1.-The 9O4 per cent. Of anhydrous sulphuric
acid. nearly one.ffth OF the whole mixture in its
dilute form as found to be most effective tor az.
ricuItural purposes, is controlling evidence OF
the solubility and the activity of the Guano. Inc
percentage Of this important constituent must, IN
great measure, determine the value OF all terti-
lizers when as in your case it is only used to de-
compose the phosphate of lime, and not added as
salt cake.
al agree with Prof Hasford, that beyond the
analysis of fertilizer, the best evidence OF us
vau is the continued use of il in sections, and by
the same farmers through number of years
This should be gratifying to you to know that
from year to year you have succeeded by close
scrutiny of your works. and judicious selection OF
material, after long experience to have oeen
