HOME FERTILIZER MAKING
DESCRIBED BY CHEMIST

At "hog-killing time," and at an.
other time when animals are killeC
for meat on the farms of the United
States. there is usually a waste o
the inedible offal which has value
for fertilizer. Only too often this is
allowed to become not only a waste
but a danger to sanitation. G. P
Walton, of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, estimates that
in year this offal amounts to a
third of a million tons. For dispos-
al of this waste and for realization
of its fertilizing value, Mr.. Walton
makes the following suggestions,
the result of experimental work in
the department:
"Open-kettle rendering of offal
and cooking of the shed blood is or
dinarily feasible on the farm. A
65-gallon caldron or open-kettle
cooker with stove complete can be
purchased for $40 or $z2 f. O. b. fac
tories in Michigan and Ohio By
boiling the fresh offal for several
nours wei "tanKage" that is SAFER
than the raw offal for direct feeding
10 nOss may be oDualned, anu also
considerable grease of some COM
mercial value. The bulk of the
manure can be eliminated bv chor-
ping up the offal and sluicing it
with water The DiOou recovered
from the slaughtering can be cook
ed with the offal.
1T has been found feasible to
prepare air-dry fertilizer material
from the wet "tankage", and even
from the hashed raw offal, by mix
ing 1t with simple preserving agents
ana allowing it to dry in the air
under shelter Freshly crushed
qulcklime gives fair results as
preservative to use during winter.
A mixture of quicklime and the
west tankage which is produced by
open-kettle rendering of sleeps Of
fal, will dry during the winter to
an 1notfensive product that may be
easily ground to a meal One pound
OF quicklime may be used for every
10 pounds of tankage In these tests
the air-dry product contained 6 per
cent of ammonia and 11.2 per cent
of bone phosphate.
Ordinary commercial superphos-
phate gives the most promising re-
suits OF any of the preservatives
tested. A mixture of moist tankage
made from hogs offal, with 1 lb.
Of 10 per cent superphosphate (acid |
to every lbs. of the

ne mixture was spread out in a
shallow box and raked over fire.

With acid phosphate it is advisable
o use more of the preservative
about 4 pounds for every 10
pounds of the hashed offal or blood)
ND to include some nonalkaline
bsorbent material, such as drv
nan, peat, or gypsum, to keep the
ompost from becoming liquid. BY
nsurlng sufficiently high acidity,
utrefaction and the breeding of
les may be avoided.
This composing process may
lso prove useful in rural districts

erlaI into material that can be
