applied by me (It is year,on n final) scale, to both
Corn and Cotton. The result exeeedi-p my expectation.
although the experiment#, for mnny
reasons, were not, and could not he conducted
with due caution ; yet I am entirely satisfied,
that the growth of weed, in both instances, the
fruit in eorn, and the mimber of bolls of cotton,
were fully double the yield in the portions mimanured,

REPORT OF ANALYSTS
OF

FOR
FRANCIS ROBINSON, ESQ.,
BALTIMORE CITY.
A SAMPLE ofthe above which was Ink en ot
IV your Mills, was found, upon analysis, to
be capable of producing of
Ammonia, - 8.31 per cent.
> And to contain of
*$one Phosphate of Lime 45.82 " "
'i'he above proportion of Ammonia and Bone
Phosphate of Lime is known to be most proper
for concentrated manures. Both theoretical
reasoning and the results of numerous practical
experiments have approved of it. An application
of 200 lbs. of this article article per acre,
?vill supply more of Bone Phosphate of Lime
than is required by any crop?thus leaving a
_ considerable surplus of this valuable nutriment
incorporated with the soil after cropping, and
will furnish a sufficient quantity of ammonia to
tp act as a nutriment and stimulant.
