should certainly find all those elements

toned, however, we should also find in
the ashes of the plant silica, chlorine,
soda and manganese, and sometimes a
few other elements, though none of
these last are absolutely necessary to
the growth and development of plant
life.
These ash elements, as we may call
them, are ali derived from the soil.
Ninety-five per cent of the dry matter
of the plant comes out of the air. and is
derived from the gases whi5A exist in
the air, the remaining per cent of the
dry matter being the ashes which come
out of the soil. So you see the mineral
part, which comes from the soil, is only
a very small part of the original plant,
but yet it is just as essential to the life
and growth of the plant as any or all
of the others.
Perhaps you would like to know how
it was discovered that the air furnished
a large part of the dry matter of the
plant. An experiment like this was
made Some white sand was thor.

then thoroughly washed with acid and

the original grain of corn, and also that
this excess weight consisted entirely of
carbon hydrogen and oxygen; conse-
quently, they must have come from the
air and water, as they could have come
from no other source.
The atmosphere contains a great
abundance of these elements, carbon,
hydrogen and oxygen, which are so nee
essary to plant life, so that it will not be
necessary for Us to trouble about them III

they are given without mouey and

The ash elements which make only
per cent of the dry matter of the crop,
will concern US very nearly, and as they
come out of the soil, will write you in
my next letter about the soil and its
elements-rhose which are abundant,
and those which are scarce.

FACTS ABOUT FERTILIZING.
INTERESTING OBSERVATIONS OF AN
EXPERIENCED CHEMIST.
Valuable Information Learned From
the Books and From an Extensive
Practical Experience.

Practical Experience.
To Georgia Farmer: l wrote you last
year series of letters devoted almost
exclusively to the feeding of live stock,
the preparation of scientific racions and
to the general principles underlying the
scientific feeding of stock. AS you have
asked me so many questions about ferti-
lizers, 1 propose now to write you Sc
ries of letters ON that subject, giving
you the benefit of what l may have
learned from books and from my exper-
fence as an agricultural chemist.
AS the prime object of farming and
of fertilization is the raising of crops,
we will begin by considering briefly
plant life.
What is plant? Let US examine and
make a rough analysis of one. Pull up
q green and vigorous plant, brush
the dirt from the roots and throw it
down upon the ground with the rays Of
the sun beating upon it. Soon it as
sumes a peculiar appearance, which
we call "wilted." Had you taken the
precaution TO weigh the plant when you
first pulled it up and then weighed it
again after few hours, when it looked
badly wilted, you would find that it had
lost weight. BY putting the fresh
plant under a specially constructed
glass vessel and setting it in the sun,
you could prove to your own satlsfac-
ton that the cause of the loss in weight
was due to the loss of water. The wa
ter in the plant heated by the sun rises
as vapor, and if you had the special
glass vessel I speak ofyou could see the
water of the cotton plant condense i'll
the cool part of the vessel in drops
which you could collect and weigh; and
if you were provided with sufficiently
delicate instruments, you would find
the weight of this condensed water
from the cotton plant was exactly
equal to the loss in weight which it
sustained after being badly wilted.
Young plants and vegetables fire.
quently contain as much as nine-tenths
Of their weight of water.
In making hay we dry out the water
of the grass in the sun, and when the
grass has lost all the water it will in this
way, it is said, be "cured, and becomes
hay. This air dry grass or hay still
contains from to - per cent of water,
which can be driven out Of it by heating
it to the temperature of boiling water.
If we should do that, what was left
would be the ''dry matter" of the plant.
This dry matter of the plant contains
all the valuable elements for which the
plant was grown. If we examine this
dry matter further, we find in a general
way that it is composed Of two kinds of
bodies, one of which will burn, or the
combustible, and another kind which
will not burn, the incom buStible or the
ash That part Of the plant which burns
or goes up in smoke is derived very
largely from the air, and is gaseous in
its nature.
If, now, we were to anaiyzs s.ase
gases which escape on burning the
plant. and tnen analyze the ash which
was left, we should find that, besides the

FUM|GAT|NG THE VESSELS
THREE WERE DISPOSED OF
YESTERDAY.
Apparatus is Working Well-Three
Hours Required in Which to Rid, Boat
OF Rats.

DR.. Golfer has had excellent oppOrtuni-
ty this week to test the new fumigating
apparatus at the Quarantine wherf.
Yesterday, no less than three sailing
vessels were fumigated and today, sew
eral others are to receive the same
treatment.
The banks Mohican. c. d. Bryant and
schooner Aloha were given injections of
sulphur yesterday and the schooner
Rosamond was finished this morning.
The work does not appear very fast
to an outsider for three hours are re-
quired in which to thoroughly fumigate
a vessel but when the work is completed
there is little chance of there being any
rats left in her hold. Before the fumi-
eating plant was installed here, it was
planned to put it on an old hulk Sub
sequently the plant was installed on
the quarantine wharf. The apparatus
is quite simple in operation. 1t consists
of the engine rotary fan fire and sui
pher furnace. The sulpher furnace is
entirely separate from the engine, the
latter being used merely to supply the
power for running the fan. Running
from the sulphur furnace, is pipe
about eight inches in size, terminating
in about a four inch pipe at the edge
of the wharf. where the vessel lies.
The fumigating material consists of
sulphur. This material is placed in
the furnace and lighted. After the fire
has gotten under Roadway the rotary
fan is started. This fan revolves at the
rate of 200 to 1900 times a minute, and
is used for the purpose of creating
draught and drawing the sulpheric
fumes out of the furnace, and forcing
them through the pipe, down into the
vessels hold.
Thefumes are conveyed from the reg
ular pipes, into the hold of the vessel
by q section of hose This hose is run
from the jet at the edge of the harbor
down into the hold of the vessel The
matches are then battened down, the
object being to make the ships hull as
air tight as possible. Then, for three
hours, the sulpher is pumped, or rather
famed into the vessel. The operation
is not so very expensive costing prob
ably $15 a vessel. AS soon as vessel
has received this treatment, she is haul
ed away and is soon ready to receive
her cargo.
The present object in fumigating all
of these vessels, is simply to guard
against any possibility of their being
held up by the quarantine officers at
San Francisco or whatever other coast
port they may be going. DR., Golfer, the
local quarantine officer is able to give
them bills of health, over which there
can not be the slightest suspicion and
which will cause the vessels to be T8ss-
ed by the health officer promptly in
spite of any suspicion Of plague at the
Departing port.
