This 500 Jbs. of seed cotton, at ordinary rates, would be wWth $12 56; from which, deducting 3 50; the c"W of the manure, leaves a clear profit of $5pacre arising from the use of the Guano. To thithe value of the cotton, seed should be added, which, properly applied, will insure an abundant corn crop tho next year, s Further rro6t, afo might be secured, by making the totten rows five feet wide, thus giving room for tbe weed to spread, and io materially dimiimh- tm'glhe labor. of working the crop.
