OF potash containing so per cent pot
ash. Steamed bone-meal is q valua-
bic ingredient on account of the good
effects from its use on the clover crop.

tilizers per acre to get the greatest
net returns.
The following mixture will give ex-
cellent results for wheat. The mate.
rails are generally put up in 125-lb.
sacks. and If all the materials are in
125-lb. sacks they may be mixed as
follows:
sacks of ID per cent acid phos-
phate, S75 lbs.
sacks of steamed bone-meal, TAO lbs.
] sack of muriate of potash, 1875 lbs.
sacks of nitrate of soda, $50 lbs.
This mixture Analyses about 3-15-3,

materials:
IL sacks Of a is per cent acid phos-
plate. 1900 lbs
~ sacks Of muriate of potash, 1879
lbs
21s sacks of nitrate OF soda, 9121z lbs.
