 These substances can be easily ob.

 greatest care is tO secure q uniform mixture. which can be obtained by
 vigorously mixing the various inge-
 dents. Another way of formulating
 the quantities of fertilizers to be given
 a crop is suggested by Heidens rule as applicable for maturing potatoes either
 on heavy or light land. For each pound of nitrogen applied to the land from three to five pounds of phosphoric acid should be given, according as mere or less time has elapsed since the land was dressed with dung. The amount of nitrogen to be applied to an acre may rdnge from twelve to twenty | HNt iHtHIttiss diitt ttttkk bt HtltAlihlilt acid from sixty-hve to seyenty-fYe pounds Potash has a wider range. It
 should be understood that the fore
 going mixtures published last week and this can do no more than indi- cate the amounts of the more import ant kinds of plant foods contained in the mixtures enumerated. It must
 also be remembered that artificial fer tiliZers are often applied with refer ence to but single crop, while 1t is commonly expected that the influence of dressing of farmyard manure shall be felt for several years. l have in the mixtures frequently used wood ashes Wood ashes are Il most excellent fertilizers. They contain considerable potash, and from one to four per cent. of phosphoric acid, be- sides other ingredients useful to plants. The ieached ashes are no- where near as valuable as the un- ieached, They consist mostly of car bonate of lime. all the valuable ingre- dients having been washed out. Let me strongly advise all of you who have
 any wood ashes tO keep them dry before using. On our farm all the old stumpS are burned and the ashes carted away They will repay the labor involved. for it saves money. Next week the manufacture of com posts will be more fully written up.
