As to the fertilizing properties of the cokes or 
coals, above referred to, it w uuld be a simple way of 
testing their immense value, by using or spreading 
on on acre of common Imid about two tons or less Of 
ground cokes, or one ton or less of tbo prepared coal, 
or about two ton* or less of the prepared tine coal, 
with deep plowing, for producing a large crop of im¬ 
proved tobacco, ben/p, flux, or any other staple, or 
crop for two nr three years; or it may be spread in 
liquid form (tn quantities of 5U lbs. to tho barrel, 
wnlcli can be relllpd font or five times and retain its 
properties,) with a street sprinkling apparatus, once 
or twice a week, for two or three w eeks, for the pro¬ 
duction of two crops of hay annually. 
i nave made use of these compounds for both mak¬ 
ing and fixing dyes for goods, etc., and also in making 
cloths and all substances impervious to water, and 
In adding lu.tor, p.i.-,r ii rly.to the surface of all cloths, 
by sponging or otherwise; also for glazing, whiten¬ 
ing or coloring all porcelains, and in the manufacture 
of the above ware, stone ware, pottery, et<:., otc.
