A' d<• sff H.\-LL£T <x wv , 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. COMPLETE ANALYSIS OF SOLU BLE PACIFIC GUANO, Moisture 14.00 per cent. Phosphoric Acid 12.03 “ Equivalent lo Available Bone phosphate of Lime 19.5 1 “ Total Bone Phosphate of Lime 26.26 “ Nitrates, and animal and organic matter. .20.55 “ Yielding of potential Ammonia ....’. • 3 ,05. “ Potash, (actual) 2.10 “ Lime 15.1 8 “ Land and Silica...... 4.97 “ Magnesia 1.91 “ Soda 5.16 “ Iron and Alumina.... 1.82 “ Chlorine 2.40 “ Water of combination and chemical reagents used in manufacture. 19.88 " 100.00 Relative Commercial value, 842.07. 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.

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 ?
