The majority of these samples are fair representatives of refuse 

 bones from rendering establishments. They were well ground, por- 

 ous and friable, and thus in a favorable condition for speedy action. 

 Sample 49 being the waste material from another industry, consisted 

 of a uniform finely ground mass, yet was compact, gritty and hard. 

 A previous composting or an earlier application will here materially 

 assist to secure an economical return from the investment.
