45. Sulplmte of Ammonia. 



This article, now manufactured on a large scale as a by-prod- 

 uct of gas-works, usually contains over 20 per cent, of nitrogen, 

 the equivalent of from 94 to 97 per cent, of sulphate of ammonia. 

 The rest is chiefly moisture.

48. Nitrate of Soda. 



Nitrate of soda is mined in Chile and purified there before ship- 

 ment. It usually contains about 16 per cent, of nitrogen, equiv- 

 alent to 97 per cent, of pure nitrate of soda. It contains besides, 

 a little salt and some moisture.
