DURATION AND FERTILIzING EFPEcTs
OF ANIMAL .MANURE.-All portions Of ami
NAL manures are good, but different in the
rapidly Of their fertilizing effects as we'll
as their duration. The principle Of this
difference is described by Professor john
son as follows:
"Horn, hair and wool depends for their
efficacy, precisely on the same principles as
the blood and flesh Of animals. They diff
fer chiefly in this, that they are dry, while
the blood and flesh contain 80 or 90 per
cent. of their weight in water. Hence, a
ton Of horn shsvings, Of hair, or Of dry
wooden rags, enrich the soil as much as ten
tons Of blood.
In China, the hair. which, in every ter
days is shaven from the heads Of the entire
population, is collected and sold for manure
throughout the empire. The effect of sol
animal matter is more immediate and up
parent, while that Of hard and dry substanc
is less visible, but continues for mucl
longer period OF time. Woollen rags
when made into compost, and fermented
form Oh excellent manure for hops, turnip.
and mos, other kinds of crops"
