COAL SCX)T AS FERTILIZER. 



Will you kindly let me know if the 

 soot from Pocahontas coal is of any 

 value? E. W. " 



Soot is the volatilized, unconsumed 

 portion of coal. Pocahontas coal, being 

 one of the bituminous varieties, produces 

 soot containing a large per cent of char- 

 coal and salts of ammonia, a smaller per 

 cent of salts of potash and soda, oxide 

 of iron, silica, aluminum and sulphate of 

 lime, and a very small per cent of car- 

 bonate of magnesia. As all these ele- 

 ments are essential to the upbuilding of 

 plants, soot is therefore a good fertilizer. 



Care, however, is required to apply it 

 in the proportion necessary to the differ- 

 ent classes of soil and also to the differ- 

 ent kinds of crops, else great damage 

 may occur. It must never be applied to 

 plants in a state of rest. Ribes.
