The Weather was exceedingly dry through April and up to the 
15th May, since which plenty of rain has fallen, and though the 
crops are late they are now looking well. Fruit will not be as 
abundant as last year, in consequence of heavy late frosts. 
Some other crops have suffered partally from the same cause. 
To Correspondents. —W., H. C. Sanford, E. P., John P. Nor¬

To a Subscriber. The person in question has been so much 
badgered lately that we are doubtful how he would receive your 
inquiries. On reflection, we think, if you are particularly in 
earnest, it would be best to address him privately at his own 
residence.

CENTRAL AFRICAN GUANO, 
The best sample in Market , and fresh from the Island of Ichaboe. 
This cargo was among the first taken freon Ichaboe, and was 
chosen from the best on the Island, and having been brought 
home in tight, iron-bound casks, Instead of the usual manner of 
transportation in bulk, its fertilizing salts were better preserved 
than they otherwise could be. The following is an analysis of 
an average sample of it, by Dr. Chilton, the most eminent ana¬ 
lytic chemist in this city. He pronounces it to contain more 
phosphate of lime, and less water, than any other sample of Afri¬ 
can Guano submitted to his inspection.

GUANO, JUST RECEIVED FROM ICHABOE. 
The cargo of ship Shakspeare, from Ichaboe, of very superior 
quality, landing at the Atlantic Dock, Brooklyn. It has been 
well ascertained, that this Guano is superior to any other, as it 
brings forward crops earlier, and is equally lasting. For general 
farming, it will increase the crops from 30 to 50 per cent.; and 
for market purposes, it will enhance its value at least 200, and 
in some instances 400 per cent. 300 lbs. is sufficient for an 
acre. For sale in lots to suit purchasers, with books directing 
how to use it, by E. K. COLLINS & CO. 
April 12th, 1845. 56 South street, N. Y. 
E. K. & Co. have also for sale the best authenticated works on 
Guano, proving beyond doubt that it enhances the value of all 
crops 30 to 75 per cent, beyond its cost, and market gardening 
much more, bringing forward vegetables from two to four weeks 
earlier. Three hundred weight is the full average quantity used 
per acre. It is said also to be a preventive against rust, mildew, 
and the fly in wheat, and rot in potatoes. 
The work on Guano is now ready for delivery. ml
