LETTER ON FERTILIZERS
Description of Various Nitro
genous Materials Used.
PACKING HOUSE PRODUCES, ETC.
8tate Chemist John S. McCandleaa
Interestingly and instructively Upon
This Important and Much Discussed
Question.
Letter No. 6.
Ae you and others have written me
to know what Is the value of the dif
ferent materials used In the manufac
ture of commercial fertilizers, 1 will
Slve you at this point a fairly com
plete account of the substances prin
cipally used. First, we will consider
in the order of their value in dollars
and cents, and their agricultural Im
portance, the nltrogeneoue materials,
or those which yield nitrogen to the
plant. Such substances are also known
as ammonlates. because under certain
conditions the nitrogen which they con
tain can be converted into aminonlu.
Now nitrogen and ammoulu are not the
same thing by any means, but still
they are eloeely related, they are both
gases. Nitrogen, as I have described
to you before In another place, Is a
colorless, odorless, tasteless gas. and
constitutes four-fifths of the air or at
mosphere which envelope the earth.
Ammonia is also a gas and is cololese,
but it has a pungent odor, the same
which you 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.
ana the manner of their production, i
will give you a l^rief account of their
manufacture.
The great packing-houses are locat
ed chiefly in Chicago. Kansas City and
Omaha, where immense numbers of
cattle are slaughtered, and the various
parts of the body are put to some spe.
cial use. Apart from the production
of dressed beef, mutton or pork, there
ie, of course, a large quantity of waste
to be utilised, but the material most
interesting to us is that which is used
for fertilizers; this consists of Mood,
of bones, and a mixture of scraps of
meat, skin, bones amt blood.
Dried BI«od.
The material known as "dried blood”
is the most valuable fertilizing prod
uct, and the richest in nitrogen. In
preparing this material, the liquid
blood is collected in vats, where it is
cooked; this process causes the sepa
ration of the protein of the blood from
nest mtormcd as a men and hlgnly
available source of nitrogen. It con
tains about fifteen per cent, of nitro
gen. The quantity of It on the market
is comparatively small. There are
many other products of the packing
house. but these are the chief ones of
interest to the fertilizer trade, and to
the farmer.
In the next letter I will finish de
scribing the nitrogenous fertilizer ma
terials, and write you something about
phosphates.
Yours truly,
JOHN M. MCOAND4J908.
State Chemist.
LOST IN THE AIR.

Hoys are frequently lost in the woods,
and it is a singular fact that birds nre
sometimes lost In the air. This might

much of the water; It is then put Into tb „ av#rn(M , mnu R 8 „ l>er flclal oh-

water is jessed out. After pressing ln fnr Il0rth RIul particularly
it is still damp, and in the form of along the ocean coasts, birds are fre-
cakes; these cakes are next broken up quentl.v storm driven and lose their
and dried by passing them through a
mechanical drier heated by steam.
The dump cakes $0 in at one end of
the machine and dry cakes come out
at the other, when they are ground
to a powder and sacked ready for mar
ket. This blood will usually contain
about thirteen per cent, of nitrogen,
which, is the equivalent of about six
teen per cent, of ammonia, hut as in
the case of the cottonseed-meal, there
is actually no ammonia ln it.
Tankage.
The next important product of the
■laughter-house is what is known to
the fertilizer trade nt “Tankage.” This
is a mixture of blood, bones, waste
bearings, so that many of tliem are lost
at rch. They keep floating In the air,
aimlessly striving to Itve until exhaus
tion compels them to drop Into the an
gry waves, which engulf them.
There Is a well authenticated case on
record of an ocean liner bringing Into
New York on n winter’s day a largo
white owl which had dropped to 0110
of the forward spars in an exhausted
condition more Ilian HtK> miles off the
coast of Newfoundland. It was near
ly dead from cold and hunger and al
most too weak to eat anything. It had
become much emaciated and trembled
in Its distress when It tried to swal
low the first morsel of meat which was
placed within Its beak. The captain
and sullors were all interested In It.
