insOluble.
Bone black, known also as bone
charcoal, is extensively used in rein

refining purposes, and are then sold as
a fertilizer. 1t is made by heating
bones in closed vessels; the fat, water

phosphoric acid mostly insoluble.
Bone-meal goes under various names,
such as ground bone, bone-four, bone
dust, etc. Raw bone-meal contains the
fat naturally present in bones. The
presence Of the fat is Objectionable,
because it retards the decomposition of
the bone in the soil, while fat itself
has no value as plant-food. The pres-v
ence of easily decaying nitrogen COM
pounds in bone hastens, in the process
of decomposition, to dissolve more or
less of the insoluble phosphate. Bone
meal should contain from to per
cent of nitrogen, and from 20 to 25 per
cent of phosphoric acid; about one
third to one-fourth of the latter ap-

therefore, these forms of plant-food
we're largely removed, there was moth
ing for the land-plaster to act upon, in
order to increase the supply Of availa-
Bile food material. The land plaster
furnished no needed food but simply
helped the crop to use more rapidly
the store of plant-food present in the
soil.
Direct Fertilizers,-Direct fertilizers
contain forms Of plant-food, which
contribute directly to the growth and
substance of plants. Such materials
may contain either nitrogen, or potash,
or phosphoric acid compounds, or any
two, or all three of these forms of
plant-food.
Nitrate of soda, known as "Chili
saltpeter,' is found in large deposi is
which have been formed in the rain
less regions of Chill and Peru. Good
commercial nitrate of soda contains
from 1914 to 16 per cent of nitrogen.
Sulphate of ammonia is formed from
waste materials produced in the manu-
facture of Illuminating gas or coke.
Sulphate of ammonia contains about
Is per cent Of ammonia, which is
equivalent to about 2Oh per cent Of
nitrogen.
Cotton seed meal is the product
formed by removingthe oilfrom cotton
seed by pressure, after which the ma,
terial is dried and ground. Cotton seed
meal contains about Z per cent of nj
trogen, per cent of phosphoric acid,
and 2 per cent of potash. The hulls
of the cotton seed also possess consid-
cradle fertilizing value.
Tobacco stems are the refuse from
tobacco factories. They contain usu>

to per cent of nitrogen, and a small
quantity of phosphoric acid.
Dried blood consists of blood obtain

prepared for market by evaporating,
drying and grinding. The color varies
from red to black. Dried blood con-
tains from 10 to Is per cent of nitro

Dried fish, scraps and ground fish
consist of refuse from fish-oil works

Description of Fertilizer Materials.

indirect Fert1llZerS.-A StmIllant or
indirect fertilizer is one which does not
in itself furnish directly to the soil any
needed plant.food, but whose chief
value depends upon the power 1t pos
sesses. of changing unavailable into
available forms of plant-food. The
stimulant or indirect fertilizers which
have been most commonly employed
are lime, gypsum and common saN.
Gypsum, or land-plaster, known also
as calcium sulphate or sulphate of
of nitrifica ton, by which ammonia and
the nitrogen of organic matter are CON-
verified into nitric acid and nitrates. It
also acts upon the insoluble forms Of
potash and other elements of plant
food, converting them into soluble and
available forms: it is of value on GER
tain soils to certain crops, such as c'O-
yer, peas, 1ucerne and similar plants.
Quicklime or burnt lime, or calcium
oxide, commonly called lime, produces
changes in both the physical and the
chemical character of soils. Freshly
burned lime acts chemically upon soils
by decomposing vegetable and mineral
matter already present in the soil and
changing them into IOrms which are
available as food for the plant. Thus,
lime acts upon insOluble mineral sub
stances containing potash, etc., and
converts them into soluble forms.
Lime aids in the decomposition Of AM
NAL and vegetable matter, such as veg
etable mold, stable manure, etc., and
tends to convert them into available
plant-food In using lime, care should
be taken not to use too large quantities
at a time, and, ordinarily, it is best to
use it in connection with liberal appli-
cations of nutritive fertiliZing sub
stances. Lime can be used to advan-
tage on freshly drained swamp-lands
and also ON lands newly cleared.
Common salt has an indirect fertiliz-
ing value which is mainly due to the
fact that it has the power of changing
unavailable forms of plant-fOOd, es-
pecially potash, into available forms.
Danger in Using Stimulant Fertile
ers.-It should be kept in mind that
these stimulant fertilizers-that is,
gypsum Tor plaster) lime, and SALT
are not used for the plant-food contain
ed in them; hence, as used, they do not
furnish needed plant-food. The chief
value Of their use lies in the fact that
they can change unavailable into
available forms of food-plant. 1t can
readily be seen that when stimulant
fertilizers are used exclusively for a
term of years, the soil each year loses
nitrogen, potash and phosphoric acid,
which are not replaced. The 1nevita-
BILE result of such treatment is the ex-
haustion Of these important food con-
stituents from the soil. This affords
an explanation of the question often
raised now as to why the application of
land-plaster does not give such results
in crop yields at present as in former
days. When land-plaster was the only
fertiliZing material added to soils for
years in succession, it was possible to
produce increased crops, so long as

Consul Overt at Lyons Gives an Interest
ing Description.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-Consul John
G. Overt has written from Lyons to the
state department an interesting letter
on the new uses of glass. In it he tells
of pavements of ceramic stone or de-
vitrifed glass which have been laid on
principal street thoroughfares in Lyons
and which under heavy and continuous
traffic for several months have shown
no greater deterioration than marks the
similar life of stone pavements. He says
glass is being made into material
known as ceramo-crystal and is being
widely used for buildings and interior
decorations, much as cut stone. The
new material possesses all the intrinsic
qualities, physical and chemical, of
glass, except transparency, and at the
same time is made to resist crushing,
frost, heavy shocks and to stand usage.
A proposition to erect glass houses or a
luminous palace at the Paris exposition
next year will likely be pushed and the
building will present completely the
possibilities of glass as structural ma
terial.

PARIS, Feb. 20.-Everything is very

that Faure's death is misfortune at
the present juncture. and this is the
conventional talk. They have all looked
forward to having soon to resign, and
they spoke of the possible effect of his
death on the courts of Europe.

twelve days of the session left all sena-
tors appreciate the necessity of very
strict and close attention to business in
order to get through the bills which all
admit must become laws in order to
prevent an extra session of congress.
Very rarely has it occurred that there
has been so many important measures
on the senate calendar so short time
before final adjournment of the last ses-
sion of congress. There are, however,
only comparatively very few of these
bills outside of the appropriation bills,
which must necessarily be acted upon
before adjournment, and if the senate
disposes of these
With the Same Facility
that it has used in getting rid of other
important bills during the past week,
the session will be closed up in good Or
der and with time to spare. The army
reorganization bill and the census bill
are in reality the only two measures
aside from the appropriation bills upon
which action would seem absolutely
necessary. The census bill has passed
both houses and is now in conference
and is reasonably sure of enactment in
some shape.
The army bill is yet to receive the at
tention of the senate. Other measures
which will be pressed to certain ex-
tent are the Alaskan code bill, the Ha-
waiian territorial organization bill and
various other bills pertaining to Hawaii.
