Talk With Farmers.

There are doubtless many farmers i'll
our State who do not understand the
meaning of the figures used to express
the result Of chemical analysis OF fer
tilizer. To all such we will simply say
the figures used merely Indicate parts per
hundred, or, in other words they tell US
how many pounds OF each ingredient is
present in every hundred pounds of fertiI-
izer. Thus, suppose our analysis reads:
Phosphoric Acid 10 20 per cent
Potash BIB -
Nitrogen $50
This would simply mean that in every
ole hundred pounds of fertilizer mixture
there is present, il an anequivalent form,
a little more than ten pounds of phOs,
phoric acid, three pounds OF potash and
exactly three and hall pounds Of nitro
gen.
by remembering this explanation it will
be very easy matter to know when we
purchase fertilizers, just exactly how
much OF each valuable ingredient we are
securing.
HOW TO ESTIMATE THE VALUE OF A FER
TILIZER.
To find the market value Of a ton of
fertilizer requires only a very simple cal
culation. The prices paid, per pound, for
the several ingredients are the ones uni
formally paid in most States, and are
based on the prices these goods will bring
when placed on the market.
In the calculation below, the p'ice of
the available phosphoric acid is placed
at TX cents, insoluble phospboric acid at
2 cents, potash at cents, and nitrogen
at 19H cents per pound. Then let US az
certain the commercial value of a ton OF
a fertilizer of the following composition:
Available Phos. Acid $50 per cent. 20
=+64OO lbs. in ton a. ~ SIP SO
Insoluble Phos. Acid, 200 per cent. X 20
1900 lbs, in ton a Cts so
Potash 316 per cent. 10000 lbs. q
cts 3.l3
Nitrogen $50 per cent. 2O-7O,OO lbs. q
1912 cts 1856
Market value. per ton, equals $29.9O
In the above calculation the following
method was pursued;

l would like to know what is done with

could be had there, and if they make
syrup, and il not, why not? And about
rice. Our country should Use great
deal of rough rice for feed, if sold here
as cheap as in Louisiana. The bran
and polish, broken rice ETC., can be used
for feed for everything on the farm. My
horse is full of sand and l am told rough
rice feed will take out the sand and fat
ten the horse. 1t is specially good for
chickens. The bran and polish is fine for
hogs. COWS, etc. Why can't these goods
be had by our people from these plant
ations at such prices as they obtain in
other markets? Mr.. Editor if you can
find out about this think it will be we'll
| write to you that all may know about
it. And again because last year | wrote
two Or three times to the sugar mills
about syrup and got no sense or salts

they made syrup or whether they would

Now can you find out anything of these
