'•> GA,
(Continuing the letters of the State
Chemist to Georgia Farmers).
In letter No. 4, bulletin No. 38, I
lluded to the Importance of phospho
ric add as a constituent of plant food.
It Is In the same class with nitrogen
I potash, they being the elements
found only In small quantity In most
cultivated soils, all the other dements
necessary to plant life being usually
present In profusion. Phosphoric
add, then, must he added to the soli
If we expect large yields. The vari
ous sources of phosphoric add, then,
are of Interest.
Bones were the first and earliest
form In which phosphoric odd was
applied to the soil. Bones are a com
btnation of organic and Inorganic
matter. The organic matter In a bona
consists mainly of fat and a gluttn
ous matter; the Inorganic matter Is
chiefly phosphate of lime. This dual
composition of a hone can be demon
strated very graphically by taking
the leg bone of an animal and soak
ing it for quite a while In weak mu
rl-tie add. The add will dissolve
away the phosphate of lime, which
gives rigidity and stiffness to tha
hone, and leave behind the glutinous
flexible animal matter of the bona,
which will still retain the shape of
the original bone. You can now taka
this soft organic matter an 1 tie
Into a knot, without breaking It. Thla
soft animal matter of the bone Is rick
In nitrogen, so that a bone fertilizer
s a double manure, both phosphatlo
and nitrogenous. Bones vary a good
deal In composition, according to tha
nature and age of tho animal; there
Is not so much phosphate Ip the bones
of a young animal as those of an old
one. Even In the came animal, tha
hard thigh hones of an ox. for In
stance, will contain more phosphate
of lime than softer hones from other
parts of the animal. Bones to be of
value should of course be ground, and
the finer the grinding the better,
coarsely crushed or ground raw hone,
which has not been treated to remove
any of Its original fntty matter, will
decay with comparative slowness
the soil, and consequently but little
effect might be peicelvod from Its
application the first season.
A good raw bone will contnln on an
avernge 22 per cent, phosphoric add
and 4 per cent, of nitrogen. Such
hone is quite difficult to grind fine,
and on Its fineness depends In large
measure Us value as a fertilizer. Ruf
by boiling and steaming, much of the
fat Is removed, which has no value as
manuie; some of the nitrogen
also removed In the form of glue and
gelatine by the boiling and steaming
process. This treatment however ern
ables the bone to he ground much
finer than (ho raw hone, and where ths
process has been carried oqf very
thoroughly, as In the manufacture of
glue, the lesultlng ground bone may
contain ns high as 30 per i ant.
phosphoric add, but the nitrogen
this case will he reduced to 1, . 3 than
2 per cent. Actual experiments have
shown that all the phosphoilc acid
from a finely ground steamed bone
may become available In ope tp twq
seasons In the soil, while that from a
coarse ground raw bone wont I not be,
come fully available In three or four
seasons.
The Mineral or Rock Phosphates.
If bones wore the only source of
phosphoric add, modern agriculture
would be In a distressing condition,
since hones euultl supply only a very
suipIE part of the demand. The prlpeg’
of fertilizers would be very much
higher than they now are; the cotton
crop of the South and the grain crops
of the world would be very much
smaller, and the population of the
earth very much less than it now is.
So true Is It that life itself as counted
by generations rises and falls In great
er or smaller volume, In unison with
the available supply of plant food In
the soil. A very large proportion of
the dense population and Increased
wealth of the Old World la doubtless
duo to the discovery of the mineral
phosphates. Deposits of these In
greater or less quantity have been
known for a long time In the Old
World, but I shall mention only those
fields in this country which are of
great commercial Importance today.
The first of these In point of discov.
ery and development were the South
Carolina phosphate beds. These beds
are In the neighborhood of Charleston,
S. C. The rock la found both In ths
land and In the rivers In that vicin
ity. This phosphate Is found usually
In the form of lumps or nodules, va
rying from the size of a pebble to
quite large masses. The deposits
vary from one or two feet to twelve
or more In thickness. This rock con
tains no nitrogenous organic matter
like bone, but is simply a rock phos
phate. It Is true, however, that among
the deposits are found many evidences
of life, such as Immense vertebrae of
animals, and large teeth of shark,
marine and other animals. The South
Gftiolina rock contains from 26 to 28
per cent, of phosphoric acid. It Is
highly esteemed both at home and
abroad as a source of phosphoric acid;
actual mining began there In 1868.
Florida Phosphates.
The next great discovery of phos
phate rock in this country occurred
In Florida In 1888 and ’89. There aie
different forms of this phosphate;
first, we have the land or boulder
phosphate, which occurs In .rocky or
Stony masses of varying size and
form, and- varying from 30 to 40 per.
cent, of phosphoilc acid; second, the
"soft” phosphate, a white powdery ma
terial, mixed with more or less Kaolin
and containing from 18 to 30 per cent,
phosphoric acid; thirdly, we hove the
pebble” form consisting o! email, hard
rounded pebbles, which occur both
In the beds of the rivers, aud 111 de
posits on the land. They are varia
ble In composition, but range from
about 30 to 36 per cent of phosphoric
acid. The Florida rock constitutes a
very important source of phosphoric
acid, Is highly esteemed, and 1s used
largely both at home and abroad.
Tennessee Phosphate.
Shortly after the discovery of phos
phate rock In Florida, discoveries be
gan to be made in Tennessee In the vl-
clalty of Nashville, and later still Im
portant deposits began to be found
In Maury county, Tenn., near Mt.
Pleasant. This rock, like the others.
variable In form and composition,
but the marketable varieties range
from 30 to 37 pei cent, of phosphoric
acid. There are other Important phos.
phatlc deposits In the world, hut those
Just described constitute the Import
ant ones for southern agriculture,
Having mentioned the chief sources
of nitrogen and phosphoric acid, we

source of potash

Squatting I'liirn of Buyer.. I
To start n Japanese shop Is the slm- j
plest thing lu the world. You take tho ]
front off your house and arrange your I
worldly possessions on the floor.
Japanese floors nro raised off the j
street, though nothing Is raised off
them. The transient customer sits on I
the edge of the floor sidesaddle. A j
real shopper who means to do the |
thing properly climbs up on the floor,'
which is also the counter, and squnts j
on Ills heels.
Ileal Japanese shops have no doors |
windows or counters. Shop windows
England do not lenve much wall In
the frontage, but even an English shop
iiulow does not take the whole front
the house.
The Japanese have not many regulnr
shops. There nre very few streets of
shops even In Tokyo, which Is as large
as Berlin. Foreigners never buy nny-
tlilng but curios. If they nro fools,
they deal with shops kept by Euro
peans; If they want bargains, they deal
Itli Chinamen.
There are many Chinese shops In
treaty ports. The Chinaman Is cheaper
nd more reliable than the Japanese,
uropean shopkeepers do not set up In
Japan for philanthropic reasons. Jap
anese shopkeepers nro the lowest class
population except the outcasts.
Servants and laborers take precedence
of them In society, and precedence Is
the hobby of the Japanese.
Y'oii have a different how and a dif
ferent salutation for a man who Is be
low you or your equal, aud several for
the people above you. You have even

"May I ask what color you prefer?
inquired the superior young suleswom
an, with a smile.
"Oh, I'm not particular about the col
or, but I may say that It may cost from
30 to 40 marks.”
“And the cut?”
"The cut? Well, I really don’t much

“May I ask about the Indy for whom

“Why, she Is my wife, of course

“I beg your pardon. Wlmt I meant

“It doesn't matter In the lenst. Please
show me some blouses, one blouse, any

"With pleasure, sir, but If you can
not give me nil Idea of the color, cut

“Give me any blouse you like so long
as the price Is between 30 and 40 marks.
It doesn't mutter 11 straw what cut or

it’s certain to be changed. I told you

Dlilu't Bother Him.
A German clergyman who was trav
eling stopped at a hotel much frequent
ed by wags and Jokers. The host, not
being used to linvlug a clergyman at
his table, looked at him with surprise.
The guests used all their raillery of
wit upon him without eliciting a re
mark. The clergyman ate Ills dinner
quietly, apparently without observing
the gibes and sneers of Ills neighbors.
One of them, at lust. In despair at Ills
forbearance, said to him: “Well, I won

heard all that 1ms been said to you?”
Oh, yes; but 1 am used to It. Do you
