USING HEN MANURE
AND ASHES IS BAD
Ohio Experiment Station Gives
Reply to Question as TO Fer
tilization Of Soil.

The Ohio experiment station has re-
ceived frequent Inquiries as 10 how TO
use ashes and hen manure to the best
advantage In fcrtilixing the soil. The
best answer the station gives to the
question Ia: Don't. Ashes are about
one-third lime. but no material con.
tanning lime. In the form In which Il IL
contained In ashes. should be mixed
with moist manure. ~ the limo will
cause the liberation ot . considerable
part Of tho nitrogen In the manure
and Il will escape ~ ammonia gas.
Ashes and dry hen manure may be
mixed Immediately before applying
the manure. ~ the ammonia will most.
ly be absorbed and held by the soil.
The proper material TO mix with man.
ure 10 acid phosphate. as this serves
70 hx the ammonia instead Of liberat.
Ing II and also rc-cnforccs the manure
with phosphorus. which IL tho element
most needed BY most soils similar to
that In Ohio. Acid phosphate sprinklcd
over tho dropping boards will reduce
the loss Of ammonia and Increase the
effectiveness Of tho manure.
A mixture OF $50 pounds dry hen
manure. 100 pounds acid phosphate
and 100 pounds unleachcd hardwood
