tho hard bones can be thrown out TO be

Some recommend sutphuric acid, but
10 soften large bones vita this material
Is not practicable, and those who rec.
ommend il are mere theorists. Bone
that is ground may be reduced with
acid and made soluble, but even this Ii
a work that requires practice and skill
TO do il In n satisfactory manner. The
common farmer would fail much ofteuef
than he would succeed, and would
sometimes get a sticky material that
would be but little II any better than
the raw bone.
The simplest and cheapcst way 10 re.
duce bones 10 make them available for
plant food Is TO burn them; but to do
this is n great loss Of valuable plan,
food, rs Il consumes all of the nitro.
gen; vet the ashes Is very rich in phos.

also contains sixteen per cent. of car.
Tomato of lime, two or three per cent. of
phosphate OF mapnesia. sod, and no.

dispnsable to vegetable growth. This
process OF burning bones Is so simpls
that some contend that when only small
quantities arc 10 be reduced Il Il IA,
Best way, oven though the nitrogen be

very poor policy for the farmer 10 sell
the bones from the larnk In fact. when
he can buy NJ less than a cent a pound

but, rs this Is a wasteful process. The
ashes shoull be resorted 10 when thew
can be readily obtained. In some nor.
tons OF the State small establish me-, r.
have been erected TO steam and grind
bones. lBy extracting tho grease and
gelatin tho bones arc easily ground:
this leaves in the bone about onc.hali
Of the nitrogen; the other half may be
saved by composing tho liquid with
dry muck. Some OF the owners of
these mills arc willing 10 steam and
grind bones for a fair consideration.
When such mills can be found within A
reasonable distance, this is the hes,
way to get a small, or even a large. loi
Of bones. worked up into plant food.
The time will probably come when
theso small mills will ba fonnd all ovs,
