what You possess, before you go TO the expense OF
foreign fertilizers, and pray remember that the excel

ingredients which you allow to escape III the form OF
GAS from your dung-heaps, which you drive OFT from
your manure to the last particle, when you Systtemal-.

the ground. Fix this with ~sulphuric acid as before
advised, or burned clay, and after using it, then use as
much guano as you can use advantageOusly, but use
it in moderation and in moist weather.
