PREPARATION OF BONES FOR USE

EDS. COUNTRY GENTLEMAN In vour naner
of Nov. IA, you ask for Il practical and mex.
pensive method of preparing bones for use |
will give you my way, which is so simpl, that.
although | have practiced ii for years, should
not have thought of parading it in your columns.
but for your inquiry, and also because our
friend HOWARD, of the Cultirotor, who notices
and remembers everything practical and useful,
commended it in his last weeks paper. set
an old cask, with one head. in some convenient
spot back Of the house, in the spring, and of
the bones which have accumulated through the
winter, | throw in enough to cover the bottom ;
then enough of unleached ashes thoroughly to
cover them then another layer of bones then
ashes, and so in alternate layers until the cask
is full. On top is placed sufficient covering
of ashes, loan or charcoal dust, to prevent the
escape of any gas. | usually wet down the
ashes as proceed, and leave the cask exposed
to the weather, that they may be kept damp
BY the next spring, when wish to use them,
the bones are thoroughly digestsd, and in fit
condition to use.
BY this management ! preserve all the ma
terial OF the bones, and it stands to reason that
they must be more valuable than those from
which the animal matter has been extracted by
the soap boilers, and which are then burnt for
the sugar refneries, and then made into super
phosphate.
! usually take the mixed bones and ashes,
and compost with well rotted manure, liberal

Farmer wants to know to grow two year old
colt to its utmost size. l have three year-old
colt, of the Black Hawk breed, that weighed at
81 months old 1925 pounds. He is said by
good judges to be good model of the original
Black Hawk, formerly owned by David Hill, oil
Bridport VT, both in form and action, except
the colt is about 10 pounds the largest. The
feed | gave him last winter was as follows all
the hay he would eat, (Which was of the best
Timothy and red clover) four quarts of boiled
potatoes, together with from one to two quarts
of oat meal per day, and all the salt he would
eat. keep him in box STALL without floor
His color is perfect black, except one white
foot and white spot in the forehead; is vel
broke to harness, is perfectly kind, and it would
do any man. woman or child good to get into q
sleigh or buggy and ride after him one mile
for it would give their blood a good circula
