What reading level is American Manures; And Farmers' And Planters' Guide book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But in tlieir haste to get rich by exorbitant profits, these manufacturers have displayed the wisdom of tlie old woman of the fable, who '' killed the goose tliat laid the golden eggsr The reader has been shown that the elements of fertility supposed to be furnished by these manures, form but a small poi'tion of the produce of an acre. He has been shown that 28 lbs. of phosphoric acid, 40 lbs. of potash, and 58 lbs. of ammonia, are the amounts of these substances needed to produce 25 bushels of... wheat with the straw, and if none of these substances were con- tained in the soil, the above amounts must be applied in some shape to insure the raising of such a crop. If the reader will turn to the Tables of Analyses in Chapter YIL, he will there see that even 800 lbs. of some of the most celebrated manures of these manufactures, do not contain a sufficient amount of the above substances in proper condition.
But would it pay the farmer to apply 800 lbs. of a manure that costs $50 per ton, to raise 25 bushels of wheat?
