HOUSTON HOME JOURNAL BY J. T. WATERMAN. J. T. WATERMAN, EYEBY Thursday morning, small the amount required, is essential to complete the development of tho '•aOpl 'These miner; Jjpffitel:: u e o s very, : both in quantity and quality, in diuer- ent plants, and even in diffefent parts of the same plant, and at different sea* soni-of the- year. - Thus -wheat -when burned, gives’L18. per cent of ash ? cOnstituenfe: ■ oats 2.58; potatoes, 2.

Some of these substances exist abun dantly in the composition of most soils, and do not liavo.tOlje renewed: while others, streh as potash, phos phoric acid, lime, -ni&gnesia, &c.,' aro found only ini small quantities and tiro soon exhausted by continual cropping. Hence it follows that any' material which Contains these elements -wonld be valuable as a fertilizer. Wood ashes contain these largely, especially - potash, the most of which is in a solu- ablo condition. According- to • tho statement of Professor Watson, ashes usually yield about- one-fifteenth'of their weight in potash, but different plants and’ different parts of the samo plant vary greaily iii the yield-of pot ash. Stockhardt, in his ‘‘field leet- ; ures,’ 1 - states that 1,000 pounds of dried mass contain: Wheat, ripe grain and straw, 5f pounds; potash, barley7, oats 7, peas 11, potatoes (tubers and haulm) 22, clover in flower 20. It will be easy to calculate from- thd above figures the amount of potash ta ken from the land by the -crop from one acre. It is also easy to See tho great-value of potash in agriculture; and what crops wilt be most benefited ; by its application. ’ Indeed, some plants, such as potatoes, Indian com, the grape vine, flourish- only where potash is abundant, and are co nse-r • quently called “potash plants.” ■ The analysis of the nsh of harifWood i showsthat all the mineral substances ; necessary for the growth- of plants ■ can be easily and cheaply furnished, ■ if we can buy unleached hard'wood ashes at 25 cents per busheL The great'advantage wood ashes have over otherffnineral manure is that they con- I tain-not one or two bntall the ininer- al constituents of plants.

They i should be used, however as soon after - leaching as possible, as the longer they i stand, the less valuable they become. > A cord of leached ashes is said to eon- - tain-about 147 pounds of phosphoric , acid, and 41 pounds of oxide magne- l nesia, 1.557 of carbonic acid, 181 of sdex, 21 of oxide of iron, 50 of potash, , 2.227 of lime. * i Ashes are' most valuable for grass f lauds; the cereal grains, and potatoes. 1 When applied to grain they give sriff- t ness to the straw and prevent it from t lodging, 100 pounds ashes bein g suffi- 3 dent for -the production oi 1,0U0 . -pounds of good straw; The best way to. apply the leached ashes is to spread them evenly from the cart after the negroes or whites as-they deemed the element of the South.

At this ban- quel; appeared Ben Hill—the redoubt able Ben—to the very great surprise of everybody. Ben also made a speech, in which he declared that he had nev er been a Democrat, and added that if he had ever said anything to indicate sympathy with the “unterrified” it was purely a sEp of the tongue. But Ben could not deny that he had abused ex-Govemor Joe Brown, excoriated Bullock, and flayed the Radicals gen erally during that memorable cam paign, beginning with the passage of the Reconstruction laws and ending with the election of Grant. At the afore-mentioned dinner Ben hobnobb ed with Joe Brown, fraternized with Bullock and drank wine with Game- ton. Ye shades of departed recon struction, why was this?
