It should be understood that in presenting specific advice as to applications of fertilizers under different conditions, no attempt is made to give an exhaustive discussion of the subject. The materials advised have been used with excellent results on the college farm as well as by numerous private farmers.

If it is desirable to increase the proportion of clover, either of the following fertilizer applications may be recom- mended :— (a.) Per acre, in addition to the manure, muriate of potash or high grade sulfate of potash 150 to 175 pounds,—the former to be select- ed for the lighter soils, and in cases where it is desirable that the proportion of timothy should be relatively large.
