Some believed that there was enough tree sulphuric neid left in the mixture to injure the land and the crops. This is an error. To make a ton ot acid phosphate! they take 1.000 lbs. oi ground phosphate, called floats, upon ibis tin*v p ur 1 ,000 lbs. of 50 per v nt. 1 ulphuric acid This gives u 'In ton.

Save Your Manure Under Shelter. The superior value of manure saved under shelter over that iiiitwu in ?u open mi, is not supposition or guess work, but ttn actual, fully demonstrated fact ? a tact big enough to mean millions of dollars to Southern tarmere. A test of the matter h is been made by the Ohio Experiment Station, not through one ! year or two years only, but through a period oi seven years; and the average results for that period demonstrated these two i big facts: I. Increased > i* Id per acre from eight tons manure oyei yield' where no maunre was used: 'Jorn, 19.4 bushels. Wheat, 9.S8 bushels. Hay, S31 pounds. II. Increased > ieid i'roxn eight tons i of manure ?ept under cover over and above yield from same quantity of exposed lot manure: Oorn, 5.5 budiolr. Wheat, 2 bushel-. Hay, 540 pounds.
