ANALYSES OF E. FRANK COE'S SUPERPHOS- 

 PHATE OF LIME. 



Percentage, or amount contained in 100. 



From the mean of the above analyses we de- 

 duce the following amounts contained in a ton, 

 or 2000 Ibs., together with the value of a ton to 

 the farmer : 



261-20 Ibs. Water v . . @ $ 0.00 per Ib. $ 0.00 



12-80 " ActualAmmonia @ 0.25 " 3.20 



27-80 " Nitrogen in organic mat. @ 0.15 " 4.17 



129-20 " Soluble Phos. Acid @ 0.12f " 16.15 



166-20 " Insoluble u " @ 0.00 " 0.00 



Total value as fertilizer $23.52 



Value of bags (say) 2.00 



Total value to farmer $25.52 



The above Superphosphate is sold at $52 per 

 ton, involving a loss of $26.48, or nearly 104 

 per cent, to the farmer on every ton he pur- 

 chases ; or, in other words, he pays more than 

 twice as much as it is worth.
