 of our manured plots, 479 ; seasons 

 tell in like manner on manured plots,

 monia caused " lodging." ib. ; mixed 

 alkalies retard, superphosphate jiro- 

 motes ripening, ib. ; quality of corn in 

 different groups chiefly aflected by the 

 bulk of crop and nature of the season, 

 483 ; quality of produce in these groups, 

 484; increase from farmyard manure, 

 485 ; influence of nitrate of soda, am- 

 moniacal salts, &c., 486 ; nitrogen in 

 rape-cake, its equivalent of ammonia, 

 488 ; nitrate more rapid in action than

 caused by excess of nitrogen not coun- 

 teracted lay minerals, 492 ; Summari/ : 

 Barley needs less nitrogen than wheat, 

 493 ; mineral manures only increase
