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.

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.

This material contains about four per cent converted into 8 per cent, of ammonia. I hope, then, I have made this plain, and when you buy a fertilizer in the future don't imagine because you smell certain peculiar odors about it that you smell ammonia; that is rarely If ever the case; the odors you smell are usually due to animal matters, fish- scrap, etc;., and Indicate no greater value in lire fertilizer than one which has no odor at all. In the; same way a dark or Muck color is no indication of value in the fertilizer.
