fords an abundance of the element which forma the 

 grain, which is not the case with Peruvian ; fourthly, 

 it is in a condition for immediate use, being in the form 

 Of a fine powder, thus saving to the consumer the trou- 

 ble, difficulty and expense of its preparation. 



The Manipulated Guano, though made and tried for 

 two years with the best results, was only offered to 

 the public late in the Spring. Since then it has met 

 with unprecedented favour from the farmers of this and 

 the adjoining States. It carries with it the conviction 

 of its merit. 



Sufficient time has not elapsed to receive reports of 

 its action upon the Spring crops, we have received one 

 however from Mr. Wm. Alford, of Philadelphia, having 

 an estate near Denton, Md., a gentleman with whom 

 we have no personal acquaintance, and from whom we 

 have not solicited a report. We take the liberty to ap- 

 pend it with a resolution passed by a Guano Conven- 

 tion held in Frederick, Md.,on May, 27th ult. Mr. Al- 

 ford says. " It was reported to me two weeks ago, 

 that the corn on which your proposed (Manipulated) 

 Guano was used, was tour inches ahead of that upon 

 which same quantity of pure Peruvian was used. The 

 latter was plowed in with plaster., Yours was har- 

 rowed in by itself. Have no comparative report since."

RESOLUTION PASSED AT FREDERICK, MD. 



" Resolved, That we have listened with pleasure to 

 the statement made by Mr. Reese, in reference to his 

 combination of Phosphatic and Peruvian Guano, and 

 believe that it is based upon correct and approved prin- 

 ciples ; and judging from the sample exhibited, that it 

 possesses many advantages, not only being richer in 

 Phosphate of Lime and containing a sufficient quan- 

 tity of ammonia, but the fine state of its preparation, 

 renders it very desirable for immediate use, which to- 

 gether with the price, commends it to the trial and use 

 of farmers generally." 



A pamphlet containing a more elaborate account 

 will be forwarded, to any one addressing the under- 

 signed. 



Orders^and letters of inquiry addressed to the under- 

 signed, will meet with attention.
