Excerpt from An Electrical Method of Determining the Soluble Salt Content of Soils: With Some Results of Investigations on the Effect of Water and Soluble Salts on the Electrical Resistance of Soils

The moist soil is thoroughly mixed with a Dover's egg'beater, securely fastened to a sh elf or table, to distribute the water uniform throughout the mass of soil. The soil must not be mixed with the hands, as the salts from the hands are liable to Vitiate the results, especially in a warm room where the hands are perspiring freely. The soil should be put in a round-bottom bowl or in a heavy glass cover, such as is used in the laboratory to protect apparatus and specimens from dust. With clay soils especially it is well to empty the soil out of the bowl and pour it back again once to insure thorough mixin g of the water or solution throughout the mass of soil.
