Democratic Sentinel, Volume 16, Number 26, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 15 July 1892 — Potash. [ARTICLE]

Potash.

Analysis shows that while more than half the potash is lost from tan bark, but a small quantity of the phosphoric acid is lost. Tannery ashci arc worth considerably more than leached wood ashes, and are always worth hauling away; still such ashes contain considerable potash. Theoretically, it is hard to be poor; but practically, many people find It only too easy.
