to 70 per cent of the mixture. 
By a similar calculation to the preceding it is an easy matter — 
to compound a mixed fertilizer having any desired composition — 
and composed of such materials as the farmer may desire. 
With an increase of intelligence among our farmers concerning 
the use of these products, and with the growing necessity of 
economy in their expenditures, it would seem the wisest plan for 
the manufacturers and dealers in mixed fertilizers to take the 
initiative by fully presenting to the farmer every item of informa- 
tion concerning the composition of these fertilizers, which it is 
important for the farmer to know since, unless such course shall 
soon be entered upon, there is every reason to believe that the 
number, now large, of our farmers who prepare their own fertil- 
izers from the chemicals and raw material purchased in open 
market will in the near future so greatly increase as to practically 
do away with the manufacture of mixed fertilizers as at present 
conducted, and while even now granges, farmers’ clubs and other 
bodies of farmers in many sections are uniting in their purchases 
of mixed fertilizers through motives of economy, they will soon 
unite through increasing intelligence in the preparation of fertil- 
izers from formulas of their own, and from the materials of which 
they desire that such fertilizers shall be composed.
