same thing by any meant, but atill
they ar. closely rclatod, they are both
gates. Nitrogen, aa I havo described
to you betor* In another place, la a
colorless, odorless, tasteless gas, and
constitutes four-fifths of ths air or at.
mosphero which envelops the earth.
Ammonia Is also a gas and Is cololess,
but It has a pungent odor, the tame
which yon have noticed in spirits of
hartshorn or spirits of ammonia bought
from the drug store. It also has a
caustic burning taste, and Is easily
dissolved In water, which nitrogen Is
not.
Ammonia Is made by causing nitro
gen to combine with hydrogon. Pour
teen pounds of nitrogen combine with
three pounds of hydrogen to mike sev
entoen pounds of ammonia, so that
ammonia always contains a large
amount of nitrogen, but nitrogen never
contains any ammonia. And right
here It Is well for you to uud^stand,
that we have all fallen Into a very un
wise and erroneous habit of speaking
about a fertilizer as containing such
a par cent of ammonia. As a matter
of fact, it la rarely If ever the cafe
that a fertilizer contains any ammo
nia, as such at all, but It does contain
nitrogen combined ln various forms.
As you know, It Is oustomary, is
the careleee wsy of talking obtaining
among us all, to speak of cottonseed-
meal at oontatnlng eight per cent, am
monia That Is Wrong; It does not
contain any ammonia, hut It does oon-
taln six and alxtenths ptr cent of ni
trogen In the form of albuminoids or
protein, of which I wrote you so maoh
in my letters on feeding; fad this six
and six-tenth per cent, of mi
aider certain chemical
converted Into 8 per oent of ammonia.
I hope, then, I havo made this plain,
and when yon bny a fertiliser ln the
future don’t Imagine because you smell
certain peculiar odors about It that
you smell ammonia; that la rarely If
ever the case; the odors you smell ere
usually due to animal matters, flsb-
scrap, etc., and Indicate no greati
value In the fertilizer than one which
has no odor at all.
In the same way a dark or black
color le no indication of value In the
fertilizer. In point of fact, the high
est grade fertllzer which could poaalbly
be compounded by the art of man
would be snow white ln color. Tho
materials used for compounding suoh
a fertilizer would be nltrato of am
monia and phosphate of potash, and
these salts when chemically pure are
enow white salts. To roturn now to
our description of ths various nitro
genous materials. Cottonseed-meal,
with which you are fully familiar,
etanda first la Importance In Southern
agriculture.
An average meal of good quality
will contain six and six-tenths per
cent, of nitrogen, which, If converted
Into ammonia, would be equal to olght
per cent.
It also contains an average of 2.7
per cent, of phosphoric acid and LS
per cent, potash. It Is a vory vain
ablo fertiliser, and constitutes the nl
trogen base of the greater portion ol
commercial fertilizers manufactured In
the Bouth.
Next to cottonseed-meal the mate

Same way as was done with the dried

Bone Meal.
There are also three kinds of bons
meal produced: raw bone meal, reg
nlar bone meal, and steamed bons
meal. The first Is, as Its name Indi
cates, produced by the crushing and
grinding ot raw bones, after remov
lng any adhering fat or meat. This
material contains about tour por cent,
of nitrogen, twenty-three per cent, ol
total phosphoric acid, and eight and
one-half per cent, of available phoe
phoric acid. The regular bone meal
Is cooked under pressure for a fow
hours In the tanks; this removes fa!
and also causes some loss of nitrogen,
make the product grind easier and
finer. This grade of bone meal con
tains about three per cent, nitrogen,
twenty-seven and one-half per cent
total phosphoric acid twelve, and one
half per cent, available phosphorlg
acid. Steamed bone-meal le the prod
uct of the glue work*, and la madi
by grinding the bone left after boiling
ell the fat and flue'out of them that
can be obtained. This process rednesi
the percentage of nitrogen, eo that
steamed boo* meal will hardly average
more than two per cent of nltrogea,
