this I take the two composite parts thus obtained and mix them together, thereby
uniting all the ingredients of formula N° 1.
Next in like manner I take the ingredients under formula N° 2 except the dry
slaked lime, and dissolved bones, and mix them intimately, then I take the
dissolved bones and lime and mix these two together. And finally I take the two
composite parts thus obtained and mix them together, thus uniting all the
- ingredients of formula N° 2.
Having done this it only remains to thoroughly mix together the compositions
produced from the ingredients in the formulæ Nos and 2 until the whole is well
incorporated, when it is ready for use in the ordinary manner of applying manure.
The proportions stated in the two formulæ of the composition may be varied
and sal-ammoniac may be used instead of salt, the object of employing this
ingredient being to render the corrosive sublimate gradually soluble on exposure
to wet or moisture, and thus to act as the insect-destroying portion of the compo-
sition together with Hellebore and Staves-acre. The Chloride of lime, Carbolate
powder and Permanganate of Potash act as deodorizers and disinfectants. The
rest of the ingredients employed are well known fertilizers when used separately
or in other compositions, and may be varied or their proportions altered to suit the
soil or plant to which the composition is to be applied.

Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
Invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is
.
First. The use of the combined preparation for the double purpose of killing
the grubs, caterpillars, worms or other insects and for fertilizing the ground;
substantially as given in Formulæ, Nos 1 and 2, in the manner and for the purposes
hereinbefore described.
And Secondly. The mode or method of preparing Formula No. 1 and Formula
No. 2, so that when mixed they shall form the combined insect-destroyer and
fertilizer in the manner substantially.as herein before described.
