Wood Ashes. 



[I. Sent on from South Framinsham, Mass. II. Sent on from West Tisbnry, Mass. 

 III., IV. Sent on from South Sudbury, Mass.] 



The difference in moisture in the above analyses explains 

 somewhat the difference in potash. 



Wood AsJies. (Two samples.) 



[Sent on from South Deerfield Farmers' Club.] 



The first article is evidently a partly leached wood ash. 

 The two samples differ mainly in regard to their relative amonnt 

 of potash. This difference expressed in money value amounts 

 to from 26 to 27 cents per hundred weight of ashes, allowing 

 5.5 cents per pound of potassium oxide in case of wood ash.
