the insoluble form and how readily avail

narly prepared carry from 80 to 40 per
cent. of lime. This lime has. the same

ashes have decided effect upon the
capillary power Of the soils. If a solu-
ton of carbonate of potash, such as
potash OF wood ashes, is poured upon
loan, 1t will be made muddier and stick
Ter than it would be ii nloistened with
water. Investigations show that aka
line solutions seem TO loosen the parti-
cles of the clayey soil from the particles
OF sand and float off the clay particles,
and thus fill up the spaces between the
sand grains. As result of this clogging
OF the pores, the circulation of the water
alkali is sometimes of great practical
Importance Is attested by the fact that
| soils are met with in which the particles
OF clay are held SO closely to the grains
of sand that the soil has the appearance
and properties of a sandy soil. although
1t actually may contain as much clay as
many so-called clay soils. Carbonate Of
potash has tendency to keep clay in a
''puddled' condition.
Potash salts also have a decided action
upon soil nitrogen. These alkaline soiu-
tons have great power to dissolve or
ganic matters, and render unavailable nj

to promote rank growth is Well illustrat-

The rankness of growth which follows is
probably due not only to the availa BILE
potash returned 10 the soil but also to
the abundant supply Of heterogeneous food
made available by the action of the alkali
upon the soil hHmus and to the fact that
alkali has tendency to retain moisture
! AS the presence OF an alkali favors the
growth Of the fungus which produces
potato scab. ashes should be used with
large care on land where crop Of pota-
toes is to be grown.
A bushel of good unleached hard wood
ashes weighs about IS pounds, and on the
average contains about four pounds OF
potash, Il pounds OF phosphoric acid and
IS pounds OF lime. Ashes of commerce
usually carry about half this amount of
potash.
/ Wet ashes are not much more compact
than dry. While a bushel of wet ashes
weighs considerably more than a bushel
Of dry ashes, the difference is chiefly due
to the water A bushel of wet or leached
ashes contains about 90 pounds Of dry

the ashes have been stored 1t is also
possible that many of the so-called "un-

leached. Ashes. when bought in any
quantity, should always be purchased
under a definite guaranty of potash
