  THE LAW GOVERNING THE INSPECTION OF FERTILIZERS AND FERTILIZER MATERIAL. 
 
On the 9th ol October, 1891, an act, the full text of which is hereby given, was approved by the Governor. The hearty co-operati<;m of manufacturers, dealers and. their agents in complying with the provisions of the law 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 aid 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 
 
.A.N .A.CT 
 
To amend and consolidate the laws governing the inspection, analysis and sale of commercial fertilizers, cr emicals and cotton-seed meal in the State of Georgia, and to repeal all other laws and parts of laws in confiic t therewith and for other purposes.

SEC. II. Be it further enacted, That all fertilizers, O chemicals for manufacturing the same, and all cotton-seed meal offered for sale or distribution in this State, shall have branded upon, or attached to, each bag, barrel or package the guaranteed analysis thereof, showing the percentagEl of valuable elements or ingredients such fertilizers or chemicals contain, embracing the following determinations:

Manufacturers and dealers, by this rule, are no~ 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. 
8. All orders for tags must be sent direct to this department, and the reques~ must be accompanied with the fees for inspection at the rate of ten cents per ton for the fertilizer or fertilizer material on which they are to be used. 
Manufacturers and dealers, or their agents, may request tags in auch quantities 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 brands, or of each of eaid 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 taga carried over will be redeemed by the department. 
In the event that more tags are ordered for any brand than it is ascertained can Mused on the sales and consignments of that brand, by proper notice, with the eonaent of the Commissioner, the tags can be used on another brand put up in packages or sacks of the same weight and sold or consigned the same season.

THE 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 sallie, ami for other purposes. 
SECTION I. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Georgia, and it ia hereby enacted by authority of the same, That from anrl 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. 
SEa. 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 duty 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. 
SKo. III. Be it further enacted, That said Ordinary !!hall safely keep said package, allowing neither party acce~s 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 deposit ed. 
S&o. IV. Be it further enacted, That should said purchaser, after having used such fertilizer upon his 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. 
SEa. V. Be it further enacted, That it shall be the duty of the State Chemist to analyze and send a c0py of the result to said Ordinary. 
S&o. VI. Be it further enar.ted, 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 con sideration. 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 evidenceof indebtedness given for such fertilizer, the statement of such Chemist, so transmitted to the Ordinary, shall be conclusive evidence of the fact, whether such eVIdence of indebtedness ia 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 theOrdinary. 
Sxc. VIII. Be it further enacted, '!'hat should the seller refuse to take said sample when so required by the purchaser, then upon proof of this fact thepurchaser 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 
 
 10 
 
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE- GEORGIA. 
 
uis crop, which proof shall be sufficient to authorize the jury to sustain defendant's plea within whole or in part, whether said suit is brought by an innocent holder or not. 
SEc. IX. Be it further enacted, That all laws and parts of laws in conflict with this act be, and the same are, hereby repealed. 
Approved December 27, 1890. 
S pecial attention is called to SEc. I .-Requiring seller to take the sample. SEC. II.-Requiring purcha$er and seller to deliver package to Ordinary. SEC. IlL-Requiring Ordinary to keep package, allowing neither party access to the sa.m& SEC. IV.-Requiring the forwarding of samples after seeing yield of crop, otherwise t he 
.n mple is not a legal one. Sw . V.-Requiring cost of sending being prepaid by purchaser. Ordinaries a re requested to state what ingredients they wish determined in tho~ samples 
sent, as in this w ay the chemist can often be saved <onsiderable time and expense consumed in looking for ingredients not even cla i med to be present. 
 
REMARKS ON THE ELLING TO~ BILL. 
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 advisable 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 should 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 wha' -county the package belongs. It is i::npossible sometimes to identify samples which are sent to this office by the sender failing to w.rite on the package where it is from.

Approved December 21, 1897. 
The opinion of Attorney-General Terrell will be of interest and importance to the manufacturer of fertilizers. The opinion in full is as follows: 
"ATTORNEY-GENERAL's OFFICE, "Atlanta, Ga., August 23, 1898. 
"!'Ion. R. T . K esbitt , CCJmmissione1 oj Ag,iculture, Atlanta, Ga. : "DEAR SIR-In reply to yours of several days since, requesting an official 
<lpinion as to the proper construction of the words 'complete commercial fertilizers' as used in the act of December 21,1897, p1escribing three grades of fertilizers and the branding of the grade upon tLe sack or package containing same, and also as to whether the words 'high grade,' 'standard grade' and 'low grade, ' should be branded upon the sacks or packages containing acid phosphate or acid phosphate with potash, I bfg leave to submit the following: 
"These words should btl construed with reference to the signification which has always been attached to them by your department, and the people generally who deal in or use fertilizers and also with reference to the sections of the code upon the subject of fertilizers. From your letter and our conversation upon the subject this morning I gather that both your department and 
 
 12 
 
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE-GEORGIA. 
 
those dealing in or using fertilizers consider nothing a complete com mercial 
 
fertilizer except ammoniated acil phosphates or ammoniated superphosphntes 
 
containing at least 2 per cent. of ammonia. This is in harmony with section 
 
1652 of the code, which prescribes 'that no brands shall be sold as ammo- 
 
niated superphosphat~s unless such brands contain 2 per cent. or more of 
 
ammonia.' It is also in harmony with the varions sections of th e code relative 
 
to the inspection of fertilizers. For instance, section 155 L pro\'ides that ' an 
 
manufacturers or dealers in commercial fertilizers or chemicals or cotton seed 
 
meals to be used in manufacturing same' shall file with the commissioner the 
 
name of the brand to be sold; section 1552 prescribes that all 'fertilizers or 
 
chemicals for manufacturing same' shall have branded on the sack or 
 
package the guaranteed analysis thereof, and in a great many other sections 
 
the words ' fertilizers or chemicals used for manufacturing same' appear. 
 
Such being the case, it could hard :y be said that either acid phosphate or

be considered a complete commercial fertiliz er in the sense in which those 
 
words are used in the act of 18!)7, but when ammoniated the produ ct becomes 
 
such a mixture as meets the requ irements. 
 
"I am therefore of the opinion that the words 'comple te commerc i.tl 
 
fertilizers' should be construed to include only ammoniated goods containin g

UNDER THE ABOVE RULING OF 'l'HE ATTORNEY GENERAL, 
It is hereby ordered t hat no commercial fer ti lizers can be sold in this State under the name of "high grade," "standard grade " or "lo\\ grade" except those that contain two or more per cent. of ammonia and that all com mercial fe rtili zers which are guaranteed to contain tw J per cent. of ammonia, must have the word3 ''high grade, " "low grade" or " standatd grade " printed upon each sack or package, in letters of not less than one inch in size. 
All acid phosphates, acid phosphates with potash or acid phosphates with ammonia and pot;~.sh which are guaranteed with less than 2 per cent. of am monia shall have the analysis printed up on each package, but the words " high grade," "standard grade '' or" low grade" cannot be used upon same.

One per cent. of anything means one pound in each one hundred pounds. One per cent. of a ton of 2,000 pounds is 20 pounds. A unit is used to repre- 
 
sent one per cent. of a ton or 20 pounds; hence, the value per unit means the 
 
value per 20 pounds. The unit is used as a matter of convenience as the 
 
value of a certain ingredient in a whole ton is quickly calculated by multiplying the value per unit by the percentage pt"esent. 
 
The rehttive commercial value which is given each fertilizer is calculated from the above figures with an addition to each of $2.60 per ton to cover insneclion, sacks, mixing, and hanrlling. 
To calculate the commercial valne of a ton 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 phosplloric acid, this will be 
 
twenty pounds of available phosphoric acid in a ton. Twenty pounds of 
 
a,ailable phosphoric acid at three and a quarter cents a pound will be sixtythe cents for each per cent. containea in a ton, or sixty-five cents per unit, as 
 
it is generally designated. Ammonia being ten cents a pound, each one per cent., or twenty pounds in a ton, will be worth $2.00. Potash being four and 
 
one quarter cents p er pound, each one per cent., or twenty in a ton, will be 
 
worU1 eighty-five cents.

These values represent approximately the comparative original wholesale cost of the goods and not their retail prices. To estimate the approximate retail value, one should adrl the freight to his particular market from the chief points of distribution in the State, and a fair profit on the cost of the goods. It is well to bear in mind that goods are sold very close for cash, bnt when sold on time dealers are compelled to charge full prices 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 as relative and not as absolute.

Sulphuric acid is given at New York quotations, but sulphuric acid is probably made as cheaply in Georgia as at the North, as acid phosphates have been sold in the State in bulk so low as to warrant thiR presumpt io n. 
Blood, tankage, bones, bone-black, sulphate of ammonia, and nitrate of eoda are quoted at New York pcices. :But as most of the blood, tankage and

bones comes from the western markets they are probably delivered almoet as cheaply in Georgia as in New York City. Fish ~crap is quoted at the factory. The freight rate on fertilizers from New York to Savannah is from $1.60 to $2.00 per ton, so $2.00 added to the fish scrap prices would give about. cost at Savannah. 
With these figures as a basis, the value of the plant-food in these materials taking the prices for large quantities, is as follows:

REPORT OF THE CHEMIST. 
 
LABORATORY OF THE STATE CilElliST, 
ATLANTA, GA., August 20th , 1898. 
Hon. R. T. Nesbitt, Commissioner of Agriculture of the State of Georgia : llEAR SIR-The season of 1897-98, just closing, marks the largest consump- 
tion of commercial fertilizers for any one year for any one State in the Union. Georgia consumed in 1897 over 22 per cent. of all the fertilizers so ld in the United States, or nearly one fourth of the whole amount. 
Tile chemical analysis of one or more samples of all the 1,300 brands registered requires a vast deal of accurate, rapid work. First of all, the work must be accurate, as the analysis of each sample usually represents goods which have been sold amounting to many thousandi! of dollars. The work must also be rap id to get it published before the farmers' notes fall due. Since the present State Chemist has been in office the number of brands has trebled, an d the bulk of the inspections, instead of b eginni ng the firat of Octob er, as formerly, have been so changed that the S.lmples do not reach the State Cbemiet in any considerable number until the fi rst of January and do not stop co ming until sometime in August or S3ptember. During the fall months the E lli ngton bill samples, which are all worked twice, keep him very fully occupied, and are increasing in number. 
The farmers of Georgia appreciate more and more th~ work of the D.lpMt ment of Agriculture in protecting them ag1inst the sale of worth less fertil izers and the protection given them in securing fertilizirs which are actually up to guarantee . The Dapartment of Agriculture has steadily improved in this good work, and each advance has shown where still further improvement can be made. As there is a large surplus each year from the inspection of ferti lizers, it should certainly be utilized as far as neces~ary for the fullest protection of the farmer in the purchase of such good8. The present system of inspection requires the sampling of all fertilizers after they have been sold alld have left the hands of the manufacturers; this plan does not put the sample in the.hands of the State Chemist for analysis until after the goods have been bought. Tbe old plan of taking the sample at the factory before the goods were sold was not a good one , because the goods could be easily made over after the inspection, or a special lot could be made up for the early inspection. The pre3ent plan would appear at first glance to be all that the farmer who buy15 on credit might desire, and it would only be the man who pays cash who needs the analysis before purchase. It is true that the farmer who buys on credit learns the analysis of the vario us goods long before his notes fall due, and if the analysis of the goods he bought runs below the State's requirements or the momufacturer's guarantee, he can secure proper redress as far as the value of the goods are concerned; but he is in B O way reimbursed for the value of his lost crop, lost time and other advantages which a good fertilizer would have given him. A plan som~thing like the 
2cr

DlllPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURB-GEORGIA. 
 
following would appear alike just to the farmer and the manufacturer, and would certainly tend to give a clearer insight to the farmer as to just what be is doing when be buys a fertilizer: Require each manufacturer to register his goods with the Commissioner of Agriculture as at present, and, in addition, what kind of ammoniate is always used in each br,md of goods. If the manufacturer uses two or more ammoniates, and varies them from time to time, according to their cost, he should be required to so state, that the farmer may know in what brands be is likely to get cotton seed meal or blood at one time and hoof, horns or leather at another under the samename and same guarantee. It is not fair to the farmer that a brand !imply represents a certain guarantee. A name for a fertilizer should go further than this, and mean that in it will always be found the same ammoniates. One brand of goods is somf'times made up by several different manufacturers for some dealer who wishes to appear as a manufacturer, and in such cases a farmer may essily te pleased with the results from one purchase and not from anothn, for the goods might easily have the same guarantee, but be very unlike in their effects on the crops. Besides, one manufacturer may give a wide margin on his guarantee and another a small margin; one might use cotton seed meal for an ammoniate and another use hoofs, horns and leather. I.rt each manufacturer who desires to do so, deposit with the State Chemist a fair H mple of his goods 1\S soon liS manufactured and ready for sale. Let t he State Chemist analyze these samples and transmit the results to the Cc.mmiseioner d Agricultme, to be publisbd by him by the first of February of earb year, in connection with a bulletin, wbicb shall contain: 
The names of the manufacturers, The placE's where manufactured, The names of the brands, The guarantees, The kind of ammoniate used, The analyeis of the goods as offered for sale, as m:tde by the l::ltate Chemist. To secure the. publication of such analysis, each manufacturer being required to guar11ntee that samples of his goods as taken by the State Inspectors in transit after having left his factory and before being removed from the railrolld depots by the consumer, shall analyze not lower than one-half of one per cent. in available phosphoric acid, not lower than one-fourth of one per C3nt. in ammonia, and not lower than one-fourth of one per cant. in potash, below the analysis of the sample deposited with the State Chemist, at the beginning of the season; or if preferred the manufacturer might be required to guar11ntee the comparative commercial valuation of the second analysis will not fall more than one dollar below the compnative commercial valuation of the sample first deposited with the State Cnemist. If a manufacturer feels that he cannot guarantee his goods to fall no lower than this, or whatever reasonable margin that might be fixed, this firat analysis should not be published to his credit nor should he be permitted to use it in any way to sell his gooJs. The expense involved in such an enormously increased amount of work to be made during the fall, could be met by th9 State Chemist charging tbi owner of each brand who may desire such an analysis on which to sell his goods, a prop::>r fee to meet the extra expenses thrown upon the State Chemist to accomplish the work. 
 
 ANALYSES OF COMMERCIAL FERTILIZERS-1897-1898. 19. 
Some such plan as this could be arranged that would be mutually satisfactory to the farmerd aud the manufacturers. The former naturally wishes to see an analyais of the goods on which he can rely before he buys them. Many manufadurerd wuu ld prefer to sell their good; on analysis, for, the present plan of guarantee only, does not tell the whole story by a good de~!, and the -clearer th e facts stand ont, the better it will be for the fertiliz ~ra which are ihe most valuable to the farmer. 
The State Chemist ha~ accomplished every .analysis sent to him each year either by the Commissioner of Agriculture or by the Ordinaries of counties,. "To do this has req uired a steady and persistent effort every year from th e very beginning of each season until the last sample is sent in. Over 1,300. fertilizer analyses is a big job, and as fertilizer chemists of established reputation charge $2-5.00 for each complete analysis this shows how considerable has been the work done this season. The last sample sent to the State Chemist last year under the general fertilizer lr.w, was on September 9, aud -every sampl e rece ived up to date had been rep:>rted to the Commis;ioner by September the 15th. The last sample received thi~. season was on August 17, oand every s.1mple received np to date had been r eported by August 20th. 
The amount of work done on fertilizera during th e season of 1897-98 was .as follows:-

GEORGE F. PAYNE, State Chemist. 
THE INSPECTION AND ANALYS8 OF FERTILIZERS. 
A3 we have b ad inquiries from time to tim e a~ to the operations of th e inpaction and anal ys is of fertiliz "lrs in Georgia, a descriptioa of the m ethods pursued may prove of interest. First of all, samples of fertiliz~ra are not taken until the goods are sold and have lef t the hands of the manufacturers (this is done that the samples may positively represent the goods just as the farmer receives them). As mo!t of the farmerd and merchants do not get well started in purch asing fertilizers until the first of January, this is the month in which the inspect-ore get .actively started for the season's sampling, and the work for the State Chemist begins to come in with a rush. The inspectors use a long metal tube for sampling and stir.k it straight -down in the sack from the top ; or if the top cannot be reached, as in a loaded car, the tube is inserted at one third the di3tance frum the top in a ~lanting direction towards the center; the tube being filled with a core of the fertilizer it is withdrawn and its contents emptied on a piece of paper; the .same operation is gone through with from the botto:n of the sack toward

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE-GEORGIA. 
 
the center. If it is not convenient to lay the sack down, the second tubeful' can be taken about one-third of the way from the bottom in a slanting ditection towards the central portion of the bottom of the sack. If there are only a few sacks, each one should be sampled; if there are a number, every fifth or tenth sack ehould be sampled, proportioning the number of sacks sampledi .to the number present, in such a way as to get a fair sample of the whole number. The various tubefuls as taken are poG.red on the same sheet of paper, and are then all well mixed and the pile divided into halves or quar-ters according to its size and one of these portions thoroughly mixed again,. and two sample bottles fille:l from this second mixing. Both bottles aro corked and sealed. One bottle is labeled with a number only, and the othet bottle is labeled with the same numb er and the name also ; both bottles are sent by express to the Commissioner of Agriculture, with a written report of the name of the manufact\lrer, the name of the brand, the guarantee, an<! all other information available. The Commissioner causes his fertilizer clerk: to keep an accurate record of all tl;te inspections, brands and numbers. The samples which the Commissioner desires to have analyzed are sent to the State Chemist by number only, the bottle sent him having no indir.ation of: who made the goods, nor where they are from, nor the name of the brand, nor the guarantee. The State Chemist makes the analysis and reports it to the  Commissioner of Agriculture, who has it placed on his records opposite the same number of which he already has a complete record. At the end of theseason after all samples stop coming in and their analyses are finished, the results of the w.ork are published in the form of a fertilizer bulletin, for one of which bulletins every farmer who uses fertilizers shoul d write to the Commissioner and secure. 
The State Chemist makes no fertilizer analyses except of those samples sent direct to him by the Commissioner of Agriculture and by the 0 rdinaries of eounties under the Ellington bill. He makes no private fertilizer analys('S for any one, nor is fertilizer work: done in any way for private parties under his direction. This is done to avoid crit icism on the subj ect. 
For information in regard to any sample of fertilil"-er taken by an inspector;. one s hould alway-s write to the Commissioner of Agriculture, as the record~ of all such goods are kept in his charge, and all correspondence on tliis subjert. is handled irom his office. The Ellington bill samples are r equired hy law tobe sent directly to the State Chemist, and for information on this subject beis the proper party to whom to write. 
The State Uhemist is given two assistants, and is exp ected to make one ormore analyses of every brand of fertilizers 5old in Georgia each year, ~nd also . to analyze all samples sent him under the operation of the Ellington bill. As. there is no provision to pay for the increased expenses, this causes the drai n. upon the salary of the State Chemist to become greater and greater each year  as the number of brands steadily increases under the general fertilizer law, . and the Ordinaries annually send in more and more samples. 
The State Chemist is always glad to give all the information in his power  to farmers who write him in regard to fertilizers, and the number of letters . written to him for information from various portions in the State const11ntly becomes larger and larger each year, and necei!Bitates his employing a stenog-

Tapher, at his own expense, to enable him to keep up with such correapond-ence. Every particle of work done in the laboratory of the State Chemist is either done by himself or passee through his hands in such a way that .a portion of every piece of work is done by him. Great care and accuracy is needed in every detail to avoid all erroro, as even a slight mistake on one sample might cause a loss of several thous;lnd dollard to the parties interested. Every sample sent by the Commissioner of Agriculture to the State Chemist is received by him in person , and carefully numbered by him for .aualysis. He then records the number of each sample. and what examination shall be made of it, and the date received. The sample,:is next thoroughly mixed, si fted, and mixed again, and then returned to the bottle, -corked with a good cork, and is ready for analysis. To expedite the an :Liysis <>f large numbers of samples, the work is divided into sectio,s, each assistant having a certain routine work to do, in which he naturally becomes more expert than if continually changing from one class of work to another. For instance: one assistant will work on phosphoric acid alone for months at a time, while another may work on potash, and the State Chemist himself on 'llmmonia, which is the most valuable ingredient. The State Chemist never uses the work of any assistant until he has proven his accuracy over an<l over again by comparison with his own work or that of some already well experienced assistant. It can be readily seen how much accurate, rapid work can be turned out by such a system, where each man's mind and apparatus are <ievoted to one kind of work. No other State Chemist in the Union does more than about one half of the fertilizer work which is done by the StateChemistof Georgia, yet some of them have four assistants, a stenographer, a secretary and two porters. The State Chemist requires each aesit~tant to accomplish a certain -quantity of work each week, as he knows exactly how much he has a right to expect in that time. After each assistant has gotten through with his batch <>f routine work-in precipitation, washing and weighing-the weighing3 are turned over to the State Chemist. Each separate weighing is gone over by him personally, figure by figure, to verify their accuracy and correct an mistakes which might be made. He then makes the proper calculations for each, to obtain the percentage of that particular ingredient in that sample. After that is carefully done he enters t-.ach determination in a special memorandum book arranged for each separate kind of work, there being one for Moisture, one for Phosphoric Acid, one for Ammonia, and one for Potash. As he enters these figures in each of these memorandum books, they are closely scrutinized, and if he should have cause tobelieve that any of the work is not nccurate in the highest degree, whether done by his assistants or himself, the work is immediately done over again. As soon as the State Chemist is assured of the accuracy of each determination, he puts it down in a book arranged for fertilizer analyses, and after he has recorded a bltch ach of Moistures, Insol uble Phosphoric Acids, Total Phosphoric Acids, Ammonias and Potashes, he calculates the available phosphoric acid for each, and places it in proper position. This last work finishes the batch of analyses. They are now copied on sheets of paper prepared for the purpose and signed and transmitted to the office of the Commissioner of Agriculture, where the

commercial values are calculated and the analyses are identified by their numbers and placed opposite the brands to which they belong. 
There are some samples which are sent to the State Chemist for which theordinary methods of fertilizer analysis will not answer . These are either analyzed by the State Chemist himEelf, or, after special testings, portions of the work are given to his assistants, with explicit inEtructions as to what each is to do. The responsibility of every small fra ction of earh individual anal ysis falls on the State Chemist, and his mind must be such that h e can keep up with the smallest details of this vast amount of work which involve& millions of dollars worth of property each year. It is a responsibility whi ch he cannot divide , and which falls upon him alone. 
The fertilizer inspectors have nothing to do with the analyses of fertilizerJ. 'l'hey simply take the samples and send t.tiem to the Commissioner of Agriculture, who transmits the samples he wishes analyzed to the State Chemist..

~ These figv.res have been obtained as far as possible by correspondence with the various State authorities. No replies were obtained from several of the l::ltatee, but these could alter the figures but little, as they were not large consumers. Where the consumption is at all considerable, full records are easily accessible. The records of the various States of the United Sta..t.es as given above, show a consumption of 1,575,632 tons of commercial fertilizers for 1896. Of this grand total, the eleven Southeastern States, grouped with Georgia, consumed 72.21 per cent. of the whole amount, and t'he five largest fertillzer-corusuming Southeastern States, including ~rgla, co112umed over a million tons out of a total for the whole country of not quUe one and six-tenths mlllions. 
 
 ANALYSES OF COMMERCIAL FERTILIZERS-1897-1898. :!5 
Georgia alone consumed, in 1896, more than one-fifth of the amount recorded for the whole United States. In 1897 the amount of commercial fertilizers sold in the United States amounted to 1,825,605 tons, of which the -eleven Southeastern States consumed 1,339,354 tons, or 73.31 per cent. Georgia consumed over 22 per cent., or nearly one-fourth of the whole amount used in the United States. Her consumption in 1898 has been 424,081 tons. This shows a steady increase. Georgia is said to secure a larger money crop per acre than any other State in the Union, with possibly one or two exceptions. Commercial fertilizers enable her to do this, for her farmers fully appreciate their great value in modern agriculture.

NEW KINDS OF CROPS FOR GEORGIA. 
 
SOME SUGGESTIONS AS TO THEIR POSI:liBILITIES FOR PROFIT. 
August-, 1898. 
Georgia, with her broad acres, different varieties of soil and diversity of climate, possesses a range oi agricultural possibilities which are wonderful indeed. While our fields are ripening with the snowy fruit of the cotton plant, and corn huskings and fodder pullings will soon be common, the same old question in regard to more profitable crops naturally presents itself. 
Six hundred pounds of seed colton is about an average yield per acre. This. is usually considered equivalent to 200 pounds of lint and 400 pounds or 1St bushels of cotton seed. At 7 cents a pound for the lint and 15 cents per bushel for the seed, there will be a gross return of $16.00 per acre. From this. has to be deducted the cost of preparing the land, fe! tilizers, cultivation, barvesting, ginning, packing and baling, and if there should be a balance in thefarmer's favor at the end of the year, it will be but a small one. 
Twenty bushels of corn is consid{lred an average yield per acre, and, at 6(} cents a bushel, the expense of making the crop usually comes dangerously near taking up the whole of the gross receipte, fodder included, if it does not. absorb them altogether. 
We all feel that we mnst diversify, and our minds turn to other standard crops besides cotton and cvrn, but other sections of our broad country arefully as well adapted to some such crops as wheat, oats, rye, etc., as our own, and the large crops of such commndities placed upon the market keep down prices and leave but a very small margin for profit. It would appear then,. from this, that it is the crops which are small by comparison with the great. staples upon which one would expect to realize the greatest profits. But the less common are certain products to our section, the less familiar are the general farming public with either their cultivation or their marketing, and also as to the soil and climate to wllich they are best adapted. 
Where a particular srction of a country is more suitable, for several reasone, for certain crops than other sections, such a crop is likely to prove remunerative, if the facilities of handling and getting it to market are sufficiently good, and upon our more progressive farmers naturally falls the intelligent investigation of the suitability of our variou s sections to the production of crops which are likely to be profitable. There is a broad field for such work; we wish more profitable crops for our mountaine, for our coasts and for the inter. mediate sectione. 
The cotton plant was brought to this country from Asia, and its enormous. production has been an important factor in lowering its price. It has succeeded here better than in its native home. The peach was brought from Persia, and yet, to-day, no country nor section produces peaches equal to Georgia. The peach is a good illustration of what might be done with other comparatively ;mall side crops, onhich should be investigated and grown, if they prove themselves sui~able. It is important not to overdo a good thing

when it has been proven a success. Cotton is our great stap!e, and the world needs more and more of it, and pays a considerable advance to the middlemen over what we secu re, and besides, our steadily increasin g cotto n fa ctories a re building up for us a n ew sou roe of wealth from our cotton fields, but with such perishable products as peaches, watermelons and other fruits and vegetables, whose consumption is not unlimited, we should be careful that we do not oversu pply the marke ts, and make the business unprofitable to all. 
It is to th e matter of further developments of our agricultural possibilities to which I wish to call attention. 
The production of starch should be a thriving industry in our State. It is used in enormous qua ntities in our cotton mills for various purposes. Withi'n a radius of two hundred and fi fty miles from the center of Geo rgi a over 200 carloads of starch are now used annually in our cotton mills anrl the amount is steadily increasi ng (not including the large quantity now used as an adulterant in ou r flou r). Starch is made from corn, Irish potatoes and sweet potatoes; probably the cheapest so urce of it, however, in Georgia would be from t he cassava. This root grows excellently in Geo rgia and" is now cultivat ed very successfully for stock feed ing purposes near Colum bus in this State. A fair average yield is six tons of roots per acre, although some r eport far larger return s. As the root contains about 20% of starch, this would be abo ut one and one fifth tons of starch per acre, or 2,400 pounds-this at 2~ cents a pound would be worth $60 00. The starch exists in a very pure state in the cassava and is easy to separate. 
Insect powders or the powdered flowers of Pyreth ru m Roseum and Cinerifolium are worth in the markets from 25 cents to 40 cents a pound. This plant is largely grown in Dalmatia, in Europe, and has recently been m ade quiteprofitable in Californi a un der the name of Buhach. This is a plant which grows well in mountainous sections, but judging from the bountiful growth of dog fe nn el {which is a simil ar plant) in cen t ral Geo r~ia , it would seem that thepyrethrum s would grow well over a large portion of the State. 
Canaigre is another crop which we might well investigate. Its potatc-like roots are loaded with t annin and make a most valuabl e tanning material. Large quant iti es of the roots are now being shipped from Texas to Germa ny. The culture of this plant is al so being tried in Florida. The profi t per acre fignres out quite large, the yield being about ten tons per acre, worth abou t. $5.00 per ton in a green condition. 
The profitable production of sugar and syrup should also be more close!y studied. In some of our lower co unties sugar cane grows to great perfection and some sugar and much syrup is now produced . The suga r beet has not been thoroughly studied as to its adaptability to the various sections of ou r State an d as to the var ieties of beets best suited for our local conditions. When Napoleon Bonaparte insti tuted the culti vation of the sugar beet in 
France, the yield of SU!!;ar was only 2! per cent. By careful sele!:tion and 
judicious management the percentage in many sections bas been raised to lZ. and 15 per cent. All sections of Georgia cannot produce equally as good sugar beets. It might l.Je well for the farmers of the f;tate to cultivate small patches of sugar beets, and send some of them nex t fall when ripe to the Agricultural Department and have the amount of sugar determined. Sugar beets of fair

'f!weetness were grown in my garden in Atlanta last year, although the soil was not well adapted to the beet-being a stiff red clay full of stones. A light .sandy loam is considered the !)est soil, but any soil which will grow our usual crops well can be udlized. A very important matter is the use of proper seed. -Great care is taken in Germany to produce seed from only the highest grade of beets. It takes considerable capital to erect and operate a beet root sugar iactory, but capital has already been available to take up the enterprise in -other States if the farmers would agree to grow a large enough amount of good beets to keep them in operation. If great care is used in the selection of seed and intensive farming is practiced the beet root industry is claimed to be quite profitable. It is a business, however, which one should study before going into it, that he may know that h e can get rroper seed, and that he has temperature, Roil and rainfall adapted to producing good results. These matters can be learned by actual trial on a small scale, and if successful, then a factory can be invited to locate and contracts for large quantities of beets can be made founded on definite facts. As an average summer temperature of 70 degrees F. is considered best for the sugar beet, it would seem that the northern two-thirds of our State might be best adapted to this plant, but when we consider how well it thrives in France, large sections of which are similar in climate to the Southern portion of Georgia, it would be well to try the adaptabilities of all sections to this crop. 
We also should not neglect to study the possibilities of our raising to advantage in some portions of Georgia the Peruvian cotton, which is so successfully used in many so-called woolen goods. We have beaten Asia raising Asian cotton. Why should we not be able to develop the Peruvian variety as we have the Sea Island and the upland cottons? And as to apples, we all ..-know the wonderful adaptability of North Georgia to this splendid fruit, yet ihe apple trees to be found in that delightful section are hoary with age, havi ng been chiefly planted before the war; and are rarely cultivated or taken any -care of whatever. Modern apple orchard methods in North Georgia would keep in the State many thousands of dollara which now go to Tennessee, Ar:ikansas, Virginia, Michigan and other sections for this splendid fruit..

In reg~rd to the Ellington Bill, it does not provide for the expense of carrying out even the work called for, as there is no appropriation made in any -way to meet my expenses in doing this work.

for the protection of the farmers, but, of course, cannot be touched without 
 
legislation . If your represe ntative were to introduce a bill, or rather an 
 
amendment to the Ellington Bill , you could get in the points you suggest. 
 
In regard to buying high-grade materials, such as acid phosph tte, muriate 
 
of potash, nitrate of soda and f!otton seed meal, I would call yo ur attention to- 
 
the fact that the addtess of the parties who sell those thing~ can be found in 
 
Bulletin No. 33. You will have no tro uble in regard to acid phosphate and 
 
cott.on sPed meal, but when it comes to mu riate of potash and nitrate of soda

If the m ttter was taken up upon the line you suggest it would put me in a 
 
position to advise the farmers to considerably better advantage than I am 
 
nnw able to do, as I wou ld be th rown in direct contact with the purchasers. 
 
Under th e ge neral fertilizer Jaw the r ecord of the manufacturers and seller:>-

carried out. No. 2 wi 1h th e cotton seed meal will be much easier to handle . 
 
As this fo rmula is for cotton on land with a subsoil of ordinary clay, I hardly 
 
think you will need as much as 5 per cent. of potash, but if no potash to an y 
 
amount has been used for some time past it would be well to put on a good 
 
dose, but if fertilizers with a fair per<!entage of potash have been used during 
 
preceding seasons I would suggest that 3 or 4 per cent. of potash would be 
 
ample for the amount of phosphoric acid and nitrogetl present. With trn ck 
 
and fruit trees 5 per cent. and upwards can be used to good advantage.

MY DEAR SIR- Yours of January 19 th just at hand. In re,;ard to the dispo3ition of the carcasses of animals I wou ld suggest that you try them with caustic lime in a pit. After the lime h as decomposed them the mass can be miK:ed 
 
with woods' earth or muck, or other material, and formed into a compost. The canasses could also be cut up and com posted without firat using the 
 
lime, but would prove quite a disagreeable job. 
 
Decayed saw duit from any wood is of value upon most soils. It makes clay soils less stiff and puts them in better ti lth, and it acts as a c:mservator

DEAR SIR-Yours of January 29th at hand. Formula No. 2, on page 45 of Bulletin No. 32, is certainly far from equal to a high grade commercial fertilizer, as it only contains about $5.00 worth of plant food, while a high grade commerdal fertilizer contains ab:>ut $20.00 worth of plant food. The formulre on page 45 were. gotten up as $5.00 goods of better character than the iormulre some parties were offer ing the public, and they are not claimed to be equal to goods worth four times a3 much. The mechanical effect of the muck, w Jods' earth or marl will, of comae, be of some value, as will also any nitrogen which it may contain, but it would not be safe to consider it (even allow ing ior these) as being of more th :m onethird the Vdlue of a high-gude commercial fertilizer.

ACID PHOSPHATE FROM BONK 
ATLANTa, G ,L, Feb. 12, 1898. 
W. D. SimkiM & Co., 175 Bay Street , Savanah, Ga. 
DBAR Srns-You rs of February ltth just at hand. You ask if a manufacturer selling a goods guaranteed 8 per cent. pho3phoric acid, 6 per cent. ammonia and 5 per cent potash, can get the 8 per cent. available phosphoric acid from b:me and ge~ in the other percentages in the two thousand pounds. Your query is not explicit enough for me to feel sure as to what you really wish to know. I will state the matter in such a manner, however, that yo~1 can figure out the facts yourself. 
Ordinary raw bone contains about 20 per cent. pbo3phoric acid and the nitrogen calculates to a little over 4 per cent. of ammonia. As such raw bone when ground, does not contain more than about one-third of its phosphoric acid in an available form, it would not be prdcticable to use such raw bone untreated for making the above formula. If, however, the bone was burnt to bone black or to bone phosphate, it could be treated with sulphu ric acid and give an excellent acid pho3phate; this, however, woulc;l be done at the expense of thelos3 of th 3 nitrogen in the bone. U nder such management, however, there could be gotten enough phosphoric acid to enable one to. make the above formula by using tbe proper ammoniates and potash saltes. By treatment with superheated steam, it would be possible t? so exhaust tbe bones as to put them in a condition to make a high grade acid phosphate. 
There is an acidulated bone on the m :uket which is claimed to be made from animal bone. It i;~ guaranteed to contain 17 per cen t. of available phosphoric acid, and 2~ par cent. of ammonia. Such goods can be made by proper treatment. Wi th an acidulated bone of this character goods can be made of the guarantee to which you refer thus : 
lll uriate of Potash (50 per cent, actual potash) .. .....................................200 Jbs = 100 lbs, Potash Blood (with nitrogen equivalent to 16 per cent ammonia) ...................600 lbs = 96 lbs. Am'ia

This would give a goods with .. ............................... ... .. .............................. Potash- 5 .0 per cent Ammonia= 6.3 " ' 
Avail. Phos. A.= 10.2 " 
Available pho3phoric acid, that is the phosphoric acid that can be secured by plants, is equally as good whether secured frow the bones of recent animals, or 9 animals that died thousands of yt>ars ago, or from phosphate rock. Bones, when properly powdered, ara certainly most valuable fertilizerp, both on account of their phosphoric acid and their nitrogen, but their phosphoric acid is no better than the pho3phoric acid which exists in acid phosphate when made from ordinary rock pho3phates. We have found parties selling an acid phosphate claiming that it was not made from phosphate rock, but from pure bone. This I readily proved to be untrue by finding that it contained no nitrogen at all. The great advantage o bone over some other fertilizing materials is, that in addition to its considerable percentage o phosphoric acid it contains much nitrogen, but if this nitrogen is not chargad for, of course the bone would be a .very cheap material considering its true wor~h, but as the content of nitrogen is always considered as well as that of phos-

phoric acid in selling it, then to compare it with other phosphatic materials, 
 
such phosphatic materials should have the same amount of nitrogen accorded 
 
to them as exists in the bone. This could be s~cured equally as well from 
 
bone or cotton seed meal. 
 
I trust the above information will enlighten you upon the points to which 
 
you re fe. 
 
Very truly yours,

ATLANTA, GA., Feb. 12, 1898. 
 
DEAR Sru-Your letter to Hon. R. T. Nesbitt, Commissioner of Agriculture. 
 
has been referred to me, as be is absent from the city. 
 
The burnt bone to which you refer is what we usu ally call b one ash, and 
 
contains principally phosphoric acid and lime. The valuable nitroge n which 
 
it contains is burnt 01.1t by the fire . It can be used under any kind of crop as. 
 
other phosphatE's are used, but it would be much .better if you would dry the 
 
bones and grind them . You would not lose the nitrogen in this way, and the 
 
phosphoric acid would be much more available. It can, of course, be used 
 
in a compost in the form of bone ash, but it certainly is not an economical 
 
use of the bones to burn them, as the phosp horic acid is put in a le3s avail- 
 
able form as above stated, a nd the nitrogen driven off. 
 
Yours respectfully, 
 
GEORGE F. PAYNE.

MY DEAR SIRs-Yours of Feb. 8th in regard totobacco ash es at hand. The potash in tobacco ashes is fully as good a source of potash as kainit or muriate; fo some purposes it woul d probably be even b etter, as it is in the form of carbonate of potaBh. You know kainit at~d muriate contain a large amount of chlorine and for potatoes and tobacco this is not considered beneficial.

MY DEAR SIR- Yours of Feb 16th to Hon. R . T. Nesbitt, Commissioner of Agriculture, has been referred to me for reply. 
You can use your ashes to advantage in combination with kainit and acid phosphate ; 100 pounds per acre wou~d be a convenient a mount to use of tlie ashee. The ashes can also be used in a mixture with cotton seed to good advantage. The cotton seed are particularly desirable under co rn as the corn needs the nitrogen in it. Yery respectfully,

g round raw bone from the Armour .Packing Co., Kansas City, or from their 
 
age nt, Mr. D. B. 05borne, of this city. Where bone meal is largely used as a 
 
fer tilizer its degree of fineness is considered an 'important factor. If I re- 
 
m ember correctly, fine bone meal has about t to ! of its phosphoric acid in 
 
an availabl e form as determined by the metho Is recognized as correct by the 
 
.agr ic ultural chemists throughout the world. I may be able to find you some 
 
.analyses of mine on the availability of the phosphoric acid in bone meals if you 
 
would like for me to look them up for you. I infer from your letter that you 
 
are endeavoring to p rove or disprove the claim that insoluble phosphoric acid 
 
in bone soon becom es available. This is a point well worthy of careful investi 
 
gation . 'Ihe rap id decomposition of the ossein which penetrates even the 
 
microscopic structure of the mineral matter of the b one may well bring about 
 
tremendous changes, but that such changes rapidly c1use the whole amount

DEAR Sta - Yours of the 6th to the Comm is3ioner of Agriculture, Hon. R . 'l' ~esb itt , has bee n referred t o me for reply. 
You ask what is n itrogen and what is ammonia and what is the difference between th em ? 
N itrogen is an element aud chemist~ have never been able to prove it a compoun d . Our atm os ph ere is about 4-5 nitrogen and 1-5 oxygen. 
Am monia is a compoun d of nitrogen and hydrogen; 14 pounds of nitrogen a nd 3 pounds of h yd rogen make 17 pounds of ammonia. 
The chemical symbol for nitrogen is the letter N. 'l'he chemical symbol for hydrogen is H. The ch em ical form ula for ammonia is NH3 H ydrogen is th e lightest element, and an atom , or chemical unit of it, is the uni t with wh ich al l other elements is compared . A chemical unit or an atom -of nit rogen is fou rteen times heavier than one of hydrogen, hence ig the above fo rmul a of ammonia, N H3 , the letter N stands for one chemicallfnit of nit rogen equal in weight to 14 uuit9 of hydrogen, and the H 5 represents 3 hydrogen units. A ruolecule is a ch emical compound made up of two or more atoms . A molecul e is t he che.mical unit of a chemical compound . As stated abo,e 17 po unds of ammonia contains 14 poun ds of nitrogen and 8 pounds of hyd rogen, or stat~d in per CPn ts . amm onia is composed of :-

Phosphoric acid is a combination of the elements phosphorus, hydrog-m and oxygen. Its ~hemical formula is H3P04 What is called in common parlance phosphoric acid, is what is called by chemists phosphoric anhydride. Phosphoric anhydride does not become an acid until it has combined with water, but its old name phosphoric acid is still used for it commercially.. Phosphoric anhydride, or phosphorus pent-oxide, as it is also called by chemists (so-called pho3phoric acid ), has the formula P20 5 
An atom of phosphorous is 31 times heavier than an atom of hydrogen, and' an atom of oxygen is 16 times heavier than an atom of hydrogen, hence the formula P20 5 contains two atoms of phosphorus equivalent in weight to (31X 2) 62 atoms of hydrogen, and five atoms of oxygen equivalent in weight to (16X5) 80 atoms of hydrogen (the chemical unit). By addin g these figures together (62 + 80) we have the result 142; this is called the molecular weight of phosphoric anhydride or so-called phosphoric acid. Hen ce in 142 pounds of P,05 there are 62 pounds of pho3phorus and SO pounds of oxygtn or stated in per cents:- 
 
Phosphorus ........................ ............................ .. ... ...... . .........43 .8 Oxygen .... .. ..................... ................................. .. .......... .. ... 56~2 
 
In the usual fertilizers of the market pho3phoric acid (so-called) exists in 
 
three forms-one soluble in pure water, one soluble in soil-waters ann 
 
another soluble in strong acids. The first is called soluble phosphoric acid, 
 
the second reverted phosphoric acid, the third insoluble phosphoric acid. Th e- 
 
sum of the phosphoric acid soluble ,in pure water, and in the soil-water makeS> 
 
up the available phosphoric acid. 
 
You also ask what will the following formula contain in percentages of 
 
avail. phosphoric acid, ammonia (calculated from nitrogan) and pota;h : --

WHY PHOSPHORIC ACID, AMMONIA AND POTA. H ARE US ED AS. FERTILIZERS-WHAT IS MEANT BY THE SYMBOLS K ,O. 
ATLANTA, GA., March 11th , 1898 .  A. J. Howell, E sq., Jfadison, Gq,. 
DEAR SIR-Yours of Feb 7th to Hon . R. T. NesbiH, Commissioner of Agriculture, was in some way delayed in reachiu ~ the department. It was turned over to me yesterday with the request that I reply to you. I send by even mail two of our bulletins which contain articles explaining the terms to which. you refer. The bulletin which has the fullest explanation was i&s ued between the two sent, and ha9 been completely exhausted on account of the 
 
  
ANALYSES OF COMMERCIAL FERl'ILlZERS -1817-1898. 35 
demands for it. I will give you, however, a brief explanation of the matter which will no doubt make it somewhat clearer to you. 
Plants require ten substances from the soil; seven of these substances usually exist in sufficient quantity, but three of them do not. The3e are phosphoric acid, ammonia or nitrogen and potash. Phosphoric acid occurs in fertiliz~rs usually in three forms, that which is soluble in pure water, called soluble phosphoric acid, that soluble in the water of the soil, called reverted phosphoric acid, and that only soluble in strong acid:l. This last is called insoluble phosphoric acid. The first two added together are called available phosphoric acid, as they are available to the plant. 
Pvtash is chemically an oxide of kalium. 'l'he word kalium is the Latin for the E nglish word potassium, so ~be formula K~O means two atoms of kalium (potassium ) and one atom of oxygen. The chemical formula is the chemist's shorthand for expressing exactly what a chemical compound is. You will see from this that the K20 is a definite, accurate expression as to what is meant in a given case by the very indefinite word potash. 
With much esteem, yours very truly, GEORGE F. PAYNE.

DEAR 8 111-Yours of March the 8th at hanJ. You ask" if th e potash in Sylvinit, Sulphate of Potash and Double Manure Salts is as much better in its r esults on crops as the differen ces in analysis would indic~te ?" 
If you refer to the percentage of potash in such goods, th ose which contain the most potash, other things being equal, a1a, of course, the most valuable. A highl y purified Sulphate of Potash, nearl y free from Chlorine, is much better ada pted for potatoes, tobacco and sugar beets than when large quantities of Chlorine are present. The Double Manure salt. contains magnesia, and in some cases th e magnesia might be of value, but, as a rule, Slils contain ample magnesia. With m uch esteem,

THE EFFE CTS OF ABSOR BING MOISTURE OR OF DRYING OUT. 
 
ATLAN'rA, GA., March 15th, 1898. 
 
J. W. Hug er, Esq., Savannah, Ga. 
 
DEAR SIR-Yours of March 5th came duly to hand. I will number my 
 
::replies to co rrespond with your queries:__: 
 
.No.1. It is not practicable f>r a manufacturer to make every bag of a com- 
 
plete fertilizer run id entica lly the same. With proper management, however, 
 
the goods can be made to run very closely alike throughout; but to so thor- 
 
ou_ghly mix goods as to make them run absolutely identical in every analysis 
 
would increase the cost very considerably. 
 
2nd. I t is not fair to draw a eample from one sack only if there are anum  
 
ber of Sicks in a lot, as in the manufacture of such goods on a large scal e, it 
 
is assumed that the mixing is not absolutely perfect. 
 
3rd. Sa mples drawn many months after fertilizers are delivered do not 
 
always r apresent the exact character of the goods when first delivered, as th e 
 
absorptim of moisture cause3 all of th e valuable ingredients to run slightly 
 
lower, and drying out of the goods, or the loss of moisture, ca uses th e valuable 
 
ingredients to run slightly higher. 
 
4th. In a lot of 150 sacks, it would be fair to take a sample from every tenth 
 
sack. This, if properly done, should secure a fair average sample. 
 
5th. Exp osure to unusu ally damp weather, or weather unusu ally dry, will 
 
cause the fertilizer to increase or decrease in weight, as the case may be, and 
 
in this case t he percentages of valuable plant food would be proportionately 
 
decreased or increased. When commercial fertilizers are not thoroughly 
 
mixed, they will sometimes run lower than expected in one ingredien t, and, 
 
in a corresponding manner, will run higher in some of the other ingredients 
 
on account of the analysis being made upon percentages, and if th ere is a 
 
smaller per cent. of one ingredient in a sam ple, t here is naturally a larger per 
 
cent. in some of the other material, unl ess, as sometimes happens, an inert 
 
fille r is used. Then, if the sample co ntains an unusual amount of fill er, all of 
 
th e ingredients will run lower than ex pected, and if there is a less amount of 
 
fi ller present in the sample than usual, then all of the ing redi ents would be 
 
in r.lined to run higher, ii th ey were fa irl y well mixed indepen dent of the 
 
fi ll er.

D EAR SCR - Yo urs of March 22d, to Hon . R. T. Nesbitt, Commissioner 0f 
 
.A griculture, in regard to cotton-seed meal, acid phosphate with potash, and 
 
Ober's Ammoniated Guano which hag passed through a fire has been referre~ 
 
to me for reply. 
 
Cotton -see l meal contains nitrogen combined with organic matter, and 
 
according to the more or less perfect combustion of the cotton-seed meal wilr 
 
the nitrogen be proportionately decreased. Cotton-seed meal can be burned 
 
to ashes and yield about 7 per cent. of such ashes. The ashes will contain 
 
the phosphoric acid and potash which was originally in the cotton-seed meal, 
 
but the nitrogen can be completely driven out by thorough burning. Your 
 
cotton-seed meal will contain an amount of nitrogen depending upon the 
 
deg ree to which it has been burned. If it has been simply scorched enough. 
 
to drive out the water in the cotton-seed meal, it would not be materially in- 
 
jured. The acid phosphate with potash, unless burned at a very higll tem- 
 
pemture, woul d not be likely to lose phosphoric acid or potash, but there 
 
would be less of the pho8phoric acid available if the compound has been 
 
very much heated . 
 
The ammoniated guano could readily have its ammonia driven out alto- 
 
ge ther by the lire, but whether this is the case or not dependa (In the amount 
 
of beat to which it has been subjected. 
 
These materials being in bags and lying close together in a powdered form. 
 
it is Yery likel y that th eir organic matter did not undergo complete combus- 
 
ti on, if such was th e case the amount of nitrogen or ammonia present win 
 
depend upon how completely such combustion did take place. I wou!d ad- 
 
vise you to have an analysis made of each one of the materials after a 
 
thorough sampling of the whole mass, as this is the only way in which you. 
 
can be sure of the condition of either of the t.hree substancee.

The analysis which. you requeit of the Patapsco Guano Co.'s goods will be furni~hed you from the Commissioner of Agriculture's office, as I never receiva the names of the manufacturers nor the names of the brands of fertilizers-everything being sent to me by number only. The reason why you do not get a good proportionate result from your  whole cotton seecl on their first application as from the same amount of nitrogen in the form of cotton seed meal, is on account of the much better mechanical condition of the cotton seed meal and also on account of the large superabundance of oil in the whole seed. In some soils in some seasons, it is probable that you would get equal resnlts from the whole cotton seed as with the meal when they contain equal amounts of nitrogen, but yon can readily understand how conditions may exist in which the very oily char11cter of the whole seed will make them resist the attempt of the soil -waters to transfer their fertilizing ingredients to the plant through the medium of the roots which are accus tomed to obtaining their supply through watery mediums rather than through oily ones. In the succeeding season, further decomposition will go on in the whole cotton seed and its nitrogen will be given up and eventually obtained by the growing crop. 
The seeds sprouting will not cause th e soil to lose any appreciable amount of nitrogen, ii they are promptly covered after such sprouting occurs. The new tissue and li ving organic matter which has been formed, however, from the seed wi ll probably be less rapidly decomposed than the seed themselves, and in this way, possibly all of the nitrogen would n ot be as quick ly available. 
Plants growing from seeds first simply take up the stored-up material in the se~u, and then gaining strength enough, secure additional material from the soil and air, and young plants with their seed attached, inclusive with the soi l in which they grew, would certainly contain as much nitrogen as did the soil before the plants spro uted . In many cases the plants and soil would contain more nitrogen than did the soil alone, as some plants have the ability, in a more or less degree, of securing nitrogen from the atmosphere. The nitrogen which has gone into the young plants would not be as quickly available as if it had been left in the ground, as decomposition of the plants would hnve to take place before the nitrogen became again available. 
The Department of Agriculture_Las a considerable excess each year and it would be a great pleasure to me if I were allowed to use such surplus for trying such experiments as you suggest in the field. The av<:Jrage farmer with poor, woruout land is very anxious to know what are the most profitable fertilizers for him on such land. This could only be demonstrated by takin g plats, in various sections of the State, of average poor land and demonstrating the most profitable way to use a dollar in purchasing fertilizing material for p )Or land in th a t particular section. The State, however, gives me no authority to do such work and the Experiment Station is handicapped to operating upon land which has been repeated ly fertilized heavily year after year. 1 am a firm believer in the great benefit of' fertilizers and yet I feel convin ced that 111any doll ars are spent every year in Georgia for certain materials which are not properly adapted to that particular localilty in regard to land, seasons, etc.

trogen present. 25 ~bs . Muriate of Pot. at 50 per cent. = 1 2~ lbs. Pot. 17 l bs. Nitrate of Soda at 18 per cent. = 3.03 lbs. Am. from Nit. present. This is a total of 292 lbs. 18 lbs. Phos. Acid in 292 lbs. is = 6.16 per cent. Phos. ACid. 9 lbs. Ammonia from cotton-see-d meal and 3.06lbs. from nitrate is 12.06 lbs. 1u 29:.? lbo. This is = 4.13 per cent. ammonia. 12}~ lbs. of Potash in 292 lbs. will be equal to 4.28 per cent. potash. I do not thin k it wise for you to put your seed in direct contact with the fe rtili zer. h would be better to mix the fertilizer with some portion of the soil first.

LIME.

ATLANTA, GA., April 15th, 1898. 
 
DEAR IR-You rs of March 30th at hand. Lime does not prevent rust in 
 
-cotton. P otash salts are considered a specific for rust, as in tbl:l majority of 
 
cases of this t rouble, there is a deficiency of potash in the soil. Lime is 
 
needed by plants, but mos t soils contai n enough for the needs of vegetation 
 
and besides there is a considerable amount of lime in the usual commercial 
 
fe rtilizers. Lime, however, is of great benefit in flocculating particles 
 
of clay and th us making stiff clay soils more porous. Lime also causes sandy 
 
particles to cohere and ca uses very sandy soil to be less porous, so it is advan- 
 
tageous to use it where soi ls are eithe r too compact or too porous. It also has 
 
some chem ical action in breaking up certain combinations in the soil in such 
 
.a wa y as to ma ke them more available to the plant.

RESERVOIRS OF WATER I~ THE SOIL. 
Nearly all the moisture used by plants is brought to them by th e silent force of capillarity (natu re ).  If the soil is in proper physical condition " moisture flies upwards to the roots of vegetation from the great rEservoirs in the subsoil as easily and as certainly as it runs downward by gravit.ation_ The more the subject is studied the deepe r is found the real underlying principles of successful husbandry. There should be an ampl e reservoir in t h& soil for the storage of moisture to tide over plants at critical periods. Thi;;. moisture should not be in the form of free water, or that which is capable of be-ing pushed along by its own weight, but water that is held in tbe soi l by capillarity. Well prepared soils are capable of holding about 30 pe r cen G. of their own weight of moisture by capi llarity, and yet not contain any free or flowing water. Water may rise fully three fe e t by capillary force alone. Three feet of soil weigh 5,400 tons per acre; 30 per cent. of this is l,G20 tons, or 3,6:l2,800 lbs., or 400,000 gallons. This is n ature's g reat reservoir from which plants draw mois ture. If this reservoir is but 6 inches deep-th e more common depth -it will bold but one-sixth as much, and hence plants. grown over this small reservoir would likely droop in dry weather.

bid defiance to any reasonable drouth. Having provided a supply of water, the next effort is to make as much of it as possible pass through the plant and allnw as little as possible to evaporate from the surface. This is done by keeping the soil so porous and loose for two or three inches at and near the urface that water cannot pass upwardi excpt through the plant8. Beneath our feet, then, are found ever acting kindly forces and annum bered forms of vegetation, all waiting t'l be guided and dirilCt3tl into channels by the skill of the husbandmen.-F,om the AJricultttral Journxl of the Cape of Good Hope, Jcm . 20, 1898. 
THE SOURCE OF MOISTURE IN THE SOIL. 
In agricultural journals and at farmers' institutes the idea is not infreque ntly advanced that during summer drouths cultivated soils get mueh of their moisture from the air, the water being precipitated upon the surface in the form of dew, and especially within the loose soil. We know that summer rains. are an inadequate sou rce of water supply for growing plants in ordinary seasons, and that an additional supply is important. Experience teaches that tillage of the right sort results in th e presence of more moisture in the top soil than would be the case if snch work were negleded. If it is true that the chief so urce of moisture during drouth  i~ the water in the air that is passing through loose soil, it follows that we have exaggerated the importance of preserving the water by a" dust mulch," and that the main thing to watch is that we cultivate often after th e drouth comes, thus mixin g air with soil and causing precipitation. 
One seemingly plausible argument used by those who believe that the air furnishes much of the moisture is th e attempt to dig post-holes in compact soils du ring a serious drouth sho ws that th e s ubsoil is very dry and hard, and could not send water up to the roots of plants in the top soil. 'rbe obYious reply is that post holes are usually dug in uncultivated land , and the water has escaped rapidly through lack of any mulch of loose soil at the surface. There is also the probability that the hardness of the surface soil has prevented the land [rom receiving due benefit from the rainfall preceding the drouth. In the subsoil of a well-ti lled fi eld more water would be found. There is a la rge qua ntity of water in the subsoil of land that receives the rainfall freely, and that is provided with a mulch to prevent r apid evaporation. The post-bole experience proves nothing in this case. 
After weeks of droutll the farmer who gives frequent shallow tillage to his corn fie ld, finds that he has about two inches of loose soil that is very dry at midday. It is true that the surface of the soil is moist in tile early morning, and sor e precipitation oi water from the air is apparent, but if a little clod is turned over one finds that the under side is about as dry as at noon the preceding clay. The precipitation is only skin de ep in effect. It does good doubtless, but it cannot be the sou rce of the moisture below the loose earth mulch, or else the entire mul ch would be moistened alike or nearly so . This seems fairly conclusive ev ;dence that the w.tter below ow<Js its prasence t() another cause.

But there is much more conclusive evidence that we are dependent almost entirely upon the stored water from pastrainifor moisture when drouth comes, -and that the air is not an available reservoir in practic.1ble amount, from wbich water may be got by constant stirring of the soil. No careful experimenter will deny that the mulch is the most effective preventive of loss from drouth that we can use. If a ~ood seed bed is made for wheat early in the season, and the surface be mulched with a t hin coat of straw, moisture will accumuilate in the soil d uring a drouth, and after burning off the straw mulch one may usually drill iu the wheat with the assurance of a stand of plants when exposed lands can not be seeded on account of lack of rain. A mulch in the J)Otat4l field practically insures a crop. More instances need not be mentioned; the value of a mulch for securing moisture is known by experience t o most of us. 
The water that falls in the winter and spring is the surest so urce of moisture for summer cro ps that we possess. We n eed the summer rains, but equally do we need the water stored by winter rains. The precipitation of water th~t results from the contact of air wi th soil does not appear to be consiJerable, but it makes the surface of the soil serve as a wet blanket, stopping for the time any diminution of the total content of the soil moisture, and in this way is valuable. The fBct, however, that thoroughly mulched land retains th e most water during a drouth, notwithstand ing the ill effects of a deficiency in rainfall, much better than cultivated land that is protected by an earth mulch, proves that the water is already in the ground, and that by cu ltivation of t he surface of land during drouths we seek to hold this water in the S'lil rather t han to get a new supply from the air.-Alva A lgee in Goun try Gentll'lnan. 
 
'THE CONSERVATION OF SO IL MOISTURE BY MEANS OF SUBSOIL PLOWING. 
BY T. L. L YoN, of Neb raska. 
The strikingly beneficial and lasting effects on th e ~rowth of corn an d sugar beets of subsoiling a fine .upland loam at the station are described and i llu strated, and the successful experience of a farmer at Geneva, Nebraska, is given. 
The following suggestions are made: "Subsoil plowing, although a means of conserving mois ~ure , does not pro .<J uce it, and ill, therefore, not a substitute for irrigation where the rainfall is too small to produce crops.. "Where there is a bard, dry subsoil, subsoil plowing is to be recommended. "Where the subsoil is loose, gravelly, or sandy, subsoiling is probably unnecessary , or may even be injurious. "Do not subsoil when the soil is very wet, either above or beneath, as there is great danger of puddling the soil, thus leaving it in wor8e condition than before. This is one of the reasons why it is better to subsoil in the fall t han in the sprin g. 
 
 ANALYSES OF COMMERCIAL FERTILIZERS-1897-1898. 43 
"Ii t he gr.JUnd be subsoiled in the fall, the winter and spring rains have cample opportunity to soak in, that being the season of greatest Jainfa\1 and 
least e\!lporation. " 'ubsoiling in the spring may be a positive detriment if the subsoil be 
extremely d ry, !IS in that case the rain water is partiRlly removed from the yo ung plan t by the absorption of the bottom soil. If the spring rains were .hea,y , thi s would not be a disadvRnt~ge." 
NITROGINE AND A "ALITE. 
At the meeti ng held in Berlin, February 16th, by the fertilizer section of the <G erman Society of Agriculture, under the presidency of Dr. Schult z, of Lupitz, Dr. :FrRnk, of Berlin, treRted in a geneml way the question of inoculation of -the oil by n itrogen-accumulating bacteria. He said: "As is well known, in -orJer to , upp ly to the soils the bacteria of the nodules neceseary to legumi noHC fo r symbiosis, at first there was used inoculating earth, but latterly pure -cultures of bacteria, under the nRme of nitro~ine. Experiments made with nitrogine ha,e been already quite numerous, bnt often are contradictory. In -order to explain the frequent fRi lures it must be borne in mind, _first, that the inoculation "ith symbiotic bacteria C!ln be successful only when Rll the oth er ('O ndi tions of growth Rnd nutrition are fulfilled; second, that in arable soils that contain a sufficiency of nitrogen compounds the symbiosis by bacteria is m ore or less useless. 
" Tbereiore new earths are those especially suitablE' for making the inoculations. Bu t even here nitrogine does not always succeed . It seems to lar:k somethin g, for the broadcRsting of inoculation earth succeeds where nitrogine fails. It is probable that the bacteria lose some of the vital force by reason of the cu lt ure and gelatine. The nitrogine should be ameliorated by the choice of a media more suitable. 
" Another inocnlating bacteria is analile. Its duty is to open to cerea's the n tst nitroge n reservoir of the atmosphere. According to the researches of Stut zer an d Hartleb, the bacillus contained in th is culture when pure appears iden tical wi th th e bacillus of the soil, the schizomycete, the existen!'e of which Fran k in 1886 demonstrated in all soils, and which resembles very much the bac illus of grass, if in deed not the same, and is called bacillus terrigenu~. Alread y at that time be had demon strated tha t it iluidified gelatine , t hat i to say, it fed on Rlbumiuoid substances, but not on ammonia, and that it did not ni trify the latter. Stutzer and Hartleb have not only confirmed th~ se properties of the bacillus of analite, but they have also shown that it destroys the n itric acid by reduction, and cannot assimilate elementary nitro-?en . I t may be possiblP. that this schizomycete, or any other living organism tn ~b e soil ca n provoke augmentations of yield in the case of plants not le~u ll1lnoHc, bnt among which they are eituated by reason of the previot s culture -of th e latte r. As a matter of fact, comparati ve experiments in pots , carried on by Frank for several years, clearly demonstrate the following fact: Each -culture apparently leaves in the soil an organism favorable to that culture. Thus, in some pot experiments Frank, by adding to the soil of the pots, in the

case of a specific culture, some earth taken from a soil having borne a culture 
 
of the same kind, obtained crops superior to those obtained after using these 
 
same earths after sterilizing them. 
 
"It follows, therefore, that the development of a plant can be assisted by 
 
inoculating favorable organisms taken from earth giving large yields of this 
 
same plant." 
 
1 
 
In the discussion which followed this communication, Dr. Wilfarth con- 
 
firmed the favorable results obtainPd with nitrogine, but regretted on the 
 
other hand, that such a complex question as that of analite should fall pre- 
 
maturely into practice. 
 
Various members took part in the discussion, the majority having obtained 
 
favorable results with nitrogine while working in various soils . 
 
.COMBINED NITROGEN FRO:VI ATi\10SPHERW .NITROGEN. 
Nithack, in German Patent No. 95,532, has prepared nitrogen compounds from atmosph eric nitrogen in the following manner: He saturates water, under pressu re, with nitroge n, and brings to bear the action of an electric current, continuing to make the nitrogen act under high pressure. It seems that there is a formation of ammoniacal solutions capable of technical use. By continuing the reaction one can, by the action of the elect.rolytic oxygen, produce oxygenized.substances, especially nitrate of ammonia. The patent of Nithack describes all the arrangements necessary for the preparalion or the various nitrogen products from the nitroge n of the atmosphere . 
FERTILIZERS AND PROFIT I:~ COTTON RAISING. 
United States Depa'l'tment of Agriculture. J. Hyde. 
Table 10 is one which sho uld be of great interest to farm ers, e8pecially to those engaged in cotton raising. It expres3es some of the resul ts of an investigation by this department of the <'Ost of raising cotton. Numerous reports were made by cotton planters, and among other thin gs they stated the cost of the fertilizer used in raising cotton in 18!)6 on one average acre und er c ultivation, and also stated in detail the other items of expense anu the income received frdm the cotton and seed. 
Returns were received from 1,4il5 planters who used commercial fe rtilizers, and who expAnded for th em various amounts per acre, some of the planters makin g a net profit and some suffering a los~ . Those who made a profit have been separated from those who lost, and each class has been tabulated accord.: ing to the amount of expense for fertiliz9rs, as shown in Table 10. 
INCREASE OF PROFIT WITH JNCR8A~E OF FERTILIZERS. 
It appears that there were 21 planters who spent less th an $1 each per acre for fertilizers, and that their average profit was $-1.6::? per acre. The planters who spent from $1 to $1.99 per acre for fertilizers bad an average profi t of $509 
 
 ANALYSES OF CO MMERCIAL FERTILIZERS-189i-1 89 . 45 
11er acre ; t hose wh o spent from $2 to $2.99 had an a verJga profit of $5.3 !; those who spent from $3 to $3.99 bad an average profit of $-5.91; th ose who s pent from $4 to $4.99 had an average profit of $7.96 ; those who spent from $5 to $5 .99 bad an average profi t of $8.76 ; while the planters whose fertili zers cost them per acre $6 and ove r had an average net profit per acre of $12.51. 
It will t hus be n oticed that increase of expense for fertilizer in cotton raising ap paren tl y leads to increase of profits, and, further, that, as far as this table discloses, t he p oint of d iminishing returns was not reached iu the total Ior the fi ve States that ara includ ed, and where it was reached, apparently, in any State, t he result ia pr0babl y a chance one due to the small number of returns. 
LOSSE S BY USE OF FERTILIZERS. 
In the ca3e of the planters who lost it is equall y true that increase of 
e x peuse for fertilizer was accompanied by increase of loss, an! while at fi rst 
this may seem antagonistic to th e conclusions warranted for th e planters who made a pr0fit, in reality it confi rms them. The planters who lost did so because of more or less crop failure due principally to d routh, in which case, as is well k no wn, the effect of t he fertilizer is to "burn " the plants. Had th estl crops been ra ised n ud er nor mll conditions los1es would have b een g ain s, although n ot necessarily eq ui valent ones. 
An exa mi nation of Tabb 10 will lead to a comp1rison of profi t in cotton raising with exp ense fo r fertili zers for ' South Carolina, G~org ia, :Flori da, No rth Carolina and Alabama , wi t h s eparat.ion of sea island fr om upland cotton.

KEROSE ' E OIL-WEIGHT PER GALLON. 
ATLANTA, GA ., April 4th, 1Hfl8. 
Messrs. Watson & Leivis, Hawkin ville, Ga. DEAR SIRS- Yours of April lst juet at band-in quiring in regard to the 
standard weight of the different grades of keroEene oil per gallon. The weight per gallon of a kerosen e oil will depend on its specific gravity. If there is any Jaw fixing the weight per gallon for kero;;ene oil in this State, I am not aware of it. The weight of a gallon of kerosene oil will vary with the temperature. In some oi ls which I have examined recentl y, I found the specific gravity of kerosenes to b a as foll ows:

A United States gallon of water weighs 58328.8 grains-hence the weight 
of a kerosene with a gravity of .800 would be 58328.8 .8000

This calculation gives one gallon of kerosene at this gravity a weight of 6 lbs. and a little over 10)1! ozs. and oil at a gravity .7875 will equal,

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE WATER-WHITE AND FIRE-PROOF. 
 
ATLANTA, GA., May Gth, 1898. 
 
E. Phillips, Esq., Columbus, Gt.:.. 
 
DEAR 8m-Yours of May 5th, in regard to the difference between fire-proof 
 
kerosene oil and water-white kerosene oil, just received. 
 
The fire test, you eay, is the eame for both, that is, 150 degrees. You also 
 
ask if the fire-proof is a superior grade of oil to the water-white, from the con- 
 
sumer's; standpoint. The waterwbite oil sells, wholesale, at 12c. per gaBon, 
 
and the fireprcof at 12~c. per gallon. I have not recently examined these 
 
two classes of oils, but would infer from the names "fire-proof'' and the 
 
higher price, that the fire-proof oil is the bst from the consumer's stand- 
 
point and as a matter of fact. Judging from my past examination of such 
 
oils, I h.fer that the fire-proof oil contains less oil with an abnormally high 
 
boiling point and lees oil with an abnormally low boiling point than the water 
 
white; in other words, it bas probably lees very heavy oil in it and less very 
 
light oil, and ie ccmposed more completely of a middle fraction of the oil, 
 
which is not too heavy to bm n "~Veil, and not so light as to be dar gerous. The 
 
class of oil which contains neither too much light oil nor too much heavy oil 
 
I usually designate as nOJmal oil. There are some of the ordinary kerosenes 
 
on the market which contain comparatively very little normal oil, being 
 
chit'fly made up of the very heavy fraetions (too heavy for lamp oil and too 
 
light for lubricating purpoEes), and a certain proportion of a very light oil. 
 
This burrs well at fiTEt, but when the light cil is largely burned up, the very 
 
heavy oil burns badly and scarcely well enough to kt.ep a lamp going without 
 
frequent elevation of the wick. 
 
Very respectfully, 
 
GEORGE F. PAYNE.

CATTLE FEEDING. 
 
CATTLE FEEDING. 
ATLANTA, GA., April 7th, 1896. 
Hon. 0. G. Sparks, Jr., Macon, Ga. DEAR Ovm-Yours of April 4th just at hand. We think the cooking would 
be of considerable ad vantage to the cotton seed as it would make it more digestible. Four tons of bulls to one ton of meal i3 a proper proportion for feed; but four tons of hulls to one ton of whole seed makes too poor a feed for the best results. Two tons of hulls to one ton of whole seed would be nearer .right. We think, however, it would be quite an advantage to feed some corn meal with this ration, if necessary to keep them in full appetite. 
I would suggest to you the ad visibility of weighing separately a half a dozen head of your cattle and feeding them a week or two with the abovE" proportioned cotton seed ration and then weigh them again and note the increase, .and if you have any changes which you think may be advantageous, make such changes upon this selected six; try the change for a week or two, and weigh up the six head of cattle at the end of this similar period of time and -compare result~<. You can thus form some idea of which is tbe most economical manner for them to secure flesh and fat. 
Wishing you much success, I remain with kind regards, Your friend, GEORGE F. PAYNE. 
 
ADDITIONAL OIL MIXED WITH COTTON SEED HULLS NOT ADVISABLE. 
 
0 . G. Sparks, Jr, Macon, Ga . 
 
ATLANTA, GA., April 14th, 1898. 
 
DEAR Ovm-Yonrs of April 9th just at hand. We do not consider an excess 
 
.-o f oil in tbe cotton seed an advantage, as it is too likely to produce purging. 
 
I certainly would not advise that you use 40 gallons of oil to mix with the 
 
bulls, aa you will have a very badly balanced ration. It is true you would have 
 
ample fat producing material, but the lack of protein would interfere very 
 
.seriously with tbe proper development of the cattle. Protein is necessary for 
 
building up the muscles of the cattle and without proper muscles, which are 
 
1\esh, you can well understand what a hard time they would have digesting 
 
pure oil. Cotton seed meal is far too rich, as you well know, to feed alone. 
 
The oil is to expensive to use as a feed-leaving other considerations aside. 
 
I hne nev-er known of such a mixture as this being tried 8! a feed of them- 
 
selves. Cattle might be able to stand a considerable amount of it by the use 
 
-of some meal or whole seed, but as stated above, the absence o1 a proper 
 
-amou_nt of yrotein would cause it to be an imperfect feed. It ls ~!aimed in Louisiana that very successful experiments have been 
 
made With refuse molasses. The molasses are very rich in carbohydrates, 
 
 52 
 
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE-GEORGIA. 
 
and their proportion of protein is small. If oil was cheap enough, you might. 
 
make a trial of your plan upon one poor steer, but I can see no wisdom in. 
 
the idea, when the whole cotton seed and cotton seed meal are both chPaper 
 
and more d&sirable feeds. 
 
I have just calculated the nutritive ratio of two tons of hull!! to one ton of 
 
whole seed, and it is scarcely rich enough in protein to make what would be 
 
considered theoretically correct. One ton of hulls to one ton of whole seed! 
 
figures out about right, but actual trial will demonstrate it; in our warm 
 
climate a cheaper ratio may be 11'sed. It would be well to try all three pro- 
 
portions: 
 
Two tons hull s to one ton of whole seed. 
 
Ontj and one-half tons hulls to one ton of whole seed. 
 
One ton hulls to one ton whole seed. 
 
Actual weighing of th e cattle will demonstrate which f eed 1vill pay best, as it. 
 
is not so much what they eat as what they assimilate that demands your close 
 
attention for the most profitable resul.ts. Clover and peavines furnish much 
 
protein, and would supply a cheap source of this material to go with the- 
 
cotton seed hulls in place of a portion of the whole cotton seed. Wishing 
 
you much success, I remain your frieuu, 
 
GEORGE .F. PAYNE. 
 
SYRUP-TO MAKE CLEAR. 
ATLANTA, GA., April 26th, 1898;. 
W. L. Adnms, Esq., Pavo, Ga. DEAR Srrt-'fhere are a number of ways of clarifying syrup. Different ones- 
will act better under certain circumstances than others and it would be well for you to try a small batch with several different plans. If the Py rup is not. too thick, it might be possible to filter it through filtering paper and get it. clear; if it's too dense to manage in this way, it C<Uld be put through a fil-. tering press and made clear with but little trouble. You probably have not. 
access, however, to such a piece of apparatus. An earthenwal'e pipe from. four to six inches in diameter with some WELL WASHED sand in it migl!Jt be used successfully for filtering the syrup . The taller the co\umn of sand, then::ore perfect the filtration will be. The first filtrate run through the column of sand might not be clear and it should be continually returned to the top of the pipe until it does run clear. There are a number of materials which are used for what is called for mechanical clarification, su~;h a!! the .use of albumen, gelatine and other materials. If the sand process is imccessfu!, it will: be one of the simplest that you can carry out. 
Animal charcoal is also an excellent material through which to filter liquids: to be clarifie\l--in fact, there are so many methods that can be pursued, under different circumstances, that it would take quite a book to write a description of them all. What you wish, is something simple and practical .. and I would advise a trial first of the sand and then of the animal charcoal. 
Yours sincerely, GEORGE F. PAYNE.

WINES. 
ATL.~NTA, GA., Jan. 3, 1898. 
:Afr. C. Bieve1man, Cornelia, Ga. 
DEAR Sra- Yours of Dec. 30th at hand. You desire to know if the statement madtl by a practical wine grower and distiller is true, ''that wine in which the forma tion o vinegar has been going on for some time yields more brandy than wine in which the taste cannot diecover any vinegar." It is the sugar in the grape juice which is converted by vinous fermentation into alcohol. .and it is the alcohol which by acetic fermentation id converted into vinegar, If the fermentation in tb ~ wine is carried so far that all of the sugar is con verted into alcohol and none into vinegar, the yield o the alcohol will be at its highest. It may be that your "practical distiller'' has found that it is -easier for him to determine when all the sugar is converted into alcohol by the wine becoming slightly acid from the alcohol beginning to turn into acetic aci<l. A great trouble with all of the domestic wines manufactured in this s ection is their liability to turn sour. This is largely due to lack of alcoholic strength sufficient to preserve them properly. Sugar is freqnently acided to wineR that it may cause them to ferment to a greater alcoholic strength. Wines are constantly made of alcoholic strength sufficient to keep them by being fortified, that is by having fruit brandy or even alcohol from corn, rice -or potatoes added to them. Such substances as these which are rich in starch can be first converted into sugar, and from sugar into alcohol. These, however, do not furnish alcohols which contain the fine aroma of alcohols furnished by the various fruits. 
Yours respectfully, GEORGE F. PAYNE. 
 
U N FERMENTED GRAPE JUICE-HOW TO KEEP FROM SPOILING. 
ATLANTA, Ga., July 14, 1898. 
Mr. 0. S. Barr, Tullapoosa, Ga. 
D~:AR SJR:-Your letter to the Commissioner of Agricultulture, Col. R. T. Nesbitt., in rega"rd:to unfermented wine!!, 'bas been referred to me. 
Wine is fermented;grape juice, and so-called unfermented wine is simply grape juice which bas not been fermented. The grape juice can be either 
terilized or'.tr.1i'ted with antiseptics; neither process requires any expensive apparatus. The sterilization process is that of simply heating up the grape ~uice hot enough to kill all the germs, then corking securely and again heatmg. If there is any doubt in regard to this process keeping the wine, it is heated for half an hour the second day, and it will be eure to make the wine keep, but this second ht-atin~~: is hardly neceseary. The grape juice, if heated as hot as boiling water by the method above described, will not have as good a flavor as if it was not heated quite so much. If it is heated to 165 or to 185 degrees, ins.teag of _.!] 2.degree3, F., it wiWkeep quite as well if man~ged prop  erly. Thts process is called pasteurization. 
 
 54 
 
DEPARTMENT Oi' AGRICULTURE-GEORGIA. 
 
The antiAeptic method is simply the addition of a small awount of some such antiseptic as sodiuw salicylate or formic aldehyde. We would not advise the use of antiseptics when a thing can be well kept without their use. 
In regard to the manufacture of jellies and jams, they are generally made from refuse peelings and cores of apples and then flavored to represent other fruits. Overhea tin~ is a freq uent cause of what you call s ugarin g. 
Jellies, jams, etc., to take well in the market have to be put up in an attractive manner in uniform containers. As to the advisability of your going into the manufacture of jellies and jams from your unmarketable fruit, it is a commercial transaction in regarJ to which the safest plan would be to make an experimental beginning to see what you can do with them. For such work, of course, you need customers at remunerative prices, and this will be best secured by your own efforts. 
Yours res peetfully, GEORGE F. PAYNE.
