MANURE MAxiMs.-At late meeting oil
the Farmers Club Of the American lnsti-
tute, Mr.. Il. w. Field read paper on ma
nures, in which he said:
The whole subject of manures may DC
stated in this proposition: =.
1. Manure does not waste so long as u
is unfermented or undissolved, and these
conditions may be effected by drying or sat
uTation.
.. Fresh manure is unfit for food Tor
plants.
3. Fermenting manure, in contact with
inert matter, has the power OF neutralizing
vicious properties, such as the fannie acid
of peats, aud making it fertilizer.
1. Manure wastes in two ways-thc es-
cape of gas and the dissolying OF Its solu-
bic salts.
). The creative power Of manure, mixed
with other substances, is capable OF multi
plying its value many times.
q. The value OF manure to crops Is IN
proportion to its dyisibility through the soil.
The golden rule of farming should be small
quantities of manure thoroughly divided and
intermingled with the soil.-COuntry Gen
Nemdn.
