NJ. Kinney: beg leave to give some information
not generally known that probably will encourage far
mers to pay attention to the cultivation OF this
article The grain itself and the manner of raising
it is well known, that any observations upon that sub
iect would be superhuous. | wish to call their atten-
ton to the manRer of turning straw to account. That
article is generally altogether destroyed by fire and
wasted, although it contains greater quantity OF pot
ash than any vegetable that has come under my no.
tce, and is easily obtained.
NV method is, as soon the grain is thrashed,
Iscrape away smooth spot of level hard ground,
which burn the straw in small quantities at time,
continuing to throw on the fire as fast it will
sumo the ashes must be left the ground to cool,
and afterwards taken up in barrels and put away for
leisure times The ashes be leached in the usual
way for soap making, and the ley should be kept clear
and free from sediment it must be then boiled until
1T becomes solid cake and perfectly dry, when 1T
will become very hard and stick to the sides and bot
tom of the vessel in which it is boiled by suffering
it to stand for few days attract the moisture it can
he easily broken up and taken out. 1t must now be
placed in furnace and exposed TO red heat for a
few hours when it will be white and as pure as any
potash brought hither for sale.
Two acres of buckwheat straw, when burned, pro-
duced me barrel of ashes, from which procured
thirty pounds of pure potash.
The sale Of potash will fully pay the expense of
cutting ashng and cleaning up the grain, and also
the trouble of teaching, boiling, and baking the salts,
which be done at leisure, the ashes, If kept dry,
may be preserved long time A small furnace that
can be built by an ingenious farmer, will answer the
purpose of baking the salts 1t cannot be injured by
any heat give it, but if exposed to the atmos-
phere it will soon dissolve and waste away.
