this true of those who have neglected

economy
has been the watchword and making
tlw present crop, and its principles have
been more generally practiced this year
than for several years past. Iu many
instances men have denied themselves
and families necessary comforts. But
the sacrifice seems unavailing, and
farmers, in common with workingmen
of all classes, are suffering, though it
may be in less degree, from the desig¬
nated condition of the times.
But, while much of the present un¬
rest and dissatisfaction can be traced to
defective financial laws, we, as farmers,
must admit that, as a class, we have in¬
vited disaster by ignoring some of the
plainest and simplest business rules.
We readily admit that in onr efforts to
cultivate much of our land, wo are
yearly taxing it beyond that point where
could we expect even under the most
favorable seasons and with the most
persistent and faithful work to realize
more than the cost of production. No
hope of profit, oven under the best sea¬
sons and best management. With un
propitious seasons the result is actual
loss, and oftentimes suffering. Will we
never learn wisdom from hard experi¬
ence, or is the absolute loss of our prop¬
erty and total inability to secure sup¬
plies on time the only sure check on
our
SPECULATIVE SYSTEM OF FARMING?
Our farmers should remember from
their past experience that they cannot
afford to start a crop in the vain hope
that after advancing it to a certain stage,
some one else will he willing to risk the
supplies to keep it going. The mer¬
chant, like the farmer, has drifted along
in the same current, both shutting their
eyes to the dangerous snags all along
their course. He, like ourselves, has
hoped against hope, striving each year
to recover some part of the losses which
ho has borne in the shape of advanced
and unpaid for supplies. Our mutual
hopes have been built upon sand foun¬
dations and the props seem entirely
swept away. The lesson for us as farm¬
ers to learn is, that under existing cir¬
cumstances, it is worse thau folly to at¬
tempt to work our lands under the old
methods, and with supplies obtained on
credit. It must bo evident to every
thinking farmer, in the light of his own
others experience who have and that of hundreds of
bravely struggled and
failed, that if we continue a course so
fraught with danger, nothing but a mir¬
acle will save us from ruin. Let ns
arouse ourselves to our true condition,
and realize at once that if we expect to
make our farming successful and self
supporting, we must follow legitimate
and sensible business rules, and not the
speculative ized plan, which for has character¬
onr management so many years.
Let us
LOOK CAREFULLY OVER THE GROUND
and determine just how much of our
land uuder favorable, or, 1 should say,
average seasons, with careful manago

comforts. We but invite when
we attempt to cultivate land which, de

which l have so often t»t
tered. The first and n grievous, the
on e which has caused te greatest
number of disapixunti; as well as
ciiangs-si the charact i nr soils is
planting the same hunt year after year
in the same cle;ui-ho st ami cultivated
crops, without rest or change. On this
subject I quote the following from the
American Agriculturist, showing how
universal the practice and how impor¬
tant to apply the remedy; his
“The farmer who owns farm is
concerned quite has much for its future
as for its present productiveness. He
cannot afford, even under pressure of
seeming necessity, to sell the fertility of
his land by the bushel until its decreas¬
ing productiveness makes longer cultiva¬
tion impossible. Thousands have gone
this road, and have only found their
mistake when too late to retract their
steps. immediate
“However important re
sui ts may seem, the careful farmer looks
to next year and the year after. It takes
exceptional crops to make the farmer in¬
different to the future of his soil. But
the true economy consists in combining
both immediate and future benefit by
applying manures chiefly to clover and
other crops which themselves add to
soil fertility, and thus make it serve
both ends. It is hero that grain farmers
have an advantage over those who grow
hoed crops exclusively. The farmer who
grows grain can and should always sow
clover with it. Then all the manure he
applies to the grain crop serves a double
purpose. The hoed crop may make the
most money per acre, but, if it is grown
year after year, it demands the yearly
purchase of a large amount of manure.
That will take off the profits. The
alternation of grain seeded with clover,
and then after one or two years growth
the clover plowed hoed under as greeu both mu
nure for some crop, secures
the immediate profit soil which and the permanent good
benefit to the every
farmer se >ks.”
In the mc.-e southern latitudes peas or
rye take the place of the clover.
’ second is the yearly purchase
A error
of large amounts of commercial fertili¬
zer, stock and provisions, partly on time,
in the hope of a few extra bales, forget
ting that when the additional labor and
various other extra items are calculated
the expense account is largely increased,
and when the crops are gathered the ad¬
ditional results are sadly disproportion¬
ate.
The third mistake is included in the
Others—that is, the hazardous experi¬
ment of planting a short provision “luck,” crop
and trusting to our merchant; or
to keep us out. On a farm where plenty
of provisions are planted for there “rotation is always and
renovation,” ample opportunity and where the farmer raises
his own meat and possibly his stock, the
harmony of agricultural relations is ad
justed and maintained year after year,
and the land, instead of retrograding, is
being constantly improved.
We have
EXPLODED THE OLD IDEA
that debts can be paid or money made
on borrowed capital when cotton brings
only 7 or 8 cents. In looking at tlii
question from a business as well as a
agricultural etundixiiut, we eaum
afford to ignore some unpleasant capacity of truths.
The crop producing hinds lms alarmingly our de¬
cultivated
creased; the facilities for reaching newer
and more productive lauds have so
greatly increased as to draw off a large
part of our best farming population: with
these two conditions, combined
our unfortunate financial status and the
low prices prevailing for onr principal general
farm products have caused a
agricultufal depression, ai.d we south¬
ern farmers will be compelled to so
arrange the acreage, character and gen¬
eral direction of our crops as to enable
us to run our farms without incurring
additional indebtedness. Many are seri¬
ously cramped now, and with the de¬
cline in land proauction and in prices
their affairs are becoming more and
more embarrassed. To such the error
of attempting to cultivate large areas
in cotton on borrowed capital is pain¬
fully apparent.
We should cultivate only such land as
experience has such taught us will produce
well, and in crops as are suited to
onr soils and the demands of home and
available markets. We should resolve
not to be swerved from this position by
any favorable or sudden change in the
general market prices, for it is the policy
sanctioned by experience, common sense
and onr natural surroundings.
At this season, when the crops are
nearly or about gathered, each farmer
should determine upon the
PROPER PLAN
for him to pursue for another season,
and then direct his energies to their ac¬
complishment. The fall and winter
plowing should go ou wherever the land
is in proper condition. Very little at-
I tention has heretofore been Riven to
this work, because of she character of
our crops, they occupying tae lanl un .1

In some cases, where there is an ab
sence of vegetable matter and the land
is disposed to -‘run together,” this plow
ing may have to be repeated in the
spring, but in the meantime the land
has been put in condition to yield up ad
.ditional plant food, when needed. A

gather a supply of plait food which,
combined wicu the prep ued fertilizers,
will produce astonishing results. Build
up pastures, and provide for the comfort
of stock. Keep one or two good brood
sows, and watch and attend to them
carefully. Give surplus them the benefits of
the slops or milk from the
kitchen and dairy. Shelter cattle and
stock properly. All of these dumb crea
tures, which contribute so largely to our
comfort, suffer intensely from the effects
of cold, and when unnecessarily exposed
require more food to promote health and
growth. Humanity and economy both
demand that we look carefully to the
comfort of the farm animals. Fences
and terraces are to be looked after;
leaves and filter to be hauled for bed
ding; implements, plow-gear and
wagons overhauled and repaired. In
these small matters we are too apt to
procrastinate, and when too late, that
is when the spring work opens in earn
est, we realize the time we have lost,
and regret our inaction.
R. T. Nesbitt, Commissioner.
COMMERCIAL FERTILIZERS.
TUttir Percentage* of Valuable Plant
Food.
We are often asked by farmers why it
is that so much unnecessary material Is
found in the ordinary fertilizers on the
market. A common composition of
these goods ia about 10 per cent of avail¬
able phosphoric acid, about 2 1-2 per
cent ammonia and about 3 per cent pot¬
ash. This is a total of 14 1-2 per cent of
available plant food, or 14 1-2 pounds in
every 100 pounds of fertilizer.
This may appear a small percentage,
yet when the source of the materials
and the urgent demand for low priced
fertilizers is taken into consideration,
there are excellent reasons for such a
condition of affairs.
There are certain materials offered
upon the market which contain plant
food, some of them are sold at very low
prices which make them available as
fertilizers. Bones, phosphate rock, cot¬
tonseed meal, blood, tankage, sulphate
of ammonia, nitrate of soda, muriate of
potash, sulphate of potash and kainit
are such materials.
Phosphate rock is our cheapest and
most used source of phosphoric acid;
cottonseed meal is one of our cheap
sources of nitrogen, and kainit is largely
used as a source of potash.
Now 100 pounds of phosphate rock
only contains about 30 pounds of phos¬
phoric acid, and to render this 30 pounds
of phosphoric acid available aa plant
food requires in round numbers about
100 pounds of sulnhuric acid added to it.
Then the 200-pound mixture will con¬
tain the whole of the 30 pounds of the
phosphoric acid, or 15 pounds in 100; or,
th other words, it will be a 15 per cent
“acid phosphate.” Phosphate rock is a
combination of lime with phosphoric
acid, and it also contains some impuri¬
ties such as sand, etc. Sulphuric acid
when added to phosphate rock seizes a
large portion of the lime and forms sul¬
phate of lime, leaving the phosphoric
acid available as plant food. If it were
possible to secure a perfectly pure phos¬
phate rock we could only make about a
23 per cent “acid phosphate ’ with it by
this process. It is possible to leach out
the phosphoric acid from the “acid phos¬
phate'’ and evaporate the solution down,
and thus produce a remarkabry high
grade of “acid phosphate.” This", of
course, increases the cost of the goods
very much. It is possible now to buy
goods running from 40 to 50 per cent
available phosphoric acid, but the de
mand is limited, as everyone wishes
cheap fertilizers. Such an article is in¬
trinsically worth three times as much as
a 15 per cent acid phosphate. With
15 per cent acid phosphate selling at
$13 a ton, a 45 per cent one should bring
$89. Even at this figure the higher
priced article would be the most eco
nomical on account of freight, as it
would be only one-third of that of the
lower grad' goods. Another factor
comes, however, into the matter, which
is the additional cost of producing the
more concentrated article. An actual
pound of available phosphoric
acid sells at a higher and
higher price as it becomes more and
more pure. While it is worth 4 cents a
pound in an ordinary pound “acid phosphate,”
it sells for $3.50 a in a perfectly
pure condition as used by chemists.
Cottonseed meal is one of the large
sources of ni.rogen, yet as it is put upon
the market it only contains of nitrogen
equivalent to 8 1-2 per cent ammonia.
The raw cottonseed itself contains a still
smaller percentage before the removal of
the hulls and oil. This partial concen¬
tration of nitrogen in the cottonseed
tneal is too expensive to undertake for
fertilizing purposes alone. It is the ex
traction of the valuable cottonseed oil
npon which the industry chiefly depends
to make the business remunerative. If
agriculturists could afford to use the
most concentrated ammouiates which it
is possible to produce, such ammoniates
could lie made far cheaper from other
materials than cottonseed. Blood is a
by-product from the slaughter houses.
aiid contains nitrogen equivalent t
about 16 per cent of anquoaia, and while
higher jkt ton- usually posts less per
pound for the nitrogen it contains than
the cottonseed meal. If cottonseed meal
( wag worth nothing except as a fertilizing
material, this might not be the case, but
j , cottonseed is also a valuable cattie food.
Nitrate of soda is also a very concen.
j trated form of nitrogen It can be
bougut containing nitrogen equivalent to
j equivalent to only between 19 and 20 per
; cent ef ammonia
Perfectly Dure nitrogen 5 and ammonia
are both gases and for fertilizing outdo-
8es must be fixed by combination with
some other body. Ammonia gas is now
80 pi t n a form compressed by
|, e avy pressure into iron cylinders for
J’SSS
to use. Sulphate of ammonia is amifio
nia gas combined with sulphuric acid,
which holds it. Pure sulphate of am
monia contains over 25 per cent of act
U al ammonia.
j Kainit is an impure potash mineral
only containing about 12 per cent of pot
per’ aa p i muriate of potash containing 50
cent of actual potash. It can be
bought at very low potash.” figures
considering its contents of The
sulphate can be bought at a little higher
figures, containing also about 50 per
ceT1 t of potash. If we consider “acid
phosphate” in angunadulterated state as
containing 15 per cent of available plios
phoric acid and cotton seed meal as con
taining nitrogen equivalent to 8 1-2 per
cent of ammonia, and Kainit as carry
ing 12 per cent of potash, fertilizers can
not be made to run very high from such
materials in their crude form. For iu
stance, 60 pounds of 15 per cent acid
phosphate phosphoric contains 9 pounds of availa
ble acid (that is, it contains
8-10 of 15 pounds), 25 pounds of cotton
seed meal contains 1-4 of the 8 1-2
pounds in 100 of nitrogen of equivalent to ammo
nia pounds cottou seed meal,
which will be about 2 12-100 per cent,
15 pounds of Kainit will contain 1 8-10
pounds of potash—as 15 pounds is 15-100
of the 100 pounds of Kainit containing
12 pounds of potash per 100 pounds.
By using greater or smaller propor¬
tions of each ingredient the percentages
can be varied, but such formulae cannot
be expected to contain more than 13 or
14 per cent of plant food.
If 16 per cent blood or 16 per cent
nitrate of soda is used all the percent¬
ages can be increased if desired. By the
use of such material as the high grade
acid phosphates, whicli can be bought
running as high as 18 per cent available
phosphoric acid, sulphate of ammonia
containing over 24 per cent of ammonia
and of sulphate or muriate of potash
running over 50 per cent of potash, very
much higher grades of fertilizers can be
produced the than market. the ordinary Fifty average of
those on pounds of
an 18 per cent “acid phosphate” would
give 9 per cent available phosphoric
acid, 25 pounds of 24 per cent sulphate
of ammonia would give 6 per cent of
ammonia, and 25 pounds of sulphate or
muriate of potash containing 50 per cent
of potash would give 12 1-2 per cent of
potash. The demand, however, is for
low-priced goods, and many buyers do
not stop to consider the quantity of plant
food m a fertilizer, hut think the cheaper
they buy a ton the better the bargain.
If one desires to buy a gold ring of a cer¬
tain size, he finds they become cheaper
and cheaper as they contain less gold,
though to the eye they appear equally
Well at first. One has to take the jew¬
eler’s word or go to a chemist to decide
the matter. A farmer has to either
take the manufacturer’s word or go to a
chemist also. Some may think they can
tell the quality by the smell, taste or
color. They are badly mistaken.
A fertilizer running 9 par cent availa¬
ble phosphoric and acid, 6 per cent of of am¬
monia 12 1-2 per cant potash
costs a manufacturer $7.20 for the phos¬
phoric acid, $15.60 for the ammonia and
$10 for the potash, and $2.60 for mixing,
sacking, inspecting, etc. This will he
$35.40. Such goods can bo purchased if
desired. If low percentage goods are
not desired one should not buy them, as
higher percentage fertilizers can be se¬
cured if one is willing to pay for them.
Where freights are high considerable
money can be saved by using high grade
goods. To increase the standard would
he to lessen the use of cotton seed meal
and the lower grades of phosphate rock
in manufactured fertilizers. This would,
of course, make fertilizers proportion¬
ately somewhat higher in price.
Pure phosphoric acid and pure potash
quickly take up water from the air, nnd
they would be difficult to manage as fer¬
tilizers. They could not be kept pure
unless sealed air and water tight. Pure
ammonia is a gas under ordinary condi¬
tions, and, of course, would be unman¬
ageable in such a form. These bodies,
however, can be combined with each
other and thus be handled more readily.
Phosphate of potash can be made from
phosphoric acid and potash, and phos¬
phate of ammonia from phosphoric white acid
and ammonia. These two sub¬
stances would look very dissimilar from
the ordinary “guanoss” blackened with
lampblack, and even if there zvas no in¬
creased cost in ridding the crude mate¬
rial of their impurities, the market
value would be very high. At the low
valuation of 4 cents a pound for availa¬
ble phosphoric acid a ton of pure phos
phosphorio acid %vould be worth $80. A
ton of pure potasfi valued at 4 cents
a pound would be $80, and a ton of pure
ammonia at only 13 cents a pound chemicals would
be $260. The freight on such
would be proportionately but low according
to their concentration, they are, of
course, out of the question, as they can¬
not at present be manufactured except
at considerable additional cost per pound
of plant food.
At equal prices per pound for plant
food a high grade fertilizer is cheaper
than a low priced one, as the freight is
less, it does not take so much bagging,
and it takes less work to handle it. Far¬
mers should buy their goods on analysis,
as the manufacturers do theirs. JNo
reasonable man should expect to buy a
fertilizer containing 27 per cent of plant
food at the same price as one containing Payne.
