Abstract: 17,487. Bottomley, W. B. July 27. Manures.-Peat is treated with ammoniaproducing soil micro-organisms in order to convert the humic acid and humous substances in compounds that are soluble in water. Nitrogenfixing organisms may also be present. A suitable culture may be obtained by adding soil to a medium consisting of water, dextori, dipotassium phosphate, magnesium sulphate, calcium carbonate, and bouillon. The peat is thoroughly moistened with water containing the scum from the culture and kept at a temperature of from 24 to 30 C. for three weeks. The process is hastened by the addition of a nitrogenous organic material, particularly a weak solution of a substance such as albumin, gelatine, or meat extract, or the liquor obtained by boiling bones. The micro-organisms may be added in such a solution. A small quantity of a carbohydrate such as sugar or starch may also be added. The treated peat may be sterilized, as by live steam, and then further treated with nitrogen-fixing organisms. The peat may be dried and used directly as a manure, or an aqueous extract may be prepared for this purpose.
