SOUTHERN PLANTER.— ADVERTISING SHEET. 



The above cut is a representation of J, HAW'S Pecker Saw Mill. 



It is simple in its construction, very durable ; and is well ada|)ted for j)]antfition sawingr- Tt will saw 

 with from 4 to 6 horse-power from 1,000 to 1,500 feet per day, if properly managed. The carriage is 24 feet 

 long, and will cut logs ihat will square to 21 inches, and cuts all kinds of timber. 'I'he timber is inserted 

 in the oblong plate, and can be renewed when worn out. 



[ have given the Mill a fair trial, and warrant the perfonnjince as above stated. The price of the Mill is 

 $265, with extra |>ini()ns, screw-wrench, cant-hooks, set-punch, and one extra set of teeth. Any good thresh- 

 er horse-power will answer to drive it. I also make Threshing Machines from 4 to 12 horse power, and 

 Threslieis to thresli and clean Wheat at the same operation, for which L can give satisfactory references to 

 the largest larniers on the Pamutikey Kiver. Those wishing fiirtlier information, will address

THE RICHEST PHOSPHATIC GUANO IMPORTED. 



Your attention is respectftdly invited to the annexed Analysis and Reports on the Guano ofifered by me, 

 and espec ally to the fact therein shown, that it contains in a >;iven bulk a greater amount of Phosphates 

 tlian is found in any other uianiire, natural or artificial, yet offered to the f)ublic. Phosphoric acid is imw 

 a<ln)itte(l !)y the best agricultural authorities to be the one thing above all others necessary to be returned 

 t<» the soil, to enable it to produce an unfiilingly good crop without permanently impairing its general fertili- 

 ty ; in this gimiio we have it presented in the form best adapted for such a purpose. 



As 1 have oilv a limited qiiantifv of this Guano tuv sale here this season, I am anxious to have some 

 of it tried in every di-trtct, and aUo that such as try ir, may favor me tliroiigh my Agents, with the enrlie.-.:t 

 information, as to how far it has ))racticcilly borne out the anticipations of those who have scientifically ex- 

 amined its constitiienis, with a view to enable me, and district Ag* nts to make early arrangenients for an ade- 

 quate supply (or tiie ibllowing year Owing to the rapidly diminisiiins su|)ply of Guano from the Chincha 

 Islands, it.> yeaily advancing price, and the exhaustive effects produced l»y its too tree application to the laiul, 

 from its possessing too much Anunonia, in proportion to its Phosi)hates, Navassa Ciuano excels it in practical 

 use, and especially to the farnipr as permanently improviug to the land, which might yearly receive fronj the 

 application of INAVAjjSA GUANO, more Phosphates than the crop would deprive it of. 



All local Merchants and Dealers are required to give a guarantee on purchasing that thev will sell it to 

 consumers genuine, as received. Very respectfullv, WlVJ. F. MURDOCK,

 Report of Jnalysis of '• Navassa Guano'' — Made for E. K. COOPER. 

 The sample was found upon Analysis to be composed as follows — 



Bone Phosphate of Lime. - - - - 81.73 



Containing of Phosphoric Acid, - - 38.82 



Fluoride of Calcium, • - - 2 .''>4 



Carbonate of Lime, - . . . 5 35 



Per Oxide of Iron and Some Alumna, - - - 3.00 



Water, &c. . - . . . 4 38 



100. 



The extraordinarily high per centage of Phosphate of Litne above stated, recommends this article at <mce 

 as a superior Phosphatic manure, especially at the present time when the want of the better qualities of Phos- 

 phatic Guanos is most seriously felt. The presence of Fluoride of Calcium is of no slight imptnlance. This 

 substance serves as a direct nutriment to plants and, subsequently, enters the composition of the Bones and 

 Teeth of Animals. ' CHAS. BICKELL. Vh, I).
