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 riels used most largoly In the manu facture of commercial fertilizers era the "Packing House Products.” As little Is generally known of thees end the manner of their production, I will give you a brief account of that! manufacture. The great packlng-housea are locat ed ehlefly In Chicago, Kansas City and Omaha, whoro Immense number! ol eettle are slaughtered, end the various parta of the body oto pot to tome epe. del uae. Apert from the production of dressed beef, mutton or pork, then Is. of oourao, k large quantity of watts to bo nttllsod, but ths material moat Interesting to ns Is that which le used tor fertilizer*; this consists of blood, of bonae, end a mixture of scrape ol matt, akin, bones and Mood. Dried Blood. The material known ae "dried blood" le the moat valuable fertilising prod uct, tad the richest In nitrogen, in preparing thin material, the liquid blood It oollected tu vats, where It ti cooked; this process causes the sepa ration of the protein of the blood from much of the water; It Is then put lnte 1 presses where about one-half of ths water la pressed out. After pressing' U le atlU damp, and la the form ol cakes; these cakes are next broken uy •ad dried by pasting them through a MMhiBleal drier heated by steam. The dapsp cakes gw m at one end ol the machine and dry cakes coma out at the other, when they are ground toapowderand sacked reedy for mar ket T%le Mood will usually oootais about tklrteeu per cant of nltrogaa. which. It the equivalent of about six teen per ctat. of ammonia, tut as le tho case of the oottoaeeed-mesl, then la actually no ammonia ln It. Tankas*. ' Tho next Important product of tb« slaughter-house le what Is known M tho fertilizer trade at ’Vanksgo.” This le a mixture of bloody bones, waati scraps of meat, etc. [This material gats Its name from the Pact that It It oookod ln huge tanks ln| he first stag) of Its preparation. It lln cooked un der (team pressure at a high tempera tore for several hours. As a result, moat of the fat ln the mass Is melted and rises to the top of the tanks, when It le skimmed off and utilized for soap making and other purposes. Th« bones and the cooked meat, etc., now 11a at the bottom of the tank, and ths tank water Is dark and highly colored —Is In fact a sort of soujj containing nitrogenous matter In soilllon. Ths solid matter, bones ate., are remored, dried and crushed or ground In th: Same way as was done with the dried blood product. * 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, but hat about the earn* amount el phospkolo aotd aa tha ordinary bona maal.

There was formerly a groat prejudice against It and It used to be considered fraudulent to uae It la fertilizers. Bren ln stand ard works on agricultural chemistry of quite recent date the materiel if spoken of ea being only very slowly available at plant-food. This, how ever, ha« ln the pest two or thred years been shown to be an error, and the material la now regarded "by those best Informed as a rich and highly available source of nitrogen. It con- tains about fifteen per cent, of nitro gen. The quantity of It on the marko: It comparatively small. There ar 1 many other products of the packing house, but these are the chief ones ol lntorost to the fertilizer trade, and tr the farmer.
