Fertilizer Materials
■ ,'A Continued.
Cotton seed meal, blood, tankage,
etc., which I have deatribed to you
in the last letter, are known as “or
ganic” sources ol ammonia, or rather
of nitrogen. Habit is so strong, you
see, ft is hard to get rid of the use
of that word ammonia. Nitrogen is
much the better term for oiir use. Be-
aides the organic sources of nitrogen
we also have what are known as the
"inorganic sources. I have explained
in a previous letter fffily the meaning
of these two terms, but lest you may
have forgotten, I will stop a moment
to say that an organic substance may
be either vegetable or animal, thus a
leaf, a seed, piece of meat or of skin
ai*e organic substances. An inorganic
substance is the opposite of these,
and is mineral in its nature, a piece
of rock or of iron is inorganic. Tlje
dhiefc inorganic source of nitrogen,
then, is nitrate of soda, also commonly
called "Chili Saltpetre;” saltpetre be
cause it has many of the properties of
real 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 ni
trate of soda and muriate of potash
separately, and then mix them to
gether, when we will accomplish prac
tically the same results from a fertil
izing standpoint, and for a smaller out
lay of money, than if wo 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 littled etail
about it.
The entire supply at present comes
from the western coast of Chili. It ex
tends in a narrow strip -of land run
ning north and south for about 260
miles, at an average distance of about
14 miles from the ocean. The country
where it is found is a desert, It never
rains there and the whole region Is
bare of vegetation and destitute of
water. The nitrate rock is call "ca
liche” (pronounced Ca-lee-chay) and
the best quality has the following com
position:
Sodium nitrate, 50 per cent, sodium
chloride 26 per cent,, sodium sulphate
6 per cent, magnesium sulphate 3 per
cent, insoluble matter 14 per cent, so
dium iodate, sodium nitrite, magnesi
um chloride, magnesium nitrate, pota*.
slum chloride 1 per oent making the
Whole.
The average quality of "caliche” con
tains from 30 to 40 per cent of sodium
nitrate, and the poorest quality worked
ranges from 17 to 30 per cent sodium
nitrate. The "caliche” occurs from 6
to 10 feet below the surface of the
ground, and the vein or stratum va
ries from a foot and a half to twelve
feet in thickness.
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
trate of soda disolves, and from which
it is crystallized. A description ol
the process would he tedious. Suf
fice It to say that a costly plant is re
quired for the purpose, and that the
work is so well done that the product
•when finished contains about 95 per
cent nitrate of soda, which is equiva-
lent to 15.66 per cent of nitrogen, or
19 per cent of ainxuonia. .an enor
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 has a great number
of uses besides its use as a fertilizer.
It te in the manufacture of nitrate of
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 tne whole superphosphate or
avoid phosphate industry depends, be
tides a great many other manufactur
ing processes. Its great importance
as a fertilizer depends upon its high
percentage of nitrogen and its com
plete solubility in water, thus being
immediately available as plant food,
the nitrogent in it being already in
the form of a nitrate, the form in
which plants prefer to take most of
their nitrogen. The nitrate of soda
being readily and freely soluble in
water, is ready for appropriation as
plant food; as soon as it
put into the soil. Hence
is evident that the best way to use
it is by application , as a top dressing
immediately before or after a rai n,
usually in the spring, when the plant
is up and need* a good send-off to do-
velop growth of Stalk and foliage.
Used in this way, the results are very
sure very striking.
Sulphate of Ammonia.
One other Important inorganic
source of nitrogen is the Balt known
&s sulphate of ammonia* . It is pr>
duced’ cjiiefly as a by-^c^uct in. the
manufacture of. illuminating gas fro®,
eoal; the gas coals all contain a small
percentage of nitrogen; when subject-
ed 1 to dry distillation In retorts, the ni
trogen is driven off in the form of am
monia gas, and is finally absorbed in
sulphuric acid, from which it is crys
tallized as sulphate of ammonia. This
product usually contains about 20&
per cent of nitrogen, when purified,
but if sold unpurified as brown sul
phate of ammonia* it may not contain
more than 18 per cent of nitrogen. Sul
phate of ammonia Is freely soluble in
water, and has this advantage over
nitrate of soda, that it does not leach
out of the soll So readily, as nitrate of
soda does, and- may therefore be ap
plied with other fertilizers in the fall
to fall crops without fear of serious
loss through leaching during the fall
and winter. I have not mentioned all
of the various kinds of nitrogenous
fertilizer materials, but Save sketched
nearly all of the commercial fertilizer*
materials the commercial fertilizers
Bold in the State of Georgia are made.
The next great clots of fertilizer ma
terial we discuss will be the "phos-
phatea.” John M. McClandless.
Discouraging to Genius. .
A North Georgia farmer who was
possessed of some means entered the
office of his county paper and asked
for the editor.
The farmer was accompanied by
his son, a youth of seventeen years,
and as soon as the editor, who was
in his secret sanctum, was informed
that his visitors were not bill col
lectors be came forward and shook
bands.
"I came to get some information,”
said the farmer.
"Certainly,” said the editor, "and
you came to the right place, Be
seated.”
The farmer sat on one end of the
table, while his son sat on the floor.
"This boy o’ mine,” he saifl r
"wauts to go into the literary bus
iness, and I thought you’d know
whether there’s money in it or not.
It’s a good business, ain’t it?”
"Why, yes,” said the editor after
some little hesitation, "I’ve been in
it myself for fifteen years, and see
where I’ve got to.”
The farmer eyed him from head
to foot, glanced around the poorly
furnished office, surveyed the editor
once more, then, turning to his son,
who was still on the floor, said:
"Git up, John, and go home and
go back ter plowin’!”—Atlanta Con
stitution.
Chicago will have to look to her
laurels. Over in New York they
have unearthed a man who was
twice sued for divorce in one month,
aud out in Kansas City one couple
that was married at noon separated
by legal process before the twilight
shadows fell. No section of this
grand old country pan boast of hav
ing a monopoly of the genius or en
terprise of the people.—Philadelphia
Inquirer.
The creature has come, apparent
ly, to be more powerful than its cre
ator, Now the republican party
finds itself between the devil and
the deep sea. The people are aris
ing in revolt against the monopolies,
and the monopolies are defying the
republican party, which made them
and by which it has been supplied
with the sinews of political war.—

Rheumatism oC 17 Years Cured.
People who have been cured sound the
praise of Ubicsol. Mrs. Mary E. Hart
well, wife of the treasurer of Los Angel

sincere appreciation of your remedy.
After seventeen years of constant afflic
tion, oftentimes helpless with.swollen
feet and bands, I used six bottles of
Ubicsol, and now, after- two years’ re
lease, gratefully acknowledge a perma
nent cure.” Druggists sell it at $1,00
per bottle, or six bottles for $5,00.
