III. — Results of the Inquiry. 
1. The first result evinced was the decided start which the 
whole of the dissolved bones took from the very first appearance 
of the plants. 
2. The various plots with dissolved bones came into rough leaf 
sooner by eight days than the other plots. 
3. No. 10 (2 bushels per acre dissolved bones) did not move 
quite so quickly into rough leaf as Nos. 6 and 9 (8 bushels and 
4 bushels, respectively). 
4. No. 12 (8 bushels, with only one-fourth part acid) also did 
not start so well as Nos. 6 and 11 (respectively half and one- 
third part acid sulph.). 
5. Nos. 13 and 14 were also a shade behind the best in their 
first start; these (Nos. 13 and 14) having only half and one- 
fourth the usual quantity of water applied. 
6. Nos. 17, 18, and 19 (bones in various proportions, with 
muriatic acid) did not start quite so quickly as the same quan- 
tities of bones in the sulphuric acid (Nos. 6, 9, and 10) ; there 
was, however, but a shade of difference . 
7. Of bones in their ordinary conditions. — No. 3 (burnt) took
