page_text: I, DAVID BLYTH, of 46 Oxford Road, Kilburn, in the County of Middlesex,
Gentleman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to the formation of an improved class of manures and the
mode of preparing the same.
The ingredients used, and the process employed in preparing the said manures,
are as follows. I take magnetic oxide of iron, or any suitable substance or
substances which contain the same, such for example as ores, or certain waste
products from manufactures. I then, if necessary, reduce the said magnetic oxide
of iron, or other substance containing it, to a state of powder, and mix it with
sewage, sewage sludge, farm yard manure, town refuse, guano, nitrates, phosphates,
lime, peat, clay, charcoal, fish manure, or with any other natural or artificial
manure, in such proportions as the nature of the soil to be treated and the crops to
be raised therefrom may require.
The quantity of this improved manure to be used per acre of land, will contain
about 2 cwt. of the magnetic oxide above mentioned, if the crop required be what is
commonly known as a green crop.

I, DAVID BLYTH, of 46 Oxford Road, Kilburn, in the County of Middlesex,
Gentleman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the
same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement:―
My invention relates to the formation of an improved class of manures, and the
mode of preparing the same.
The ingredients used, and the process employed in preparing the said manures,
are as follows. I take magnetic oxide of iron, or any suitable substance or
substances which contain the same, such for example as ores, or certain waste
products from manufactures. I then, if necessary, reduce the said magnetic oxide
of iron, or other substance containing it, to a state of powder, and mix it with sewage
sludge, farmyard manure, town refuse, guano, nitrates, phosphates, lime, peat, clay,
charcoal, fish manure, or with any other natural or artificial manure, in such
proportions as the nature of the soil to be treated and the crops to be raised
therefrom may require.
The proportion of magnetic oxide, or substance containing it to be added, may
vary within a limit of from say 50 to 500 pounds to the ton of natural, or artificial
manure, according to the circumstances of the case.

is commonly known as a green crop.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
:-
1. The herein described process for the preparation of manure, consisting in the
combination of magnetic oxide of iron, or other suitable substance, or substances
containing the same, with sewage sludge, farmyard manure, town refuse, guano,
nitrates, phosphates, lime, peat, clay, charcoal, fish manure, or other natural or
artificial manure, substantially as herein set forth.
2. As a new article of manufacture, a manure containing magnetic oxide of iron,
and prepared in accordance with the process herein set forth.
