liquid to the first, second and third articles.
When mixed add fourth article
The above was prepared by Liebig as an ar
titicial guano, which every farmer can mama
facture himself. The farmer, if he wants
good fertilizers, must make them himself In
following the above receipt he must be care
full not to change the ingredients, as they
have important chemical effects upon each
other. Nothing, for instance, will take the
place of muck, on account of its carbolic acid
being powerful solvent. The great trouble
about people preparing these things is, that
they do not adhere strictly to the receipt,
thinking either that they know more than
Liebig, OF that small departure makes no
difference. All these ingredients are easily
obtained. Any farmer who makes this him
self will save upon the cost of ton, the cost
OF ton of phosphate, and-have twice the val
ue OF the phosphate for his money.
The cost of Liebig's preparation is estimat-
ed to amount to from SIS to $40, and it will
