Joki, taloollinen osti luujauhoja. Mutta torpparit ei niitä juuri pystyny ostama. Mutta luujauho soli ensimmäinen apulanta mitä minä muistaj jot on käytetty. Approximate English translation: How did people farm the land when you were still such a small boy? Well, there wasn't much of fertiliser to speak of at the time. Houseowners could buy bone powder. But farm workers could hardly ever buy any. But bone powder was the first kind of fertiliser I remember was used.
