NITRATE OF SODA TWO SAMPLES. 



From Laconia, J 5-93 P er cent, nitrogen. 



From College Farm, 15.60 per cent, nitrogen. 



SUPERPHOSPHATES TWO SAMPLES. 



Dissolved boneblack from Littleton. 

 Plain superphosphate from Laconia. 



Soluble phosphoric acid, 

 Reverted phosphoric acid, 

 Available phosphoric acid, 

 Insoluble phosphoric acid, 

 Total phosphoric acid, 



But one of the lots of wood ashes could be considered really 

 good, on account of the comparatively low soluble potash. 

 The nitrate of soda and superphosphates were of standard 

 quality.
