COMMERCIAL FERTILIZERS.
Trade Values of Fertilizing Ingredients.
Average Composition of Brands.

Average Composition of Brands.
Bulletin No. AZ issued by the Yer
mont agricultural experiment station is
devoted to commercial fertilizers. From
this bulletin we learn that the trade
values Of fertilizing ingredients in
mixed goods this year are 10, 1S15 and
1917 cents per pound for nitrogen in nj
trates, ammonia salts and in organic
forms respectively; 6, 5h and cents
per pound for soluble and reverted and
insoluble phosphoric acids; 5]4 and AZ
cents per pound for sulphate and muri-
ate of potash. These trade values do not
represent the proper selling prices of
mixed goods at the point of consump-
tion, but are the retail cash prices of the
various fertilizing ingredients in the
large markets unmixed, but ready for
use. They do not include freight, cost
of manufacture, storage, commissions,
etc. They stand in no necessary relation
to the profits derived from the use of the
goods, but have an almost purely com
mercial significance
The station has analyzed SAMPLES of
92 distinct brands Of fertilizers, all taken
this spring from dealers stocks and all
this years goods. This is 80 more than
were analyzed In 1894, and 90 more than
in any year previous to that time.
OF the 92 brands analyzed, 90, or two
thirds, are above guarantee in nitrogen,
available phosphoric acid and potash
26. or little more than fourth, are de-
ficient in single ingredient; Z, or one
twelfth. are deficient in two ingredients.
Of the 33 brands found deficient 80 are
but slightly so, or show by their analyses
imperfect mixing at the factory. They
contain sufficient excess of other inpre-
dients to afford an equivalent money
value. 1t is safe to say that 95 per cent
of the brands sold in the state this wear
contain the commercial equivalent of
their guarantees.
The average composition Of AZ brands
sold i'll Vermont In 1894 and I895 diff.
fers but slightly. the increase in valua-
ton being but "a cents The average
goods are Of poorer quality than those
sold before 1894. Owing to lower prices

Profit in Insurance.
Boston Journal.)

The fact that the people of Rhode Is
land annually pay for fire insurance, in
excess of the amount of their losses more
than twice the entire cost of their state
government, is made the somewhat strik
ing basis for pamphlet by Charles Acton
Ives called Fire Insurance by tht
State" 1t was originally paper read
before the Business Mems Association OF
Newport, and while what is true of the
smallest state In the Upion may have no
corresponding weight in other states, tht
principles of the pamphlet, supported as
they are by numerous tables Of figures.
and by lucid reasoning, bear something
of interest for all business men.
THE year 1898 was an exceptionally bad
year for in surance companies, but In that
year the difference between losses paid
and premiums received 10 Rhode Island
was 81, 502, 267. 1t cost but S1.243,
SIS. 81 to run the state that year. If firt
insurance is not profitable what become
Of the profit? More than five-sixths of the
enormous difference between income and
losses goes not to stockholders, but to
brokerage, fees, salaries, office charges and
other running expenses. The total amount
of risks taken in Rhode Island by com
panies doing business On the mutual plan
In 1898 was 1886, 354, no; the premiums
paid amounted to S3,35S, 2O7; the losses
paid amounted to 81, 0l9, 1928; and the cash
premiums returned amounted to SO, 577,
705. While these figures of the mutual
companies do not show absolutely the
comparative worth of these companies, as
compared with stock companies, they make

ponses of managing insurance are greatly
decreased
This is but new presentation, and o
clear one, of an old idea. 1t is not written
to begrudge companies their accumula
tions, which are spent where they do much
good but it is ample proof that fire insur
ance can be made very profitable. The
writer OF this pamphlet believes that the
money now paid in dividends to stock
holders would more than cover the ex
pensts Of conducting all fire insurance, II

ance business 1t Is not a simple matter,
1t may not even be practicable. 1t Ger
tainly is logical and Ineligible. The
aggregate waste Of S37, 900, 900 which
the Rhode Island companies spend for
current expenses is stated to be more
than enough to manage the United State,
navy, including the repair of old ships
and the building of new ones. and to be
about seven per cent of the entire annual
cost of the national government.
