And no can beat a pair.

Some Compost Questions.


l. viii ground plaster fix the ammo
MIA from fermenting pile of manure?
2. Will plaster and bone meal. mixed
for six months, produce soluble phos-
phoric acid?
8. Is commercial OF German potash
salt as cheap at $4,000 per ton, as good
mleached wood ashes (oak) at - cents
per bushel?
4. Will ground coprolites even if
treated with acid decompose as, easily
or in as short time as bone meal will?
SD. p.
l. Yes, see article on Liquid Ma
nures," in January Scientific Farmer,
sub-head, chemical Precipitants.
2. No. The action of plaster is pre-
sentative, not decomposing. Instead of
plaster use ashes or lime, with half the
amount of horse manure moisten
occasionally, and scatter plaster or
loan over the top to prevent the es-
cape of the ammonia.
8. That depends on the grade of
potash salt with which the ashes is COM
pared. Sulphate of potash containing
80 per cent. of actual potash sells at
this date at 10000 per ton. Muriate of
potash, containing SO per cent. of actu-
al potash, sells at about the same price
Leached wood ashes, (dry or nearly SOY
contain, say, one per cent. Of potash
(Which is large) and about SIX per cent.
of phosphoric acid. Reckoning at this
rate, we have 20 lbs. Of potash per ton,
and l2O lbs. of phosphoric acid; or
