the blacks wno show ability m raising
cattle aie so tew and tar between that
it is impossible to depend upon them
without close personal supervision.
The best plan is tor the farmer to
take hold of this matter himself. There
is less drudgery in it than clerking in
a bank or dealing out groceries and
calico, and the profits are as certain
as in cotton growing. Banks and
merchants will furnish money and sup
plios just as readyily with cattle for
security a& the same number of acres
in cotton. The question of men for
the work, therefore resolves itself
into a Question of whether the Geor
gia farmer will see his opportunity
and make the effort to take advantage
of it.”

8EVENTH LETTER ON AGRICUL¬
TURAL CHEMISTRY.
Continuing the Letters of State Chen
ist, to Georgia Farmers on Agricul
tureal Chemistry—Description of
Fertilizer Materials
Continued.
Cotton seed meal, blood,
etc., which I have destrihed to
in the last letter, are known as "or
garde” sources of ammonia, or rather
of nitrogen. Habit is so strong, you
see, it is hard to get rid of the us*
of that word ammonia. Nitrogen is
much the better term for our use. Be*
aides the organic sources of nitrogen
we also have what are known as
"inorganic sources. I have explained
in a previous letter Lilly the
of these two terms, but lest you may
have forgotten, I will stop a moment
to say that an organic substance mav
be either vegetable or animal, thus a
leaf, a seed, piece of , meat or of . skin .
are organic* substances. An
substance is the opposite of these,
and is mineral in its nature, a piece
of rock or of iron is inorganic.
chief inorganic source of nitrogen,
then, is nitrate of soda, also commonly
called "Chili Saltpetre;” saltpetre be
cause it has many of the properties of
reai saltpetre, which is nitrate of pot
ash and Chili because it is imported
from Chili in South America.
Nitrate of potash or true saltpetre
is a very valuable fertilizing compound.
yielding , both nitrogen , and potash to
the plant, but it is much too expensive
to buy in this form; it is. therefore,
better, or, rather, cheaper to buy
irate of soda and muriate of potas n
separately, and then mix them to
get'her, When we will accomplish
ticttily the same resuiis from a fertil
izing standpoint, and for a smaller out
lay of money, than if we bought the
same elements in form of nitrate of
potash. Nitrate of soda is such an
Important salt for fertilizer purposes
that I will go Into some Iittled etall
about, it.
The entire supply at present comes
from the western coast of Chili. It ex
tends in a narrow strip of land rut-
ttin-g north arid smith for about 260
miles, at an average distance of about
.3 4 miles from the ocean. The country
where it Is found is a desert, it never
rains there and the whole region is
hare of vegetation and destitute of
water. The nitrate rock is call “ca
liche” (pronounced Oadee-chay) and
the best quality has the following coin
position:
Sodium nitrate, 50 percent, sodium'
chloride 26 per cent,, sodium sulphate j
6 per cent, magnesium sulphate 3 per
cent, insoluble matter 14 per cent,
dium iodate, sodium nitrite, magnesi-;
urn chloride, magnesium nitrate, potas¬
sium chloride 1 per cent making the
whole. j
The average qualify of “caliche” con¬
tains from 30 to 40 per cent of sodium
nitrate, and the poorest quality worked
ranges from 37 to ■ - 1 per cent sodium i
nitrate. The “caliche” occurs from 6
to 10 feet, below the surface of the
ground, and the vein or stratum va-

The process of extracting and sepa
rating the valuable nitrate of soda
from the rest ow the "caliche” is done
by means of water in which the ni
Irate of soda disolves, and from which
It is crystallized. A description of
the process would he tedious. Suf
lice it to say that a costly plant Is re
qulred for the purpose, and that the
work !s so well done that the product
when finished contains about 95 per
cent nitrate of soda, which is equiva
it at to45.95 per cent of nitrogen, or
19 per cent of ammonia. An en.ir
mous and annually increasing amount
is shipped every year. The amount
exported every year to Europe and
America is about one million tons.
Method of Use.
The material nas a great numbet
of use* besides its use as a fertilizer.
It is in the manufacture of nitrate ot
potash, which is needed to make gun
powder and fireworks; it is also used
to make nitric acid, is an essential in
the. manufacture of sulphuric acid, up
on which Ue whole superphosphate or
avoid phosphate industry depends, be
sides a great many other manufacture
tug processes. Its great importance
as a Ictilizor depends upon its high
percentage of nitrogen and its corn
plete solubility in water, thus being
immediately available as plant fool,
the nitrogent in it being already iu
the term of a nitrate, the form in
which plants prefer to take most of
their nitrogen, The nitrate of soda
being , • readily , freely soluble , . , .
and in
water, is ready for appropriation as
plant food as soon as it 1*
put into the soil. Hence it
is evident that the best way to use
it is by application as a top dressing
immediately before or after a rain,
usually ia the spring, when the plant
is up a mi needs a good send-off to do
velop growth of stall; and foliage,
Used in this way, the results are very
sure ard very striking.
Culphate of Ammonia.
One other important inorganic
source of ... nitrogen ... the salt known
is
as sulphate of ammonia. It is pr>
duced chiefly as a hy-ptoduc-t in the
manufacture of illuminating gas from
coal; the gas eo-ate nil contain a snMil
percentage of nitrogen; when subject.
ed to dry distillation In retorts, the m*
trogen is driven off in the form of am
nmnia gas, and is finally absorbed in
sulphuric acm, from which it is crys
tallized as sulphate of ammonia.
product usually contains about 20)4
P« cent of -nitrogen, when
hut if cold unpurified as brown sub
phate of ammonia, it may not contain
more than IS per cent of nitrogen. Sul
P&ato of ammonia is freely soluble in
water, and has this advantage over
nitrate of soda, that it doss not leach
out of the soil so readily-as nitrate of
soda does, and may therefore bo an
Pli«d with other fertilizers in the fall
1° cr °I )s Without fear of serious
. i° ss through leaching during the fa/i
ani ' winter. I have not mentioned a'd
ot the various kinds of nitrogenous
fertilizer materials, but have sketched
nearly all of the commercial fertilizers
materials the commercial
sold in th« State of Georgia are made.
The next great class of fertilizer ma
ter!a! we discuss will be the “phos
