The earnest hope that it may lead to souuder prac-
lice ia the most important branch of our agricultural
operations. "Of all fertilizers, " says Mr.. Cuthbert
Johnson in his work on fertilizers, " the most universal
and he most valuable TO Tie cultivatOr, and yet the
most generally miSmanaged, is farm-yard manure,
which has been often well described as the farmers
sheet anchor" Cato told his cOuntrymen, $50 years
before Christ" Study to have a large dung-hilI ;" and
the direction to the farmer must still be the same, and
that in spite of the numerous new and powerful fertili-
zers which are so much spoken ofin the present day
for remember that The object Of The agriculturists, as
of other men of business, is gain. The cost therefore
of his fertilizers is to be taken into account. In many
cases it viii be found advantageous to incur heavy ex-
peOse in purchasing costly but powerful manures, and
the question is between that and none, or between the
purchase of them and the purchase of farm-yard ma
nure, it being impossible 10 raise beyond a certain
quantity on the farm. But let it be further remember
ed, that what is raised en- the estate costs little or
nothing and is ofgreat value, nay, that it should cost
rs less than nothing, if | may say so, since its guam
tty and value will depend in a great measure upon
the treatment we bestOW upon our cattle, and the con-
dition we keep them in for doing our work or for send
ing to the butcher, "The quantity of manure produc-
ed by stock" says c. Johnson, 6 necessarily varies
with the quantity and quality Of the food upon which
animals are fed - that from the cattle of the straw
yard is decidedly the poorest that from those fed on
oi-cake, corn, or turnip S the richest. Of stable
9Th from corn-fed horses is the most powerful
from those SubsiSting on straw and hay the poorest.
The difference between the fertilizing effects Of the
richest and inferior farm-yard dung, is much greater
than is commonly believed in many instances the dis
parity exceeds one-half. Thus, that produced by cat
tie fed upon oil-cake is quite equal in value to double
the quantity fed on turnips, as has been fully proved
by careful experiment. In fact, every farmer who has

obvlanng The losses which usually occur during the
process of fermentation, we obtain all Inc valuable re-
suits which the manure is capable Of yielding. Oh
serve, the effects Of the thoroughly rotten dung are
more immediate, because in it the mineral matters as
well as the vegetable are in a state fit for assimilation
by the plants, but TO this state they come in due pro
cess if put into the ground in a partially dccomposcd
state, whilst IN the latter case, we mag arrange matter
SO as to seize upon the advantages offered bY the case
Gus matters which usually escape during the process.
How is this TO be DONE / grieve to say, by am
method rather than that we usually adopt. This | say
cOnscientiously and upon conviction and 1 would not
say it at all if did not believe that the point is one of
the greatest Importance, and the erroncousness Of our
practice most serious and disastrous. Has what have
already adduced carried conviction as TO the value Of
the ammonia generated by manures?* If it has, then
surely must 1t be apparent that we must err egregiOus-
ly and fatally in adopting such methods with our MA
nure as ensure the dissipation of the last particle of
ammonia from if, not to mention other losses. re-
peat it, that this Subjects at the least as important as
any which can possibly come under the consideration
of our agriculturists; and this will readily be acknow-
lodged, for every planter knows it to be his interest TO
look we'll after his manure, and to augment it as much
us possible but alas, our efforts are but too generally
attended with fatal errors, owing no doubt to a want Of
those general principles which give stability to every
art, and which are now SO largely entering into that of
agriculture, thanks to Liebig, Johnston, and others.
Though much afraid of wearylng my readers, | shall
not hesitate to enlarge further upon this subject, with
n If it has not, or indeed at any rate, I would earnestly re-
commend the careful perusal of letter on the subject, by Pro-
fessor Johnston to Mr.. Shirley, published in the Jamaica Agri-
cultural Reporter of 18th October, tie great Importance Of ahich
cannot be OUer-rated. Unfortunately I could not use it as an
authority in writing the above, as it was not published till some
months later.
