INFLUENCE OF MANURE OX WATER-SOLUBLE LIME IX 8 SOILS. 



In the next table there have been brought together the re- 

 sults of the determinations for lime, made on the same soil ex- 

 tracts as those for potash and at the same time. 



In these cases, as with the potash, more lime has been recov-
