ANALYSES OF THE BROMOPHYTE FERTILIZER. 



Percentage, or amount contained in 100. 



From the analyses, we deduce the following 

 amounts, contained in a ton, or 2000 Ibs., together 

 with the value of a ton to the farmer : 



262-20 Ibs. Water i 



4-40 " Actual Ammonia I 



15*80 " Nitrogen in organic mat. i 



4-60 " Potash ( 



Trace Soluble Phos. Acid i 

 30-20 " Insoluble " " . 



$0.00 per Ib. $0.00 



0.25 " 1.10 



0.15 " 2.37 



0.08 " 0.37 



0.12J " 0.00 



0.00 0.00 



Total value as fertilizer $ 3.84 



Value of bags (say) 2.00 



Total value to farmer $ 5.84 



The above fertilizer is sold at $40 per ton, in- 

 volving a loss of $34.16, or 585 per cent, to the 

 farmer on every ton he purchases ; or, for the 

 manure alone, he pays $36.16, which is more 

 than 9 times as much as it is worth.
