THAYER'S PATENT BRIDGE.
ANEW and valuable trestle Bridge has been patented
by Mr. G. W. Thayer, of Massachusetts, which will be
found to be an important invention. The amount of strength
attained by the structure is spoken of as being wonderful.
The inventor feels confident that no weight which could be
placed upon it, could break it down. This consideration,
taken together with the economy with which it maybe built,
will render it worthy the attention ofall who are interested
iii the f ubject. This bridge is adapted peculiarly to Rail
roads as well as county roads, as it can be made of any re
ciuired span, so as not to obstruct the navigation of streams
when raits or boats mignt De aesireu to pass, ana cau uiso
be built at a very moderate expense.
Isaac Wells, Wilmington, N. C.,is Agent for this State,
as also for South Carolina and Virginia, and will attend to
all communications upon the subject addressed to him, post

No comment of mine is at all necessary here, and I
shall dismiss this part of the subject with a single re
mark from one, than whom there is no higheraulhoii
ty in this department "of science : "The composition
of guano points how admirably it is fitted for manure ;
for not only does it contain ammoniacal salts in abun
dance, but also those inorganic constituents which are
indisjiensible for the development of plants" J com
menced the use of guano in ihe spring of 1845, and in
the year of 1846 I used a half ton, experimented with
il in a great variety of compounds, and in ihe various
crops cultivated' in middle Alabama. There is no na
tural manure to be compared to guano the conveni
ence and f;iriiiiy by which it may he applied to vege
tationwith its highly concentrated condition in am
moniacal salts, amounting to over 30 per rent with
the more valuable, (if possible,) phosphates- amount
ing to 22 per cent. and then the additional fsc?, of no
small importance to the gardener especially, that it
contains no noxious seed, either grass or weeds, ren
der its use to the judicious and industiious gardener,
in the vicinage of a good market, but ano her name for
gold itself. To the farmer and planter it is equally
valuable, ami "when we shall be able to obtain it in
Mobile at from S45 to $50 per ton, we shall find tio
manure equal to it, upon the score even of economy,
except perhaps, the compost of ihe stock-yard., that
may be conveniently prepared at home by every plan
ter. Bv :i judicious system of rotation of crops and prop
er shifts, after grading, ditching and then horizontal-"'
ing your rows, with the application of 200 lbs. of
guano per acre, spread broadcast for .mall grain crops,
and about 250 lbs for hill or drill crops, in addition to
the pay of good crops, in a very few years any of our
bndli managed laud maybe restored toils original fer
tility, lis proper application i simple, convenient
and expeditious, and the true philosophy, doubtless,
of its n ost economical use, consists in feeding the
plant directly, rather than in manuring the land
For garden vegetables, either f r profit or for the
pleasure of enjoying them lo perfection, a large quanti
ty of guano will be requhed per ace ; but not, how
ever, at the first dressing. In the preparation of your
gar !en beds or squares put on, say in the proportion
of 200 lbs. per acre, broadcast, and spade and j lough
up the land thoroughly and deep ; and then line your
sred in drills. Your plants beinir up, you can treat
them just as you would a pig, that you intended to '
grow to a given size in a given length of time mf
and icatcr everyday. When you stir the ground about
the plants, which should be done frequently, sprinkle
enough of line pulverized guano on the surface near
the plants to give the ground a yellowish tinge, then
gently hoe oi rake it into the soil. In addition to this,
you may every evening.oras often as you wish, sprin
kle the plants with a solution of of guano, from a "Wa
tering pot ; make the solution by dissolving G to 8
ounces of guano in three gallons of wa'er, well stirred
up. The only danger is an over supply at a time.
I have used guano compounded and alone on all va
rieties of field crops, and I am satisfied as the expe
rience of any planter using it will soon teach him -that
it will not pay to spend lime compounding guano
with any other article. Lime, ashes and all wet subi
stances are a positive injury, as they liberate its valuable
gases; nntl its compost with dry substances, such as
muck, light mould, &c, augment the labor ot applying
it to the land without any corresponding remunera
tion. I am not to be understood here as depreciating
the value of lime, ashes, muck, or anv of this class of
valuab'e fertilizers by no means. I know their val
ue too well; but I do state-emphatically, that the time
consumed in preparing such compost is money lost,
for reasons at once obvious and plain. As stated
above, two hundred pounds of guano, spread broad
cast upon land, per acre, ami well ploughed in and the
grain then sow I, either wheat, oats, or rye, audi ihu
land harrowed smoothly and p-opcrly,viII reward the
piins taking of the industrious farmer with a large and
luxuriant crop. Land thus prepared will produce a
heavy crop of Indian com also, though I prefer ap
plying it to corn after the corn has come up, afp;r the
following simple an I expeditious method ; when the
corn has grown to three or four blades; "iun around
tolerably close with a scooter plough, which is follow
ed by a boy with a bucket of guano and a teaspoon,
who will drop a spoonfull of guano opposite eacii hiif
in the scooter furrow. This gives two tea spoonful!
guano at each hill, or about two hundred and fifty
pounds per acre. Te guano thus deposited should
be immediately covered, which is done by the next
furrow in ploughing out the row. Forty to fifty buh
els may be grown in this way on very ordinary land,
I use guano on my cotton in the same way, after the
cotton is up and ready for ploughing the first time, as
regulate my stand of cotton at the time of planting
by a compass or dibble, in hills on the bed, at jexact dis"
lances of twenty-four.thirty lo thirty-six inches, accord
ing to the improved condition of the land. There is an
other mode of using guane on cotton seed that possess
es much merit, which is this: after welting and rub
bing the seed until separated, which they do very read
ily, then roll them in dry -pulverised guano, and plant
immediately; a process immeasurably superior to roll,
ing the see l in plaster, lime, or ashes, each of which, '
however, is beneficial.
I might add much more of experience in the use of
this article, which would, perhaps, unnecessarily pro
tract this communication. I simply remark in the
close, thr,t a very short experience in the useof guano
as a fertilizer, will indoctrinate any gentleman into the
successful use and proper application of this invalua- "
ble manure. ; ':
I am gratified to know that its direct importation in
to Mobile, has already enabled Alabama planters anl
gardeners to supply themselves wih the genuine Pe
ruvian guano, at the comparatively low price of $58
per ton short ; and I doubt not hut those energetic
gentlemen, p. B. l'omeroy& Co.. 42 Commerce street,
who ere the pioneers in this praiseworthy enterprise,
will be able in a few years to furnish it as cheap in
Mobile as it can be had in New Yoik. These geijr
