Enough manure to supply all the demands of the different 
portions of soil was passed through a sieve of 1l-inch x 14-inch 
mesh, the rough parts were discarded, and it was all thoroughly 
mixed before any portion of the soil was manured. This was 
done to secure as uniform composition as possible. The re- 
quired portion of soil was then weighed out or measured by 
volume according to the requirements of each particular case, 
the manure was added and both were thoroughly mixed together 
before any commercial fertilizers were added. 
Application of commercial fertilizers.—The required amounts of 
the commercial fertilizers were weighed out for each box of soil. 
The exact amount of soil required for the box was spread upon 
a clean cement floor <A part of the commercial fertilizers were 
scattered upon it; the pile was then well mixed and more of the 
fertilizers added. This process was repeated till the applica- 
tion of the fertilizers was complete. After still further mixing, 
the soil was put into the box designed for it.
