Value of Scientific knowledge to Far.


We have not the slightest doubt that
millions of dollars might have been
saved TO this country if all farmers had
known that their barnyard manure
contained a material called ammonia,
which rapidly disappeared when that
manure was exposed to the air and
weather. but that little ground plas-
ter or even earth mixed with the
barnyard manure would stop waste. 1t
does not require any great depth of
study for farmer to learn that soda
or potash put in his soil makes com
bination with the sand (silica) that
causes it to dissolve, and that unless
this sand becomes soluble the stalks of
grain will not be firm and strong to
hold up the heads of ears.
IL does not require any great amount
of brain though for a farmer to remem-
her that soda, potash and lime. when
combined with sulphuric acid, are
called sulphates, when with muriatic
acid. are called muriates, and when
with carbonic acid, carbonates; and
that all are valuable to him, but that
the first three will fix the ammonia in
his barnyard manure, and the last will
not. We simply believe that if more
science was written for farmers in a
practical and plain manner they would
make better crops.-Ne,c York World,
