It seems to us tliat the mo

lout and mix the acid and meal in
I the proportions given. If > on
| propose to use a very small,
amount to- the aero, and it is uu
oak or hickory soil, you might
! safely leave out the potash. Hut
in all cases where it is intended
to apply a liberal amount it is
better to have a complete fertilizer.
Wo so adviso in this case
and would apply 500 to GOO
pounds of the formula to the acre,
and get one bale, or mor?, per
acre. It is better, as a rule, to apply
500 to 000 pounds to the acre
on ton acres than 200 to 300!
pounds to the aero on twenty
acros. The ten acres (of your
soil) so fertilized would probably
produce ten bales; while twenty j
acres of the same soil with only (
half as much fertilizer would t
probably yield no more than fifteen
bales.?Atlanta Oonstitu-'
