"The mechanical condition of these mixtures was all that 

 could be desired; they were fine, dry, and in every respect 

 equal to the best brands of mixed fertilizers on the market 

 in the State." 



What Was Shown by the Analyses. 



"The main objects of the analyses were to determine, 

 first, whether farmers using the ordinary tools and labor of 

 the farm could make even mixtures of the materials used, 

 and, second, whether in the cost of actual plant food home 

 mixing presented any advantages over the usual method of 

 buying manufactured fertilizers. 



"In the following table the actual composition of the 

 different mixtures is compared with the calculated composi- 

 tion of a perfect mixture in each case, the analyses of the raw 

 materials and the weights used in the formulas serving as a 

 basis for the calculation. The estimated commercial value 

 of the mixture is also compared with the estimated value of 

 an even mixture of the materials used.
