To- Dissolve Bones For Fertilizer.

Farm and Ranch. in answer TO the
inquiry as to the best method Of dis
solving bones for farm fertilizers. says:
Without expensive machinery sui
phuric acid cannot be used to dissolve
bones and prepare them as fertilizer
for farm crops. Instead Of this, sub
Btitute unbleached ashes and dissolve
bones almost entirely in the following
manner: Put down Il layer OF bones
six inches thick in circular form.
Cover these with strong wood ashes
six inches deep and on this another
layer Of bones until depth OF three
or four feet has been reached. Keep
this pile thoroughly moist for some
six or eight weeks. and at the end of
this time the ashes will have dissolved

New MIX Process.

A new French process of sterllizing
milk-the fat of the milk is thoroughly
broken up after heating, thus avoiding
the lump!ness Of the cream. which
consumers have found so Objectionable.
1t is said that when cream Is treated
by this machine 1t is rendered quite
homogeneous, and the fact that the fat
globules are broken up makes the
cream look thicker and become more
uniform. When milk and cream are
treated by homogenizng machine
they mix more thoroughly with tea
and coffee. Having seen the advan-
tages of the process. some of the lar
gest dairy companies in London have
ordered machines.

Profitable Chicken Feeding.

Many careful tests in chicken feed
are as cheaply and more easily made
when the chickens, in lots not to ex
Geed 100, are put In house with n
floor space of 75 to 100 feet and a
yard of corresponding size as when
they are divided into lots Of four birds
each and confined in latticed coops
Just large enough to hold them. Four
weeks have been about thelimit of prof
liable feeding, both in the large and
small lots. Chickens gain faster while
young. Birds from $50 to 10 days old
give comparatively small gains.

Lime For Fowls.

The best way to give lime to fowls
is in the form of bones, either fresh or
finely broken or burned and in ash.
Then the lime will be digcsted easily
and supply the needs of the fowls
healthfully. And, as all animals that
reed on vegetable food need salt TO
refresh the gastric auid and restore
the wastes of the body this is the
best and most safely given in small
quantities with the food every day.
Salt in excess is n most acrid poison.
