Manures in future should not be treated with all manner of chemicals, but with these five: yarrow, camomile, stinging nettle, oak-bark and dandelion.

Now, to improve your manure still more, take any stinging nettles you can get, let them fade a little, press them together slightly, and use them in this case without any bladder or intestines.

Question: What is the best time to plant cereals?

Answer: The exact answer will be given when I come to sowing in the main lectures. It is very important, needless to say, and it makes a great difference whether you do it more or less near to the winter months. If near to the winter months, you will bring about a strong reproductive power in your cereals; if farther from the winter months, a strong nutritive power.

This time, however, you fill them not with manure but with quartz or silica or even orthorclase or felspar, ground to a fine mealy powder, of which you make a mush, say of the consistency of a very thin dough. With this you fill the horn. And now, instead of letting it “hibernate,” you let the horn spend the summer in the earth and in the late autumn dig it out and keep its contents till the following spring.

We take manure, such as we have available. We stuff it into the horn of a cow, and bury the horn a certain depth into the earth— say about 18 in. to 2 ft. 6 in., provided the soil below is not too clayey or too sandy.

Nitrogen is verily the bearer of sensation.

There is an old saying in respect of man: “Blood is a very special fluid”—and we can truly say: the human Ego, pulsating in the blood, finds there its physical expression.

We must put such a plant into a sandy soil, for in silicious soil the cosmic is held back; it is actually “caught.”

We are in real earnest about it.
