To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Baker, the author of this valuable resume connected with the brewing industry, is at present working in this direction, and has obtained encouraging results. His modus operandi is to treat pressed yeast with small quantities of sulphuric acid, heating the liquefied mass for a short time to 212 Fahr. And then nearly, but not completely, neutralizing with carbonate of lime or a mixture of carbonate of lime and carbonate of potash. A copious evolution of carbonic acid occurs, rendering the mass ve...ry porous and spongy. In this state it can be dried with ease and readily powdered. The cost of treatment is small, and there are no difficulties arising from the disengagement of malodorous gaseous products, as all the volatile nitrogenous constituents are fixed by the sulphuric acid. The phos- phates are also made soluble. This utilization of yeast for manurial purposes is in no sense speculative, and is a subject of vast importance to the brewing industry. A material having the composition mentioned above has a definite market value per unit of ammonia, potash, and phosphoric acid.
