nitrogen. The phosphate Of
lime of bones consist mostly Of
n part OF phosphoric acid unit
ed with three pats Of lime,*
which, being in5olUb,e IN water.
is not available t. plants. But
this pho>phoric acid IS the most
valuable OF constituent Of bo..es,
and to MAKE it available III the
cheapest manner is he one PROB
lem Of both manufacturer and
tanner. The manufacturer does
this by treating one hundred
pounds of finely crushed bones
with about fifty pounds OF SUI
phuric acid. This acid com
Dimes chemically with a portion
OF the lime of the phosphate,
leaving the phosphoric acid
united in the proportion OF one
part, to one and two parts OF
lime. either of which is avalla-
bic to plants. Now, it IS found
that when bones-not treated
with acid-are reduced to a fine
powder, they are more available
as plant-food than when IN
coarse lamps; and the finer
they are the better and quicker
acting fertiliser they make. 1t
a fertiliser, nearly or quite as
valuable as the commercial ar
ticle, can be made at home,
without acid, it is certainly de-
sirable.
HOW SHALL IT BE DONE!
By putting bones, coarse or
fine, even whole ones, INTO a
compost heap Of stable manure
or muck, the decomposlng action
Of the organic matter will work
upon the bones, and in three to
SIX mouths time thoroughly re-
duce them to a fine mechanical
condition. The acids set free IN
the decomposition also act III a
manner similar manner to the
sulphuric acid Of the manut G
turer-uniting with a portion OF
the lime, ana thus bringing the
the phosphoric acid into a more
available form, as well as con
verting the organic proportion
of the bone-or rather the nitro
gen-into the proper condition
for plant food. The operation as
successfully practised by the
writer, and others is to take al
the bones obtainable, or it Is
thought best to use, either
whole orgroun1, and place them
in layers with three or four
times as much stable manure
first a layer of manure, thenone
Of bone, and 50 on. The
whole is thoroughly mixed by
shoveling, covered with a few
inches OF fine loan to absorb
any ammonia that may possibly
be set free, and molstened occa-
sionally with water, or best with
liquid manure. In from SIX
weeks to six months and excel
lent iertiliser will result, similar
in all essential particulars to
commercial superphosphate,
with the addition Of the dung,
and may be used with like Ct
feet, and on the same crops
reckoning, Of course on the
quantity Of bone put in the COM
bination, not on the amount Of
the compost itself. The time
occupied by the operation de-
ponds on the fineness of the
material used-ranging from
"ground bone" to whole skeleton
of an OK or horse-and on the
care taken in its management.
The heap should be forked over
often enough to prevent undue
heating Or "fre-tanging," While
the moistening keeps up a rapid
decomposition. The cost of TIL
will be the price paid for the
bones, if anything, added to the
labour, in all, not more than one
half or two-thirds the cost of the
the purchased superphosphates.
And IN the homemade product
We have the surety of a pure ar
