Its proportion varies, of course, according to the nature of thepasture on which the sheep are fed, the climate, etc. Wool from BuenosAyres, for example, contains much less than that analyzed by M. Chevreul; its amount is only 12 per cent. Of the weight of the raw wool. This _suint_ contains always about 52 per cent. Of residue when ignited. The composition of this residue is: Per cent. Carbonate of potash 86. 78 C...hloride of potassium 6. 18 Sulphate of potash 2. 83 Silica, alumina, etc. 4. 21 ------ 100. 00 In 1859, MM. Maumene and Rogelet patented the use of the water inwhich wool has been washed as a source of potash, and at present theextraction of potash from _suint_ is practiced in France on a largescale.
