My Dear Siti: ilYaa desire jne to write t some account bf an eiDeriment witK buano made by role the psist season, with sticb sdggestionJs as might be Serviceable 10 you in conauctig. siroilat one .upon me ensuing cropi; ylM acquaintance with Ibis Article,j as yoiaafel aware, is too limit ed, to enable met to prescribe wfjlh certain ty Jhe best ; rulejsj lor; its applitjation and management ; but as far a my experience extends, t atlbrds me pleasure to furnish you with such factis as have 'come under my observation, led vine: vou to make such deduction therefrom las to you may seem reasonaoie and legitimate. i I used a small qaiitity of Guho (Peru vian)11tist spring frihe first time. To sat isfy rjijrself i)f it vjiluej I applied it alone and in combination, !o almost everv pro duction both of ibel field arid garden, and to dttlerent descriptions of soil :; and each application was! folio Wed by such marked effects as to fully meet my expectations. But Jo one instance only did ijgive that aMenUdn to thejdef ails thai; woild justify my reporting it as a well conducted ex perimeht. The piecejoriani seljbted was the central portrpnlot a field situated on the riyirridge,4f light, sandy soil, (known as isinglass or mica lands) and of nearly uniform fertility! The time of application vlas at he first bloWing of the corn, and the manner was as follows : i A fiarrdw shovel plow was ran round the cdrn as closely and deeply as practi- cable, and in this furrow track, a level table spoonful of Guano was deposited op posite! each bill.! The bands engaged in this operation were directed in depositing it to scatter it 6 or 8 inches in the furrow, but lo suffer none to fall out of it. To tfiiree rows it, was applied as above de scribed, and to three contiguous the same quantity of a mixture, composed of 3 parts irt bulk of Guanp to 1 of Plaster ; and thus alternating throughout (first guano then the' mixture) tho whole plat wak manur ed. A turn plow followed immediately, which covered it so deeply as riot to be disturbed in afteir culture. On either side of this plat a lew rows were left without manure, and the balance was cotton see ded at the rate of 20 bushels to the acre. The quantity of Guano used above, when alone,: was 55 lbs. and when in combina tion With Plaster, 31 lbs. to the acre. And a!s a "table-spdonfulP does not con vey alvery accurate idea of quantity, it may not be ,impfoper to state thi4 the ca pacity of the one used by mei was about ounce. The whole fieldf received the same ulture. I , ' In few weeks after tha application, the weather being .seasonable, the most striking effects were observable ; the corn, Where the Guano and mixture were used, assumed the. dark, green color peculiar to the best bottom ilands, and soon overtop ped any- other portion of the field. It con tinued to grow finely, and promise 'A-very- !. largely increased yield until about earing time, when it soflered so feriousiy irom drouth that I was induced tio believe that tbe beneficial effects of the jman tire, were to a great extent, if not entirely lost. To satisfy myself, however, beyond) a doubt, I took two hands into the field about the last of November and gathered a number of contiguous "roWs as treated above, weighing, (being rnore accufate tpan mea sure mem) each tow separately, and the rc.iir woo oe fnllnws ! Guano alone at a cost bfil 06 per acre (55 lbs. ai 3 cents' per lb.) as compared witn ipbuuiuouuicm portion increased the production 3 bosh els ; in combination , with Plkstcrj at a cost of $1 33 per acre, as compared above, in creased it 6 bushels per acre, j The re sult was uniform in a number of! compar isons. i The cotton seed gave better yield thantbe Guano alone; but wher compar ed witb the mixture the result Wa4 varij ant ; iii one instanco the cotten-seed had the advantage,-fin anotherfthe mtxture; the difference being so small in f aOh trial as to leave me Jin doubt toj which '1 the two a preference should be giyeQ. pben, however, the relalire cost M the Jfvo ap-; application wnencorn commandsless than mv iWrif.n stpy ' W1".c"vw",u u 55 cents per bushel 5 but when combined Z JiT it 1 ?k W,thano Wllh ch sug- eTryXrlhe ovtr 22 im nr KmoUi . ...Ui : !li ica iriai. as you and a lew others in- Wtf.m;XeiTSrar t ff ?-d"5 ""ic.e on the ensuing crop. - - -r- mm v . i4v i oighly pleased, as it obviates to some con- -11 h.

We copy from the Boston Journal the subjoined extracts from a private letter. written by a brother in California, in re ply to a letter asking his advice as to the propriety of another j)-others going out to the gold regions. It! was not designed for publication and the Journal says that its statements may be relied, upon. It is dated at Bear River on the 27th of Janu ary. i The principal object of your letter Lwas to ask my advice about brother A s coming to California. Now, I beseech you, do not think of such a thing for a mo ment. I will tell you why. In the first place A. is a married man. and has a fam ily of children to watch over and take care of ; and what could he do for them ? Another reason is, if A. comes out here it will cost him nearly $400, and he will be landed without a dime in a land Where every thing is ten times as costly as at home, with the only exception of labor; which at the present time is below par. I will give you a few facts which you can rely upon as truth. The last trip up of the Golden Gate she had on board thirteen hundred and Jifty passerigers- mostly mef chanics from New York and the State of Maine. A good portion of them immej diately started for the mines, i When they had got some hundred miles from Sacraf mento theyufldthemselves without a dime in the World. The land was full of them. They could not go to mining, and if they should they would not make enough to pay for what they eat, putting aside tools to" work with. I have had at least a hundred men offer to work for me for their board and you can hire as many as you want for from $30 to $50 per month and on that sum no man can live out here when provisions are as high as they now are. , very one i nave spoKen to anout A's coining out here says 4 say to him. stay at home by all means. Do not let bin) make a fool of himself by coming out here as thousands of others have done He is ten thousand times better off at home with seventy-five cents a day than with S3 or $4 out here. You must not believe all the stories that are written about California. Think over the list of those you know who came to California, and see how many of tbem have made anything. A great many of them get just money enough to get home and, thousands and thousands die here; because they cannot get money to take! them home. Let me tell you how I live out hereJ Since last July I have slept on the ground with merely a blanket over me, and when it was raining in torrents, a piece of board to keep from the wet, and ah old tent to keep the thickest off my head; I have lived like a nigger and worked like a slave, and you know how much of the stuff called gold I have been able to send home. If it bad not been for my pride. X should have been home long ago. No one knows what I have suffered sometimes even for food and with nothing but the blue canopy of heaven to cover me a0 night Is it at all strange, then, that I feel so about As coming out beret for if he does, he has got to go through with tbie same. Tell him he is better off with se venty five cents a day at home than he could be ont here. Yotr will see in the papers accounts of rich discoveries made out here; Some of them are true, but by testing nine out pf ten Would not pay a man a dollar a day. At the present time there are some seven ty miners round my bridge, and they do noraveriige$lprr dayand it L overtbe mines.
