In the -earlyr years of tbe indtistry they were« the main raw material. for the, production, of phosphate fertilizer, but now are of, minor importanceoigtth limited.. supply available 'for such use. Several other industries are now users of hones, and thesuipply remiaining for use as, fertilizer is comparatively small: in. spite. of- the fact that the supply is utilîzed more thoroughly than ever before. B3uffalo bones1 were gathered in quantities on the.western plains as the railroads weïe extended înto territory that made their shipment possible, but the supply bas long been exhausted, and the 'present supply of bones is limited to cur- rent produjction of the pwat-paçk- ing and rendering establ ishiments those gathered by junk collectors. and to imiports mainly f rom South. Ani.erica and Asia. The usual pro- cess of manufacture is simply to, pulverize the bones either in thC,. raw condition or after steaming to. extract the glue. This bope meal contains from 1.6 to 4 percent ùf, nitrogen (N) and from 2O.to 25 per- cent of pbosphoric. acid, (P205) . . . Another bone product. bone black, after being used anid dis-. carded by other industries is used as fertilizer. The pbospborus of bone is present as a calciumn com- pound and the nitrogen as an or-. ganic material sornewhat similar to the gristle of meat."
