It is important that the small portions of 

 earth be fertilized in the same proportion as is 

 here given for the field, so to 7| pounds of dry, 

 finely pulverized soil, add one ounce of any one 

 of these fertilizers. Mix very thoroughly and 

 pass it through a sieve at least twice. This is 

 still much too strong for use, so take one ounce 

 of this fertiUzed soil and add it to five pounds 

 more of soil, mixing and sifting as before. Then 

 you have soil and fertilizer mixed at the rate of 

 200 pounds to the acre. For testing larger ap- 

 plications, make your first mixture with propor- 

 tionally larger quantity of fertilizer. 



For mixing lime with soil, take only 11§ ounces
