A frequent mistake was the addition of superphosphate of hme to 

 the soil as a means of adding hme. It cannot be too greatly em- 

 phasized that superphosphate is an acid manure, and that the benefits 

 following the addition of lime to the soil are never associated with 

 the addition of superphosphate. 



Candidates are recommended to the study of the physical characters 

 of soils, and the indications given by texture, feel, and colour, and by 

 the weeds which are natural to it. Observations upon these points 

 are of great value as helps to a soil's proper treatment, and are within 

 the capacity of cottagers and school children. 



On the whole, facts were fairly well known, but reasons thererf)r 

 were too frequently lacking.
