This sample, it -will be noticed, contained over 10^ per 
cent, of sand and grit. The high percentage of Ammonia is 
accounted for by the presence of meat refuse. 
2. Superphosphates. 
An instance of an excellent delivery, sold at a very low 
price, is the following : — 
Moisture . . . . . . . . 15-18 
Organic matter and water of combination . . 9-42 
Monobasic phosphate of lime . . . . - 20-97 
Equal to tribasic phosphate of lime (bone 
phosphate) rendered soluble by acid . .. (32-83) 
Insoluble phosphates. . . . . . 1-19 
Sulphate of lime, alkaline salts, &c. . . . 48-50 
Insoluble siliceous matter . . . . . 4-74 
100-00 
This cost only 47s. 6c7., per ton delivei*ed, which makes the 
unit price of soluble phosphate per ton Is. 6c?. only. 
3. Compound Manures. 
Below are given the analyses of two samples, the one called 
“ Eclipse Compound Fish Manure,” the other “ Raw Blood and 
Bone Compound,” which were sold at prices much above their 
real value.
