Fertilizer Making.
At this season of the year w
receive more inquiries in rcgar
to the mixing ami using of lerti
izers than ahout any one suhjec
We answer the same or simil;
questions over and over agaii
which suggests the suspicion th:
some of our subscribers do n<
read this department closely ut
less they are looking for an ai
swer to a question thev then
selves have asked.
We have once before suggest et
and we now repeat the sugge
tion. that each one interested i
the Farm and Fanners depar
inent shall carefully li 1 <? the p;
per. or this page at least, for fi
tore references. We neeasiotia
ly refer an iin|nirer to a reeei
number for the information desi
ed. This we are enable to do b<
cause we keep always 111 eas
reach such a file of this page full
indexed.)
Now to the question of leitil
zers :
A "complete'' fertilizer, con
inonly indicated by the ten
"guano," contains all three <
the elements of plant food i
which our soils are more or le:
deficient. These three element
are phosphoric acid, potash ati
nitrogen (ammonia), l'hosphor
acid is considered the most in
portant because ordinary soils ai
most deficient in this element
nitrogen is of next importanc
and lastly potash. All these eh
ments are contained in stable mi
nure, but the latter generally coi
tains more nitrogen than phos
phoric arid and generally 11101
potash. Hence stable manure
classed a nitrogenious manur
Cotton seed and cotton meal a
so contain all three elements, bi
a still larger proportion of nitre
gen ; therefore these substance
especially cotton meal, are ab
classed as nitrogenous.
Dried blood is also a valuabl
source of nitrogen, being aboi
twice as rich as cotton meal.
Nitrate of soda is a valuabl
and exceedingly eonveniei
source of nitrogen, and i* espec
rlly suited for top dressing stun
grain in the spring and forintei
cultural r?Ti 11 ix i njr ??l most ;?arde
vegetables. It is not a Ivi <? < 1 t

element of a 1 i<* 1?1 fertilizer. In

Acid phosphate, or superphophate.
or dissolved rock, or di
solved hone, all meaning th
same thing, is the cheapest an
best source of phosphoric aci
alone. A simple acid phosphati
containing no potash, is sonn
times called, "plain acid pho:

art' I lie chief reliance of the manufacturers
of commercial fortili
r /ers. The larger factories make
(' the sulphuric acid, which is used
' to dissolve the S. C. rock phos'
phate into acid nhosohate Thi^
I I
" making of sulphuric acid and dis
' >olving the rock is about the only
d operations conducted by a man
d ufacturor that a farmer may m>t
l" do just as well, so far as making
l* (mixing) his own fertilizers is
1 concerned. The manufacturer
makes his acid phosphate (some
! do not make even that ) and then
s | mixes with it, in certain propor11,
lions, muriate of potash, to make
' a potash phosphate. For a "gu1
alio" he adds also some dried
1 blood, or tankage, or cotton seed
' meal, or some ot each, and sonicd

. o! the hundreds of names, and
' jsells it to the waiting farmer at
tlS or ."fr'JO or $22 a ton. He has
' a large building, heavy machinery,
a president and secretary
d and clerks and book keepers and

and superintendents and perhaps
a line city ollice and other salad

Hut an intelligent farmer can
do his own k* mixing" at a greatlv

less cost?we are certain. The

it does not have to pass inspection

than thirty or forty pounds, may
he put in with the planting seed.
With either of the above formulas
stable manure may he mix
ed, or applied to the same crop
and land without materially
changing the formula, unless
using a large quantity of stable
manure (more than one or two
tons per acre). One ton of good,
well-preserved and decomposed
stable rnunure contains about as
much nitrogen as 125 pounds of
cotton meal. Of ordinary Hot
manure" one ton contains probably
not more nitrogen than fifty
pounds of cotton meal or four
bushels of cotton seed.?('onstitu|
