What reading level is Elements of Scientific Agriculture; Or, the Connection Between Science And the Art of Practical Farming book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
One hundred weight of nitrates of potash and soda, of common salt, sulphate of soda and sulphate of magnesia, all mingled together, and applied with a few bushels of gypsum, would be much more likely to meet the wants of any soil, than a hundred weight of either one alone. Such mixtures are found remarkably effectual, and they are the basis of the artificial ma- nures now gradually coming into vogue. These ma- nures are very excellent if the price is reasonable, and the farmer assured of their ...purity. I have known instances of most audacious cheating in these things, and in a way too that could not readily be discovered unless by a chemical examination. The farmer should not buy these manures unless he has perfect confidence in the manufacturers, or unless, as was recommended with regard to guano, they furnish an analysis by com- petent chemists, and warrant the manure sold to be equal in quality. If it fails him, he can then have compensation from them.
120 EXPERIMENTS WITH COMPOST.
Where such saline manures as I have mentioned, or others having some of the ingredients known to be valuable for plants, can be obtained at fair rates, the farmer would do well to mix composts for himself; adding 25, 60, 100 or more pounds, as he may require, of various articles to his manure heap; or making small experimental heaps to try the effect of different substances, and different mixtures, on his soils.
