The soluble part, is the only useful part, and they should, therefore, be used shal low. The food in them being ready for immediate use, if placed all in the hill or drill, will give an unnatural stimulus to the young plants. As this kind of plant food is always cost Tv. the farmer should get the great est possible good from the first crop. This he can not do if only a few of the p’ant roots reac We have some soils in which very little of either of the four needed elements is soluble. Such soils need a complete ma nure.
