NATURAL FERTILIZERS— GUANO 69 



"Guano is the strongest fertilizer known to agri- 

 culture. It is scattered broadcast over the field 

 when vegetation is starting, and for the best results 

 a rather damp time is chosen for this work in order 

 that the moisture may convey to the roots of the 

 plants, by gradual infiltration, the soluble constit- 

 uents of the fertilizer. The action of guano on vege- 

 tation is of the promptest, most powerful sort. ' '
