Cultivating an Old Pasture 
I have a lot of sheep manure in the 
barn. Is it better for meadow or for 
corn (silo corn)? If for corn, should it 
be plowed under or harrowed inf 1 have 
a lot of land that has been used ns pas¬ 
ture for about 10 years, but it was culti¬ 
vated previously. Du you think I can 
raise a good crop of silo corn on it with¬ 
out using any fertilizer? It fertilizer had 
to be used, what kind would be the best, 
and how much to be used to the acre 
Equinuuk, Pa. H - R - A - 
WV should use the sheep manure on 
corn, plowing it under. You can add 
much to its value by using acid phosphate 
with it. about 50 lbs. to each good wagon 
load. We never saw an old pasture that 
gave a large crop the tirst year after plow¬ 
ing without the aid of manure or fertil¬ 
izer. Such pasture land is usually quite 
sour and full of white grubs and other 
insects. While those pasture sods are 
quite inch, the plant food is often unavail¬ 
able. A good dressing of lime will help 
them, and acid phosphate is most needed. 
As a rule, such pastures do better the 
second or third year after breaking up. 
That seems to be because the nitrogen in 
the old sod is slow to give up. Generally 
such sods have a fair supply of potash, 
since most of that is in the liquid manure.

terial? Is it possible the fat alone would 
pay expense incurred in reducing the 
"tankage” to he spread upon the ground 
either with manure or without manure? 
Chester Springs, Pa. It. q. T. 
The regular "tankage” used in fertil¬ 
izer may be made from such off til. It is 
first fully cooked, I ruler tills process the 
fat rises to the top and is skimmed off. 
It is sold for soap-making or other uses. 
Then the cooked mass is dried and 
pressed. This takes out more fat. Then 
the pressed and dry tankage is crushed or 
ground ii]t tine. The percent, of nitrogen 
and phosphorus will vary with the amount 
of bone used. Your safest way would be 
to have a fair sample analyzed. If you 
cau get any large quantity, it will pay 
to make a tank or vat with steam con¬ 
nected. and thoroughly cook this offal as 
here described. To make a good fertilizer 
some form of potash should be used with 
it. Do not attempt to use it without tak¬ 
ing out the fat.

Acetate of Lime Fertilizer 
I can get waste acetate of lime from

worth getting for fertilizer? j. M. 
Kane. I*a. 
Assuming it to be pure, which it isn’t, 
you can figure it as one-third quicklime, 
or one-half hydrated lime, or two-thirds 
limestone, in round numbers. But it is 
quite soluble, and just how it will affect 
plant roots it is impossible to say, so 
much depends on the soil, the season and 
the kind of plants. Better try a few 
pounds first, here and there, on various
