FACTS ABOUT FERTILIZERS.
Thor Principal Sources Tho Cheapest
Form In Which to Purchase Them.


Tho cheapest form in which to buy
commercial fertilizers is an important
question. and intelligent farmers will be
interested in tho following, from Amer
loan Agriculturist, bearing ON tho sub
Ject: of materials furnishing phosphorio
acid. South Carolina and Florida rock
phosphate and bones arc the most large
~ nscd The rock phosphate contains
about 60 per cent of phosphate of lime,
which is about the same as is contained
III bones. When this rock is ground fine
and treated with sulphuric acid, it re-
solves itself into two substances. Ono
i. is soluble phosphate of lime called su-
perphosphate; the other is sulphate Of
hme-that is, gypsum, or land plaster
These two substances cannot we'll be
separated, so they are sold together un-
der the name of superphosphate This
usually contains Id per cent of soluble
phosphorio acid and can be bought for
from S15 to $1S per ton. making the
phosphorio acid cost from to 616 cents
per pound.
Ground bone or bonemeal contains
about 28 per cent of phosphorio acid in
an insoluble condition It also contains
BILE Both the phosphorio acid and hi.
trogen become available as plant food by
chemical action in tho soil The rapid.
1ty with which these changes take place
largely depends upon the f1neness of the
bonemeal. Calling the phosphoric acid
In the fine bonemeal worth AZ cents
per pound and the nitrogen worth Is
cents per pound, bonemeal is worth
$32.7 per ton. Another source of phos-
phoric acid is phosphate Of lime pro-
duced as product in the manufacture
of steel. 1t is called by various names
among which are "Thomas Stag" and
"odorless phosphate. p" This phosphate
contains about 90 per cent of phosphoric
acid in q condition that is insolublc in
water, but when ground very fine soon
becomes available to tho plants This
is particularly true OH low or muclxv
ground. 1t is claimed that phosphoric
acid in this form is more easily taken
up by the plants than in the form in
which it occurs in bones Calling the
prosphorio acid iii this phosphate worth
~ cents per pound, it's Value is Sl8
per ton.
The principal sources OF nitrogen are
nitrate of soda. sulphate of ammonia
dried blood, tankage and yard manure
Nitrate of soda contains about I6 per
cent of nitrogen, or from BIO to $50
pounds a ton. AS Il ton Of nitrate of soda
can be bought for SAG or S;l7, nitrogen in
this form costs 10 cents per pound Sui
phate of anNnonia contains about 20 pcr
cent OF 400 pounds per ton 1t costs SO
per ton, which makes nitrogen in this
form cost ia cents per pound. Tho
amount of nitrogen i'll dried blood is
somewhat variable, 10 per cent being, /
think. about tho average. The prices arc
also variable. If it contains 10 per cent
of nitrogen, there would DO 200 pounds
per ton. which, at Is cents per pound,
would make the blood worth $50 per
ton. Potash can be bought in the form
of muriato of potash, which contains so
per cent actual potash. for about AZ
cents per pound. In the form Of "high
grade" sulphate of potash it costs g. Is
cents per pound
