EXECUTED
LETTER NO. 11.
The Manufacture of Commercial Fer
tilizers.
Having your materials it now re
mains to make a complete fertilizer,
or “guano,” as it is popularly called.
It is not really a guano, this name
properly belonging to the deposits ol
sea-bird dung and decayed sea-birda
found on the rainless islands in tha
Paciflflc ocean off the coast of South
America, and known as Peruvian gu
ano. This material was extensively
used both in Europe and America
some 26 years ago, but it Is now com-
partlvely scarce and rarely for sale.
The Peruvian guano was rich in phos
phoric acid, nitrogen and potash, mak
ing a complete fertilizer; hence tha
name guano came to he applied to tha
complete artificial fertilizer made by
simply mixxing together ingredients
rich In nitrogen, phosphorc acid and
potash. 1
The artificial mixture has ithis
advantage over the natural, that it
Is easy to make a mixture to suit the
requirements of any soil or crop, rich
in phosphoric acid and poor In potash,
or rich in potash an)d nitrogen and
poor in phosphoric acid, or any other
combination which might be desired.
Suppose a manufacturer wants to
make complete fertilizer containing 8
per cent available phosphoric acid, 2
per cent nitrogen and 2 per cent of
potash, arfd that he has acid phos
phate, cotton seed meal and kainit to
make the goods from, how does he
go about it? He first sends samples
of all these materials to a chemist
and has them analyzed.
The chemist reports that he finds
the acid phosphate to contain 14 pei
cent of nitrogen, 2V& per cent of phos
phoric acid, and 1% per cent of pot
ash, and that the kainit contains 12%
per cent of potash. Wffth.theBe data
to go by the manufacturer, after soma
figuring, calculates tllat he can make
the goods he wants by taking 1,060
pounds of the acid phosphate, 660
pounds of the cotton Beed meal, 300
poundsO of the kainit; total 2,000
pounds. i
So he has this formula made up,
perhaps 500 tons of it, by having all
these materials thoroughly mixed in
the above proportions, passing them
through his disintegrators, screens and
other .machinery, until he feels satis
fied a complete mixture haB been ef
fected. Then to be sure everything
is right, he has another sample drawn
from the mixed goods and sent to the
chemist for analysis, who, If the mix
ture has been properly made, ought
to report an analysis as follows:
Available phosphoric aci,d, 8.16 pei
cent; nitrogen, 2.11 per cent; potash,
2.36 per cent.
Suppose now the manufacturer is
called upon by a peach grower, whe
has v found that he needs a large quan
tity of phosphoric acid and potash fot
his crop, to make him up a goods
guaranteed to analyze 10 per cent
available phosphoric acid, 3% per cenl
of nitrogen and 7% per cen^ of pot
ash. The manufacturer soon sees by
a little figuring that he cannot make
this goods up with the matersftla he
has on hand, but must go into the
market and buy higher grade mate
rials. He finds he cannot make out
of South Carolina rock an acid phos
phate high enough for his) require
ments, but must buy some Tennessee
rock . He does so, and after making
it up into acid phosphate finds that
it analyzes 17 per cent available phos
phoric acid; he also buys some muri
ate of potash, analyzing 50 per cent
of potash, and some Bulphate of am
monia, analyzing 20 6-10 per cent ol
nitrogen. Having these data he cal
culates the following formula:
Seventeen per cent acid phosphate,
1,200 pounds; Muriate of potash, 306
pounds; Sulphate bf. ammonia, 806
pounds; Cotton seed meal, 200 pounds.
Total 2,000 pounds.
After thorough mixing and manipu
lation In the factory as before, hi
sends a sample of the well-mixed
goods to his chemist, and receives as
analysis like f.his:
Available phosphoric acid, 10.46 pei
cent; nitrogen, 3.74 per cent; potash,
7.66 per cent, whlph makes him feel
satisfied, as he has guaranteed tc
make for his customer a complete fer
tilizer containing:
Available phosphoric acid, 10 pei
cent; nitrogen, 3.6 pen cent; potash,
7.6 per cent, and he finds that he hai
done this, with a small margin to
spare.

The cowpea furnishes also, a splem |

food for stock and arc also highlj

not only in Georgia, but iu all th«

How to Prevent Croup
It will be good news to mothers
of small children to learn that
croup can be prevented. The first
sigh of croup is hoarseness. A day
or two before the attack the child
beoomes hoarse. This is soon fol
lowed by a peculiar rough cough.
Give Chamberlain’s Cough Reme
dy as soon as . the child becomes
hoarse, or even after the rough
cough appears, and it will dispel
all symptoms of croup. In this
way all danger and anxiety may
be avoided. This remedy is used
by many thousands of mothers
and has never been known to fail.
It is, in fact, the only remedy
that can always be depended upon
and that is pleasant and safe to
take. For sale by all druggists.
