tion in regard to the Manures mailed free. 
These Fertilizers are packed in bags of 200 pounds each. 2,000 pounds to the ton.

♦The above quantities recommended for one acre are without stable manure; but, if stable manure is used 
in connection with the Stockbridge, then a smaller amount can be used, depending on the amount of manure 
applied and its richness. About one-half the quantity of each is the rule. 
The first column gives the usual quantities which farmers apply, and the second column the usual quantities 
which market gardeners apply.
