which place another layer of meat and so con
tinue until the cask is full. Finish with a layer
of salt, and cover all over with a good rock, or
other weight, to hold the meat under the brine.
On this pour just enough cold water to cover
the meat. Do not be afraid of wasting salt, as
that undissolved will do to use another season
for the same purpose . While using the meat,
be particular to have the weight on as it the
meat is allowed to float it will rust, and give the j
rest a disagreeable taste. Let the barrel in a
dry well or cool cellar. Meat thus kept, is nev
er troubled with insects or rats.
To Pickk Beef, by Measure. —Take four quarts j
water, three pints salt, half a table spoonful of
saltpetre, a pound of brown sugar or a pint of
molasses. Mix it well and pour on your meat.
Take care that is well covered, and keep it press
ed down with a weight. Add a little more su- •
gar, and the a\>ove is excellent for tongues and j
dried beef. As fine dried beef can be made at
home as is brought from the North. His know j
it. Try it and see.

MANIPULATED GUANO.
REPORT of Analysis of Robinson's Manipulated Gua
no, for Francis Robinson. Esq., Baltimore, Md.
A sample of the above, which was taken at your Mills,
was found, upon Analysis, to be capable of producing of
Ammonia, 9.81 po r cent.
And to contain of
Bone Phosphate of Liine 45.92 per cent.
The above proportion of Ammonia and Bone Phos
phate of Lime is known to be most proper for Concen
trated Manures. Both theoretical reasoning, and the re
sults of numerous practical experiments have approved
of it An application of 200 pounds of this article per
acre, will supply more of Bone Phosphate of Lime than
is required for any crop—thus leaving a considerable
surplus of this valuable nutriment incorporated with the
soil aftercropping, and will furnish a sufficient quantity
of Ammonia to act as nutriment and stimulant.

KEPOET OX -MANIPULATED GUANO FOK FRANCIS ROBINSON.
The sample Analyzed was taken by myself from the
bags in the mill where the Guano was manipulated. It
contained of
Ammonia, 5.24 p o r cent.
Phosphoric Acid, 2.9 S percent.
Equivalent to
Bone Phosphate of Lime, 47.59 percent.
It is therefore and'cxcellent manipulated Guano, con
taining enough Ammonia to produce a rapid anil vigor

RHODES’ SUPER-PHOSPHATE 1
TJLANTERS seeking Manures, will recollect that
A Rhodes’ Sufee-piiosfhate is the only Manure the
late eminent Analytical Chemist. Prof. Biekell, of Mary
land pronounced Standard! and which has been con
firmed by every section into which this Manure has been
introduced.
This Manure is sold under a legal guarantee of Purity
and Freedom from all Adulteration, from the eminent
Manufacturing Chemists. Messrs. Potts A Klett. under
whoso personal supervision Rhodes’ Supe-Phospkate is
manufactured. This Manure has been used in South
Carolina for several years past, with great success, in the
culture of Cotton and Corn, and is now thoroughly es
tablished for these important staples. Do not let the sea
son pass without the e\]-eriment.
Read the annexed letters from gentlemen who have
tried it the past season.
J. A. ANSLEY A CO,
No. 800 Broad St, Augusta, Ga.
Athens, Ga, Nov. 22,1959.
Dear Sir: Rhodes' Super-phosphate has been applied
I by me this year, on a small scale, to both Corn anti Cot
ton. The result exceeded my expectation, althougn
the experiments, for many reasons, were not, and could
not be conducted with due caution ; yet I am entirely
satisfied that the growth of weed, is both instances, and
the fruit in corn and in the number of lolls of Cot
ton, were fully double the yield in the.portions unma
nured, and this when only a tablespoonful of the Super-
Phosphate was applied as a top-dressing to each hill of
Corn, and a tea-sj>oonful to each stalk of Cotton—and the
last as late in the season as the ISth of July. Some of
the Weed grew to nine feet high, with six feet branches,
covered with bolls, while the unmanured was not half so
good. It is my intention next year to test it more fully.
Yery respectfully.
Your most ob't serv't
(Signed), M. C. M. HAMMOND.
Union Point, (O. R. R.) Nov. 29,1559.
Messrs. J. A. Ansley A Co —Gents : 1 bought a ton of
Rhodes’ Super-Phosphate in Baltimore, la-4 Spring,
through Mr. 11. D. Leltncr, of Berzelia, to test its value
as a Manure. I put about 125 pounds on an acre of Cot
ton, in the drill, on land that would not make over 75 to
100 pounds of Seed Cotton per acre, without manure.—
The result is entirely satisfactory. I have made at least
45i) to 500 pounds to’the aere on this very poor land. I
expect to purchase from 5 to 8 tons for my spring crop.
My overseer wishes me to put his name to’this also.

AMMOXIATED BONE SUPERPHOSPHATE OF
LIME.
THE above Fertilizer having been used largely in
Georgia for past two seasons, has now preference
over Peruvian Guano, or any other Fertilizer now in
market, for the following reasons:
It is cheaper.
It has no unpleasant smell.
It will not destroy seed by contact.
It is fine powder, "ready for application.
It tvill resist drought.
It will prevent or lessen rust.
It will cause earlier maturity.
It is a permanent manure, enriching the Soil.
It is guaranteed to be of uniform quality.
We subjoin an extract front a letter of A. L. Alexan
der,Esq., of Wilkes Co.:
Washington, 12th Nov., 1959.
“1 like the result of my experiment with ‘Hoyt,’ and
my trial acres have attracted much attention. The Corn
has been gathered, and the ratio of manured to unma
nuretl is as 25 to 11, or 100 to 44. In a favorable season,
it would have been greater. Up to date, the Cotton stantls
as 518 to 127. bsing rather over 4to 1. When the Cot
ton is all in, 1 think it will be about 700 to 200.
Respectfully, Yours,
A. L. Alexander.

NOTICE TO FARMERS & PLANTERS.
- r pHF.RE is great demand for a strong anil permanent
1 “ Fertilizer," and experience of late years has prov-
I en the Inefficiency o$ Imported manure’s for securing
crops and renovating soils. To meet the wants of the
times, and give to exhausted lands of the Atlantic anil
G .'f countries, a superior fertilizer at moderate cost,
we have pleasure in calling attention to the valuable
compound made at the Highlands, Now Jersey, and en
titled the ' NATIONAL FERTILIZER." suited to
staples ol' every section.
it is composed of fresh bones, finely ground, and thor
ougly dissolved by Sulphuric Acid, thus aftordiifi' food in
ready form for assimilation to plant. With these as con
stituting the basis for Phosphate of Lime, are then also
commingled large proportions of Marine Fish, King
Crabs, ai;d othercrusfcicea, yielding the properties Am
mor io—as deposited by bird’s of the Guano Islands. To
prevent escape of this volatile element, a modicum of
Green Shell Marl is used. By virtue of this the ammonia
resulting from decomposed fish, is at once fixed and laid
dormant, ti” by natural process it is set free, and grad
ually absorbed by vegetation as it progresses. With
three important essentials. Potash and Soda, as combined
with sciuble Silica, are chemically manipulated, and the
entire mass is ultimately made fine. drv. and immediate
ly applicable to soil. The “National Fertilizer,'’ as
shown in Circulars, is so compounded by change of these
and other valued ingredients, as to bo suited in diversi
ties to any particular staple of the United States. The
Company's Works and Fisheries are very extensive, and
though their enterprise is but recently started they have
1 a large and growing trade. They manufacture one Fer
tilizer for the Cereal Grains. Cotton. Vegetables, Ac., and
another specifically for Tobacco, and another fur Sugar
Cane; thus giving to plants those aliments peculiarly
adapted to them, and which, by rotation of crops, they
are known to extract constantly from the land. Analy
ses and certificates establish the results of this manure.
Itis 80 per cent less cost per ton than Peruvian Guano,
but requires heavier application as a sure and lasting ren
ovator. The National Fertilizer fulfils the two-fold ob
ject of being stimulant to growth, and tnvigorator to
soil.
Mode of use: broadcast sowing—drilling—or deposit
ing in hills. It possesses but half the moisture of Guano,
and suffers less deterioration by carriage.
Price S4O per Ton. of 2000 lbs, but up in strong bags
of 200 pounds each, or in new barrels, all stamped with
Company's brand, and shipped to any order in the United
States. Agents established in all the cities. A fair trial
with discreet and liberal attention, is solicited.
