Island Guano, of your importation, which 1
applied to one of my cotton field* at the rate of
eighty to one hundred pounds p‘*r acre. It is too
soon yet to bo able to date cefluitoly the cfiect upon
the crops. A severe drought in the early part of the
season prevailed iu tbo section where mv plantation
l* situated, Macon county, Ga.; but, notwithstanding
thi* drawback, the action of the Guauo has been most
satisfactory.
1 have been in the habit of experimenting, in A lim
ited way, with Peruvian Guauo for several yeats. and
comparing the effects of the two. I discover little, if
any, difference; while, from the known constituents ot
each, we may reasonahlv look to tbc Baker's Island
as being most durable In its effects upon succeeding
crops. 1 confidently recommend it to planters as t
valuable fertilizer. Yours very truly,
F. P. HOLCOMB.
Gripun, Sept. 20th, 1861.
Dear Sir:—Year before lu*t I u-*ed sorneJarvi
Island Guauo on corn The season was eo very dry
that no toaiiuie conld do any good. About the Id ol
Juuuni-y last I put the same land «n oats without
using any other manure The field was as fine a* l
ever saw. A part of the land, upon which there
uo Guauo, was very fur inferior to that which
guanoed.
The same field has since produced as fine a field ol
hay as 1 ever saw. R U my
Geiftin, Sept. 20th, 1861.
Dear Mir:—I used the Jarvis Island Guano year
before last on cotton aud corn. The result was per
fectly satisfactory until tho drought set in, which was
so severe a* to destroy the effect of all manure*.
I planted a piece of very old landtn corn, manuring
it with the Guano at the rate of about two hundred
pounds per acre, and the yield was fully equal to Ibe
fresh, rich laud on the creek. Last fall I put the
same field in wheat, and the yield was fully equal to
fresh land ou the creek.
This season 1 put a fluid lu cottou which was, th
year before, guanoed, planting iu the same drill, with
out any other manure, and I think the yield whs fully
equal to that of the year before. This shows two
large crops of cotton on the tfitne land, with one ap
plication of Guauo.
One of my nuiglibors used about two buudred
pounds pur acre ou cotton, with equally as good result
as my own.
Ou one field which would not have yielded over
four to five hundred pounds of cotton without man
ure, the yluld, I think, would have been fully one
thousand pounds by use of the Guano but for the ex
treme drought. B. Roberts.
Fort Valley, Oct. 2d. 1861.
Dear Siu:— I used Jarvis Islaud Guano on cotton
land the ycAr before last, iu quantities of, sav 150 lo
200 lbs. to the acre. The yield was twice as large as
upon tho unguanored land
This year f put the same land in cotton, using no
manure, and the yield or cotton will be Iully double
that on similar land which had no Gnano.
This shows that the crops were doubled for two
years by one application of ll)e Guano

hiluthe one which wu* not guanoed yielded only 850

1 ast year I could uot get the Guano in time for my
op. consequently planted without it. I found a
marked difference In the crop where the Guuno wa*
red the year before, notwithstanding thi* has been
very bud year for all fertilizer*.
Consequently, 1 have no hesitation in saying that
the American Guano will make a vast difference in
the crop* f r more than one season.
