The Manufacture ot Saltpetre.
HOW TO ASCERTAIN THE PRESEXC3 OF SALTPE
TRE IN EARTH.
Take the earth that you may-wish to test,
and pass water through it; then add lye—
made of e.maon wood ashes—to the water
until the c/*ud«ny ceases; afterwards boil
down the water until it is thick, then immerse
a slip of paper in the wa'er, which, when
thorsnghly dried, apply to a live coa of fire
—if it burns with a crasking noise the earth
has more or lets saltpetre in it. Nearly all
the limestone caves in Eist Tennessee and
Western Virgin a. that are free from running
wat*r or drips, contain more or less saltpetre.
HOW TO MAKE SALTPETRE.
Put up four hoppers, such as are used in
uaaiitig lye, fill them with pulver zed saltpe
tre ea th, pass the aams water through No 1
twicr, and onoe—it being the third time
passed through saltpetre earth —through No.
2. After the beer, as it is called by saltpetre
makers, has settled, draw it off iato another
vessel and add common lay to it until it ceases
to curdle or cloud, then it may bo boiled u»iil
it thickens, or nntil a drop o the beer thrown
en a edd surface crystaliza*. The beer should
then be suffered to cool, when the saltpetre
will form in beautiful white crystals. Th*
saltpetre should then be dried in the tun, and
afterwards put up iu'bags or boxes for ship
ment.
The mother beer—after th* crystaiized salt
petre has bcefl taken out—should bo put back
in the boiler again, for it contains cosc-idera-
bie saltpetre not cryetaiizid. Should tho Salt
petre have a dingy color, it is because too
mush le has been put in it The petre may
be purified by soaking it in a tub of e'ear water,
and in that easa the water should afterwar s
be put into the boiler, bscaure it coutsins a
great deal of the saltpetre in solution.
It will bo remembered that the beer, follow
ed through the entire process of manufacture,
was first passed through hopper No. 1 twice,
and then once through hopper No. 2. This
was done to give a beer holding a large quan
tity of saltpetre ia Solution, and thereby ma
king the boiling proejss that much less. Now,
ta keep this up, pass the Water through No. 1,
then through No. 2, and afterwards through
No. ?, and thence to the boiler* Now, No. 1
has beeu dripped turoe times, asd is exhaust
ed of saltpatre. aad may ho cm, tied and re
filled with new earth. While this ia being
done to No. 1, pass water through No 2, then
through No. 3, and lastly through No. 4, and
then to the boiler. No. 2 may now ba re
filled, and while it is bsiag done, pass water
through No. 3, then through No. 4, then
4, then through No. 1, and then to the
boiler. By this mode you always have one
hopper beiag refilled with new earth, and ma
king the beer for the boiler wituaut a stop.
You can increase the number of hoppers to
twelve if you have three hands, and then you
can make a proper divisiea of the work—one
engaged in bailing, on* refilling the h«ppsrs,
and the third making lye. Y/ken the earth
contains an average amount of saltpetre,
throe hand* esa make about one hundred lbs.
per day
The government is giving 60 cents per po’d
for all saltpetre delivered at any depot on a
railroad, in go-sd coadition for transportation
on the ears, until the fi.st day ef January,
156S, and payment will be made on the re
eeipt of the depot agent, by any qBartermas-
ter in the Confederate service.
F. S.—Common aluin may be us*d ti crjs-
talixe the saltpetre instead of lye, but the
writer ia not familiar with the uss of alum in
makiag sal-petre, and therefore cannot give
fit quantity to be ured. The manufacturer
can experiment ua’.i. he gete th* prsper pro
portion.
