MEASURING ARTIFICIAL MANURES.
In recommending the use of artificial manures the quantity to be applied is often given at the rate of, say, one or two ounces to the square yard. It is easy enough to measure the length, but it is not so easy to guess at the weight, and it is far from convenient to have to carry a pair of scales and set the weights about the garden. The following are not absolutely correct, but are true enough for all ordinary purposes: One teaspoonful equals Joz. One dessertspoonful equals loz. One tablespoonful equals 2oz. With light manures the spoons should be heaped, but with heavy manures they should be level.
