The relative com mercial value which is given each fertilizer is calculated from the above figures with an addition to each of $2.60 per ton to cover inspection, sacks, mixing and handling.
To calculate the commercial value of a on of a given fertilizer bear in mind that a ton weighs 2,000 pounds, and one per cent. of this is twenty pounds. If a goods contain one per cent. of available phosphoric acid this will be twenty ' pounds of available phosphoric acid in a ton. Twenty pounds of available phosphoric acid at four cents a pound will be eighty cents for each per cent. conta ined in a ton, or eighty cents per unit, as it is generally designated. Ammonia being thirteen cents a pound, each one per cent., or twenty pounds in a ton, will be wort h 2.60. As potash is the same value as avail~ble phosphoric acid, each per ce nt. in a.ton will be worth eighty cents.

To illustrate this take a sample containing-

'rhese valuations were obtained by the most careful investigation, and fairly represented the wholesale cash value on the first of January, 1894, of fertiliz ~rs in Georgia in those cities wh ere the goods enter the State or where they are manufactured. A great majority of the number of manufacturers whose prices were used as a basis fo r these valuations offer their goods at Savannah for cash at figures which correspond with these values. Any one buying at a distince from Savannah should add the freight to that point to obta in its local wholesale cash value. This subtracted from the price charged for the goods will give one a fair idea of what is charged as profit. Goorls are sold very close for cash, but when sold on time dealera are compelled to charge full price to cover interest, cost of collection and bad debts.
It is impossible to fix exact values for an entire season upon mercantile goods subject to the fluctuations of the market, hence these values, while considered fairly approximate, are to be regarded rather as comparative and not ab;3olute.

A SUGGESTION TO WATERMELON GROWERS.
.AN AD DRESS DELIVERED BY DR. GEORGE F . P AYNE A'I' 'THE !lfl~ET
J~G OF THE GEORG I A STATE AGRICUL'.rURAL SOCIE'.rY A'I RRUNS-
WlCK, GA., ON FEBRUARY - , 1894.
M. P,esident and Gentlem en of the Geo1gia 8tate Agricultural Society:
Last summer our attention was called to a statement wllich appears to be pretty well acknowledged as a f11.ct that watermelons cannot be successfully ~rown a second or third season on the same land, even with the use of fertilizers. A be lief is entertained by several growers with whom the matter was discussed that if the vines of watermelons were not allowed to wither and decay in the field a good crop could easily be raised the second season; but even if the drainage water from such fields of decaying vines and melons runs over land as yet unplanted in watermelons, the land so impregnated will fail to produce a crop if planted in melons the succeeding year. There are parties, however, who raise successive crops of watermelons on the same land season after season with very s::nal\ amounts of fflrtilizers.
Thinking it might possibly be a deficiency in ~orn e particular fertilizing material which was q uickly ex hausted from most soils, a watPrmelou was reduced to ashes to find out how much available mine..al matter is removed from the soil by a fair crop.
Burning a large watermelon to ashes would not be au easy job under any circumstances, but when it must be done in a dish ho.lrling only a s mall cupfu l-and not a drop of Juice, not a single seed, nor a piece of rind must be lost, and not a particle of foreign matter must get into the ashes from any source-i t becomes, indeed, quite an arduous matter. A fine, handsome, luscious watermelon is a very tempting article when sliced wide open on a hot day in Jn!v, but not a particle of it was tasted. 'l'he juice was evaporated to a syrup, the syrup evaporated to dryness, and the residue burnt to ashes. The rinds were heated until thoroughly dry, when they would take tire and bum like so much wood. The juice, pulp, rind and seeds were finally reduced to ashes, and the ashes thoroughly mixed.
The melon selected weighed twenty-five and one-fourth pounds, and was a handsorue fellow of the Augm;ta or Rattlesnake variety. It was sold as having been raised within ten miles of Atlanta. The ashes obtained from , this large melon would not make more than two h eaping tablespoonfuls. They weighed a little les~ than two ounces. Over twenty-five puunds, o"r the bulk of the watermelon, consisted of the materi~ls extracted from the air and soil water. It is not necessary to reproduce the many figures and calculation~ of the analysis. Only the lesso n they teach will be briefly stated, and for compuison will be given the amounts of phosphoric acid and pot!lsh taken from the soil by average crops of cotton and corn. A .::ommon yield of an acre in cotton is 200 pounds of lint cotton and 400

pounds of teed, or 600 pounds of seed cotton; fifteen bushels of corn per acre is a frequent crop, and that of w~~otermelons about half a carload Upon such crops as a basis are the following figures calculated. Suppos: ing that the cotton, cotton seed, corn and melons only are removed from the fie ld, and that the remaining part of the plants are plowed under, 200 pounds of lint cotton and 400 pounds of seed carry away from an acre of laud four and one-fourth pounds of phosphoric acid; fifteen bushels of corn carry away from an acre of land six pounds of phosphoric acid, and half a carload of watermelons carry away from an acre of land three and three-fourths pounds of phosphoric acid. This shows that the watermelon crop does not take away from the soil scarcely as much phosphoric acid as. either the cotton or the corn.
Two hundred pound>~ of lint cotton and four hundred pounds of seed carry away from an acre of land ~ix pounds of potash.
Fifteen bushels of corn carry awt~.y from an acre of land three and onehalf pounds of potash.
Hair a carload of watermelons carry away from an acre of land seventeen and three-fourths pounds of potash.
'l.'his is an immense quantity of potash removed by the watermelons, as much removed from the soil as would be carried away by three crop~ of cotton and cottonseed or five crop!:! of corn. If the cottonseed were returned to the soil and only the lint sold, over t-hirteen crops of lint cotton would be required to remove as much potash from the soil as the one crop of melons.
The nitrogen or ammonia removed from the soil by the melon crop is not as large as might be inferred, the juice ooly containing about one .fiftieth of one per cent., the pulp about seven-fiftieths of one.per cent., the rind about twelve-fiftieths of one per cent. and the seed about one and one-fourth per cent. of nitrogen. 'rhe juice constitutes about one-half of the melon, and the seeds are a very small proportion.
A crop of cotton and cottonseed may remove twenty-nine pounds of nitrogen from an acre.
A crop of ('Orn may remove about fourteen pounds, and a half carload of melons about as much as the corn.
The great demand then upon the laud is for potash. Some soils naturally contain much potash. Clay soils, being formed by the decomposition of felds_par or granite, contain more or less potash, those clays being richest in available potash which have not been too thoroughly leached. Sandy soils are not rich in potash, and when it is applied to them, it is readily leached out by the rains. The soils of the upper half of the State should, as a rule, contain more potash than those of the lower half, as the clays of the latter portion have been subjected to more washing and transportation , and hence leaching.
A common amount of fertilizer used to an acre of ground in Georgia is two hundred pounds. Fertilizers average ten per cent. of available phosphoric acid and two per cent. of potash; so. this would be an application of twenty pounds of available phosphoric acid and four pounds of potash, or, in other words, over four times as mueh phosphoric acid is put back as the waterlllelon takes oil; yet it would tak~over four years of such

Jertilization to put back the potasll taken away by the one single crop of melons. :No wonder melons do not do well thus starved to death.
As potash and available phosphoric acid cost about the same, chemical manuring can be done much more advantageously and fully as cheaply by using more potash a.nd less phosphoric acid. '!'he potash should be u 1ed in the form of sulphate of potash and not as chloride or muriate of potash, as the watermelon prefers the former, as there was only a minute a nount of chlorides found in the watermelon upon analysis, but a considerable quantity of sulphates.
The following is suggested as a formula for a watermelon fetilizer, which will furnish a libtral amount of potash and other fertilizing material per acre:

Acid phosphate . . . . . Sulphate of potash . . . Dried blood . . . . . . . .

. 100 pounds 50 pounds
. 35 pounds

Of course a much larger quantity can be used per acre if the land is well

prepared and a large crop is desired.

M. Georged Ville, the eminent agricultural chemist of France, states as

a general proposition: 'Return to the soil by the aid of manure more calcic

phmphate, potash and lime than the crops have taken out of it; r~store to

tbe soil about fifty per cent. of the nitrogen of the crops.'

'l'h~ acid phosphate in the above formula furnishes ample calcic phos-

phate and lime.

,

Cotton-seed meal can be used in the above formula in the place blood.

If this is done, the quantity should be doubled, as cotton-seed meal con-

tains only a little over half the percentage of nitrogen found in blood.

These investigations were undP.rtaken in the hope that they might be

of some dirtct benefit to our people.

If they should prove so, the time.spent upon them, which was princi-

pally at n ight after office hours, will not be r~gretted.

:Cr. Payne adds these additional suggestions to those who desire to raise very early melons: Nitrate of soda furnishes nitrogen in a more quickly available form than either blood or cotton-seed meal, its use is desiral.Jle for very early crops. The following will make a good proportion:

Acid phosphate . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

With acid pbo8phate containing fourteen per cent. available phosphoric acid, sulphate or po~ash containing fifty per cent. available potash, dried blood containing nitrogen equivalent to sixteen per cent. of ammonia and nitrate of soda containing uitrogen equivalent to eighteen per cent. of ammonia-the percentage of available plant food in such goods would be:

COMMERCIAL FERTILIZERS.

THEIR PER CEN'J.' AGE OF VALUABLE PLANT FOOD.
We are often asked by farmers why it is that so much unnecessary material is found in the ordinary fertilizers on the market. A common composition of these goods is about 10 per cent. of available phosphoric acid, about 2~ per cent. ammonia, and about 2 per cent. potash. 'fhis is a total of 14~ per cent. of available plant food, or 14~ pounds in every 100 pounds of fertilizer.
This may appear a small percentage, yet when the source of the materials and the urgent demand for low-priced fertilizers is taken _into consideration, there are excellent reasons for such a condition of affairs.
There are certain materials offered upon the market which contain plant food. S~me of them are solq at very low prices, which make:them availhie as fertilizers. Bones, phosphate rock, cotton-seed meal, blood, tankage, sulphate of ammonia., nitrate of soda, muriate of potash, sulphate of potash and kainit.are such materials.
Phosphate rock is our cheapest and most used source of phosphoric acid; cotton-seed meal is one of our cheap sources of nitrogen, and kainit is largely used as a source of potash.
Now, 100 pounds of phosphate rock only contain about 30 pounds of phosphoric acid, and to render this 30 pounds of phosphoric acid available as plant food rf'quires in round numbers about 100 pounds of sulphuric acid added to it. Then the 200 pound mixture will contain the whole of the 30 pounds of phosphoric acid, or' 15 pounds in 100; or in other words, it will be a 15 per cent. ''acid phosphate." Phosphate rock is a combination of lime with phosphoric acid, and it also contains some impuritie!', such as sand, etc. Sulphuric acid when added to phosphate rock seizes a large portion of the lime, and forms sulphate of lime, leaving the phosphoric acid available as plant food. If it were possible to secure a perfectly pure phosphate rock we could only make about a 23 per cent. "acid phosphate" with it by this process. It is possible to leach out the phosphoric acid from the "acid phosphate" and evaporate the solution down, and thus produce a remarkably high grade of "acid phosphate." This of course increases the cost of the goods very much. It is possible now to buy goods running from 40 to 50 per cent. available phosphoric acid, but the demand is limited. as every one wishes cheap fertilizers. Such an article is intrinsically worth three times as much as a 15 per cent. acid phosphate. With 15 per cent. acid phosphate selling at $13 a ton, a 45 per cent. one should bring $39 Even at this figure t.he higher priced article would be the most economical on account of the freight, as it would only be one-third of that of tbe lower grade goods. Another factor comes, however, into the ma.tter, which is. the additional cost of producing the more concentrated article. An actual pound of available phosphoric acid sells at a higher and higher price as it becomes more and more pure. While it is worth 4 cents a pound in anordinary" acid phosphate," it sells for ~2. 50 a pound in a perfectly pure condition, as used by the chemists.
Cotton seed meal is one of the large sources of nitrogen, 'yet as it is put

upon the market it on ly contains nitrogen equivalent to Sz per cent. of am-
monia. The raw cotton seed itself contains a still smaller percentage before the removal of the hulls and oil. This partial concentration of nitro gen in the cotton-seed meal is too expensive to undertake for fertilizing purposes alone. It i::~ the extraction of the valuable cotton seed oil upon which the industry chiefly depends to make the business renumerativt>. If agriculturists could atforcl to use the most concentrated ammoniates which it is possible to produce, such ammoniates could be made far cheaper from other materials than colton seed. Blood is a by-product from the slaughter houses, and contains nitrogen equivalent to about 16 per cent. of ammonia, and while higher per ton, usually costs less per pound for the nitrogen it conains than the cotton-seed meal. If cotton-seed meal was worth nothing except as a fertirzing material, this might not be the case,. but cotton :seed me~l is also a valuable cattle food. Nitrate of soda is also a very concentrated form of nitrogen. It can be bought containing nitrogen equivalent to over 18 per cent. of ammonia. Perfectly pure nitrate of soda contains nitrogen equivalent to only between 19 and 20 per cen-t. of ammonia.
Perfectly pure nittogen and ammonia are both gases, and for fertilizing purposes must be fixed by combination with some other body. Ammonia gas is now sold in a liquid form , compressed by heavy pressure into iron cylinders for the manufacture of ice. Such liquified ammonia gas it is, of course, impractical to use. Sulphate of ammonia is ammonia ga~ com-
bined with sulphuric acid, which holds it. Pure s ulphate of ammonia. contains over 25 per cent. of actual ammonia.
Kainit is an impure potash mineral, only containing about 12 per cent. of potash. Muriate or potash contains 50 per cent. of actual potash; it can be .bought at very low figures consideriu~ its contents of potash . The sulphate can be bought at a little higher figure containing also about 50 per cent. of potash. If we consider "acid phosphate" in an unadulterated state as containing 15 per cent. of available phosphoric acid, and cotton-
meal as cont!lining nitrogen equivalent to Sir per cent. of ammonia., and kai-
nit as carrying 12.per cent. of potash, fertil izers cannot be made to run very high from such materials in their crude form. For instance, sixty pounds of 15 per cent. acid phosphate contains nine pounds of available pho!<phoric acid (that h ,it contains l~r of 15 pounds), 25 pounds of cotton seed meal
contains t of 'the 8~ pounds of nitrogen equivalent to ammonia in 100
pounds of cotton -seed meal, which will be about 2r'r/rJ per cent. ; 15 pounds
of kainit will contain 1 ..frr pounds of potash-as 15 pounds is l !rJ of the 100
pounds of kainit containing 12 pounds of potash per 100 pounds. By using greater or smaller proportions of each ingredient the percent-
ages can be varied , uut such formulre cannot be expect.ed to contain more than 13 or 14 per cent. or' plant food.
If 16 per cent. blood or J6 per cent. nitrate of soda is used all the percentages can be increased if desired. By the use of such material as the high grad~ acid phosphates, which can be bought, running as high as 18 per cent. available phosphoric acid, ,sulphate of ammonia cout:~ining over 24 per cent. of ammonia, and of sulphate or muriate of potash running over 50 per cent. of potash, very much higher grades of fertilizers can be produced than the ordinary average of tho~e n th e market. Fi fty pounds of

156

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE-GEORGIA.

an 18 per cent. "acid phosphate,. w-.~uld give 9 per cent. available phoa phoric acid, 25 pounds of 24 per cent. sulphate of ammonia would give 6 per ceut. of ammonia, and 25 pounds of sulphate or muriate of potash containing fiO per ceut of potash would give 12! per cent. of potash. The {]emand, however, is for low-priced goods, and many buyers do not stop to consider the quantity of plllnt food in a fertilizer, but think the cheaper they buy a ton the better the bargain. H. one desires to buy a gold ring .or a certain size be finds they become cheaper and cheaper as they contain less gold, though to the eye they appear t>qually well at first. One has to take the j eweler's word or go to a chemise to decide the matter. A farmer ba!! to take the manufacturer's word or go to a chemist also. Some may think they can tell the quality by the smell, taste or color. '!'bey a1e badly mistaken.
A fertilizer running 9 per cent. avllilable phosphori c acid, 6 per cent. of .ammonia and 12~ per ceut. of potash costs a manufacturer $7.20 for the phosphoric acid, $ 15.60 for the ammon ia and $10 for the potas h, and $2 60 for mixing, sacking, inHpecting, etc. This will be $35.40. Such goods can be purchased if desired . If low percentage goods are not desired one -should not buy them, as higher percentage fertilizers can be secured if one is willing to pay for them. Where freights are high considerable money can be mved by using hi gh gr<~ d e gooch. 'fo in crease the standard would be to lessen the use of cotton seed ml'aland the lower grades of phosphate ock in manufactured fertilizers. This would, of course, make fertilizers troportionately somewhat higher in Jrice.
Pure ph osphoric acid and pure potash qu ickly take up water from the air, and they would be diffcu lt to mana~e as fertilizers. 'fhey could not be kept pure unless sealed a r and water tight. Pure ammonia is a gas under Ordinary conditions, and, of course, would be unmanageable in such form. These bodies, h owever, can be combined with each other and thus lmndled more readily. Phosphate of .Potash can be made from phosphoric a cid .and potash, &nd phosphate of ammonia from phosphoric acid and ammonia. These two white substances would look very dis~imilar from the ordinary " guanos '1 blackPned with la.mpblack, and even if there was no increased cost in ridding the crude materials of their impurities, the market value would be very high. At the low valuation of four cents a pound for available phosphoric acid a ton of pure pho: pht)ric acid would be worth :$80. A ton of pure potash valued at four cents a pound would be $80, and a ton of pure ammonia at only thirteen cents a pound would be $260. The ir<igbt on such chemicals"' ould be proportionately low according to their concentration, but they are, of course, 0ut of the question, as they cannot nt present be manufactured except at considerable additional cost per pound of plant food. -
At equat prices per pound for plant food a high grade fertilizer is cheaper tltan a low priced one, as the freight is less; it does not take so much bagging, and it takes less work to band.Ie it. Farmers should buy their goods ~n analysis.as the manufacturers do theirs. No reasonable man should expect to buy a fertilizer containing twenty seven per rent. of plant food at the same price as one containing only thirteen per cent.

BONE MEAL.

Bone meal is a. valuable fertilizer which is coming into more general use

in Georgia. than heretofore. Bone meal contains a. large amount both of

phosphoric acid and nitrogen, and sells in the market at about $24.00 a.

ton. In comparing bone meal with ordinary manufactured fertilizers it is

important to have a clear conception of what is really meant by bone

3' meal, bone black, "dissolved bone" and acid phospllate. Bone meal is fine
ground raw bone; this should contain about per cent. of nitrogen and

about 22 per cent. of total phosphoric acid; when steamed, however, the

nitrogen runs considerably lower and the phosphoric acid increases in

proper proportion. Bone black is roasted bone, and contains no nitrogen.

"Dissolved bone" may be acidulated raw bone, acidulated bone black or

:acidulated phosphate rock. Acidulated phos phate rock is the Jl'iost com-

mon form of "dissolved bone" on "the market. A true dissolved raw bone

eontain!:l nitrogen. The agricultural value of a. bone meal depends upon

its percentage of phosphoric acid and nitrogen, and to decide its compara-

tive value with other fertilizers it should be put upon ,a. similar basis. It

is often said that "dissolved bone" is far better than acid phosphate.

"This depends upon the " dissolved bone' '; if it contain!! about 3~ per cent.

-of nitrogen it is, of course, more valuable than an equal weight of acid

phosphate. If the "dissolved bone'' contains no nitrogen it is simply an

.acid phosphate itself.

COMPARA'l'IVE VALUES FOR VARIO US PURPOSES OP THE.
WHOLE SEED AND THE MEAL.
BY DR. GEO RGE F . PAYNE, F . C. S.
From the 11adesman.
The cotton plant bas been grown for many yea rs for th e lint or fiber which adheres to its seed. It is oo ly of recent date tba . the seeds t hemselves have come into prominence as of value. In 1880 t he number of cotton-seed oil mills in the South was very sm a ll; in 1890 they bad increased to 11 9, and there are now over 200 mills, Texas a lone claiming as many as e ighty-five.
The cotton plant 'belo ogs to the natural order of malvacea.e or mallowfl,. and to t h e gen us gossypium. The widely culti vated upland cotton is a. member of the species berbaceum, a nd the seed is call ed green cotton seed in contra-distinction to the black seed of the species barbadense, or sea island cotton. The lint adheres with remarkable tenacity to the green seed, and the closest ginning still leaves them with a cottony appearance . .The black seed after the lint is removed is perfectly smooth and almost polished, being completely free of lint. On occount of this fa ct tbe bulls. of the gre&l seed are light and fluffy and inclined to mat or fel t together, and the hull s of the black cotton seed being comparatively more dense and cornp!etely bare of lin t are .not inclin ed to make themselves more bulky than the meats by stickiu g together like the hulls o f the g ree n seed_ This difference makes the green seed more desirable for p rodu cin g oil and meal, as the meats can be s~parated from the hulls by a p rocess of screening, but in the case of the black seed it bas not yet been found practicable to separate the hulls, as t he/ have no fluffiness to prevent them from going through the screen with the meats.
Seed cotton is about one-third lin t and about two-thirds sPed by weigh t. One bale of lint cotton furni shes about thirty bushel s of seed . 'l'wo . bushels of seed are req uired per acre for replanting, and as three ac res of land a re us ually req uired to produce a bale of cotton, there will be needed six bushels of cotton seed out of every thirty for resowi ng . 'l'his wiU leave twenty-four bu~hels of seed for every bale of lint, which s urp lus thefarm er can dispose of if b e so desi res. A bushel of cotton seed weigh s thirty pounds and twenty-four busht'ls will be 720 pounds. From a cotton crop of 6,500,000 b~les at 720 pounds of seed to th e bale there \voulri be 2,340,000 tons of seed which the fa rmers h ave at t heir dispc>sal. Upo n this crop of ah rJUt 2,000,000 tons of seed is based the operations of the cotton-seed oil mills of the South.
In 1880 t here were scarcely 30fl,OOO tons of seed crushed . In 1803 the

a mount reached over 1,100,000 tons, or about half .of the available seed. During 1893 the number of gallons of cotton-seed oil produced reached 45,000,0GO, of which 11,131,560 gallons were exported. Many farmers do not sell their seed, preferring to use them directly as fertilfzers or in composts, or as cattle food in preference to hauling them to the mill and hauling the meal back again for the small difference in their favor. Farmers, however, are always ready to sell at fair prices, and the future looks bright for cot'on seed with the demand for its products increasing over the whole world.
r-otton seed are sold by the farmer to the cotton-seed oil mills by the Luf.~el, a bushel being estimated as weighing thirty pounds. This is about sixty-seven bushels to the too . The present price given is 15 cents a bushel, or $10 a ton. 'fhe price of seed has varied between wide limits, as much as 25 cents a bushel having been given. The pri.ce given by the mills in competition with each other is much influenced by the price of lard, as the oil is largely used in the manufacture of this product.
Cotton-seed oil in being made available for commerce furnishes several valuable by-products, such as "linters'' (a short-staple cotton), cotton seed meal, cotton seed bulls and so!l.p stock. A ton of cotton seed will vary somewhat in its yield according to the quality of the seed and the skill with which it is managed in the mill. A ton of cotton seed will ordinarily yield:

The cost of sixty-seven bushels, or one ton of cotton seed, at 15 cents a bushel, will be $10.
Th!!re are several factors which have a decided influence upon the profits of an oil mill outside of its business management. Crude oil varies in price; the demand for hulls for feeding purposes at one point consumes all produced, and at another place it may be so small and shipping facilities o poor that none may be sold for thi~ purpose; the meal and lint also flu ctuate in price; hence the profit upon a ton of cotton seed can be only co mputed by cal culating the market value of its products at a given point, and from this subtracting not only the cost of the seed, but the cost per ton which is-1equired to operate the mill, the wear and tear and yearly depreciation of the plant per ton, and the proper p1o rata of repairs and interest on the investment.
C01vl'ON SEED.
Cotton Reed are valuable to the farmer as well as to the mill owner, and the question as to what price is a profitable one is an important matter to both parties. The price at which it is profitable to sell depends upon the manner in which the seed will be used if not sold. If the seed are used as a fertilizer alone such use is a far less remunerative one than if the s eed are first used as a feeding stuff and the manure produced then used a~ a

fertilizer. Some mills in purchasing cotton seed do not pay for them it!' money but give cotton seed meal in exchange. Mills form erly gave from 700 to 725 pounas of meal for each ton of whole cotton seed. This transaction was based upon the fact that the oil possesses scarcely any manurial value. Such a basis is not currect if the material is to be used as a fee ding stuff, as the oil and bulls are both of value as a food. To receive 700 to 725 pounds of cotton seed meal for a ton of cotton seed is not a profitablA transaction for the farmer. He only gets back the m eal in his ton of seed and presents the miller with forty-one gallons of oil and 900 pounds of hulls, or over half the value of the seed. Added to this are his hauling expenses to and from the mill. It is true the manurial value of the oil and hulls is very small, 'but their .food values are considerable, aud that the farmer cannot utilize them or does not care to do so is no reason why he should not get something for them.
The value of whole cotton seed have recently become better understood by the farmers, and hence it is now more fully acknowledged by the millers. As stated above, prices have ranged as high as 25 cents a bushel, or $16.75 a ton. 'fhe present price is 15 cents a bushel, or $10 a ton. Or if' meal is prefe rred, 1,000 pounds are given. Low prices are unprofitable tO.. the farmer, and high-priced seed destroy the profits of the mills.
The fertilizing materials in whole cotton seed are: Nitrogen, 3.07 per centum, or 61.4 pounds per ton. Phosphoric acid, 1.02 per centum, or 20.4 pounds per ton. Potash, 1.17 per centum, or 23.4 pounds per ton. And in the meal they are : Nitrogen, 7.08 per centum, or'141.6 pounds per ton. Phosphoric acid, 2.80 pet centum, or 56.0 pounds per ton. Potash, 1.80 per centum, or 36.0 pounds per ton. In the fertilizer market phosphoric acid and potash are of equa l value,. and nitrogen is worth about four time~ as much as either of tlle others, hence in one ton of meal selling at $20 there will be:
141.6 pounds nitrogen at 12 16-100 cents per pound ............. .. ....... .....$17 20
56.0 pounds phosphoric acid at 3 04 -100 cents per pound .... .... ......... 1 70 36.0 pounds potash at 3 04.100 cents per pound.. ... ............. ... ... ........ 1 10

As these two calculations are made upon a basis which is identical as to values anrl 1,1pon the actual analysis of the materials, it affords a ready comparison of cotton-seed meal and whole cotton seed as to their valuable contents of fertilizing material. They are to each other as $20 is to $8.80, or as the meal is worth 1 per 100 pounds, the 880 pounds contains fertilizing material equivalent to a ton of whole seed.

is of advantage to the farmer. If his seed are sold at $10 a ton to purchase other fertilizers it is not to his advantage to do so, as the manurial material in 1,000 pounds of cotton seed meal if bought upon the usu!il market in ordinary fertilizers will cost him about 16 cents a pound for nitrogen and 4 Ct'nts a pound each for phosphoric acid and potash, which upon calculation will be $13.16 for the equivalent of his 1,000 pounds of meal.
The comparative food values of cotton seed and cotton-seed meal have not been studied as closely by the farmPr as should be done. B oth the seed and meal are too rich to feed alone, and should be modified by poorer materials to a proper ratio. It is claimed that only from 3 to 5 per cent. of tile manurial value of cotton seed meal is lost when fed to cattle and the manure saved. This must depend largely upon the character of the other food given, and the completeness with which the manure is re covered.
To compare tbe feed ing values of cottou seed and the meal it is best to give the food analysis of each . Whole cotton seed contains:

In the above comparison the values put upon the carbo hydrates, oil and protein are only approximate, but serve well in this particular case, as it is the same food material that is valued in each. Tbe fiber was nor valued in the above, as for comparison it is scarcely necessary. The fiber or woody structure being of small value compared with the ca rbo hydrates, oil and protein, and while existing in much larger quantity in the whole seed on account or the hulls being present, the small percentage found in the meal is far more digeatible.
To the economical aud thrifty farmer cotton seed have a double valuefirst as a food and secon<\!y as a fertilizer. 'l'o use either the whole seed or the meal primarily as a fertilizer is not a full utiliz ~tion of either material. It is safe to estimate that 80 per cent. of the manurial y.alue of these sub-

stances can be secured after feeding. If, then, we estimate a ton of meal as worth in the market about $20 to $20.25, we have the following 0mbined values:
Whole seed, value pe1 ton M a feeding str1ff........... . ............ ..............$ 15 09 Whole seed, 80 per cent. of its manurial value (SS.HOper ton)..... .... . 7 02

The mills in giving 1,000 pounds of meal for one ton of whole seed give back more fertilizing material than is contained in the too of whole seed. H the whole seed and meal are valued upon their fo od analysis alone then the whole seed are w rth three-fourths the value of the meal, but as the meal is twice as valuable as the whole seed as a fertilizer, hence unrl.'' " such circumstances the meal iucrea~es in proportionate value, and one of whole seed will be equivalent to 1,220 pounds of the mAal. 'l'h ese L_, ures are based upon cotton -seed meal at its market value, and are intended for ready comparison of whole seed and meal from dlfferent standpoints, the excellent m echanical condition of the meal being an additional item in its favor.
These values all appear low when compared with other substances on the market, either those used as fertilizers or as food. Whole cottou seed at $10 a ton or cotton-seed meal at $20 a ton both stand th e mort favorable comparison with other fertilize r materials in regard to pric3 compared with fertili zer value, and as fo ods at the above figure they compare most advantageously with other feed ing stuffs; hence, if we compare cotton-seed and its meal with other materials we tiud them occupying the unique position of being of unusual value both as food and as manure. If cotton seed meal is worth either $20 a ton as a food or $20 a ton as a fertilize r, tiJen if its food value is first secured, and 80 per cent. of its manurial value is recovered, there will be, in tile fir !t instll.nce, the food value of '20, and in the second, 80 per cent. of $20, or $16, a total value to the economicai and thrifty man of $36 a ton. In partial acknowledgment of this fact Northern and Western farmers pay from $~6 to S30 a ton for cotton-seed

meal. 'rhe Indiana experiment station, commenting on the actual com~ parative values of feeding stuff:~, puts cotton-seed meru as costing $26 a ton in Indiana, but being actually worth $39.72 to the farmer.
In managing either whole cotton seed or the meal it is well to bear in mind uot only the actual contents of valuable material, but also the mechanical condition of the two substances. Whole cotton seed requires more handling to fit it for either a fertilizer or food than does the already beautifully prepared meal.
CO'l'TON-SEED OIL.
Comparatively a very small proportion of cotton-seed oil is produced from the sea island or black seed, the great bulk of it is obtained from the upland or green seed. In the manufacture of cotton-seed oil ,and its byproducts every possible saving is taken advantage of, as what may seem apparently a very small saving becomes a large sum when multiplied by the great quantities of material consumed in the large mills. Manual labor, although cheap in the south, is avoided as far as possible, as mechanical appliances do the work still more cheaply. Good wages are paid, however, to all employes, as rapid, intelligent work is most profitable to the mills.
In the description of a cotton-seed oil mill, to enter into minute details would be unnecesi!a~, as mills vary somewhat in the methods by which they accomplish the same results. A general description of a successful, well-conducted mill will give a very fair idea of the general management and the principles involved in them all.
In storing cotton seed it is important to keep them cool and dry, as th" heat and other changes produced by fermentation is detrimental to the character of the oil and meal produced. Seed which have been trampled upon and crushed to any great extent before storing are prone to heat fron' oxidation of the exposed oil, and increase the danger of fermentation and undesirable changes in the seed.
Upon the harvesting and ginning of the cotton crop the seed are secure1l by the mills .for the operations of the season. The ~;~eed are usually stored in large wooden buildings built for the purpose, some of them hold ing 7,000 tons and upwards, which at $ LO a ton is an investment itself of $70,000 for raw material. 'rhe seed are conveyed by bucket elevator-~ direct from the cars to the top of the storage building and there dumpect automatically. These elevators are operated by the big engine which furnishes the power for all of the machinery. From the storage room the seed are carried by screw conveyers and bucket elevators, where necessary, to the "boll reel." This boll reel is a perforated cylinder revolving within a closed box. The openings in the steel cylinder are larger than the seed, hence they fall through into the closed box, and the larger substances found in the seed are retained in the perforated cylinder. The cylinder is opened from time to time and the foreign bodies removed. They consist of cotton bolls (the capsuies which originally contained the seed cotton), flocks of lint, pieces of corn fodder and many other things besides, which by some strange chance got among the seed. These materials are garbled by hl,\n~, 1to secure a very impure variety of cotto_n, which after being sep-

arated from the bolls is sold as "grabots." From the boll reel the seed go automatically to the "sand reel.'' Thi~:> sand reel is a revolving steel cylinder with perforations smaller than the cotton seed. These openings permit the sand and all dirt smaller than the seed to fall through them. From the sand reel the seed travel to a fan, which blows them in a thin layer over a battery of magnets, which attract and hold any iron particles which may have escaped from the boll reel or sand reel. 'fhis magnet box has an opening at the side by which the iron particles can be removed from time to time; eight and ten-penny nails, ecrews and horse shoe nails occur in considerable numbers. After this thorough cleaning the seed go to tbe "linters." The linters are a species of very close cutting gin which removes as far as possible all lint from the seed. 'fhe lint cotton as it comes from the linters is condensed into rolls, which rolls are carried into the press room, where there is a regular cotton press, and pressed into Lales. This lint from the cotton seed is sold under the same name as that of the machines which secure it, that is, "linters." It would seem that not much lint cotton could be secured from a previously ginned seed, yet a large mill will secure about eight bales a day of 500 pounds each.
Near the linters stand the saw-filing machines and gummers, which are operated by power, and which are kept at work sharpening the saws of the linters. From th <J linters the seed are transported to the hullers. The bullers consist of cylindrical cases containing stationary horizontal knives, fastened upon t _~eir inner periphery. Within these horizontal cases :evolve drums carrying knives which barely miss those upon the inner surface of the drums. The seed falling into the drums are rapidly cut to pieces. The meats or kernels, being somewhat loose in the hulls, they readily drop out, either immediately or with the shaking they eventually get.
From the hullers the seed are conveyed to the separating screens. These are composed of revolving screens which permit the meats to fall through their meshes but retain their bulls on account of their tendency to felt or adhere together, due to the roughness of the short lint which is still there in spite of its being cut so close by the linters. From the revolving screens the partly separated hulls go to flat, inclined shaking Ecreens which sift out the remainder of the meats. These screens are arranged in series according to the capacity of the mill, the bulls being delivered from one to the other until they are free of meats. Tlie hulls, freed as far as possible from the meats, are carried automatically (Mall the work is done) to the packing room, where they are pressed into sacks or bales, or further conveyed to be used as fuel in the furnaces, as the case may be.
The clean meats or kernels go from the separating screens to chilled iron rollers, and passing between them are mashed fiat. From the rollers they now go to the "cookers.'' These cookers are large, jacketed steam kettles holding 700 pounds of meats each. 'fhese cookers are watched over by a man called a cooker, and up~n his judgment is managed this part of the work; any failure upon his part to judge correctly means loss to the mill. The cooker charges each kettle by pulling a lever which delivers the proper charge into each, and an opening at the side of each kettle, closed with a slide, permits him at any time to withdraw a sample with a wooden paddle used for the purpose and judge of its condition. Either too little cooking or too much co~king gives a small yield of oil. The cooking must be

just right for the t>t!st results. An under-cooked clurge also appears to leave some water in the meats, which causes the cloths to burst in the oil presses, to the damage of these cloths (which are expensive). The heat.ing Tenders the oil limpid, expands the oil cells, probably bursting them, and -dries out the water, which is not only detrimental in the oil presses, but -cause!! the meal to deteriorate much faster than is the case when more perfectly dry.
When properly cooked the meats are duruped into a conveyor, which -carries them to the "former." At the former experienced workmen work with clock-like regularity. Upon the platform of the former, which stands ahout wai3t high, a porter throws down a steel plate about one foot wide and about two and a half feet long. Two men stand at the former, and one throws a piece of camel's hair cloth, about six feet long and a foot wide, lengthways upon the steel plate. The second workman pulls a lever .and a charge of meats three or four inches deep is deposited over the cloth upon a space almost as large as the steel plate. The oth6r workmen immediately fold each end of the cloth over the charge, their surplus length -causing them to lap. A Ieaver is pulled and down comes the plunger, which is about the size of the platform. It immediately releases itself from the cake of meats and returns to its original position, leaving the meats pressed to a cohe~ent mass or cake wrapped in cloth; this the porter ,seizes, with the underlying steel plate, which he uses as a kind of waiter to carry the cake, and places it in the hydraulic oil pres!, which is made to hold a number of these mas!!es. The two workmen labor to keep up with the hot meats as they come from the cookers, and the porters trot !back and forth with their steel plates and loads of cake, rapidly filling the pres3es. As each of the presses receives its fifteen cakes their attendant pulls a lever and the mighty ram at their base slowly rises upward with a pressure of 3,000 to 3,500 pounds to every square inch on its surface of 201 square inches. The lower portions of the press, carrying the cakes with them, continue to rise slowly as the ram ascends. As the m8.8!:! becomes more and more compact, the oil begins to flow, at first in tiny streams, and .as the mass becomes still more compact, the oil gushes forth in torrents, a large stream pouring from the spout which delivers the oil as it srurts from every portion of .the press. ,The dark, murky oil passes through pipes made to receive it into a large reservoir beneath the presses. The murky, muddy oil is pumped from the reservoir into settling tanks, where the -viuious foreign substances are allowed to gradually settle and leave the oil in a somewhat clearer condition . .After the full pressure has been reached in each press and the cakes of meats contract no longer, the chief portion -of the oil bas been pressed from the oil cells of the meats; the oil, however, continues to run in small streams from the inner portions of the meats, hence each press is allowed to arain as long as possible, this is usually about twenty minutes. While the operation is going on in one pre~~s the other presses are being filled, and one after another they are filled, -operated and allowed to drain, until the whole series are under pressure; then the first press is relieved of its pressure by a reverse movement of tbe lever, and the heavy ram slowly descends, carrying the lower parts of t lie press with it. The attendants now withdraw the compacted cakes of meal, still hot from their recent cooking. The pressure has been "so great that

each seems as solid as a piece of wood. The cakes are now quickly laid oo trucks and curied to the "stripping table;" there the workmen stand, called "strippers" or " skinners." They rapidly strip the camel's hair cloth from the cakes, throwing them over to the workmen at the "former," each cake still appearing, after the cloth has been removed, as if yet covered with the material, on account of the enormous pressure making a perfect. impression of it in the mass of the cake.
The camel's hair cloth used for covering these cakes is made of very expensive material , hence the sewing machine is kept industriously at. work to kel'p them in repair and to make them last as long as possible.
These board-like cakes are now thrown on trucks and rolled quickly away to the cooling room, where the cakes are shoved into racks to keep them separate from each other and allow them to cool as rapidly as possible, and to dry also, if there is any moisture remaining. After standing in the cooling room from twelve to twenty-four hours, the cakes are fed into a machine called the "cake cracker." 'l'bi~ cake cracker is composed of two revolving rollers with spike-like proje.,tions; these, revolving in opposite directions, draw the cakes into the cracker rapidly crushing them into a number of small pieces the size of a hi ckory nut. '!'his machine breaks up the cakes in this manner that they may be more easily and cheaply conveyed by means of mechanical conveyors than it could possibly be done by band.
From the cake cracker the broken cakes are conveyed to either burr mills or roller mills, as the case may be, and ground into meal. 'fhis meal is then either packed into sacks for sale in that condition, or if the mill bas a fertilizer factory operated in connection with it, the meal is conveyed! direct to the "mixers," where it is mixed with acid phosphate and potash,. constituting a complete fertilizer.
The crude oil is drawn from the settling tanks to the bleaching or refining tanks, where it is mixed with a certain per cent. of caustic soda, which unites with the coloring matter and forms a kind of soap. Part of the oil is also saponified. 'rhe whole mass settling carries with i,t the albuminous and mucilaginous materials as well as most of the coloring matter. These substances collect at the bottom of the tank, leaving a supernatant oil of a light straw color. This is drawn off as refined oil, and the "bottoms'' or "settlings" are drawn from the lower portions'of the tank and sold as soap stock. '!'hose portions of the oil which are not as bright and cll'ar as desired are run through :filter presses, which force the oil by heavy pressure through :filtering cloths. This refined oil is now pumped into barrels or. tank cars built for the purpose.
l>RODUCTS OF 'l' HE OIL.
Cotton-seed oil furnishes: Summer yellow cotton-seed oil; winter yellow cotton-seed oil ; summer white cotton-seed oil; salad oil ; miner's oil; "blown'' oxydized or "base" oil; sardine oil; a dye stuff; soap; adu~ter auts of olive oil ; adulterants of linseed oil; adulterants of castor oil; adulterants of lard oil; adulterants of rape oil, and adulterants of sperm oil; cotton-seed stearine (used to make candles and adulterate tallow, a basis of lard; cottolene (cotton -seed oil and beef suet) ; a basis for cheese; a basis for medicinal ointments; a basis for butter.

Cotton-seed meal furui ~;JHs: Cotton-seed oil (by repressing); a valuable -cattle food; a valuable fertilizer.
Cotton - eed bulls furnish: A cattle food; paper; fuel; ashes; potash. Of 1h e cotton-seed oils those of a light straw color usually have a better fl11vor than the highly bleached water white oil. Most of the lard labeled "refined'' lard is largely cotton-seed oil, mixed with some fat of greater solidity to give it the proper consistency. A very popular name for such lard is ''compound lard.'' Cottolene, now so extensively advertised (and a very nice article it is, too ), is made of cotton-seed oil and beef suet. Blown oil is made by warming cotton-seed oil and blowing air through it. Oxidation soon begins to take place and the reaction k eeps up the heat without fur ther warming until the process is finished. This produces a thick oil of high viscosity, well adapted to adulterate castor oil, simulating it both in den sity and viscosity. Cotton-seed stearine is the solid fat obta ined from cotton-seed oil by cooling and pressing, when the more fluid oil runs off and cakes of stearine are 1eft behind. It resembles tallow, and is used not only to make cand les, but in the manufacture of lard and butterine. The use of cotton-seed oil as salad oil is well known. In fact, enormous quantities were in the past exported to Italy and France to be bottled there and distributed as olive oil over the whole world, either containing a percentage of real olive oil or in some cases being cotton seed oil alone The larger percentage of oil for such purposes was shipped to Italy, and of recent yeari! the Italian government bas imposed a heavy import duty upon cotton-seed oil , hen ce cutting off tbe demand almost completely from -that section of the world. The increased uses of the oil for other purposes has more than compensated for this restriction in one direction. Cotton-seed oil having slight drying propertie!:l, is used in making the cheaper grades of linseed oil. It is also used extensively for packing sardines, and it is difficult for anyone to detect by taste the difference between it and the pure olive oil when uEed for such purposes.
CO'l"fON- SEED 1\IEAL.
Cotton-seed meal a9 produced by American mills retains from 10 to 18 11er cent. of oil. As the meal is only about one-third of the whole seed, this would be a Joss to the mills w hich failed to press it out from a little over 3 per cent. to about 6 p er cent. of th e oil contai'led in the whole seed. E uropean miiJs r epressing these meals, wh ich have had much oil left in t h em, have found it remunerative to do so. The work, however, is now <lone so much more thoroughly than it was h eretofore, that the European mills are complaining tl1at our cotton-seed meals do not now conta in as much oil as formerly. To secure all the oil possible with his machinery is, of course, the object of every miller.

The ashes from the hulls are a very desirable and easily marketed commodity, containing as they do large percentages of plant food, tbe percentage of potash alone runniug from 18 to 30 per oent.; if it were not for the enormous beat or the furnaces volatilizing part of the potash, a still larger percentage would be obtaineil.
'l'be many uses to which every part of the cotton plant is put are remarkable. In addition to the above uses of the various products of the seed and the infinite variety of uses of the lint, the stalk itself can be utilized to produce most exc~llent fiber for the manufacture of b ~ gging for cotton . The decortication of the fiber has not been accomplished economically enough by the presE:nt machin e, but excellent bagging has been manufactured. With its wealth of products this plant is a most remarkable illustration of
the wonderfullabratory of nature. Fertil ization is most important for the success of this crop, but the mineral matters of the soil only furnish a. slight skeleton for the mysterious development of the carbon compounds. In the meal is found a co mparatively large mineral percentage, but even in the nt eal 02~ per f!ent. of its substance comes originally from the air and the rain , and the wealth of oil of ~his great crop is made up of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen ex tracted from the rain and air, a mysterious change from water to oil l:>rought about by the Omniscient Chemist.
Cottonseed oil has become most firmly established as one of the food3 of ihe W!"Jrld. It is true, it has had to ma~quarade and di sguise itself in ruany ways to secure a fair trial of its qualiti e~. The recoguition of its valu e has. come rapidly, and food products manufactured from it are now sold for what they really are, and are strougly pushed upon the lines of their own intrinsic worth. 'l'be use of cotton -seed oil in cooking did not at first win the popularity it deserved, as the liquid oil was too easily used in fxcess by a cook accustom ed to lard; this objection has been overcome by using beef suet and c>t,!Jn materials to bring it to the consistency or lard.
Where the sourcei! of the two fats are considered, and their processes of manufacture, the cotton-seed oil shows to a great advantage, being a pure, bland, vegetable oil, free from the risk of disease and other dangers, which may possible accompany an animal fat.

The cotton-seed tnt al produced in the South is a valuable material, and though its worth is somewhat understood, it is not appreciated at its full value on account of existing conditions. The South being largely agricultural and devoting more attention by far to the crops themselves than to stock raising, the true value of cotton-seed as a feed is not obtained. The demand for fertilizers is large and this splendid product is used particularly as a fertil izing material throughout the South. Many cotton-seed oil mills run a fertilizer plant in connection with their other operations, to enable them to dispose of their surplus meal.
Cotton seed meal, while selling at from $20 to $21 per ton in the South, readily sells in New England S tates at from $26 to $30 per ton . It is true t he freightage there must cost something, but it does seem if cotton-seed meal is worth from $26 to $30 to the thrifty New Englander, who does not like to see a dollar investE!d which does not promise a fair return, then it must be a very economical material for those who use it for the 11ame purpose and can secure it at from 20 to $21 per ton.
Cotton-seed meal might almost be considered the "mule" among fertilizers, as it stands an enormous amount of abuse and bad managment and yet gives good results. It con tains the three importa nt fer tili zing elemen ts, nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash. It cannot be washed out of the soil like soluble fertilizers, yet ita fine m echanical condition enables it to quickly decompose into such substan ces that the plant can rapidly a vail itself of its conten.ts of plant food.
Cotton-seed m eal contains, as stated above :

This 7 per cent. and upward of ash or mineral matter contains the phosphoric add a nd potash. Out of the 7.03 per cent. of ash a bout two-thirds is m ade up of these two ingredients. Cotton-seed meal contains about 2~
per cent. of phosp l o ric acid and about lt per cent of potash. The p rotein
or albuminoids contains nitrogen, which is such a valuable ingredient in fertili zers. Cotton-seed meal usually runs from 6.6 per cent. of ni trogen to 7.8 per cent. of nitrogen. The latter figure is unusually high, but during a good crop year, when the seed is secured in the best condition, as during the season just passed, the nitrogen contained in it is inclined to run high. lHol'e t borough separation of the bulls from the meal and more complete ex traction of the oil, naturally gives a higher content of nitrogen in the re sulting meal ; this the mills are now doing, which is shown by the determi na1ion of nitrogen made in many cotton-seed meals analyzed during the past few months by the State chemist of Georgia, the law in that State re
ft uiring in cotton- seed meals at least 71 per cent. of ammonia calculated
from the nitrogen present. 'rhis 7 ~ per cent. requirement of ammonia is Lq uivalentto6.1 8 per cent. of nitrogen. German observers h ave estima ted

the effect of cotton-seed meal as a fertilizer as being 50 per cent. tbe first year, 30 per cent. t.he second year and 20 per cent. foi' the third year. Of course, in very dry seasons the advantage of cotton-seed meal is not . o marked as with a fair amount of moisture; this, however, is true to so me extent of all fertilizers. Cotton-seed meal, as stated above, for the best results from an economical standpoint, should be first used as a feed and the resulting manure then used as a fertilizer. In feeding cotton-seed meal alone, it is far too rich for that purpose, its nutritive ratio being very high. The percentage of protein present in cotton seed meal is quite large, and it has been ascertained that to secure the best results in cattle feeding, the amount of digestive protein fed tihould always be accompanied by a certain propor tion or digestible non-nitrogenous material made up of crude fibre, fat and tJXtractive. The crude protein is the nitrogenous portion of the food and is the most costly. Its chief work is the production of flesh and muscle. The crude fiber, fat and non-nitrogenous extractive matter furnish heat and fat, and in adding their total digestibility together, that of the fat is first multiplied by 2~ to put it upon an equal basis with the other, as its fat and beat producing powers are that much greater. 'fhis nutritive ratio, as it is called, varies for different animals and for different conditions under which they live, and might be stated to be from 4.7 to 8.0 parts digestible non-nitrogenous matter to one part of digestible protein. For milch cows the proportion is considered to be proper with one of protien to 5.4 non-nitrogenous matter. Any decided change from this proportion means waste of food, hence a proper regulation of the different ingredients is an imporh~nt matter. Cotton-seed meal fed alone is apt to produce "scouring" anddigestivtl disturban ce, hence the necessity of feeding it with less rich food is well understood. Cottonseed meal and its value as a fertilizer has already been explained in comparing its value with that of the whole seed.
During the month of January and February of this year (1894) there were exported of cotton-seed meal in :

.Rich as the cottonseed meal appears and poor as the hulls seem in comparison , yet within the last few years cotton-seed hulls have come to the front as a valuable cattle food. While apparently so dry, tasteless and devoid of nourishment, chemical analysis shows that they yet contain EUbstances of much value.
The producers of cotton-seed oil for formerly used their bulls as fuel, and do so now whenever the demand for the hulls is not great enough to keep up with the supply. The ashes produced from the hulls are a valuable commodity on account of the potash and phosporic acid which they contain, there being from 18 to 30 per cent. of potash, chiefly soluble and free from chlorides, and from 5 to 10 per cent. of phosphoric acid, of which from 1 ~ per cent. to 2 per cent. is soluble in water. This shows the cottonseed hull ashes to be more concentrated than ordinary wood ashes. The

demand for such hull ashes is greater than the supply in the New England States, $30 a ton being readily obtained there for them. old at the mills in the South, they bring about $20. The ashes, if containing 30 per cent. 1:>f potash, are cheap at $2-l per ton, as this is allowing 4 ceuts per pound <>nly for the 600 pounds of potash present and not taking into consideration the phosphoric acid. 'ro burn the hulls, however, is not an economical proceeding for the mills, as it takes about thirty-five tons of hulls to produce one ton of ashe!', and even at $30 per ton for the ashes, and allowing 75 cents pet ton for the bulls as fuel, which will give $26.25 for their fuel value there would be total return to the mills of $56.25. Now, if the bulls
a re s~ld for feed at even $2 per ton, they will yield a return of 70. for the
t hirty-five tons. Cotton-seed hulls, in many sections, readily bring $3 and upwards as a cattle food. The problem of cheap packing for such low priced material has been a serious one. Various devices have been tried, such as sacking, covering with hay and baling, and pressing into a compact mass with a thin board on each side well wired into small packages. rhese small packages with the boards at each end weighing 100 pounds ach are now offered for sale at retail at 25 cents each, this being a quarter <>fa cent per pound for the material, or at the rate of $5 per ton.
Cotton- seed hulls contain in every 100 pounds:

In a food analysis such as this, the moisture is the absorbed water in the material; the ash indicates the mineral matter remainiug after the substan ce has been burut, and the nutritive ingredients as stated above in speaking of cotton seed meal, are the crude fiber, fat, protein and uonuitrogenous extractive matter. The crude fiber is the woody substance or crude cellulose of the food, the fat is the oily matters, the protein is analbuminous matter, and might be said to ern-respond in character to the white of an egg, and the non-nitrogenous extractive matter is that portion which is not water, ash, fiber, fat nor protein. It is composed of soluble substances and consist chiefly of such carbo hydrates as gum, starch, sugar, etc. While such an analysis shows certain nutritive bodies, it does not necessarily follow that they can be all digested or assimilated , in fact, it has been found by actual experiment that the digestibility of the constituents of the various feeding stuffi! are not the same, but nearest alike in those materials which most closely resemble each other. As stated above in regard to cotton-seed meal, tor the best results in feeding a proper nutritive ratio should be preserved. Cotton seed hulls contain only 3)/ per cent. of protein, and after calculating its digestibility and the digestibility of the crude fiber, fat and carbo hydrates, we find we have a nutritive ratio of 1 to 40.8; but this nutritive ratio of 1 to 40.8 is much too low for feeding purposes. It should be corrected by some far richer food, and we naturally turn to cotton-seed meal, which is too expensive for the most economical

fet-ding and also is too highly nutritive to use alonE'. In cotton-seed bulls. und cotton-seed meal we have a very rough food and a vE>ry rich one, and it i easy to compound a ration of almost any possible nut1 itive ratio dt sired 'l'he nutritive ration for the milch cow is 1 to 5.4. By calculation we find it "ill t.nke about 100 pounds of bulls and twenty-two pound s of meal to produce thi!! ration, or in even numbers and for a food rich enough for most purpo s~s, one pound of meal to every five pounds of bulls. Some animalsmay not be willing at first to eat hulls containing this small amount of meal, but they are readily taught to eat th~m by adding meal very liberally at first and then gradually decreasing the amount until the desired proportion is reached, when they continue to eat the mixture with avidity and relish. The use of cotton-seed hulls for fattening cattle and for- , milch cows has been very extensively practiced for some time in the MissiEsippi valley, the demand at New Orleans by the dairies alone con suming all produced by the oil mills of that large city. Their use is extending gradually and they are now a well established article of cattle food in th e Southern States. 'l'be cost of such feeding is very small. With meal at $22 a ton and the bull s at $3, the daily cost of such feeding would be 9;} cents a da.y, or : 2.77~ per month. Cattle fatten readily under such feeding, w bich is sa id to be cheaper than using corn even at ~5 cent. per bushel. 'l'be manure is also richer than tbatproduced und er the ordinary yste m and hence more \'aluable.
Cotton.seed hulls are of small value as a fertilizer. They contain only the following amounts of plant food:
Nitrogen, three-fourths of 1 per cent., or 15 pound s per ton. Potash , 11-10 per ce nt., or 22 pounds per ton. Phosphoric acid, two-tenths of 1 per cent., or 4 pounds per ton. Their manurial value per ton, basing the calculations upon cotton seed meal selling at $20 per ton, would be:
15 pounds of nitrogen at 1216-100 cents per pound ............................. . 'l 8~ 22pound s ofpotasbat304-100 centsperpound..... ........ ... ... ..... ........ . 67 4 pounds of phosphoric acid at 3 04-100 cents per pound ... ... ... .. .... .. .... 12
S2 ol
Judging by the actual contents of plant food, one to n of meal would be equal to abo ut 76-10 tons of hui:s as a fertilizer, but the hulls are so much slower to decompose in the soil that their real value as a fertilizer is even con idably smaller than would appear from the above calculation.
Cotton seed a1e certainly a most unique material, lending themselves as tbey do to such a variety of uses. The value :of their products runs into millions of dollars, and the employment that their handling gives to many lJeople makes them an important factor in our section . It is a matter of congratulation that the increasing use of the products of cotton seed m11 st evt-I!lually enable the farmer to secure a better and better price for them, and iL is hoped that if he continues to raise lint cotton at a loss to himself the pricP. of the seed will at least become remunerative.

HEPORT OF THE CHEMIST.
LABORATORY OF 'l'HE b 'l'A'l'E CHEllfJST, STATE CAPITOL,
A 'l'LAJ'\'l'A, GA., .June 21, 1894.
Jfon. R. 1: Nesbitt, Commi.~sioner of Agriculture of the , tate of Ge01gip,:
DEAlt Srn-In addition to the regular work of the State Chemist, which i~ the analy~:~is of fertilizers, I have made, during the year, analyses of quite a number of kerosene oils of bad illuminating qualities, such as those de~~'ribeu in the report of last season. Apparatus was devised by which inspectors could detect such oils and a bill was drawn up providing for the exclusion of them from the State. The bill pa!'tsed the house unanimously but failed to pass the senate.
The fertilizers sold in Georgia this Eeason have been, as a rule, of excellent character. There appears to be an honest effort to give good values in ul:'arly every case, very few attempting the dangerous plan of running their guarantees on close margins.
All manufacturers do not, however, make perfect mixtures of their goods. Some formul re are more difficult to mix thoroughly than others, but from whatever cause thl:' mixing may be imperfect, it will make the analyse!:' of the goods vary. Manufacturers sometimes complain that a certain ingredient is reported lower in their goods than they put in . In most cases where such complaints are found to be true the other ingredients are proportionately higher, going up in one ingredient as they go down in the other. This shows imperfect mixing. Where a filler is used, particularly if it does not mix well, all of the valuable ingredients, may fall low or run high, according to the distribution of the inert materials. Fertilir.ers are usually .made in quantities of about one ton at a time, and the weighing of the ingredients is:often intrusted to uegroes, hence, in rapid, hurried work on coarse scales by such laborers it is natural that the proportions of each lot should vary somewhat. Phosphate rock, which is the starting point of most fertilir.ers, does not always run exactly the same in a mine, yet from the infrequent analyses some manufa<1t.urers have made during the run of a season's work, one would infer that they considered phosphate rock of absolutely definite composition.
If the weighings are not accurate, neither a wet nor a dry mixture can be perfect, and even if the weighings are accurate the mixture can only be made thorough by a due regard to the physical condition of the mate rials.
A common proportion of muriate of potash put into a ton of fertilizer to be sold under a guarantee of one per cent. of potash is forty pounds. Now to thoroughly mix forty pounds of one material with 1,960 pounds of aoother is not as easy a matter as it would seem at first glauce, and when th e muriate is put in in lumps, without previous grinding, the thing is nearly an impossibiiity. Even in what is called "a wet mix" there is not always the thorough mixing that is supposed to occur, as the process is not one of wet grinding or elutriation, but of wet etirring, with the solution of on ly

ELLINGTON BILL.
No. 168.
An act to regulate the sale of fertilizers in the State; to fix a method for determining the value of the same, and for other purposes.
SECTION I. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Georgia, and it is hereby enacted by authority of the same, That from and after the passage of this act it shall be lawful for any purchaser of fertilizer from any owner thereof, or agent of such owner, to require of the person selling, and at the time of sale or delivery, to take from each lot of each brand sold a sample of its contents.
SEc. II. Be it further enacted, That said sample so taken shall be mixed together and placed in a bottle, jar or such other receptacle as the purchaser may present. It shall then be the dnty of such purchaser and seller to deliver said package to the Ordinary of the county, who shall label same with the names of the parties and of the fertilizer.
SKc. lll. Be it further enacted , 'fhat said Ordinary ~>hall safely keep said package, allowing neither party access to the same, save as hereinafter provided. The Ordinary shall receive a fee of ten (10) cents from the party depositing such sample for each sample so deposited.
SEc. IV. Be it further enacted, That should said purchaser, after having used such fertilizer upon llis crops, have reason to believe from the yields thereof that said fertilizer was totally or partially worthless, he shall notify the seller and apply to the Ordinary to forward the said sample deposited with him (or a sufficiency thereof to insure a fair analysis) to the State Chemist, without stating the names of the parties , the name of the fertilizer or giving its guaranteed analysis, the cost of sending being prepaid by the purchaser.
SEc. V. Be it further enacted, That it shall be the duty of the State Chemist to analyze and send a copy of the result to said Ordinary.
SEc. VI. Be it further enacted, That should said analysis show that said fertilizer comes up to the guaranteed analysis upon which it is sold, then the statement so sent by the State Chemist shall be conclusive evidence against a plea of partial or total failure of consideration. But should said analysis show that such fertilizer does not come up to the guaranteed analysis, then the sale shall be illegal, null and void, and when suit is brought, upon any evidence of indebtedness given for such fertilizer, the statement of such Chemist, so transmitted to the Ordinary, shall be conclusive evidence of the fact, whether such ev1dence of indebtedness is held by an innocent third party or not.
SEc. VII. Be it further enacted, That in lieu of the .State Chemist, should the parties to the contract agree upon some other chemist to make said analysis, all the provisions of this act shall apply to his analysis and report to the Ordinary.
SEc. VIII. Be it further enacted, That should the seller refuse to take said sample when so required by the purchaser, then upon proof of this fact the purchaser shall be entitled to his plea of failure of consideration, and to support the same by proof of the want of effect and benefit of said fertilizer upon

REMARKS 0~ THE ELLING'0N BILL.
Unless the law is complied with, and samples are taken in the presence of pU?chaser and sellm, and kept in charge of the Ordinary, the State Chemist will not make the analyses. If the sample is not taken in the preser>ce of the seller, and kept in charge by the Ordinary until sent to the Chemist, a dishonest purchaser, by taking his own sample during the absence of the seller and mixing it with dirt, could cause the ruin of an honest man, and vice ver.~a, a ras cally dealer, by adding rich ingredients, or substituting another sample, could swindle an honest farmer.
It is impossible, under the law, for the Chemist to have any knowledge whatever of the names of the parties, or of the names of the fertilizers, or of their guarantees. This is eminently proper, as it is equally so that neither purchaser nor seller should have private access to the sample.
The farmers desire protection against low-grade goods and dishonest dealers; proper care and attention to this law will certainly secure it.
The State Chemist earnestly requests the sealing with wax of all samples in the presence of buyer and seller. Although the law does not require it, it is advisab!e that it should be done. A record should be kept by the Ordinary of the names of the two parties, the name of the brand and the guarantee, and the samples should be numbered as taken, and a corresponding number should be put upon the bottles. When the sample is sent to the Chemist, everything should be scraped off the bottle but the number; or the sample ehould be placed in another bottle and numbered to correspond with his record book, to prevent samples getting mixed. The Ordinary should write the name of the county on the package when shipping, that the Chemist may know to what county the package belongs. lt is i:npossible sometimes to identify samples which are sent to this office by the sender failing to write on the package where it is from.

COTTON-SEED MEAL.
IT MUSl' BE II' ' PECTED UNDER TJU; CALVIN BILL.
The Calvin Bill, relating to the inspection and analysis of cotton-seed meal, does not seem to be thoroughly understood by manufacturers and dealers in that article.
Under the bill, all cotton-seed meal must be inspected and analyzed before it can, without violating the law, be sold or offered for sale, to be used as a fertilizer, or for any otht>r purpose.
Rules and regulations governing these inspections have been prescribed by the Commissioner, and will be printed, but in order that through misapprPhension no sales in violation of the act may be made the Commissioner issues the following:
CALVIN BILL.
A bill to be entitled an act to require all cotton-seed meal to be subjected to analysis and inspection as a condition precedent to being offered for sale, and to forbid the sale in this State of such cotton-seed meal if it be shown by the official analysis that the same contains less than 7! per centum of ammonia; to p1escribe a penalty for the violation of the provisions of this act, and for other purposes. SECTIOK I. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Georgia, and it is
hereby enacted by the authority of the same, That from and after the passage of this act it shall not be lawful for any person or persons to offer for sale in this State any cotton-seed meal until the same shall have been duly analyzed by the State Chemist and inspected as now required by law in the matter of all fertilizers and chemicals for manufacturing or composting purposes; nor shall it be lawful to offer such cotton-seed meal for sale in this State if it be shown by the official analysis that the same contains less than 7~ per centum of ammonia; provided, that the provisions of this act as to the per centum mentioned in this section shall not apply to meal manufactured from sea island cotton seed; but the Commissioner of Agriculture shall, upon the pass age of this act, fix and make public a minimum per centum, which shall control as to the cotton-seed meal referred to in this proviso; provided further, that if any cotton-seed meal shall not analyze up to the required per centum of ammonia, the same may be offered for sale as second-class meal, provided the analysis be made known to the purchaser and stamped on the sack.
SEc. II. Be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That there shall be branded upon or attached to each sack, barrel or package of cotton-seed meal offered for sale in this State the true analysis as determined by the State Chemist, and the number of pounds net In each sack, barrel or package.
Sxt:. III. Be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That it shall be the duty of the Commissioner of Agriculture to take all steps necessary to make effective the provisions of sections 1 and 2 of this act.
SECTION IV. of the act makes the person or persons violating the provisions of the act guilty of a miRdemeanor, and on conviction punished as prescribed in section 4310 of the code.

NEW LAW GOVERNING THE INSPECTION OF FERTILIZERS AND FERTILIZER MATERIAL.

On the 19th of October, 1891, an act, the full text of which is hereby given, was approved by the Governor. In many respects it chanjZes the method of inspecting fertilizers and fertilizer materialA, and in these changes the Commi!!!!ioner trusts that all manufacturers and dealers, or their agents, will willingly acquiesce, as the department will require, and will see that the law and regulations estabiished by tpe Commissioner are carried out. The assent and co-operation of manufacturers and dealers, or their agents, will obviously render their dealings with the department more pleasant, and at the same time will better enable the Commissioner to give an efficient service, and will aiel him more readily to detect any spurious article that is sought to be imposed upon the people of the State; and in protecting the farmers at the same time to protect the honest manufacturer and dealer.

AN ACT

SECTWK I. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Georgia, That all manufacturers of, or dealers in, commercial fertilizers or chemicals, or cotton-seed meal, to be used in manufacturing the same, who may desire to sell or offer for sale in the State of Georgia such fertilizers, chemicals or cotton seed meal, ohall first file with the Commissioner of Agriculture of the State of Georgia the name of each brand of fertilizers or chemicals which be or they may desire to sell in said State, either by themselves or their agents, together with the name of the manufacturer, t he place where manufactured, and also the guaranteed analysis thereof, and if the same fertilizer is sold under different names, said fact shall be so stated, and the different brands that are identical shall be named.
SEc. II. Be it further enacted, That all fertilizers, or chemic-als for manufacttning the same, and all cotton-seed meal offered for sale or diatribution in this State, shall have branded upon, or attached to, each bag, barrel or package the guaranteed analysis thereof, showing the percentage of valuable elements or ingredients such fertilizers or chemicals contain, embracing the following_ determi n ations:

... ..

. . . . to cancel all sales thereof and forfeit all claim for

p urchase money tberefor, if after the official analysis is made, the Commis-

sioner of Agriculture shall prohibit its sale in accorrlance with law.

Manufacturers and dealers, by t.his rul e, are not required to delay shipment

in order that the inspection may be made, but are required to see that their

goods are properly tagged, the inspection being made while the fertilizer or

fertilizer material is in the hands of the purchaser or consignee.

3. All orders for tags must be sent direct to this Department, and the request

must be accompanied with the fees i'or inspection at the rate of ten cents per

ton for the fertilizer or fertilizer material on which they are to be used.

:\Ianufacturers and dealers, or their agents, n:..ay request tags in such quanti

t ies as they see fit, but each request must state distinctly the brand or brands

on which they are to be used, with the number of tons of the brand or of

each of said brands.

It is not necessary that the fertilizer or fertilizer material be actually on hand

at the time the request is made, but manufacturers or dealers can order such

a number of tags as they may need during the season, bearing in mind that

no tag carried over will be redeemed by the Department.

In the event that more tags are ordered hr any brand than it is ascer-

tained oan be used on the sales and consignments of that brand, by proper no-

tice, with the consent of the Commissioner, the tags can be used on another

brand pnt up in packages or sacks of the same weight and sold or consigned

the same season.

4. If a fertilizer be offered for registration , inspection or sale, branded as

either of the following :

" Ammoniated Superphosphate,"

" Ammoniated Dissolved Boue,"

" Ammoniated Guano,"

" Guano,"

" Fertilizer,"

o r other words implying that the same is an ammoniated superphosphate, the

guaranteed analysis must cJaim that it contains not less than t\\o per cent. of ammonia (actual or potential).
5. That part of section 3 P-xcepting from the operations of the act an act to require the inspection and analysis of cotton-seed" meal, " leaves the inspec tion of that article under the Calvin bill, which req uires that all cotton-seed meal, for whatever purpose to be u ed, be inspected. It is therefore necessary , and is r equired, that a request for inspection be sent to the Commissioner, and that the inspection be made in the hands of th e manufacturer, dealer or their agent, or if shipped in the State, at some convenient poin t, before the meal is sold or distributed. In all cases fees will be sent direct to the Commissioner, who will immed iately order the nearest inspector to make the inspection.

The sale of the above Bone Phosphate Fertilize r, Special Crop Formula and Pt1ine's Cotton and Corn Fertilizer is forbidden under such name.~. as they violate

the spirit of the F ertilizer Act, which requires a total of ten per cent of available plant food .

T.he Bone Phosphate Fertilizer must be sold for what it really is, a nd not by a name lndic~tlng a complete fertilizer. It Is simply a Florid'\ soft phosphate.

The Special Crop Formula must be sold for what it really is, and not by u n ame indicating a complete fertilizer. It is a soft phos phate with potas h.

Bale's Rust Preventive should be sold as common salt, and not masq uerade under the name RliBt Preventive, which convqs the Impression that It contains

potash. It is 9-1.64 per cent. pure salt.

Low priced fertilizers are much to be desirad, but deceptive names mu~t not be used to make inferior goods appear of average cqaracter. Such practice works

a ~reat injury to thQiarme r in Inducing hi~ to use ~oods under a misa~ prehensioq as to tl:!eir true co mpos\tiQQ,

This phosphate contains 30.32 per cent. of phosphoric acid, which is equivalent to 66.22 l'er cent. of "bone phosphate.'' Phosphate rock is cons idered excellent when it will average 60 per cent. "bone phosphate." By referring to the analysis it will be seen that there is a large quantity of lime in the phosphate, which holds the phosphoric acid in an unavailable form for plant food. 'fo free the phosphoric acid about one hundred pounds of sulphuric acid is added to each one hundred pounds of the phosphate. This takes up the lime, forming sulphate of lime, and liberates the phosphoric acid. By this operation, however, the 30.32 pounds of phosphoric acid becomes distributed in two hundred pounds of acid phosphate, which makes only 15.16 pounds of phosphoric acid to each one hundred pounds of the acid phosphate, or 15.16 per cent. goods if all is made available, which is not usually the case, as about one per cent. remains unattacked. The above analysis gives a fair idea of what is in an acid phosphate besides the phosphoric and sulphuric acids. It should be borne in mind that the lime neutralizes the sulphuric acid, forming sulphate of lime as stated above.

DEPARTMENT OF A<-1RICULTURE-GEORGIA.

BAK[NG POWDERS.
There are a number of brands of baking powdera upon the market in this State. 'Vhile they are sold under many different names, the actual ingredients which compose them are few in number. 'l'he substance generally used to furnish the leavening gas is bicarbonate of soda, which is a lso sometimes called cooking soda. Bicarbonate of soda contains a large amount of carbonic acid gas, which is readily set free when this substance is brought in contact with an acid or other body which decomposes it. Advantage is taken of this fact in the manufacture of baking powders, and the ingredients which commonly enter into their manufacture, besides the bicarbonate of soda, are tartaric acid, cream of tartar (which is tataric acid combined with potash), phosphate of lime and alum.
In the raising of bread by yeast, it is the fermentation which takes place that produces the leavening gas. This leavening gas is carbonic acid gas, both in the case of the yeast risen bread and in that made with baking powders.
Every ingredient which goes into a first-class baking powder is always thoroughly dried. If this is not done the slight amount of moisture pres ent enables chemical action to steadily go on, and the leavening power of the powder rapidly decreases. To still further retard any such action which may take place from the moisture absorbed from the air, a certain percentage of dry starch is used to protect the particles of the powder as much as possible from action upon each other. Flour is sometimes used in place of starch.
Baking powders should be always kept thoroughly dry, and, in making bread, should never be mixed with the water first, as is sometimes done, but should be first thoroughly mixed with the dry flour before making into dough. A wet or damp spoon should never be used in measuring out a baking powder, as it injures not only that which is used, but what is left is also impaired. As long as a powder is thoroughly dry, chemical ac.tion does not take place and the substances composing it remain unchanged, but when brought into intimate contact by solution in water, the chemicals react upon each other and the weak cubonic acid gas is driven out of the bicarbonate of soda, bubbles through the water or dough, as the case may be, and escapes into the air. A baking powder made of cream of tartar and bicarbonate of soda leaves only rochelle salts in the bread; one composed of tataric acld and bicarbonate of soda lea.ves only tartrate of soda. Another compound of acid phosphate of lime and bicarl>onate of soda will leave reverted phosphate of lime and phosphate of soda in the bread, and still another, manufactured from alum (dried ammonia alum is the kind ordinarily used) and bicarbonate of soda, will leave hydrate of alumina, sulphate of soda and sulphate of ammonia.
If sesquicarbonate or bicarbonate of ammonia is used as a baking powder, which is; sometimes done by bakers in making their finest cakes, the only residue left in the bread will be possible traces of ammonia, as the carbonates of ammonia are completely volatile in the heat of an ordinary cooking stove.
There have been many conflicting statements made by the manufacturers of various baking powders. To believe them all would be to give up

ANALYSES OF COM&IERCUL FERTILIZERS-1893-4.

baking powders altogetner, as most of them make astonishing statements in regard to the goods of their competitors.
In judging the merits of the different baking powder claims, there are some important facts which bear heavily upon tile subject and may influence a manufacturer's mind very decidedly in some cases. In tile first place, cream of tartar is a harmless salt, which separates from grape juice when it is made into wine. Tartaric acid is made from cream of tartar and is the acid of grapes. The residue left by either of them in the bread, by their action on the bicarbonate of soda, being mildly aperient, is inclined to correct indigestion. A powder made with either is considered an excellent one, but cream of tarter and tartaric acid are expensive eubstances. Acid phosphate of lime is cheaper than cream of tartar or tartaric acid, but leaves reverted phosphate of lime, as well a~ the gentle purgative phosphate of soda in the bread. Alum baking powders are usually made with thoroughly dried ammonia alum. On using such a powder the bicarbonate of soda decomposes the alum into hydrate of alumina, sulphate of soda and su lphate of ammonia. Dried alum is cheap when compared with cream of tartar or tartaric acid, costing about one-fifth as mu ch. The manufacturers of dried alum for use in baking powders usually sell it as "C. T. S.," oi cream of tartar substitute. It is also known as burnt alum. It is used on account of its cheapness. The carbonates of ammonia are not used to.any great extent in baking powders; they h!\ve been med in one or two instances in small q u!\ntity to increase the leavening power, but, having found none in our recent analyses, its use h~s probably been dropped, in anticipation of a prPjudice that might be stirred up against the use of any form of ammonia, by the unreasonable attack of interested manufacturers seek ing to pu >h their own les3 efficient combin!ltions.
The alumina left in bread by alum baking powders, if in au in oluble form, is, perhaps, harmless. It is claimed, however, that some alum baking powders are made up in such a manner that they leave solu ble alumina in the bread. Such a residue would be likely to produce dyspeptic troubles. In England the use of alum in bread is prohibited by Jaw and, while there is no legislation against its use in baking powders, the sale of bread made from such baking powders, of course, comes under the same prohibition.
Dried alum, when not decomposed by bicarbonate of soda, is poisonous, no doubt, a fatal case being on record where death was produced by one ounce of it being taken by mistake for epsom salts. The proprietors of alum powders, however, claim complete decomposition of the alum by the bicarbonate of soda present in their baking powders.
Interested manufacturers have raised a great hue and cry against ammonia in baking powders. The truth of the matter is, there are three or four important alkaline bodies in common use in the world, soda, am monia, potash and lime. All four of these are used in making baking powders, and all four are exceedingly caustic when in an uncombined state, but are never used for such a purpose unless combined with an acid which changes their character completely. In fact, ammonia is the only one of these four alkaline substances which is dissipated by heat, and is called "the volatile alkali.'' It is doubtful if any but the smallest tra ces

248

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE-GEORGI.-\..

of it would be left in bread, even if it were used alone as a leavening sub~tance, which would not be true of either of the other three materials.
Ammonia is composed wholly of the two gases, nitrogen and hydrogen. The air we breathe into our lungs at every inspiration is four-fifths nitrogen, and the water we drink daily contains over eleven per cent. of hydrogen. Rain water usually contains a small amount of ammonia, and it is nearly always present in all spring, river and well waters. All plants are compelled to have ammonia or nitrogen, or die. The atmosphere also usually contains .traces of ammonia. Bicarbonate of soda is used in all baking powders, and although it contains carbonic acid gas, which annually produ ces many deaths in wells and mines, no manufacturer says anything against it, because they all use it. Beside!!, it would be as unreasonable to do so as in the case of ammonia. Carbonic acid gas is drunk in water, champagne and similar liquids, and gives them their sparkling properties. There is a constant amount of it present in the air, yet we are unafft!cted by it. We are not injured by very small amounts of carbonic acid, ammonia or water, but we cannot exist surrounded by either of the three in a concentrated state.
To illustrate this general prevalence of ammonia, we will state that, in our recent analyses of a number of baking powder<', we found it present m every sample examined, although some of it existed in only very minute quantities. The amount was very small in Dr. Price's, New South, Royal, Cleveland, and Horsford's Bread Preparation. Dixie and Turpin's also contained only a minute amount of ammonia.
In these seven powders ammonia may be considered as practically absent. The Gem, Linden, Campbell's and One Spoon contained considerable quantities of ammonia In the form of ammonia alum.
'fo examine the subject of baking powders fully, we recently purchased in person samples from various grocery stores in the State, giving no notice of what we intended to do with them. The results of the analyses were as follows:

The cheapest powrler, considering leavening power and q uality of material. given for the money, is th e Royal. The dearest powder, either from the standpoint of leavening power or value of materials, is the Gem . The H orsford' s Bread Preparation comes in two separate papers, th e package weigh in"' threefou rths of a pound, and retai ling at 20 cents, which is eq uivalent to 2i cents a p ound. The coutents of th e two packages were mixed before analysis, as wouhl be don e in actual use. The sample, h owever, was tested two <Jays after mi xing, which probably made it show lower leavening power than it woulJ have done if tested immediately after mixing. We do not know wh ether all the e samples were equally fresh. orne may have been un intentionally treated unfairly by our getting h old of old goods, as those of the largest sale wou ld naturally fuTnish the freshest samples.
It may be interesting to give the wholesale market value of the ingred ients used in making bakin g powder and th e source. from whi ch they are obtaine I. Tartaric acid is the most expensive, being worth 25 cents a pound. It is made from cream of tartar, which is a bitartrate of potash, the pota. h being gotten r id of. It is only th e ex cess of tartaric acid in cream of tartar whi ch acts to produce the leaveniHg gas ; hence, when tartaric acid is used, less foreigu matter is left in th e bread than when cream of tartar takes its place, and th e same weight of baking powder will yield inore gas. Cream of tartar i wortb 22~ cents per pou n !, and is made from the lees of wine. Acid pho phate of lime is worth 7~ cents per p ound, and is made from phosphate rock and bones. Dried (or burnt) ammonia alum is wo rth 4~ cents a p ound, and is made from sulphuric acid, ammonia and alumina, sulphuric acid being ma nufactured from sulphur, ammonia hom coal, an d alumina from clay. Starch sell s for 2~ cents a poun d, and is obtained from Indian corn. Bicarbo nate of oda can be bought at 3).6 cents pEr pound, and is made from common salt. 'l' hese <He the wholesale prices in ton lots. At these fi gures the avemge higb grade powders cost from 13 to 15 cents a pouud to make the m, the pbo pbate po wde ts cost from 5 to 7 cen ts per p oun d, and the alum powd erB from 4 to 6 cents . To each of these shoul d be added from 3 to 5 cents for co ntain er. All of these powders should afford the manufacturers a handsome profit on their cost, but, after paying freight and advertising bills, and allowing the retail d ealers a fair amount of profit, it is doubtful if the m a rgin on the high er class of articles is large. However this may be, baking powders could be made at home, with the materials bought at the ordinary retail pl'ices, which would compare favorably in price and in q uality with most of the goods upon the market, were it not for the enormous amount of adulteration which is practiced upon cream of tartar, which is the chief ingredient of high g rade baking powders. Good cream of tartar can be bougllt at a few stores at retail, for from 40 to 50 cents a pound, but, as the public are not usually very discriminating , and think "cream of tartar is cream of tartar,'' it is a common practice to sell acid phosphate of lime and burnt alum as cream of tartar, or as "cream of tartar substitute," as the burnt alum is sometimes called. The profit isvery large on such adulterated goods, which makes it prove so tempting to many dealers to sell them. These substitutes are not very ea ily detected by the public, and cost the dealer only from one-fifth to onethird the price of pure cream of tartar. Were it not for this wide-spread adulteration , we would give recipes for the compounding uf bak ing pow-

ders by the economic housewife. But, under existing conditions, one would often unwittingly mix up a very undesirable compound, where they bad every reason to expect a first-class article, as it would be freq uently the case that, while fully believing that they had purchased cream of tartar to make their baking powders, they would be actually consuming powders made of alum or acid phosphate of lime.
The analyses given above sllow the high excellence of some of the goods upon the market, as well as the outrageo us prices charged for some of the cheap combinations. W e t rust they will prove somewhat of a guide as to the general character of the baking powders sold in the State.

SOME OF THE POSSIBILITIES OF GEORGIA SOIL.

AN ADDRESS BY DR. GEORGE F. PAYNE, S'l'ATE CHEMIST, BEFORE 'l'HB
GEORGIA STATE AGRICUL'J'URAL SOCIETY A'l' CARROI.L'l'ON, GA.,
AUGUST 8, 1894.
Farming when conducted for profit is as much a business as any mercantile pursuit. If business methods are not puraued upon the farm unnecessary loss is bound to occur, and possible realizations of profit are allowed to slip by undeveloped. The extensive dealer with ample means has a two edged sword to hew out profits for himself, in the concessions allowed to large purchasers and the cash discounts besides. These advantages in some cases permit him to sell at the actual cost of the goods to his poorer neighbors and yet realize a profit. To the farmer of m oderate means the present prices for cotton, corn, wheat, oats and other staple products, means ruin if he depends upon one crop alone. A producer of a single I'aw ma terial is usually able to command only enough to keep body and soul to~ether. The small farmer, like the small merchant, must have larger returns on his cap ital or he cannot live. The small m erchant avails himself of every possible means of turning an honest penny. The pharmacist, it is said, sells three thousand different articles, some at absolutely a loss, and otheril at what seems almost all profit if one is so unbusinesslike as to fail to calculate the unusual expenses incurred in such a b usin ess. The policy of the merchant is to increase the sale of profitable articles and only sell those unprofitable goods which are essential to hold his trade. The amount of the latter are unfortunately large, both for the merchant and tht- farmer, but the farmer should imitate the merchant 11nd endeavor to handle as many of the profitable articles as possible. I wish to make a few suggestions of articles as probable sources of profit to those of our farmers who are bold enough to strike out into new fields of venture. 'fhe beaten tracks are surer roads, but shorter cuts to wealth over rougher trails are often sought.
Our Sunny South is a land of flowers, wh ich well may vie with la belle France. But a lthough th c, consumption of perfumes is enormous in the U nited States, we do n ot recall a single essential oil produced in Georgia except oil of turpentine, the cheapest of them all. The flower farms of Fran ce and Turkey supply us with the oils of rose, lavender, geranium, heliotrope, jasmine, tube rose, verbena, violet, etc., and the prices secured per acre for these crops are enormous. The magnolia and the bay flourish here in a wild state, yet the pure oil of magnolia is so rare it is not found in the markets of the world. It is not only the hottest climate which produces the finest essential oils. The farmers of Michigan, Ohio and New York raise large quantities of peppermint and distill the oil from it In Maryland and Virginia sassafras root is distilled largely for its essential oi l. Oil of wintergreen is distilled in New Jersey, and oil of spearmint is distilled extensively in several States. 'fhe two non-volatil e oils, linseed

and castor oil, are pressed in large quantities from seed raised in the Westrn States. It would appear from these facts that there are possibilities of profit from several oils in Georgia. Just which will prove best adapted"to <>ur climate and the most profitable, only actual trial will show. Our climate is warmer and more equable than that of the eastern or western portion of the United States, and can produce many oils requiring a more moderate climate. Of two places producing a certain oil bearing plant, the warmer of the two usually furnishes the largest yield per acre.
In the lower portions of our State and upon the sea islands cattle thrive in a wonderful way. Upon one of these islands au acquaintance raised a splendid herd of cattle, all sleek and fat, and sold them at an excellent profit. He neither housed nor fed them through the winter, but they managed to keep in good order on the winter growth. The cattle mature quicker in such a climate than they do further North. The beef was as fine as that from any Western stock. Our wire grass cattle are often thin and tough, but even in the wire grass sections there are possibilities with judicious feeding of cheap cotton seed meal and hulls and our more nutritious grasses. With our mild climate cattle should find this their ideal .country. We have some cattle in Georgia, but the butter and cream brought to us from other States is hardly a compliment to our thrift and nergy. We should supply the North and West with butter at least in the"winter, instead of their supplying us. New York S tate regularly ships .cream into Georgia. It is sent by express packed in ice cream refrigerators. We produce so little cream we are obliged to charge too high a price for it, and let ""orthern creameries pay for expressage and ice and yet osecure the trade.
A n acquaintance in Southwest Georgia tells us that his sheep are. his most profitable investment, in spite of the dogs, for which he puts out poison and gets from fifteen to twenty at a time. He lets his sheep run uncared for, and only rounds them up to brand and shear. If the business .can exist in such a way, certainly the employment of a shepherd would make it still more profitable if conducted on a large enough scale.
S ugar is now made successfully from sorghum cane. Sorghum grows splendidly in Georgia. 'rhe sugar beet has not been fully tried and proper varieties selected for this climate. It should thrive here as it prospers well in France.
Insect powder is made from a plant which belongs to the same family .as our dog-fennel, and would very probably do well with us. We could hardly expect dog-fennel to do better than it does in Georgia. Insect powder now brings twenty-five cents a pound, which would be a nice price if we should find it as thrifty in Georgia as the dog-fennel.
In this day of fortunes made in chewing gum, the world should be given a taste of our sweet gum. No one has ever collected it for the market. we have tried to get parties to collect it for ouraelves, but they said that -everybody liked it so well, that when they boxed the trees it was collected by others too rapidly for them to keep up with the crop.
Ginseng g rows wild in Georgia and brings $2.50 a pound. It was once worth its weight in gold in China. It is cultivated there. If it can be cui tivated in China it would seem poEsible to do so in our State, where it ;grows wild.

We have a splendid fiber in our common bear grass. We Know of n oone attempting to cu ltivate it. 'l'he Sisal plant of Florida is now being cu1tivated, after long neglect. 'l'he Cubans would come to the Florida coast in their schooners and purchase all the sisal plants they coulrl secure and carry them to Cuba where they were transplanted and their fiber sold as binding twine to our farmers of the West. Florida bas awakened to the importance of this matter, and is now culti vating the sisal plant ext e ns iv e ly .
In Michigan are extensive berry farms where berries are cultivated and dried before putting on the market. 1'he Kalamazoo celery of that tate is known far and wide and supplies nearly the whole consumption of theU nion of this crisp vegetable. Berry farms are certainly a mong th e possibilities here. The blackberry crop usually spreads its uountiful feast before us in almost inexhaustable abundance. Dried blackberries would fi nd a ready marl,;et. We cannot get enough people here to consume them all for years to come, but we can dry the crop a nd send it ont to the consumers.
Delicious celery can be ra ised in Georgia. It is now cultivated within a few miles of A tlanta and the product of the place brings even a better price tha n that from K alamazoo.
Asparag us brings au ex cellent price in tho large cities. A n acquain tance of ours started an asparagus bed of five acres, three years ago, in this tate. H e has put annually upon each acre twenty-five tons of stable m anure and one-half ton:of cotton seed. 'l'his amounted to seventy-five tons of m anu reand one and one-half tons of cotton seed put upon each acre. There was. also one-half ton of common salt put upon each acre, as asparag u i a marine plan t. The fertilizers put upon each acre cost $250 before a ny return was secured. This season 3,0 0 pounds of asparagus was sold from t he five a cres for $3 ,000, a return of 600 per acre. Next season be expects to secure . 2,000 worth from each acre, or a total of 10,000.
We have made these suggestions in the hope that they will set some bright minds to work , who will sift the profitable from the unprofitable, and develop many of the latent possibilities of our wonderful Sta te With a large expanse of territory, extending from the bald peaks of t heBlue Ridge to the wa rm waters of the Atlantic, where F lorida and Georgi a. join hands, we are rich in possibilities a nd must awake from our con ervll.tism and ttdva nce with the times.
