circumstances, IN that Of nitric acid, another compound
OF nitrogen, resulting from the decay of vegetable and
animal matters. " The employment of animal manure
in the cultivation Of grain, aud ;he vegetables which
serve for fodder TO cattle, is the most convincing proof
that the nitrogen OF vegetables is derived from ammo
MA. An increase OF animal manure gives rise, not only
TO an Incl ease IN the number of seeds, bat also to a
most remarkable difference IN the proper ton of the
substances containing nitrogen, such as clutcn.' Now.
It'll s well known that plants Increase in health and vaInr
as they contain The more gluten, I. c. the more nitrogen.
The next object which we shall have in view, will be
to show, that as nitrogen enters into the composiGon
of gluten, and gluten into the vegetable products which
are most valuable as tood-gS Wheat-so the nitrocen
is valuable to the cane-p,ant, even beyond that general
influence winch IS eXerted upon vegetation hv elch
element which IS always present. The fact is, that it
Is exceedingly difficult to measure out the degree Of
value attaching to each element which enters into vegg-
table productions, because many of these, though differ
ing materially IN their characteristic qualities, are SO
nearly alike IN composition that it quite surpasSes our
limited powers to explain why or how the elements in
any one case are combined to form one product and not
another, Thus, Johnston teaches US that so lbs. of car
bon with so lbs. Of the elements of water, make 100 lbs.
ofwoody fibre whilst so lbs. OF carbon with 374 lbs.
of the elements Of water makes 81 lbs. ulmic acid
and again, so lbs. carbon and 721 lbs. ele-
mentS of water, form 1921 lbs. cane sugar, starch, or
gum; and so lbs. carbon with Sc lbs. elements of water,
form 16 lbs. vinegar. la the interior of the plant,
therefore,. it is obvious, that whichever of these su6stan-
ceS be present in the sap, the elements are at hand out of
which any ofthe others may be produced. In fact, we
find IN natural processes, that it frequently occurs that
the one product of vegetation is converted into the
other. Thus, it is we'll known that plants upon their
first entrance into life are furnished with a certain
amount of starch, aud that this again is converted into
, 1872-11-27

other, can be nearly estimated. The question here
naturally occurs to us, how is it that animal manure,
:. {. cXcrefnentS, is richer in nitrogen than vegetable? il
IS thus accounted for by Johnston "A COW consumes,
IN the course of twenty-four hours, vegetable matter
which cOntains-carbon, $4,000 grains; nitrogen, 5000
grains. In the same time it gives off from the lungs-of
carbon, 1880 grains ;ofn;trogen none. There is there
fore left to be rejected in excrementS-carbon, q, 800
grams; nitrogen, 5000 grains consequently, the ex~
Gremcnt Is much richer, pOportl0a0Uy, IN nitrogen than
The food. Not that all this matter proceeds drccHy
through the body: a large proportion Oft is taken into
the auImai structure but then, in the tul-grOWn animal
II IS replaced by an equal quantity Of Similarly constitu-
ted matter, so that the effect is the same though, in
stead OF being passed OtfimmedIately, it is so after going
through the flesh Of The animal. From this it will be
apparent how il is that the eXcremcnt of one class of
ANIMALS is richer than that Of another class; they contain
more nitrogen, and this depends in. a great measure
nPon the nature Of The feed they are in the habit of
eating. Thus, the excrements Of man contain only two
proportions ofcarbOn to one Of nitrogen and conse-
quently are among the most fertiliziug matters--this is
owing to his eating flesh and other matters containing
nitrogen. On the contrary, the excrements of the cow
contain 81 Ofcarbon to | of nitrogen, and Sc are less
fertllzlng considerably less so than the h~orse-Wlich,
again, is much less fertiIizing than that of the sheep
whilst pigeons dung far exceeds this last. la fact, it
may be as well to give part of the table of manures, &C.
cordIng to the value attached to the nitrogen they con-
tain Qrom Johnston, comparing them with farm-yard
dung + c. supposing it takes 100 lbs. of this TO produce
a given amount of effect, it will take to produce the same
