5 cwt. of this manure. This is done in Table XVI., from 

 which we see that at Cockle Park the second 5 cwt. of slag 

 produced much more effect (179 lbs. live-weight increase) in 

 the three years following its use than the first 5 cwt. (132 lbs. 

 live-weight increase). At Cransley the effect of the first and 

 second doses is practically identical (85 and 83 lbs. respec- 

 tively), but at Sevington the second dose has not been nearly 

 sc effective as the first (as 55 to 85 lbs.). A point to be noted
