NOW KNOW YE, that I, the said Peter Jensen, do hereby declare the
nature of the said Invention, and in what manner the same is to be

The object of this Invention is to improve the fertilizing qualities of
manures as well as their mechanical condition, and by the use of said
manures to enable the plants to grow more luxuriantly, and especially
to get stronger in the stem or straw, and generally to promote the
health, development, and yield of all agricultural crops.
I mix superphosphate manures with silicate of soda or silicate of
potash, or a mixture of them in a state of solution or partially dissolved,
or in a dry state, in the proportion of from about 5 to about 30 per cent.
of silicates, by weight. The manures are thereby dried off, or they may,
if required, be more completely dried off by heat.
In witness whereof, I, the said Peter Jensen, have hereunto set my
hand and seal, this Twentieth day of September, in the year of our
Lord One thousand eight hundred and seventy-three.
