Clif^ontljmi ilrrortcr D^rwuUural department, PHOXPimE:* ac<i SL'PEKPHOSPniTES. Bj Prof. P. B. WiL son, of Baltimore The discovery of the vast deposit of fossil bone in South Carolina has not resulted as it was reasonably supposed it should, in giving the ag riculturist a cheap and reliable source of material for the base ol artificial fertilizers, viz : phosphoric acid. Not but that these fossils are truly rich in “hone phosphate of lime.” from which manures derive their value, when properly prepared and rendered soluble, but from the careless manner in which they are thrown upon the market, in not hav ing the foreign matter removed from them, thereby deteriorating their v;d ue for the manufacture of concen trated fertilizers. These fossils, when properly wash ed and cleansed from sand and rntnl, should yield Irom GO to 65 per c< lit. of bone phosphate of lime, but as found in commerce, either in the ground stale or in bulk, they rarely yield more than 55, and frequently under 50 per cent. Another and far greater difficulty is their want of solubility; virtually and chemically speaking, they con tain their phosphoric acid combined with lime, precisely in the same state as in the fresh bones oi the ox, horse or sheep, while the jhysicat prope: ties ol the combination is far different, anil this difference deter* mines their value for muuuriul pur poses. The difference in the physical properties of bodies—having the s.nne chemical composition—in re lation to the same solvents, presents ilsell almost daily to the chemist, so that in regard to the solubility or in solubility of phosphates of lime de pendent upon the source from which they arc derived, is not an anomoly. Fresh bone, either containing or tie- I rrived of animal mattcl, when fine- y ground, will after the first year’s application to the soil, be gradually dissolved by the rains, and the ga* seous matter absorbed by the soil, and supply slowly the needed food for vegetation, while the same chang es in the fossil bone, if ever occur* ring, would be long and tedious, not repaying.the farmer for the labor and money he has expended in til* ling his lands. Even this stale of superior solubility in recent bone in comparison to the fossil or mineral phosphates, has been proven by ex* pcrience to be inadequate to the de mand of growing plants, and the sol ubility of hone needed tube increas ed. To produce this change, the nat ural combination of three parts of lime to one of phosphoric acid is de composed with sulphuric acid, which has greater altiinily for the lime than the phosphoric acid has; therefore, sulphuric acid is added in sufficient quantity to combine with two parts of ,lime, thus giving a mixture of gypsum, or ordinary land plaster, and an exceedingly soluble pirns* phate, being a combination of one part of lime, and tw’o of water. This phosphate, when used ns a tcrtiliz er, by corning in contact with the constituents of the soil, may become more or less insoluble, yet the cohe sive forces or physical properties ol the combination arc so slight, in comparison with that originally of the bone phosphate, that the rains and atmospheric influences readily yield it to vegetation, as it is needed. Fossil and mineral phosphates are as applicable, and as valuable, as a source for the production of the so luble phosphates, as the natural bone, with the advantage to the ag riculturist of not having more than one-fourth of their market value, from the unlimited supply in the vast extent of deposit found in vari ous parts of the world. This cheap ness of raw material has been taken advantage of to a greater or less ex tent, by large manufacturers, for substituting the mineral for the ani mal phosphates, without properly rendering them soluble, not unfre- quently claiming for “superphos phales” a large admixture ol raw bone when really they contain none, although the careless and superficial results of the inexpert chemist may show large quantities of bone phos* phate of lime, without stating wheth er of animal or mineral origin. It can be readily seen from these facts that any one choosing a good article for immediate or future bene ficial results should not place too much value upon the insoluble hone phosphates the fertilizers may con tain, when the origin is doubtful. There can be no questioning the great value of these concentrated fertilizers, from the favor w ith which they have been received in Euro pean countries, where their system of agriculture is more accurate and economical titan with us. With their dense population, every inch of ground must be made to produce for ihe army of tonsy tneri in their work shops and cities, w!m> return bus lit tie directly to the n p.odnctioti of the products of the soil. Again, it must be taken into con sideration the facility, and with what comparatively little expense, these concentrated fertilizers are applied. A few hundred pounds will suffice where thousands «>t pounds of sta ble manure would be required, and yet when ll e crop is gathered a prof itable yield has rewarded the agri culturist therefor. Taking into con sideration the value of these ptios- phatic fertilizers, the following sug gestions in regard to their prepara tion arc given: The lossil, or South Carolina phos phate, as it is usually called, should be finely ground—that which passes through a 28 or 30 mesh sieve is preferable. To 100 pounds of this, thoroughly moistened with 32 pounds of water and thrown upon aboard or clay floor, add 50 pounds of com mercial sulphuiic acid (of Of* de grees in strength) slowly, after each addition, turning the mass until the whole has been added; then thor oughly incorporate the mixture un til every particle of the solid matter has come in contact with the acid, to insure its conversion into soluble phosphate. During the addition of the acid a violent chemical action lakes place; the vapor of water mixed with gases resulting from the destruction of some animal matter that these phosphates still retain passes off*. Two cautious are given above : first, in regard to the fineness of the phosphate; second, that it should be thoroughly moistened with a given quantity of water. These are abso lutely necessary f>r successful man ipulation. If in too coarse a powder, and the acid is used too strong, the moment they come in contact, and in the act of the liberation of the phos phoric acid, an impervious coaling of sulphate of lime or gypsum is formed, effectually resisting any further action of the sulphuric acid in rendering that portion of the un- decornposed material soluble imme diately under this coaling. The gypsum having a great affinity for water, it is absolutely necessary to have the sulphuric acid so fardiluted that there will he a slight excess of moisture to keep the gypsum in a plastic condition m til complete de composition has taken place. As thus prepared, this superphosphate will contain in the moist condition 12 per cent, ol soluble phosphoric acid, but ii ocacsionally stirred, or opened out to dry, it will he increas ed to 14 per cent and he in a pulver ulent condition, to be mixed with one-half or two-thirds of muck, hu mus matter, ashes, raw bone, or oth er available material. Bone is converted into superphos phate by the same manner of man ipulation, hut the quantity ofsulphu ric acid is reduced to 45 pounds, and the water to 27 pounds—as hone, on an average, does not contain over 54 per cent, of hone phosphate of lime.—American Farmer. for a successful result. The second tn.-thod in which thoroughly’ dried earth or road dus' is used as an ah sm heut of redundant moisture, is a safe mode, where other circumstan ces are favorable; but as suitable cellars arc infrequently to he found in our land, and as outhouses are not always to he relied on for the saleix ol such contents, that method cannot he recommended f >r general practice. The third method will rarely bring a crop salelr through the winter, and only in a very fa vorable seasons. The fourth is prac ticed with great success by farmers in tire mountain regions of Tennes see and some other States, who have access to naturally formed caves.— The filth plan is excellent, and where a suitable ateep side-hill is so near the farm house as to fill ike condi tion ol safety and convenience, it is very desirable, as it answers an ad mirable purpose as a repository for all root crops, such ss heats, turnips, &c.

Dec ID-fit ——W»T| adcf.ii tisf. .vests' ’ AND Tbt Bril Xclhod of Sariag a Crop of Irish Polatoei, aid ihi Sinner of flnnling a Steond Crop. Premium F.ssay at the Atlanta Fair. BT A. C. VAN EPPS—ATLANTA, GA. Any process for saving the Irish potato should commence immediate ly alter digging the crop. A single hours exposure to the sun inducer early decay and loss. The external moisture is so slight that it is of little consequence, whatever method may he resorted to for t Leir preservation may be briefly recited as follows; each of which has its advocate : Various Methods in Practice. 1. Placing in banks or hills, as w.tli the sweet polaloc, covering with dry straw and earth, and shel tering from rain. 2. Storing in a dry cellar or out house, out ef danger of frost; the inlerspaces in the hulk being filled up with dry earth or dust, gathered up from a dusty road elsewhere, and the top covered with a few inches of the same mrtcria). 3. Packing in barrels with suita ble holes cut m the sides to facilitate the evaporation of excess of mois ture ; the barrels stored under shel ter and out of the reach of frost. 4. Storing in natural caves where the grower has access to such a con venience and covered with dry straw, mouth of the cave being closed sufficiently to exclude beasts, but left open enough for the free admis sion of air. 5. Storing in an artificial cave or cellar dug into the side of a hill; the top or ceiling supported by logs or hewed limber, when necessary ; for opening being left under thedoor an the free admission of air, and a funnel or flue through the top for the escape of vitiated air. The principles which should guide the grower in saving the potato are these : The temperature should be straw of a thickness of at least three inches when packed down should be placed underneath, and a cover ing of the same material of at least six inches when packed should be placed over all from bottom to lop, alter which the surrounding earth should lie placed on the pile to a depth at least ten inchrs, commenc ing at the bottom with the full thick ness, and carrying it up as in build ing a wall; otlierw ise, if the earth be thrown nt one on the top it will dis place the straw. Alter completing the cone, an opening should he made down to the straw on the top, or a block or a stone may first he laid on the straw to he afterwards removed. This is Ibr trie purpose of greater ventilation until thesweating process is completed. About ten clays alter, this opening should be closed. As many as filly bushels may he placed in a bank, but a less quantity is to be preferred. As soon as the bank is completed it should be secuiely covered Irom rain and sun, but lefi open all around fora free circulation of air. Any leak in the roof will cause decay or sprouting, or both. Thoroughly dry pine straw answers a good purpose when other straw is at hand. Planting the Second Crop. It is needles* to undertake the planting of a second crop unless the first was of some one of the early varieties, arid which had been plan ted early, say not later than the ear ly part of March. The most desira ble variety for this purpose that has been cultivated to any considerable extent in the South is the Early Hose, and it is the best variety for all pur poses yet introduced. It is of good size, fine form, extrerneiy productive, and its quality for table use unsur passed. It will grow in any soil adapted to the potato, but the best soil yields the he*l return in propor tion to labor or money expended.— The special manures for the Irish potato ar« ammonia and potash. If the land lobe planted needs fertiliz ing matter, some lorrn of it contain ing these ingredients should he chos en ; The bsc of fresh stable mature for the second crop should h« avoid ed, although it may be safely used in abundance for the first crop early in the season, if it be at first covered at least three inches in depth in the trench or hill before the seed is dropped. In this case no additional fertilizer is needed for the second crop but lime and ashes, if used, will aid much in making available the fertil izing matter left from the stable lit ter of the first crop. Time of Planting the Second Crop. The writer has tested this year these two modes of planting for a second crop: 1st. Planting at once on digging the first crop in June, \v hen the vines of the Early Rose were dry and the tubers in full maturity. The large were cut into quarters and halves and the smaller planted whole, and on the same ground from which they were dug. 2nd. Another poition were re moved to an outhouse with complete ventilation, the bulk spread out in a few inches in thickness and dasled over with slacked lime to dry up ex ternal moisture. These were kept for about four weeks and planted on the 15lh of July in well prepared trenches. At that time a few had sprouted very slightly.—Rural South erner. A Thought for Boys.—A great many boys complain that there are no places. Perhaps it is hard to gel such a< you like. But when you get a place—and there are places—this big country, we are sure, has need ef every good boy and girl, and man and woman in it—when you get a Furnishing Goods. We keep the best of every thing in our line, ar.d will be sure to please you if you will give us a trial. K March 1871.
