by the soil water. So that in whatever
form nitrogen is employed as fertilizer
it is exceedingly difficult to manage SO as
not to waste considerable portion OF it.
It is always necessary, therefore, on ac-
count of these facts, and also on account
OF it's high cost, to exercise the utmost
care whenever nitrogen is employed as a
fertilizer.
The largest natural source of this ele-
ment, at present, is from the large nitre-
beds that occur in Chill. In these beds it
exists in the form OF nitrate OF soda, some
times called Chilian salt-petre. This salt
has a very extended use for fertilizing
purposes both as q top dressing for crops
and for mixing in commercial fertilizers.
PLANTS THAT sECRETE NITROGEN.
There is division OF plants, known as
the Legumes, including the pea, bean and
clover families, that is capable ofemploy-
how they are able to do so, is still quite
imperfectly understood. 1t has been as
serted by some that these plants take in
this nitrogen directly from the air,
through very minute breathing pores that
occur on the under surface Of their leaves,
but this theory now appears to haVe very
few adherents.
1t seems more probable that the at
mospheric nitrogen is secured through
the agency of minute microscopic fungi
that infest the roots of these leguminons
plants. Upon these plants there have
been observed certain tubercles Or swell
ings in which this fungus gro with subsists.
This fungus is, itself, little plant, and
it's manner of growth is very similar to
that of the yeast plant, which is known
to be the agency which produces alcoholic
fermentation in sugar solutions.
We may, perhaps, be warranted in as
serting that some plants, at least, are
capable of using during growth the nitro
gen of the air, and that their ability to
do so is due to certain ferment, which,
in the presence of warmth, moisture and
darkness, feeds upon the free atmospheric
nitrogen, and, as result, nitI ates are
formed, and in this form the growing
plants utilize the nitrogen which this fer
ment has thus rendered available. We
are now prepared to understand why it
is that certain plants, like cow peas and
clover, are highly beneficial in q system
of crop rotation. Such plants gather
from the atmosphere and supply to the
soil the most expensive element OF plant
food that would otherwise have to be
supplied in the form of purchased fertil-
izer.
NITROGEN EQUIVALENT TO AMMONIA.
1t is very common among manufact-
urers to express the per cent. OF nitrogen
present in a fertilizer as equivalent to
ammonia" They prefer to express it in
this way probably for the reason that, if
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1893-12-13
DeLand, Fla, Wednesday, December 49, 1898

the nitrogen is expressed as ammonia,
larger figures are necessary to describe
the analysis, and, if the farmer knows no
better, the larger figures used will serve
to impress him with the belief that lar
ger per cent. of nitrogen is present than
realIyis. This method is in perfect accord
with legal requirements, but it would be
we'll for the farmer to remember that nj
trogen and ammonia are two different
substances, and that one pound OF am
monia is equivalent to only about eight
tenths of a pound OF nitrogen. Let us
understand this: Ammonia is substance
composed of nitrogen and hydrogen COM
Dined, therefore pound of nitrogen will
form over a pound Of ammonia, for the
reason that the ammonia formed from a
pound OF nitrogen will contain, in addi-
ton to that nitrogen, a certain amount
OF hydrogen. The chemical relations ex-
listing between nitrogen and hydrogen
are such that fourteen pounds of nitrogen
will unite with exactly three pounds of
hydrogen to form seventeen pounds OF
ammonia. One pound OF nitrogen will
therefore make 1915 pounds of am
monia.
Then it may be we'll to remember that
if the nitrogen in fertilizer is reported
in the analysis as 'equivalent to am
monia," it does not mean to imply that
the stated per cent. OF ammonia actually
was present-indeed there may have been
no ammonia at all in thefertilizer. What
the figures used do intend to state is,
how much ammonia there would be if ali
the nitrogen were present in that form.
For The Florida Agriculturist
Meat Saving in Warm Latitudes.-II.
SAVING THE sCRAPs-sOME GOOD BATTING
''PIN MONEY" FOR WOMEN.
In our last we tried to give safe and
sure plan for saving meat (by both "dry
sailing" and pickling) in unfavorable
seasons. We thought (and not without
just reason) that if one can succeed in
saving meat in an unfavorable season,
there would be little reason for doubt as
to saving meat when the season was fav-
Orable. We will now notice part of the
modus OperaL Ldi of meat saving in which
our "better halves (God bless 'em) have
by far the larger portion of the work;
and as they have the ''drudge's' portion
of the work, we think it nothing more
nor less than strict justice to the fairer
but weaker portion OF Gods creation, to
allow them the ''lion's share' of the
spoils in the shape OF 'Pin Money" To
make this matter plain, we would say
that we refer to sausage-souse, or
"head cheese black or "blood' pud-
ding Gan old country dish)-mince (pork)

be "al at sea- in preparing. Hence, they
are universally turned over to our clever

women over 80 with men over 90 the
female majority becomes much greater,
and when we once pass 80 the old men are
nowhere. The female nonogenarians nearly
