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. There is
\ no danger of using too much ashes,
> and the farmer that Beds them - is sell-
, ing his corrr and wheat for less than
i one quarter.of their value.
’ Leached ashes aTe nearly as valua-
i ble for agricultural purposes as -the
r unleached, as by leaching -they, part

r ash, while the. other elements remain,
i and are condensed 20 per cent. 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.
