"The Maine Mixture costs but 20 cents a pound; is concentrated in- 

 stead of diluted, is all drug and not mostly feed stuff, and, hence, far 

 stronger. It is probably at least as efficient as, and certainly far 

 cheaper than, the generality of condimental feeds. The Maine Station 

 suggests : Pulverized gentian, one pound ; pulverized ginger, one- 

 quarter pound; pulverized saltpeter, one-quarter pound; pulverized 

 iron sulphate (copperas) one quarter pound. Mix; feed tablespoonful 

 in feed once daily for ten days; omit three days; feed as above for ten 

 days more." — From Bulletin No. 16Jf, Vermont Experiment Station.
