Extract of a luetter from Samuel Ridout.

 bie, by far, to the best Peruvian Guano used alone. 



I shall (if nothiiiw- happen) get three tons for my 

 wheat, this fall. 1 ha\ e only about 40 to 50 acres of 

 arable land, and tliis of the ])oorest quality, but take 

 gre;it })leasure in its culture, and aui endeavoring to 

 injprove ir, as fast as the prtmts Irom it will allow. 1 

 try to give back nearly all that it yields- 

 Be pleased to reserve the quaniit}' sjiecified for me, 

 and forward it about the middle of August; however, 

 the captain of tiie vessel will apprise you of the tiirie. 



A numl)er of my neighbors will ap[)ly to you for it 

 in the tall, i forgot to njention that a small quantity 

 was used on some early cabbage, wiih excellent re- 

 sults.
