Economy and Preservation of Farm

Ala late mating uf lh" '','l',r",
Agricultural Society ol Scotland, Dr. An
derson delivered an important lecture cu
Ihe '"Economy of M inures," from which
We make the following extract :
1 beg it to be understood an my decided
opinion, thai farmyard immure must al
ways be the fanner's main slay. Good
farmyard manure will contain more or less
r.f all the constituents of cir crop--, but. in
estimating its value, we must he contented
to take into consideration only its more
imporliuit constituents, un.l, in this way, I
conceive we may obtain a sufficiently n.ar
estimate, by knowing the ninouut of nitro
gen and phosphoric acid which it contains.
In the management of farmyard manure,
Iwo different questions require to be con
sidered. Firsl.lhc production of a manure
containing the greatest possible amount of
nitrogen ; and, secondly, the successful
conversion of that nitrogen in'o ammonia..
It is not unimportant, of course, that the

ol nitrogen, will be thut which proiiuces
the most Taluable manure iu other re
cts. In regard to the first of these
questions, there is a want of definite infor
mation. 1 1 is a common statement, how
ever, that the value of the manure is de
pendent upon the nature of food with which
the cattle that produce it are supplied.
That, for instdiice, cattle fed upon oilcake
produce suerior manure to those fed on
turnips. I am aware that this opinion in
not universal, as I have beard it disputed
hv farmers of skill and experience. 1 am
inclined, however, to believe that U is to a
artuin pwient correct. Supposing, then.
that two samples of such manure dtfivr, it
must be obvious that it is the dung and
which differ; the litter
ilum will be same in bo:h
- o
cases.
As regards tSe general question of the
preservation of mmure. I apprehend that
the most important matter is iis protection
from air and moisture, la the wny a
common dung lieap is made, we have, in
fact, exactly the conditions to occasion los
of its valuable constituents. It is exposed
to a more or less free current of air, which
facilitates the volatisation of the ammonia
a it is formed ; and it is exposed to the
falling rain, which wa.il.es out the sjl jble
saltsand what ammonia the winds have
spared, into the subjacent sod. It is true
that the former of these sources of loss can
lie got the better of by use of acids or ol
gyrwum, and mixing with dry earth ; but
when the ammonia is thus frxed. as it i

In order to have farmyard dung in the j beta thus uj.ii.wdy sep. away
Lest statf, it must be prtl ed under cov i
i r ; and, my impression is.lliat the intro- j
duction of covered dung pits is likely to
prove of great importance. ' "Ve have an
other matter to attend to, also, in the man- j
ugement ol hrmyard manure its fertnen-
lation, namely, by which is meant the pro-
duction or such a decomposition as con- j
verts the nitrogen present into ammonia, j
The importance of this decomposition de- i
penda upon the ftct.thnt, by this means, we j
obtain a manure which acts with grea-er j
,,;ditv than one in which this decompnsi- j
ti . has not been eff.-ctcd. The fact is.tbnt
the formation of ammonia, takes place
much more slowly, when it b .sbeen in
rorpnrnted with the soil, than when it is
heaped up in the dung heap; and as the
nitrn -en must pass into the state of ammo
Ilia before it is absorbed by the plant. we
require to ellect as much of thut change j
as possible, if wcareto have a mmure of j
