Composition of Ash of Canes and Juices of Sorr/hum. 

 The actual compositiou of the pure ash, both of the whole cane and 

 the expressed juice, are matters of interest and importance. From a 

 careful study of the following figures, it will be seen that the amount 

 of potash extracted from the soil, is much greater than the amount I'f 

 any otherash ingredient, while the quantity of phosphoric acid is small 

 It would seem, then, that the farmer should supply these two con- 

 stituents, Avhen his soil seems to need them, in about the relative pro- 

 portions in which they exist in the ash. The following are analyses 

 of two lots of ash from sorghum, and two samples of ash from sorghum 

 juices :
