ARTIFICIAL MANURES
METHOD OF MEASURING
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 tho area, but it is not so easy to guess at the weight, and it is far from convenient to carry a pair of scales and set of weights about the garden. The following are not absolutely correct, but arc true enough for all ordinary purposes:— One teaspoonful equals half an ounce. One dessertspoonful equals one ounce. One tablespoonful equals two ounces. With light manures the spoons should be heaped, but with heavy kinds they should be filled level.
