QUALITY OF
FERTILIZERS FROM
MUNICIPAL WASTE

Washington, March A survey
Of the nations resources in fertilizer
materials has drawn attention to the
large supply of these TO be found in the
accumulation of garbage in cities.
Ihls waste material contains nitrogen.
phosphoric acid, and potash. which are
recognized as essential to the produc-
ton of large crops. Valuable as these
clements are to the farms of the coun-
try. the garbage in which they arc
found is a source of trouble and ex-
pense TO the cities Ii seems. there
fore. that his garbage can be disposed
OF most advantageously by returning
it to the soil in the form Of fertilizer.
In cities Of 10000 people or more
the reduction Of garbage by methods
which furnish a residue fit for fertil-
lzer use has proved 10 be a profitable
municipal enterprise. and in smaller
communities it might we'll be self
sustaining. Numerous analyses of
raw garbage show that. on the aver
age. grease constitutes 50 per cent;
and of the fertilizer ingredients potash
% per cent: bone phosphate. per
cent: and nitrogen in the form of am
value of ton of raw garbage is about
50, the grease being worth SO and the
fertilizer ingredients about s..
Since the grease Is Of more value
than the fertilizer. the reduction proc
eSs is primarily designed to recover
the grease. There are three principal
methods of doing this. The garbage
is cooked and steamed and then
pressed dry and decreased in gasoline
Or. the garbage is dried directly ir

creased in gasoline: or it is dried ami

AS raw garbage contains 20 per
cent. water and 80 per cent. grease
fertilizer should he about % per cent
Thus, tons of raw garbage should
he made to yield one ton of dried
tankage and 81. worth of grease. In
the retail market the dried tankaga
sells for about $40 a ton and at whole
sale for $50 There has been no
great fluctuation in these prices for
some time. In actual practice. how
ever. the percentage of tankase OBJ
tanned is not usually % per cent.
At present. however. only six cities
in the United states operate their own
reduction plants. and about 20 send
their garbage to privately owned
plants. These produce in the course of
a year 10000 tons of tankage, or fer
tilizer made from 1,045 900 tons Of raw
garbage If all of the 1919 cities in the
United States which have population
of $4,000 or over should adopt this
method of garbage disposal. the total
yield should be from 637,500 tons to
300 tons of fertilizer per year. This
would he worth from s4.7S0.000 to
100000. Additional, fertilizer ma
teral could also be obtained in the
cities from dead animals street sweep
ings. and stable manure.
This subject. specialists in the I.
s. Department Of Agriculture believe.
merits careful consideration. because
it will be Of advantage both to the
American farmer and to the cities
from which he obtains his fertilizer.

ing a temperature from g. to 20 degrees
+ is best. Fersh cream should not be
added for Il hours before churning as it
will not churn out SO thoroughly. The
churnng temperature is affected by sea-
son of the year; kind of feed given the
cows. lactation period, condition of
cream, and temperature of churning
room.
If butter is to be colored a desirable
commercial butter color can be secured
from any dairy supply house. Add this
according to market but usually about .
OF. to 100 pounds of butter fat. Color
should be added to cream in churn just
before starting to churn.
The churn will always do it's best work
when less than half full. The proper
speed will depend upon size of churn and
condition of the cream. The length of
time necessary will vary but ranging
from IL to 80 minutes.
Often in fall or early winter farmers
experience difficult churnngs which are
frequently caused by condition Of cream
from cow far advanced in lactation Pc
Rod, at which time the fat globules be-
come smaller and harder, making it diff.
cult to collect them into a mass Of but
ter. Such difficulties can usually be
overcome by ripening cream to higher
acidity. churning at higher tempera-
ture, and separating thicker cream.
The churn should be stopped when the
granules are about the size of wheat
grain or split pea. When granules reach
this size buttermilk is drawn off, allow
TO drain well, then wash with water at a
temperature nearly the same as that of
buttermilk or l to 2 degrees colder, add
ing about same amount as there was but
termilk; revolve churn 10 to Il times at
ordinary speed
Salt may be added to butter in churn
at the rate of OF. to l pound of butter or
by placing butter on table or worker
and working salt il with paddle or me-
chanical butter worker. 1t should be
worked until salt is we'll distributed and
butter is collected into firm mass
When the butter has been sufficiently
worked 1t should be printed into some de-
sirable shape and size depending upon
market and amount made at each churn-
ing. Butter should not be stored for any
ieHseH VI tlfne peIore delivery unless one
has cold storage facilities.
Temperature. care and cleanliness are
three vital factors in good ALTERNATING.
Therefore it is absolutely necessary that
maker should have few dairy Their
mometers on hand and watch the temper
allure. Be sure and use plenty Of no,
water in cleaning utensils so as to re-
al irt
utensils should be cooled with cold water
before being used. Otherwise butter will
stick to sides.

GROUND FELDSPAR NOT REC.
OmMENDED AS A FERTILIZER

Washington. March 22.-Wide pub
licity has recently been given to
statement advocating the use of ground
feldspar as a substitute for potash
salts and referring to United States
Department Of Agriculture Bulletin No
104 as authority for the proposed prac-
tice.
Bulletin No. 104. entitled The Use of
F'eldspathic Rocks as Fertilizer" was
published in 1907. This bulletin dis
cussed the use of finely ground field
spar as a possible substitute for potash
for fertilizer purposes. and was based
upon series of experiments conducted
by the Department. The results
reached were inconclusive, as the fol-
lowing quotation from the bulletin it
self will show:
"A careful reading of the foregoing
pages will show that no claim has been
made that ground feldspar is an effic
lent substitute under all circumstances
for potash salts. The question is
still open, and systematic and long
continued experimentation is the only
possible method of obtaining conclus-
i've information on the subject
AT the present stage of the investiga-
ton il would be extremely unwise for
anyone TO attempt to use ground rock
except on an experimental scale that
would not entail great financial loss.
1t is extremely unlikely that
ground rock will ever entirely displace
the use Of potash salts, for its avail
ability must inevitably depend upon
many modifying conditions, such as the
nature Of the soil. the amount of mois-
ture present. the character of the other
fertilizers used. and the varying root
action of different crops"
Investigations made since the pubi-
cation Of this bulletin have failed TO
show that ground feldspar is Of any
general value for fertilizers purposes.
