Excerpt from Agricultural Pamphlets: 1850-1862 For the determination of ash about 10 grains were burned in a platina capsule. The ash was coloured red by oxide of iron. The proportion of sulphur was ascertained by introducing, into a red-hot crucible, a mixture of anthracite with carbonate of soda and nitre, in small quantities at a time, and heating the whole afterwards a little more strongly. The resulting fused and perfectly white mass was dissolved in water, super saturated with hydrochloric acid, and the sulphuric acid then precipitated with chloride of barium.
