SOLUBLE PACIFIC GUANO,
Attention, Plantuhs i
Tai.iioiton, Ga., January 22d, 1883.
We observe that Mr. Furman,
whose success in growing Cotton has
been so marked, says that his research
es show him that many elements are
needed in a complete manure for the
crop. He names Phosphoric Acid,
Ammonia, Humus, Potash, Lime,
Magnesia, Soda and Silica. Of these
he says that Silica need not be sup
plied by the manure, as it exists in
tlie soil. This leaves seven constitu
ents, which he considers necessary,
and when asked why lie did not liny
• Commercial Fertilizer, he said that if
was “because the best Commercial
Fertilizer furnished only three of the
eight elements needed, namely, Phos
phoric Acid, Ammonia and Potash."
Mr. Furman, lias, we think, been led
astray by the mode of valuing fertiliz
ers which lias been adopted by the
State of Georgia, as well afl other
States in this country. We agree with
him that ot) er elements besides the
three last named are required ill a
perfect manure, but these three are 30
much more important than the others
that chemists have adopted tiieir per
centage as a measure of the value of
the manure. Hence these elements
have come to lie commonly regarded
as all that are of value.
To show conclusively that the PA
CIFIC GUANO COMPANY, for
whose “SOLUBLE PACIFIC
GUANO" we are Agents,
have realized that something more
was needed than merely to supply the
constituents demanded by the chem
ists, we subjoin a complete analysis of
their Fertilizer.

This analysis shows that Soluble
Pacific Guano contains all the constit
uents 11 .med by Mr. Furman except
Humus, and that is the substance
which he aims to supply by m iking
his compost consist of nearly one half
its entire weight of “muck, stable ma
nure or rich top earth.” (Humus is
the name given to the brown or black
substance resulting from the decompo
sition of vegetablematter, and it is
present in stable manure, in muck, am!
in soil ill which the roots of plants
have decayed, or upon the surface of
which leaves and grasses have wither
ed and died.) We do not deny that
the addition of stable manure, muck
or rich earth to any soil will increase
its fertility, because these substances
contain, though in small percentage
the elements needed for plant growth.
We do not, however, include Humus
among these elements, for its value as
plant food is more than problematical.
Baron Von Liebig, perhaps the great
est authority on agricultural
chemistry who ever lived,
tho man whom more than
all others agriculturists should hon
or, totally denies that Humus pos
sesses any nutritive properties
That its mechanical effect on the
soil is good there is no doubt, blit
that a groat effect can result from
Ihe amount of Hrrnns contained in
fifty bushels of top earth spread o
ver an acre of ground is exceeding
ly doubt!id. Such an application
would probably not amount to
more than one quarter to one half
a cubic inch of Humus lo a square
foot of land. It can be readily seen
that the mechanical effect ol such
an application cannot be great. A
quaniiy of Humns many times
greater.faud combined, too, with
Ammonia,) would be furnished to
each square foot of land by the de
cay cf the roots of a vigorous
growth of cotton. We fail to see
any new discovery that has been
made by Mr Furman. He simply
supplies to his land by his formula
(containing Acid Phosphate and
Kaioii) and by cotton seed, the con
stituents of a good fertilizer, such,
as SOLUBLE PACIFC GUANO,
The additou of Ih3 earth is good,
uud we have always adviaeufaimere
to mix earth with Gaano t short
time before applying it to tlio Boil,
as it iixeselements which might oth
erwise be volatile. The saving of
stable manure by planters should of
course be encouraged. All success
ful farmers in the Nor h practice it,
and use the manure iu conjunction
with Commercial Fertilizers. Ex
arnples of intensive farming can be
found in Massachusetts, whero it is
not unusual to apply S2OO worth, or
more, of stable manure and fcrtil
'zer to an acre, and profit is found
in such application, Mr Furman
applied last year to each acre an a
niounl of compost which he figures
as costiug him S2O. In such calcu
lations 110 reekous 1,500 pounds of
muck, stable manure, or rich earth,
as costing for transportation only
$2, and Liu allows uothiug for the la.
borroquiied in compounding, and
nothing for first cost (every planter
may not have it at his door). Ad.
ding a fair amount to coyer those
items would increase the cost say
five dollars, making twenty-five dol
-lus per acre, or the value of more
than one half a ton( 1,000 pounds)
of SOLUBLE PACIFIC GUANO.
This is a quucity five cr six t ones
greater than planters usually apply,
aud it is rot extraordinary that it
should produce a heavy crop, sup.
plementcd as it was by much deep,
er cultivation than is commonly giv
en. We do rot criiercise Mr Ftti.
man's work oxcopt its claim of orig
inality. There is nothing in his
formular (save Humus before nam
ed). which the PACIFIC GUANO
COMPANY have not li.rnislied tor
years to iho planter, and doubJess
the reason of Mr Furman's real slic
es S.s is duo to his having produced
i‘ii artic'e so nearly ) 'te SOLUBLE
PACIFIC GUANO.

Carp Ponds.
For most ponds which may be
made '1 th : s state, no fish is so wet'
suited as the European ca p. [t
bears the same re'aiion to the native
fishes that a hog do_‘s to our wild ani
mr’sor the hen to om na.ive gamtbi.ds.
It is not so handsome or so delicate as
the na.ive fishes.
There is no excitement in its cap
ture, but it furnishes food fora hungry
world. The carp much resembles the
buffalo fish in size and form ; it has the
same thick head, large scales and
toothless mouth. Its flesh is, howev
er, much finer in quality, although by
no means equal to that of white fish
or brook trout. The carp will thrive
in almost any water. It feeds on veg
etable substance, frog spittle, water
weeds, bread crumbs, bran, almost
anything that a pig or chicken will eat.
It will lake the hook sometimes, if
imbedded in a bread ernmb, but so
will a hen under similar circumstan
ces. Its growth is very prolific. It
is said to devour its own spawn when
food is scarce, but, unlike the carniv
erous fishes, it rarely eats its own young-
The ideal carp pond is clear, warm,
weedy, deep in the middle, shallow
along the edges and free from other
fishes. A pond that can be drained
at will is convenient where fish can
then he selected and the smaller ones
left. If the fish are caught with a
sein man) small one-, are Injured.
Mr. D. Eckstein, American Consul
at Amsterdam, calls the attention of
the American public to the fact that
an Iniernation Exhibition is to be held
at Amsterdam durng the term extend
ing from May to October, 1883. Up
to the present tme only about four
hundred and forty square feet space
have been secured by six American
firms. There seems to be a conflict
of opinion as to the probable success
of the exhibiiion among the Dutch
themselves. Still Consul Eckstein
thinks it would be worth the while of
Americans to make a test of suitabili
ty of American goods for the Dutch
market by putting them m the view of
Hollanders for a while.
It is said that the French aro bet
ter protected against food adulter
ation than any oilier people on
earth. They don’t have to deal,
perhaps, wiili the same degree of
skill in knavery that characto-izes
the adulteration in this country.
What has the Washington Museum
to show in the way of a relic, to com
pare with N-buchadnezzar’s doorstep
—said to be possessed by the British
Musenm ? The authenticated record
of some gift that Grant has refused
would answer the purpose.
