this material, equal, in cash value,
TO seven hundred and forty eight
thousand two hundred and thirty
dollars, and the loss in the solid
portion added thereto, wo'd make
a total of one million twenty-nine
thousand four hundred aad eighty
dollars-and he adds, all Of this
might be saved. The urine Of a
COW for one year, IL is computed,
will furnish 672 pounds Of solid
extract will contain as much nj
trogen as SEQ pounds Of the best
guano, and so large a quantity Of
potash, that by combustion, at the
commercial value Of the later ar
ticle, tits worth from $40 to S25.
But this is only one Of the means
which might be made tributary
to the fertility Of the soil. The
forest leaves, innumerable muck
beds, wash Of the streets, hog
pen, sheep fold poultry house, the
farmers vault, ash bin, sink-drain-
ings, waste Of manufactures, saw
mills, &C., &C., ell are waiting but
the farmers calling to yield their
treasures.
We may be met by the asser-
ton that it is profitable to use
guano or any Of the manures bro't
from abroad, which, for the sake
of argument, we will admit, but
if it pays to bring these fertiliz-
ing properties thousands Of miles,
it must be a profitable business
to protect the same ingredients
when made at home. The i'm
portation Of these fertilizers may
auger we'll for the enterprise Of
our farmers, but we would give
more for the influence Of one,
who, purchasing none, made eve-
ry exertion to increase the size
and value OF the manure heap on
bis own land, than for him. who,
expending thousands annually fol
guano, phosphate or animal man
ure, at the same time, suffered
the production Of live materials
on his farm to Q wasted. The
true principle is to make a right
application Of the means within
our use before we 60 abroad fol
help-to put our own shoulders
to the wheel before we pitiously
implore Jupiter or any one else t
assist US out Of the difficulties in
to which We have, not unwilling
lily, plunged. In speaking Of The
value Of manures, Prof. Nasi
uses the following language" q
will not say that manure is the
farmers gold, but il is that whicl
brings him gold. About in pro
portion as the barn-cellar, tn
yard and the pig-pen, are fille'
with manures, will the purse b.
filled with shining metal; and wha
lis more, about in the same pro
portion will the farmer have tn
exquisite pleasure Of seeing eve
Irything else on his farm shine. y
If farmers will "gather up tn
fragments so that nothing b
lost" and make judicious appIi
cation Of the same, worn out farm
will become the exception, all GU
lands will prove fertile but let in
attention or carelessness rule i
this department Of agriculture
economy, and failure will be tn
inevitable result.
