Samples for examination to be sent free of charge.

Members wishing to exercise their privilege on the above-named terms may, if they please, forward their samples for examination by parcel, prepaid, direct to PROFESSOR VOELCKER, Royal Agricultural College, Cirencester.

The Professor's fee must be paid in advance, by Post-office order or cheque. But as in some cases information may be desired which is not clearly defined in the above list, members will do well to ascertain the expense which they are about to incur by communication with the Professor.

Samples of manures are best sent in tin canisters: lb. to 1 lb. of a previously well-mixed sample taken from the bulk of manure is a sufficient quantity for analysis. If the manure is quite uniform a much smaller quantity is required, and the sample, weighing about 3 or 4 ozs., is best sent by post.

The members of the Society are recommended in buying artificial manures to ask for an analytical guarantee. As very inferior manures are often sold on the strength of printed analyses, proving that the import of chemical terms used in copies of analyses is not generally understood, Professor Voelcker has kindly offered to give an opinion gratis on all copies of analyses which members may send to him with a directed and stamped envelope.
