On all pastures which have been long fed the phosphate of lime is exhausted. It is constantly taken from the earth in the grass to form the bone, the muscle, and the milk of animals. A few bushels of bone dust will often quite restore old worn out pastures, almost every part of which bones are composed goes directly to the nourishment of vegetable life. The ashes of all grains are very rich in phosphate of lime. This shows the importance of furnishing this element for their use. A mixture of crushed bones and hard-wood ashes makes a valuable top dressing. For a full list of Fertilizers see 3rd page of cover.
