Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By WhiskersTheCat: I have been watching a Corvid war this morning. It's crows vs blue jays. It's pretty crazy, I'm not sure why they're fighting because I thought all eggs would be hatched. But it's definitely taking place near the blue jay nest. The crows are larger so the blue jays are splitting into groups of two to defend That’s awesome. We just have Robins protecting their nests with the babies born about 10 days ago. |

According to Encyclopedia Britannica, "In 1346 Edward III ordered all the saltpeter and sulfur that could be found to be bought up for him, but the quantities obtained were very small". Some deposits were known in North Africa, but the usual method of collecting it in Europe was by leaching it from urine-soaked ground in stables, a very manpower-intensive operation. I don't know how much was obtained from a ton of soil but it wasn't a great deal, so if you reckon it cost about a week's wages a pound, that's probably an underestimate. Saltpeter "farms" were set up with heaps of shit, rotting food and dead animals, well wetted down with urine, which rotted down for about a year to produce a worthwhile amount. You wouldn't want to live in the neighborhood. It could also be obtained from deposits of bat guano in caves, but such caves were rare and very valuable. In 1626 the British East India Company discovered large deposits in India and by 1693 it was written into their charter to furnish 500 tons a year to the Crown. Since powder manufacture was a government monopoly nearly everywhere, it's difficult to put a monetary value on it, but the India trade probably made British powder the cheapest in the world, whereas other countries were still obliged to make it the hard way.
The cartoon below is from Boston, 1775, a commentary on how the American colonies could make enough saltpeter to make powder to fight the British.  |
