 Potash Fertilizers. 
 
 Six samples of " Potash Fertilizers," in one ,case " said to be 
 ashes of Cotton Seed Hulls," and in another called " Sulphate of 
 potash," have been analyzed for parties in Suffield and Ware- 
 house Point. All of them were bought of R. E. Pinney, Suffield. 
 The results are as follows :

 This material, as the analyses show, is not uniform in composi- 
 tion. The phosphoric acid varies from 5.2 per cent, to 3 0.0, and 
 the potash from 1 J.8 to 32.5 per cent. The samples which are 
 dark in color, 1088_, 1125 and 1268, are inferior to those which 
 are light gray. 
 
 The water-soluble potash is valued at 7^ cents per lb. since 
 chlorine is not present in any considerable quantity. The potash 
 insoluble in water is disregarded in the valuation. 
 
 Phosphoric acid is valued at 10, 9 and 4^ cents, as in super- 
 phosphates. These articles furnish potash in a cheap and desir- 
 able form for tobacco, and we understand they were used chiefly 
 on tobacco land.

In the preceding tables the manufacturer's minimum guaran- 
 tee has in all • cases been given. The " cost ])er ton " is tliat 
 quoted by the retail dealer at the point where the sample was 
 taken, unless otherwise stated. 
 
 Trade Values in Superphosphates, Special Manures, and 
 Mixed Fbutilizers of High Gradp:s. - 
 
 The Organic Nitrogen in these classes of goods has been reck- 
 oned at the highest figure laid down in the Ti-ade- Values of 
 Fertilizing Ingredients in Raw Materials, namely, 20 cents ])er 
 pound. Insoluble Phosphoric acid has been reckoned at 4-| cents, 
 and Potash at 4^ cents if sufficient chlorine was present in the 
 fertilizer to combine with it. If there was more Potash present 
 than would combine with the chlorine, then this excess of Potash 
 has been reckoned as sulphate. 
 
 In most cases the calculated value of Superphosphates and 
 Specials falls considerably below the retail price. The difference 
 between the two represents the manufacturer's expenses in con- 
 verting raw materials into the manufactured, articles. These 
 expenses include grinding and mixing, bagging or barreling, 
 storage and transi^ortation ; commission to agents or dealers ; 
 long credits, interest on investment, bad debts, and finally profits. 
 
 In the season of 1883 the selling price of superphosphates and 
 specials in Connecticut was on the average 18 per cent, greater 
 than the Station valuations, or 38 per cent, in advance of the 
 wholesale cost of the fertilizing elements in the raw materials.
