may this by extracting Ammonia from Cotton Seed
1t ascertaned that there about 81 per cent of Ammonia
given of Cotton Seed of course the remaining per-
centae of the quantity operate diminish the grade of
any Soluble Phosphate with which it mixed If that that grade
mixed to proper grade use planter will then obtain an
excellent Fertilizer the lowest possible cost to him With
this offer material containing lS to 20 per cent
Cotton Seed according the directions below, will produce

same weight of Cotton Seed moened with water proceed
thus spreading alternate layers of the Of Cotton

for manurng the field then cut perpendicuary down sections
from II 20 inches thickness to mix the ingredients
and distribute
The longer the pile stands before using the better but
be used after three weeks though six Or eight will be best
no loss Of Ammonia seized aid retained by the Phos
phoric Acid of the Dissolved Bone Acid Compost and
Phosphate of Ammonia until decomposed by the
needs of the plant
much smaller proportion of Dissolved Bone Acid Com

Let try the comparison plantation of 100 acres The
labor and of cultivation will be the whether Fert
used The of the Guano the one
side and the of crop the other the elements Of
difference
The general result from application of the Ewan Guanos is
an increase of 100 per cent In some more few
is less Hence 100 per cent increase may beccepted as an
average assuming the present price Of Cotton at 10 cents as
the lowest probable rate.
