aucea cmeny as a Dy-product in tno
manufacture of illuminating gas from
coal; the gas coals all contain a small
percentage of nitrogen; when subject
ed 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 20^4
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
cut of the soil 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 have sketched
nearly all of the commercial fertilizers

sold in the State of Georgia are made.

Silk Culture In Georgia.
When the colony of Georgia was
first founded, it was intended to make
it a great silk-producing country; but
when the cotton gin. was invented, the
fleecy staple came prominently to the
front and King Cotton, mounting his
throne, for a long time ruled Georgia
with despotic sway, supplanting ali
other industries. But the time has
come for the old king to take a lower
place and share with other industries
In promoting the strength and great
ness of our noble commonwealth.
Efforts are being made to arouse
once more an interest among the peo
ple of Georgia in silk culture. North
Carolina has of late years made some
progress on this Kne. Thinking that
there is something of promise to Geor
gia in the silk industry, we publish
the following correspondence:

Japanese Fans.
Though the Japanese folded fan is a
common object in this country, little
is known of its manufacture. One of
the largest factories is at Kioto, where
an average of 3,000,000 fans yearly are
turned out. Spain is the principal cus
tomer for the Kioto fans, Italy com
ing next In importance and then the
United States and Mexico. The fans
are not at nil easy to manufacture, as
eight different workmen are required
to make a single frame, while before
the fan is finished it has to pass
through the hands of ten people.
