This article in composed Of Pure Ground Bone
dissolved in Sulphuric Acid, Animal Matter and
Potash.
1t contains no heavy mineral substances such
as enter into the composition of most of the arti-
Giles sold under the name of Super Phosphates
and consequently the bags in which it is packed
though as large as any other, contain only l67
pounds, thus saving to the farmer at least ~ per
cent of weight in the same bulk.
1t has less inorganic matter than those articles
which arc based on Rock Guano or other heavy
material. The farmer therefore derives benefit
from almost every atom of its bulk, either as q
