the bone and sheaf, were registered as the
trade mark in the L. S. Patent office. In
1882 $4,000 was added to the plant in
buildings and machinery for manufacturing
ammoniated phosphates. In June, 1884,
William H. Mackall, of Eikton, became a
member Of the firm, purchasing third in
teiest The fertilizer business was extended,
eight regular brands OF goods being made
at that time In 1887 the business was in
corporated as the Scott Fertilizer Company,
with Frank X. Scott, President, and Will
liam II. Mackall, Vice-President, which
positions they still hold. The company
now manufacturers eighteen brands of fer
tilizers, selling its product principally in
Pennsylvania Maryland and Delaware,
with some trade in Virginia, West Virginia,
New York and New Jersey.
Shipments have also been made to Canada
and Florida.

Sulphate of Ammonia is produced from gas
liquor, and is also by product in the man
ufacture of bone black. 1t tests about %
per cent. Ammonia, and is worth from $50
TO $50 per ton. Sulphate is largely inn
ported from England. Nitrate of Soda tests
10 per cent Ammonia, and is imported
from Chile; it is worth from S35 to
$40 per ton, aud during our war with
spain the price went up to $40. Europe
imports nearly 1000 600 tons OF Nitrate an
nually. Dried Blood tests from 10 to II
per cent. Ammonia; Tankage and Fish from
9 to II per cent. Ammonia.
Sulphate of Ammonia, Nitrate of Soda
and Dried Blood are largely used in high
fertilizers for tobacco potatoes and truck
crops.
Tankage and Fish are used more largely
in Fertilizers for grain.
The Scott Fertilizer Company use all
these materials, and produces special fertil-
iZers for all the crops named. Their Potato
Grower contains 10 to II per cent. Actual
Potash, and their Lancaster Tobacco
Grower, to 10 per cent. both in the form
of high grade Sulphate. The Ammonia in
these brands is derived from Nitrate Of
Soda and Fine Ground Dried Blood The
brand known as Tip Top Soluble Bone was
credited with the highest analysis in 1899
by the State Chemist of Delaware, OF any
Acid Phosphate sold in that State. In
1898, in Maryland, it reached the highest
analysis among fifty three brands analysed,
and in Pennsylvania, only one other brand
equaled it in one hundred and fifty three
tests.

The company owns and operates the
schooner, Edith W. Scott" which is used
in freighting materials to the factory and
in delivering manufactured goods. In 1894
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company built
siding into the works OF the Company
which, in connection with the water com
muncation at the factory, affords excellent
shipping facilities. While the fertilizer
business has passed through a season Of
great depression, it is now in greatly im-
proved condition, and the outlook for the
future of the industry is much brighter.
The sales Of The Scott Fertilizer Company
in 1898 showed a considerable increase over
any previous year, and the increase in 1899
over 1898 was about 1900 tons Nearly the
full capacity of the factory in producing
goods had been reached.
In the manufacture Of fertilizers, the
phosphoric acid is derived principally from
animal bone and phosphate rock. Animal
bone tests about % per cant. Insolu6le
Phosphoric Acid; steamed bone, % per
cent. Bone ash and bone black, 50 per
cent. S. C. Phosphate Rock tests about %
per cent. Insolvble Phosphoric Acid Flor
| ida and Tennessee Rocks of the best quail
ity, about 35 per cent
When properly treated with sulphuric
acid, Ground Raw Bone and Steamed Bone
show from , to 3 per cent. Ammonia, and
from Is to 10 per cent. Available Phos-
phoric Acid. Bone Ash and Bone Black,
when dissolved with acid, show II to 2C
| per cent. Available Phosphoric Acid, but
no Ammonia, as it is lost in burning.
South Carolina Phosphate Rock when
ground to the condition of flour, and prop
erly treated with acid, yields If to Is pei
cent Available Phosphorio Acid, and the
Tennessee and Florida Rocks, of the best
grades, from II to 90 per cent.
The discovery of the phosphate deposits
in the South, was the most important agri.
cultural discovery Of the age, and has re.
duced the price of commercial fertilizers al
least one half. Several millions of dollars
capital are invested in phosphate mining,
and work is provided for thousands oil
laborers. In 1898 1,439, $50 tons of phos,
phate rock were mined in the United
States, of which 542, 900 tons were exported
to foreign countries. Germany got 206, DOC
tons; the United Kingdom 102, 900; Hol-
land Ga, 900; Belgium 81, 600. Italy $4,000
Japan II ,775 tons, etc.
Algeria, Tunis and Belgium have phos-
phosphate deposits, and the total produc-
ton in 1898 was about 100000 in add.
ton to the quantity produced in the
United States.
Potash salts are imported from Germany
The mines OF the Kali Works are at Stass
furt, and these and the works OF the com.
pany give employment to 10000 people
Muriate and High Grade Sulphate Of Pot
ash each test 50 per cent. Actual Potash,
and the import value varies from $50 tC
$40 per ton. Both forms are used in high
grade fertilizers, the preference being given
to the High Grade Sulphate for tobacco and
potatoes.

CONSUL MACRUM
HAS DIFFICULTY.
Boer Censorship Interfering
With His Duties.
GIVEN VERY sCANT COURTESY.
Transvsal People Evidently Believe That
as He Is Serving Great Britain
He Is Their Natural
Enemv.

Consul Charles Macrum, of East Liv-
erpool, who is representing both his
own government and that of Great
Britain in Pretoria, is not having an
easy tim Of 1t and experiences diff
Guilty in getting word to America. A
special from Washington says:
The Transvaal government is treating
with scant courtesy Charles Macrum,
United States consel at Pretoria, who,
in addition to representing this gov
ernment, Is temporarily in charge of
the British interests there since the
outbreak of the war. So marked is the
discourtesy that the state department is
seriously annoyed. Some days ago, at
the request of the British government,
the state department cabled to Ma
crum, asking him If the Boer govern
ment would permit him to take charge
of the funds provided by England to
be used solely for the purpose of pro-
viding comforts for the British pris-
oners of war, and in other ways to
ameliorate the condition of these un-
fortunates. Upon transmitting the re-
quest to President Kruger through the
usual diplomatic channels Macrum
was refused curtly, and was informed
that this was not a question to be hand
led by the civil authorities, but that all
arrangements respecting the prisoners
must be made through the generals in
the field. Macrum was powerless to act
farther, of course, and he transmitted
the answer to this government, the
state department in turn forwarding
the communication to London. AL
though anxious for news from South
Africa this government has heard
nothing from Consul Macrum for six
days. 1t is believed here that the Boer
government will not permit him to send
any news of consequence in an open
dispatch, nor will it allow him to use a
cipher. 1t Is supposed that the Boer
officials, knowing that Macrum Is tenn
porarily representing Great Britain,
regard his messages as If they ema-
mated from regular British official and
therefore are exercising their war power
in holding them up.

IsTHMIAN CANAL COMMISSION.
Colonel Ernest Is the First to Get
Away to Europe.


New York August 2.-Lieutenant Colo
mel Oswald II. Ernest. U. S. A, sailed
for Europe in his capacity as member OF
the Isthmian canal commission to look
into the records Of the Panama canal
project. Colonel Ernest will be followed
next week by Admiral Walker Prof. Burr
OF Columbia University and George r.
Morrison. The canal commission has nine
members, but these four were appointed
a committee TO go to Paris and study the
affairs of the Panama canal he result
OF investigation will be embodied in a re-
port to the commission, after which the
Nicaragua canal project will be subjected
TO the same scrutiny. II Will then re-
main with the committee to decide which
canal shall be built by the government.
"Our researches on the other side. said
Colonel Ernest, will be most exhaustive
and thorough and may consume much
time. We will look into the records OF the
canal, consult with French engineers who
have been at work on 1t and md out just
how far the work has zone. Estimates
for the completion OF the canal will also
be considered When a complete investi-
CATION has been made both of the Nlcara-
qua and the Panama canal schemes and
the reports submitted the government will
undoubtedly authorize the completion of
one or the other
