ful. ltwould improve the mixture, how.
ever, to add to the ashes about a peck OF
good, newly Stacked lime, which would
bring the potash Of the ashes to more
caustic state and enable it more speedily
to soften and dissolve the bones, which,
when lime Is thus used, need not be nee.
essary in the absence of quicklilne.
With its use in this way, and with suf-
hciency of good unlcached wood ashes,
the bones, which have merely been crack
ed up with the hammer, may easily be
softencd.
Take one barrel of pure, finely ground
bone' ami mix with it a barrel, of good
wood ashes; during the mixing, add grad
ually three pailfuls of water. The heap
may be made upon the floor of an out
building or upon the barn.foor; and, by
the use Of the hoe, the bone and ashes
must be thoroughly blended together.
The water added is just sufficient to liber.
ate the caustc alkalics, potash and soda;
and these react upon the gelatine of the
bone, dissolving the little atoms, forming
a kind of soap, and fitting it for plant ali.
ment. 1t must be used In small quantities.
or In about the same way as the so-caIled
superphosphates. A barrel of this mix
ture Is worth two Of any of the CONNER
cial fer tiizers, and the cost will be about
half as mnch. If the bone-mcal and ashes
are very dry, four pailfuls of water MAJ
required, but care must be exercised not
TO have 1t inconveniently moist. 1t may
be ready for use in week after il is
made. Pure, raw, finely ground bone
and the best ashes should be employed -
