THE PRESS.
THE FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Potash as n Fertilizer.

FOtasn as u n erttllZef.
The question is often asked: "what is the
cheapest form of potash for agricultural pur-
poses?" A careful study of ANALYSIS and
prices of the different potash compounds in
the market will help us to solution. These
compounds are kainit; muriate, sulphate and
nitrate OF potast; and forty per cent. actual
potash. We need not consider the nitrate,
as its value depends more on the nitrogen
than on its potash.
Kanit is advertised as containing from -
to 20 per cent. of potash, and quoted at 800
to $25 per ton. 1t sometimes runs lower still
as l have an analysis in my note book show
ing but 104 per cent About IA per cent. is
fair average, which makes tie potash cost
cents per pound.
The best grade Of sulphate contains A per
cent. of potash, aud is quoted at cents,
which is equal to 9 cents per pound for the
pure potash.
Murlate of potash, quoted at q cts, con-
tains 504 per cent. of potash, costing trife
less than 81 cents per ID.
The forty per cent. actual potash costs
cts per h., or u cts. for pure potash.
The cheapest, then, is the muriate, and the
dearest is kainit, or as it is moro commonly
called, German potash salts. Fifty per cent.
of this material is common salt, the value Of
which as fertilizer, except in special cases,
is quite doubtful. In deciding between low
and high grade potash salts, the question of
transportation comes in. In one case you
have 2S0 lbs. to the ton of material, and in
the other, over 1000 lbs, that is, you would
have to pay freight on nearly tons OF kainit
to get as much potash as is in ton of 80 per
cent. muriate. Something more is to be said
in favor of the German salts, however. They
contain considerable amount of sulphate of
magnesia, which is now often included in the
mixtures for special fertilizers and is adyer-
tized in some of the trade lists. Its value is
still to be aScertained.
The value of wood ashes does not depend
alone on the potash they contain, some 10 to
Is per cent, but also on to 10 per cent. of
phosphoric acid. Kainit, or any other form
ofpotash can never entirely take their place.
A mixture OF grodnd bone potash would do
perhaps. In place of ton of wood ashes,
we might use, say 500 lbs. of 80 per cent.
muriate of potash, and 400 lbs. pure ground
bone, costing about $40. 1 should very much
prefer this mixture to ton of kainit, costing
the same at the store, and double as much
for transportation.
There is a question in this connection that
I wish to bring to the attention of those who
are using potash fertilizers: 1t has never
been decided whether there is any difference
in the effect of potash in the form of murate,
and as sulphate or crude potash. 1t is sup
posed to be more soluble and so more easily
taken up by the plants when in the latter
form. 1t is very desirable to try some expert
ments to settle this point, in one case using
100 lbs. of 80 per cent. muriate, and in the
other 125 lbs. OF 40 per cent. actual potash,
there being the same amount of potash in
each. Let some one try it and give us the
results next winter.-Albert FL. Chester in
Country Gentleman.

The Dew.

Comparatively but few amongst the many
who profess to be careful observers of natural
phenomena have attained to a moderate
knowledge of tie formation of dew. 1t is
often-indeed, cemmonly-said that the dew
"falls," and the observation is allowed to
pass even by persons who know full well that
it does not fall, the acquiesence being partly
on the subject, and partly to the difficulty of
establishing better notions in their stead.
This is subject, however, of such great i'm
portance that it should have some amount of
attention from all lovers of the country, and
especially from such as are employed in out
door business, whether in the forest, field or
garden. The most casual observation will
convince any one that between the dew and
the rain there must be an essential difference
for rain certainly falls, and we see the clouds
that produce it; but we do not see the dew
fall and its appearance is not accounted for
by as the appearance of rain is, for, in truth,
the clear moonlight night is the very time
when dew appears most conspicuously, so
that early walkers amongst long grass may be
properly warned to go out protected by
means of waterproof boots. It. is the same
in the winter as in summer as to the circum-
stances that accompany, and as will be seen,
not only accompany but cause a deposition
of dew; but the result is different to this ex-
tent: that whereas in summer the dew appears
in the form of globules of water, in winter
its appearance is that of boar frost. Now,
with the popular-and we must add with the
very ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS of the dew as
''falling," to dispose of it in these remarks,
we shall observe that while the summer dew
is not rain, neither is the winter dew snow.
Rain falls and snow falls, and both are dis
charged from the clouds that are not only
visible at the time but often appear long be-
fore the fall takes place and gives us notice
that it is coming. But the time to look for
heavy dew or thick crust of beautiful boar
frost is when there are no clouds, and the
barometer is high, the air calm and, compar-
atively speaking, dry and cold, while the
earth and its belongings, such as grass, trees,
ETC., are comparatively warm.-Gardener'
