 Two hundred and Seventy five are best river low

 well watered with lumber sufficient for all plantation 

 uses.

 tofore been an incumbrance on the land, I can now 

 make a perfect title.

 see the land before the day of sale. I deem farrher 

 description unnecessary. The terms will be one third

 the land or by good personal security.

Reese's " Manipulated Guano." 



Containing — Ammonia, 8 per cent. 



Phosphate of Lime, 45 to 50 per cent. 

 This guano is a thorough and intimate combination 

 of the best Peruvian, Columbian and Mexican guanos, 

 in such a manner as cannot be accomplished by any 

 means at the command of the consumer. The diffi- 

 culty of preparing Peruvian guano for i.se is a source 

 of no little annoyance to the farmer, and when the best 

 is done.it is but imperfectly prepared. The same re- 

 marks apply to Mexican guano. When it is remem- 

 bered that the best part of the Peruvian guano is in 

 the lumps, and that its use in particles as large as a 

 pea is a comparative loss, the importance of its being 

 uniformly pulverised becomes apparent. Even if the 

 consumer could reduce his guano sufficiently fine, a 

 uniform combination could not be affected. The ad* 

 vantages resulting from our manipulation, over any 

 mixture that can be made, are first, that it is uniform. 

 Secondly — That it is minute and thorough, every par- 

 ticle of the guanos being brought into the closest pos- 

 sible contact, thus securing mutual chemical action 

 which cannot otherwise be had. Thirdly— It is free 

 from lumps, thus yielding the full effect of every par- 

 ticle and saving the trouble and expense of its pn pa- 

 ration. The superiority of our guano not only over 

 any ordinary mixture, but over Peruvian guano, is 

 fully sustained by the voluntary testimony of" the best 

 farmers of this and adjoining States. We have in our 

 office numerous manuscript letters which we will 

 cheerfully exhibit, all testifying to its superiority, 

 without a single exception. Its money v ilue is from 

 $15 to $20 more than any phosphate or superphos- 

 phate known. The effects of this article are no longer 

 an experiment, it has been submitted to the test of de- 

 monstration, and it is confidently offered to the agri- 

 cultural public upon its own merits. It may be had 

 from the following agents — Fredericksburg, A. K. 

 Phillips & Co.; Richmond, E. T. Winston & Co.;
