nearly sixteen per cent. OF alhuminoids.
The rain bad dissolved the albuminoids
and carried them into the soil.
But, as before remarked, what the
plants need is nitric acid or ammonia.
aud alter the s,lbnminoils are washed in.
To The soil they must be deeompOsed be
lore they become food for plants. When
dissolved in water aud carried into the
soil there can he little doubt That this de-
composition would proceed much more
rapidly than when the clover is plou2hed
under II. instead of using this fifteen
lons oi - cen clover tor manure. Il was
made into hay and ted Ia animals, ;tnd all
the liquid aud solid cNer. ments carefully
saved. We should lose perhaps tive per
cent. OF the nitrogen, which Is retained
ia the wood, flesh. &c. But the nitrogen
in tho excrements is ia very different
form ilum that in The clover. The nitro
geu exists largely in the torn oI urea, Il
substance containing over Iortl six per
cent. of nilrugcn and which a. long as
it Is dry can Oe preserved for any
length of time without decomposition or
loss. but when in solution radidiy charges
into carbonate OF ammonia, &c.
II all the nitrogen in manure existed
in the form OF urea. uric acid, hippurlc
acid. urlte OF ammonia. &e., there would
probably be no special advantage ia fer
menIing manure before applying II To the
land. The experiments of Dr. Cameron
and Prof. $ W. johnson seem to prove
that plants can take up these substances
But still the grand TACT remains that IN
Laacs' and GilberI's experiments the NJ
trogen in barnysrd manure does not pro-
duce As marked an effect on the crops rs
the nitrogen in ammonia. salts nilrates'
In other words, the nitrogen in barnyard
manure is largely unavailable
Barnyard manure contains more or
less straw, and the solid excrements also
contain large proportion OF nndigested
material. Ii is nitrogen OF these sub
stances that is unavailable. And hence
the experiments OF Johnson and Gamer.
on. showing that plants can take up urea,
are not inconsistent with the field expert
ments of Lawes and Gilbert showing
that much OF the nitrogen in 6arnyard
manure will remain dormant IN the soil
for many years.
What we now need 10 discover Is
some method OF rendering all the nitro
gen in barnyard manure available. MI.
Thomas, while he does not directly say
so, is evidently in favor OF spreading The
manure on the surface Of the land. and
letting it lie exposed TO the action Of the
air aud rains. The air. aided by the
damp soil. dews, &c. would soften and
break 10 pieces the hard. external cover
ing of tbs straw. aad expose the nitro
senous matter. &c to the action OF the
next shower OF rain, which would dis
solve il and carry it into the land and
distribute it more intimately among the
particles OF soil than it could be done 10y
any mechanical means. There can be no
doubt that this plan has many advantages
But We want more facts before we can
decide whether there is not \ better way

Farming Notes.

The following from the pen oil DR.
Lapham, in the Maine Farmer, will IN
terest our readers:
The general editor of the Naiae Far.
iner ha. recently had te n day; leave
OF absence from office duty. which was
most delightfully."- spent in travelling by
private conveyance. through some OF the
beautiful towns from kennebec county,
through Oxford TO Franklin. Fo; busi-
ness which requires dispatch. theIailway
furnishes excellent travelling q Cilities.
but for real enjoyment there is no Sys'
tenn like the old. fashioned one OF going
with ones own horse and wagon, especi'
ally in summeI. BY rail we are &C mined
to established and monolOnous lines OF
travel; by private conveyance we can
90 across lots where new and rich scenes
of rural beauty are constantly opening
up before Us. In the cars We only catch
glimpse. OF objects a. We fly along,
while by the other method we can study
them at our leisure. By railroad We are
constantly annoyed with toul air within
and with dust. smoke and cinderS from
without; when travelling by the more
primitive method. We inhale the invigor-
ating air Of the mountains, either pure.
or sweetened by the breath of flowers.
We DO not profess TO be a teacher oil
the science of agriculture, but having
been brought up on farm, we claim 10
know something of the cares and hard.
ships Is well a. the amenities oil farm
life We think as class the farmers OF
Maine ale as happy as any other, and AS
prosperous
Our chosen route was through The
towns OF Manchester, Winthrop, Mon
mouth, Leeds. Turner. Buekield, Sum-
ner, Woodstock, Greenwood, Bethel. Paris,
Peru. DiS6eld. Carthage, Weld, Canton,
LivermOre and Wayne. These towns
have quite variety of soil and scenery
and fairly represent the whole central por-
ton of the State. We noted carefully
the crop prospects on our route and from
our own observation and the reports OF in-
telligent farmers, we have arrived AT the
following conclusions: We think the
value OF the hay crop will he equal If
not greater than that of last year. The
grass is not so stout and bulky, but is
much more compact and much hea'isr
according to its bulk. In light sandy
soils the effects Of the continued dry
weather is apparent, though there are
few fields indeed which have not teen
benefited by the recent rains. In some
places in the mountainous regions OF Ok
ford and Franklin counties, there has
BEEN no lack of rain and the grass crop
Is abundant. Old worn out fields have
suffered most. everywhere, while ground
newly laid down or in good condition.
has everywhere yielded an abundant
crop.
OF corn there seems to be but small
breadth planted and what there is does
not look promising. The season as u
whole has been too cold for corn. and IN
less the balance Of July and the month
OF August shall be more favorable. the
Oxford Democrat. [volume] (Paris, Me.) 1833-1933, 1873-07-29

crop must be light. When good western
corn can DO laid down in Maine at 20 or
so cents, or even at dollar per bushcl,
it is better for our farmers to purchase
their coin in exchange for produce which
is more easily raised. The general IL
marks with regard TO the hay crop will
apply 10 grain. In sandy soils il is pinch
cd by the drouih aud does not prumisc
much. while in other localities il looks
we'll. We think the yield must bs below
the average.
Potatoes are som wht h rkwdi but
the recent rains arc Scasonah!e TO aid ~
forming the tubcr. and the crop pron'is-
es IL be good A large breadth seems 10
have been planted.
The hop crop which has bcc me qiiie
II staple in some Oi the OXOrI county
tnwnS does not promise well. The SIn,S
Ia lnust fields have not attained iarir u.s.
ual growth, aud our Impression i, thai
the \ ield vii; be unusually light. The
value oi this proIicl - very variable,
the range ia different years DriLg from
ten To sixty cents pei poumd. At twenty
cents they pay A. Soud profit a. amy
crop. except apple. and AT IiIty OF sixty,
OF course the piOtit i enormous. An
acre OF good vines Ia 4 favorable year,
will yield lrom fifteen Ia cIshIoru hund
red pounds aud The expense al eulii,a-
Ting and harvesting, ssitrI the vines have
been once stated aud poled. j., nut little
more than that of any other hucd crop.
But the great range in prices places up
on the crop :" uncertain - value. that
many are deferred from cu.iiyatiug Them,
who otherwise would We know one
farmer who planted two ares aud had
u fine field OF hops - wo ever saw.
In their first two bearing years, The mar
ket was dull. the crop hardly bringing
enough 10 pay the expense OF harvesting.
The third year he plowed them up and
planted the field 10 potatoes. and that
year hops were worth ilty cents per
pound. Last season they we're worth
forty five. and at the present Time worth
Thirty five cents. Hops depreciaie in
value with age. and when year old.
they bring but small price, especially
after the new crop is ready Tor the mar
ket.
The apple crop is whole will be con-
siderably below The average In most
orchards. we must expect light crops
every alternate year, and last season Was
remarkable Tor an unusual yield. Our
best orchardisis however, tell us. thst un'
less we have early irosts 10 Kill the bios
SONS, or some other unusual occurrence
TO effect either the blossom or the fruit,
there j. no reason why we should have
failurs in the apple crop. provided the
trees are properly cared for; and we
have no doubt this view i correct.
When farmers learn 10 besiow the same
care upon their orchards that they do up
on their other growing crops, they viii
test the question for themselves. But
the too common idea is. that when an APP
pie tree is once started il should take
care of itself. and it it fail, to grow and
thrive aud bear, the tree is condemned
and fruit culture i, pronounced IN un.
profitable business.
