SOlubility of South Carolina
Phosphate Rock.

Professor c. P. Williams of England
Quoted by the Montreal Journal of Agri-
culture) has determined by experiment
that the South Carolina phosphate rock,
when finely ground, is more soluble in
water than equally fine bone-ash in the
proportion of five and one-half to four.
As bone-ash is more soluble than raw
bone, the South Carolina phosphate is
we'll adapted for use as a fertilizer with
out treatment with acid. Ground raw
bone treated with unleached ashes and
water, however, would probably be even
more soluble than the South Carolina
rock. Entirely raw ground bone, when
used as a fertilizer without the ashes
treatment, is too greasy to dissolve
quickly, and, as the Journal Of agriculture
says, it has been found in the soil, long
after application, to be nest of maggots.
But the ashes treatment, which we have
80 often advised, makes both the grease
and the animal matter Immediately solu-
BILE in the water of the soil, and leaves the
bone in condition to be at once availa-
BILE for the nutrition of crops.

some well-tested formula which supplies
more, and more soluble phosphoric acid,
together with the requisite nitrogen and
potosh, than would be needed for potatoes
or corn, would be very acceptable. And
so of an onion or cabbage fertilizer, made
more than commonly rich in combined
nitrogen, or potato fertilizer specially rich
in potash. These ere we'll recognized
differences in the wants of particular
crops, and it is perfectly proper to provide
for them, so far as possible. in this way.
But what do we actually find to be the
case with the long list of Formula Fer
tilizers for every crop that is grown ?
The fact is that few crops require special
fertilization, and for but few can any
peculiar fertilizer be made. By analyses
repeated in all the experiment stations
from year to year, it is shown distinctly
that no special adaptation is even at
tempted in the great msjority of cases,
aud that these formula fertilizers do not
differ intelligently, or upon any regular
system, but are, as the Connecticut report
declares, simply superphosphates of a
higher grade and higher cost than the aver
age, and the term especial" as applied to
them, /" is meaningless, and there is no
apparent reason for calling one of the
samples an onion manure rather than a
corn or potato manure" In short, we OBJ
ject to them that they are not what they
pretend to be, and that even if they were,
their so-called system is made ridiculous
by being applied to long list of plants
which do not need special fertiliz alton.

ufacture of fertilizers, different for differ

spirit of criticism is too apt to lead its
victims to misunderstood purposely, in
order that they may make point. But
mere hasty reading, with no bad inten-
tion, may have the same effect, and proba-
bly, that is the case with our friend. All
fertilizers are, of course, made up accord
ing to some formula, or recipe. We also
know that different crops require to be
differently fed, and therefore that we may
properly make up our fertilizers upon the
basis of that knowledge. 1t is quite proper
to have mere potash in potato fertilizer,
or to have soluble phosphoric acid in a
turnip fertilizer, or to have liberal allow
ance of combined nitrogen in an onion, or
cabbage fertilizer. Farmers themselves
long ago recognized these facts from their
own experience, and accordingly they used
hog and hen manure (rich in nitrogen)
for onions and csbbages, and "ashed I"
their potatoes and corn. Not having any
strong phosphate fertilizer among home
made manures, farmers unacquainted
with chemical fertilizers had to resort to
new, fresh land to grow good turnips,
though they sometimes used to get the
same result by folding sheep in the "tur-
nip.yard.' All these practices of the
farmers of the last generation have been
justified and explained in the progress of
agricultural chemistry, which has shown
that other fertilizers rich in nitrogen may
be used successfully in place of hog and
hen manure for onions and cabbages, and
that with bone fertilizers we may grow
turnips without resorting to new clearings,
or the sheep fold, for turnip-yard.
