How TO Tell the Value of Com
mercial Fertilizers.

There are only three substances
that are counted in estimating the
value of commercial fertilizer. These
are nitrogen, Cor ammonia) phos-
phoric acid and potash Moisture
counts for nothing; it is only SO
much water in the sample, and real
ly makes it that much less valuable.
Nitrogen is rated at eighteen cents
pound, available phosphoric acid
ten cents pound, and potash six
cents a pound. (Total and soluble
phosphoric acid are not counted.)
Suppose fertilizer contains two
per cent, IF nitrogen, ten per cent.
of available phosphoric acid, and
two per cent Of potash, what would
be its value?
A ton containing two per cent of
nitrogen, will contain two pounds to
the hundred or forty pounds of nitro
gen, and this at eighteen cents a
pound will be $2.4O.
Zen per cent. of phosphoric acid
means ten pounds to the hundred,
so there will be in twenty hundred
"a ton) 200 pounds, which at ten
cents a pound, will be $40. Two
per cent, or forty pounds of potash
at six cents will be worth 500 60.
Every dealer is required by law
law to keep posted up at his place
of business the analysis of the fer
tilizers sold, as made by the state
chemist: so that farmers may be
protected in buying.
Fertilizers have been selling the
past two seasons at a little under the
above figures; but the values of
different grades can he compared
whether tie prices are exactly cor
rect or not Ellisville New South.

The Snort Of the Iron Horse.

Feliciana Sentinel.
An interview with Mayor Irvine
has put us in possession of a number
of items in connection with the con-
struction Of the Bayou Sara branch
OF the Louisville, New Orleans and
Texas railroad, that will prove of
interest to our readers on account Of
their authenticity and consequent
reliability.
The contract for building that
portion of the road lying between st.
Francisville crossing and Thompson
creek, has been awarded to S. L.
James & Co., and the convicts Of the
Louisiana penitentiary will be en-
ployed in construction, on that part
of the line. The length of time for
the completion of that section of
work, which by far is the heaviest
section on the route, is estimated at
60 days.
Mr.. Irvine, who is to transport
James & Co.'s. force to this place by
his steamer, thinks that the prelim-
mary preparations for the movement
and reception of such a force will
retard commencement of construc-
ton at this end, until Monday after
next.
He further states that a desirable.
healthful and convenient site for the
general encampment will be selected
upon the range of hills between here
and Thompson's creek, and at as
central location as circumstances
will permit. James & Co.'S Engineer
has visited the route with this end in
view:
Once commenced, the work Will be
pushed forward with the celebrity and
dispatch that has always character
lied the undertakings Of the firm Of
James & Co. The contractor on the
other end having commenced opera
lions last Monday, we see no reason,
provided the work is favored with
good weather, why trains should not
be running by the first of June at
fartherest.

ever Induce me to undertake the care
and management of them again
there is no profit in them If properly
treated, at the rate of 100000 a
year rental.
II do not believe the Board of
Control can manage it properly and
pay anything in the treasury Of the
State, and do not believe the State
ought to expect or desire any reve-
nue. from the labor Of these con-
victs."
