By taking an average of these two analyses we would have : 



Phosphoric acid 2.55 lbs. 



Soluble potash 5.30 lbs. 



Lime 30.05 lbs. 



This would give as near an average farm ashes as we could 

 obtain. By applying one bushel to a tree or one ton to the 

 acre at a value of fifteen cents per bushel, the cost would be 

 $6.00 per acre. This would give about the following per acre: 



Phosphoric acid 50 lbs. 



Potash 106 lbs. 



Lime 600 lbs. 



Ashes could be used to advantage where the soil needs the 

 extra lime. 



EARM MANURES. 



The following table showing the composition of the diififerent 

 farm manures was taken from the United States Agricultural 

 Bulletin. The values have been changed so as to correspond 

 with the present prices of the several ingredients. 



I have constructed the following table from the above, show- 

 ing the amount to be used and value of the different farm 

 manures.
