They may contain more or less of potash or phosphate of lime, according to the kind ol wood that is burned. Wood ashes are generally valued according to the amount of 'potash they contain, but some kinds of wood contain appreciable amounts of phosphate of lime, and are there ore more valuable. Pear-tree wood and trimmings of grape vines are said to contain more phosphates than woods of ot.ier fruits, and all fruit-tree woods have more phosphates than woods from forest trees. Ilurned bones have their chief value in the phosphate they con tain, hHt burned bone, unless it is dis solved by sulphuric or carbonic acid, is not available as plant food. Caustic pot ash has, however, some power to make other mineral plant food available, prob ably by its effect in making it ferment and liberating carbonic-acid gas. Leached ashes after long exiiosure to the air absorb nmmonin, and thus make them often a better fertilizer than before their potash was leached out of them. Wool-Growing and Climate. Wool ia emphatically a product of Northern climates, as cotton is of the tropics. There is especH adaptation of product to the need of the people inhab iting these reppective regions in this provision of nature for the products re spectively produced ny each. It is Im possible to grow cotton in Northern lo calities, because the season is not long enough. There is equal disability in Southern localities to produce the best Stialities of wool. Thie is shown by the euiand from Australia, a semi-tropical country, for the American Merino rams bred by Vermont and western New tork breeders. ears ago Australian woolgrow' era thought by crossing with American. bred sheep they could make their Hocks all that was needed to produce good wool. For a time thev succeeded ; but of late years a renewed demand has come for the Aieerican-bred Merinos to improve still further the native stock, which un der the influence of climate shows a constant tendency toward deterioration.
