To ascertain by this mode of valuation the approximate market value of a fertilizer (ie, the money worth of its essential fertilizing ingredients), we multiply the pounds per ton of nitrogen, etc., by the trade value per pound; the same course is adopted with reference to the various forms of phosphoric acid and of potassium oxide. We thus get the values per ton of the several ingredients, and, adding them together, we obtain the total...

The hitherto customary valuation of manurial substances is based on the average trade value of the essential fertilizing elements specified by analysis.
