good.

giness, and general unsoundness.

The bones were reduced to ashes by their own agency, no fuel 
being mixed with them, beyond a few dry sticks, which served to 
kindle the fire in the first instance; it was then supplied with the 
bones in small quantities: by this means a considerable weight of 
them was calcined in a couple of hours. 
It may be right to mention, that the turnips of No. 2, which ter¬ 
minated its race with so little credit, considering its lead at starting, 
on being tried about six weeks earlier, were found of excellent qual¬ 
ity. But the superiority of the burned bones was on the whole very 
evident .—Irish Farmer s and Gard. Mag .
