No. 6. (8 bushels of fresh bones dissolved in sulphuric acid) gives 
16 tons 1 cwt. 3 St. per acre. 
No. 8. (8 bushels of fresh bones /mrt/t and dissolved in sulphuric acid) 
gives 14 tons 3 cwt. "7 st. per acre. 
Showing a difference in favour of the fresh bones of less than 2 tons. 
This therefore is the extra produce arising from the animal matter of 
the bone, and 14 tons 3 cwt., &c., is the effect of the earthy portion; for
