 FERTILIZERS. 1004. 
 
 Ottawa, July 1'), 1904. 
 
 W. J. GeKALI), Esq., 
 
 Dfputy Minister of Inland Revenue. 
 
 Sir, — I submit herewith a tabulated statement, marke<l Table I., containin;; a des- 
 eription cif 111 standard samples of agrieultural fertilizers, whicli were sent into the 
 Department of Inland Revenue by their manufacturers, importers or vendors, in accord- 
 ance witii the provisions of the Fertilizers Act, 1><90, and as representing,' the ginxis 
 which it was propone<l to offer for sale in Can.ida during the year 1904. The number 
 of such samples is 111, and shows a diminution compan-d with tlie previous year when 
 12H «-ere sulnnitted. 
 
 Table I. gives the design.-.ions of the various brands (f fertilizers, the name.s of 
 the manufacturers or importers, the claims made as reganis their contents in fertilizing 
 ingnxlients, and tiie actual percentage.s of these found in the standard samples on 
 analysis in this laboratory. The guaranteed contents are given in the upper line, and 
 the analytical results in the second line placed opposite tiie designation of the fertilizer. 
 In many cases the claims made are imj)erfect and indefinite, and in some, the require- 
 ments (^f tne Act calling for a certificate of analysis, and a statement of the niat«rials 
 usL'd in the manufacture of the fertilizer have been neglecte<l. With regard to indeii- 
 nit« • lims it may l)e stated that these are often made by manufacturers of repute, 
 when, tor instance, a particular sample is described as containing 'from 2-5 to 3-0 p.c. 
 of ammonia,' or 'from 8 to 9 p.c. of available phrisphoric acid,' or 'from 9'5 to 11 p.c. of 
 potash.' In such instances if an ingretlient is found deficient in the sample sold in the 
 open market, and it is challenged, the manufacturer sometimes defends himself by main- 
 taining that his guarantee does not extend above the lowest of the figures mentioned. 
 For this reason the 'guaranteed contents' of a fertilizer, as stated in Table I, must be 
 underst<wd to indicate only the lowest percentage given on the manufacturer's label, or 
 in his correspondence with the department.

 MEMORANDA ON MANURES. 
 
 Since this publipation is intended for cireulatiun anions our farmers, it has been 
 thought advisable to tuke advantage of its issue by reprinting some <»f the notes which 
 have apjH-ared in former bulletins, and adding a few additional particulars from works 
 which have recently appeared, regarding the application of natural manures and arti- 
 ficial fertilizers. 
 
 It is about fifty years since Stoeckl.ardt, at t' it time professor in the agricultural 
 school of Tharandt, Saxony, said that a fanner w.,<) lx)ught guano, bonemeal, or other 
 artificial fertilizers, and at the same time neglected to make proper use of the dung of 
 the cattle on his own farm, must be reganle<) as an agricultural s[)endthrift. Every 
 intelligent fanner in Canada will in these uuHlern days agree with the old German pro- 
 fessor, tind maintain that the treasury of the farm is the dungstead, and that leakt; and 
 emanations from it of valuable fertilizing constituents must lead to financial embarrass- 
 ment and possibly ruin. 
 
 This statement may be juMtively made without in the slightest degree detracting 
 from the merits of artificial I'rrtilizers, for when projierly .selectefl and applied, their 
 value l)ecomes abuntlantly evident. The questiim as to whether their use is remunera- 
 tive has been fretpiently discussed, and depends to a large extent on the care employed 
 in their selection. Supposing that the intelligent fanner has consi(lere<J composition, 
 cost, .Vc, to the Ijest of his ability, nmde his selection and ai>plie<l the fertilizer, he may 
 still be in doubt as regards the result unless he t^ikes steps to make a manure trial with 
 it. As regards the liest way of doing this, Hellriegel, in a publicaticm, dated 1807, has 
 related his experience. He rw-ognizes how ditficult it is for practical agriculturists, fully 
 Ofcupieil with their regular work, and engaged in meeting all th' difficulties caused by 
 workmen, weather and market ratfls, to carry out regularly planned manure exjieriments. 
 He therefore describes a methisl, which exi>erience in his estimation had justified, and 
 
 rw nuends it for the pur|)ose «>f ascertaining whether any application of lime, marl, 
 
 dung or fertilizers had really produced the improvement which from the point of view 
 of cost had Ijeen expected. Tliis plan is lo pa.ss over, at one or several places, properly 
 selected, a few si)uare r.wls of the field without applying the dung or fertilizer. In this 
 way unmanurcd plots, which do not require to be measured with great exactitude, but 
 merely }iace<l, and do not need to Ik- harvested separately, are left in the manured field 
 by means of which any improvement in the latter may be remarked and valued. 
 
 This plan exacts that it should be [lossible to xee a distinct difference between the 
 unmanured plots and the manure<l field, not only as regards the height and density of 
 the resulting crop, but also in reference to tlie fullness of the ears and the development 
 of the grains. In the event of such a distinct difference being invisible the manure is 
 justly discredited as unfit for its intended purpose. It would seem advisable to recom- 
 mend this plan to farmers who use fertilizers, because some of them may manure the 
 whole field, fail t*> see any improvement on account of being unable to make compari- 
 sons, and perhaps condemn the fertilizer unjustly. The simplicity of the plan above 
 descrilx'd, and its applicability everywhere and every year would appear to commend it 
 to the practical agriculturist. At the same time it is nece-ssary to remark that there 
 are instances on reconl of fertilizers having lieen applied and remaining utterly without 
 effect owing to some defect in the soil. Such defects have often been cured by a pre- 
 vious application of marl or lime, which not <inly produced goo«l efl'ects them.selves, but 
 improvetl also the action of the ferti'izers afterwards applied. 
 
 THE CARE OF NITK0<JEN. 
 
 This element is the most valuable of fertilizing constituents, and one which is ex- 
 ceedingly liable to lo.ss. 
 
 In many of th'» f«rti!i>:er= described in this and foniu.-r rcport.s their cost is very 
 much increa.sed by the admixture of nitrogenous constituents. This cost farmers might 
 save by properly caring for the stock of nitrogen on their farms, and this stock might 
 even be increase*] by cultivating those crops which have the power of appropriating the 
 
29 
 
 nitrogen of the atmosphere. Nevertheless the fertilizer manufacturers still seem to Ije

 ro<it'e<l in, and the troadin;; down of their contents by the farm aiiimaU is to !»• i-ecom- 
 mended. 
 
 In a recent bulletin ( No. <;.t) of the Pennsylvania State t'olle«e Agricultural Experi- 
 ment station ( I IKl.i) some imi>ortant e.xiieriments on steer feeding are ilescrilM"d which 
 confirm some of thi' foretroin;; lesults. The following <|Uotatioiis are of interest :— • The 
 tramiilcd manure sutl'ured little h)ss of fertilizing constituents, though less than two- 
 fifths of the dry matter bf food and litter was r'covered in the manure.' 'The 
 untrampled manure sutVered more extensive losses of organic matti^r and nitrogen than 
 the trampled manure, owing ehielly to the more complete exclusion of air in the latter 
 case. ' 
 
 One thing in connection with this i|uesti(.n is |>erfectly lertain and that is that 
 the use of gypsum, or ordinary -.'round land plastei-, prevents" any loss of nitrogen in the 
 stable, and while the manure is l)eing forwartled to the dungheap. Further if the work 
 frian which the foregoing i|Uotati(iiis have lieen nuide be carefully studied, and also the 
 exi>eriincnts ami writings of Hold.-tleiss, Vogel and others, it appears to be quite certain 
 that the use of the same article, or the gypsum priMluced in the manufacture of 'acid- 
 phosphate,' c impletely prevents the loss of ammonia from the li(|uid part of the manure, 
 and also from the orgai ic nitrogen of the solids, provide<l the whole has, previous to 
 fermentation, been made thoroughly co!ni>act, and atmospheric air almost c rapletely 
 exdudeil. Where it is found imp ssible to attend to tlie latter precauti(ms, the safest 
 way will probably be found to lie in avoiding fermentation altogether, by conveying the 
 fresh manure, after treatment with g.psum, <m the field to lie manured and bringing 
 it uniler the soil as rapidly as |M)ssible. The latter practi-e has been proved to be 
 most advanUigeous h\- the e.-.peiiments which have lieen carried on for some time past, 
 at t e Central Experimental Farm by I)ire<;tor Saunders. (See Reports for 1898.) 
 
 .Vot only has the addition of substances which have the faculty of fixing ammonia 
 l)een recommended for stable manure, but its improvement to a greater extent lies been 
 proposed by the addition of fertilizers. The following quotation is taken from Bulletin 
 Xo. +:> (for March, l8!)7)of the Massachusetts Agricultural College, and was written by 
 Dr. C. A. Goessmann, Chemist for that institution : —

 addition of ])otash in the form of muriate or sulphate ..f i>otesh, ir of phosphoric acid 
 in the form of fine ground South Carolina or Florida soft phosphate, &c., will in niany 
 instances not only impnixe their general fitness as complete manure, but quite frequently 
 permit a material reduction in the amount of barn-yard manure ordinarily considered 
 sutficient to secure s itisfactorv results.'

 • The average barn-yar.l manure contains, it will be noticed from the above s'ate- 
 inent, a larger percentage of nitr..gen, as compared with iU potash and phosphoric acid 
 than IS generally considered economical. An addition of from thirty to forty pounds of 
 mur.ate of jKitash, and of one hundred pounds of fine ground natural phosphate (soft

 value as an efiicient and economical general fertilizer.'

 ^'f only can the farmer save almost the whole of the nitrogen contained in the 
 f« der ted to his cattle but he en actually increase the st.K^^k of it stored awav in his 
 helds, agricultural pnKjucts and manure heaps, by a judicious course of crop rotation. 
 I'or more than a century agricultural chemists have discussed the ..uestion as to whether 
 r!Xl\r°"''/!r'.'"'V."«"';^''" ^ •"■""■"I'^ted by plants, but it may now be i-egarded as 
 perfectly settle*! in the athrmative, if i^ganl is had only to the plants of the or,ler 
 leguminosae, such as l^ns, pease, lentils, vetches, clovers," alfalfa, scrradella, A-c. Even 
 the great English agriculturiste. Sir J. B. I^wes and Sir Henry Gilbert, who had 
 previously been of an opposite opinion, have now admittei that this appropriation of 
 nitrogen has Ijeen completely proved. This acknowledgment was made bv Sir Henry 
 t.ilbert, at a great meeting of agricultural chemists held at Halle, in "Germany, in 
 September, 1891. Ihus, mo<lern research has confirmed not only modern agricultural 
 practice, bnt a so the experience of ant:(,uity, for Pnrf. W. Str^-ker has pointed out 
 a passage m Pliny which says : 'Lupines re,,uire so little manure that they, in fact, 
 replace it ; vetches make the land more fertile. Corn should Ije sown where "previously 
 lupines or yetches have stood, because they enrich the lan<l.' 
 
 It is not, however, to be supposed thit this utiliiation of atmospheric nitrosjen by 
 leguminous plants can take place upon very jKHir soils or upon th.«e destitute of the 
 inorganic constituents which they re,|uire. The Iatt«.r must in such ca^es Ik- sui.plied 
 in the sliar.eot potash with some ph<«iph«ric acid, as was done with great success by 
 achultz, of Lupitz, a practical agriculturist in North Germany. In fact, had it not U«n 
 for his investigations, the controversy above referred to might have continued without 
 results up to the present hour. 
 
 Professor Kanig. of Muonster, gives the following summary of .Schultz's 
 experience : — o j ^ >» 
 
 lA j'^^^H"' *'''I"'T *''* ^*''" '""P'*=' '" **>« )'«»■• 1«55 : its soil consisted of a poor, 
 cold diluvm sand ; the proht in working it was very small. Lupines yielded, indeed 
 as a fodder tolerable results, but when used as green manuring for rj-e and oats, no 
 return was obtained from them. The application of artificial manures produced good 
 crops, but thev did not pay; burnt lime showed itself to be too heating. The uae of 
 manure was more favourable, especially when fertUizers containing phosphoric acid were 
 used at the same time. But at the beat the total result was not satisfactory. 
 «..H '»! /VLo !!." ^1''"'*'^ acquired Lupitz, the great discovery of potash salts was made, 
 and about 860 they began to l)e pro iuced from the mines of Stassfurth. Schultz made 
 up hiM mind to try them as manure and he obtained the most surprising results. After 
 lupines had shown the i.selves to be useless as forerunneis of grain, they were excluded 
 from the roUtion and grown on a separate field without any manuring'and alternatian 
 with sheep pasture. But the harvest on these became worse and worse until the field 
 in question became quite lupine "sick." Schultz made his first trial on this field 
 manuimg it with 300 pounds kainite per morgen(I Prussian morgen = 0-631 acre); the 
 sickness was at once cured, and for twenty-five years afterwards Schultz grew lupines 
 on this ground without interruption, always with the application of 300 pounda 
 kainite. Schultz obUined similar good resulta on the ground which had recei%^ the 
 marl, by the appliwUion of potash salts. This ground had indeed yielded ^ell with 
 m^nes for two years after the application of the marl, but in the third year . -,y sick- 
 ened here too. When, however, 300 pounds kainite were applied here and plou^f.cd in» 
 
.'12 
 
 the Kr..un.l was curt-cl, altliougli nil application of phixtphates hwi net protiuce*! the 
 demred reMult.i. 
 
 'The fftvouiiiblf inlliipiice which the manuring with kninit« or |M>t«Mh mIU had 
 excrtcl on lupines imiucwl Sihultz to trj- them on grain, in conjunction with ph<«pliatp«. 
 But III this cHw he ohtainwl contra<Jict4.ry results, acconling to the naturt> of the crops 
 w.iich pr«e<l.il the j{iaiii. For instance while jfiain sowe.1 after lupines and manurMJ 
 with [M.tash and phosphates yield very gcxnl and remunerative l.arvestH, these were not 
 to 1>,' ohtHin.sl if grain was grown after grain or after potati^s. This Miaviour of these 
 crops w,;s »xplaine<l by S.hultz in this way : that lupines or deep-root«d planU leave in 
 the soil after harvest a residue of root, in which a considerable amount of nitrogen has 
 
 accumulated, an a uiit sufticient to supply the wants of the following grain crotw ; that, 
 
 on the other hand, the application of poUsh and jihosphates, t4. grain, after a preceding 
 «rruiii crop, is without ertect. for the reason that the latter has consume.! the stock of 
 nitroitcn. Oram crops always r.Hluc<j this st.K^^k : never increase it. Schultz has given 
 the name of " nitrog..n collectors " to the lupines and similar plants, while grains are 
 called '• nitrogen consumers." His system of rotation is therefore the following -S«iw 
 first nitrogen collectors (lupines, jn-ase, lieans, vetches, clover, lucerne, s..rradella, Ac), 
 or, as they have Un-n caliwl, renov-iting crops, and give them 300 pounds kainite per 
 morgen, with jM-rhaps an additirn of 20 pounds phosphoric acia. After harvesting the 
 nitro-en collectoi's, sow a nitrogen cimsumer, raising a grain or exhausting crop, giving 
 It also .100 pounds kainite and 20 pounds phosphoric acid. The grain crop is perfectly 
 successful, because the first crop left liehind it nitrogen enough to supply the wants o'f 
 the grain. In this wav the keeping of stock, which is expensive on a poor sandy soil, 
 can \te reduced and the purchase of nitrogenous fertilizers dispensed with, becautw the 
 iitrogen collectors are able to stoc-k the soil with that valuable element.' 
 
 The foregoing description is taken from Professor Konig's ' 8tickstoff Vorrath,' 
 publishetl in \m (Paul Parey, Berlin). It was in 18M4, nearly thirty years after the 
 purchase of his sandy farm, that Hchultz, of Lupitz, publish-Kl the results of his 
 «xpenence, although they did not contain anvthing ver\- new and although thev only 
 conhrrae<l experiences still older than his own. But his case was surprising knd his 
 explanition of the cause of his successful farming challenged the att^-ntion of scientific 
 agriculturists. Ihe consequence has lieen the issue of many pamphlets on the subject 
 and an activity in the region of agricultural experimenting which is not yet ended 
 Atwttter, Wagner, Hei.len, Hellriegel and many others have participated in thes* 
 investigations, aiv: P.-ofessor Wood, of the .Storrs Agricultural School in Connecticut, 
 has given the following general conclusions as the result of the work :— 
 
 1. ' Pease, alfalfa, serradella, lupine, clover in all probability, and apparently 
 leguminous plants in general, are able to ac<|uire large quantities of nitrotten from the 
 air during their periu<l of growth. 
 
 •>. 'Thei« is scarcely room to doubt that the free nitrogen of the air is thus 
 acquirefi by plants. 
 
 3. ' That there is a >;onnection between root tubercles and this acquisition of nitro- 
 gen is cleariy demonstrated. What this connection is, what are the relations of micro- 
 organisms to the root tubercles and the acquisition of nitrogen, and in general how the 
 nitrogen IS obtami>d are ([uestions still to be solved. 
 
 4. • The cereals with which the experiments have been complete<lhave not manifeste.] 
 this power of acquiring nitrogen, nor do they have such tubercles as are found on the 
 roots ot legumes. 
 
 •5. ' In the experiments here rejioi ted, the addition of soil infusions did not s?em 
 necessary for the production of root tubercles. A plausible supposition is that the 
 iiiicro-„rganisms or their spores were floating in the air and were deposited in the pots 
 in which the plants grew. ^ 
 
 6. ' A- rule the Rreater the abundance of ro<it t.nb^rc),>= in these experimcut.s, the 
 Eir"" """"* ^•K"''<^"s «ere the plants and the greater was the gain of nitrogep from

 was a loss of nitrogen instead of gain. The los.s occurred where there were no root 
 tubercules ; it was especially large with oat plants, and largest where they had the most 
 nitrogen at their disposal in the form of nitrates. As the gain of nitrogen by the
