The fei'tilizing material left after feeding a ton of English hay is 

 worth, as compared with the price of commercial fertilizers, five 

 dollars and eighty-six cents. So j'ou will see that when you sell a 

 ton of English hay from your farm 3'ou sell approximately* six dollars 

 worth of fertilizing material, and if 3"0u would go out and purchase 

 commercial fertilizers to replace it 3'ou must pay that amount for it. 

 That is another fact that we should not lose sight of. 



Here are other materials figured out in the same wa^'. Clover 

 hay, being richer in nitrogen, and also in phosphoi'ic acid and potash, 

 the manure from feeding a ton of it is more vahial)le than that from 

 a ton of English hay, and is worth seven dollars and sixty cents. 

 You will draw a practical lesson from that. A ton of clover hay is 

 worth more to feed than a ton of P^nglish hay, and then, after you 

 have fed it, vou have seven dollars and sixty cents worth of fertiliz- 

 ing material left on the farm, whereas, in English hay you have only 

 five dollars and eighty-six cents worth. Yet the market will pay
