Manures.
Joseph Harris talks sense on the manure

Joseph Harris talks sense on the manure
question in the Agriculturist
We must make more manure. Manure is
the farmers capital. Capital is accumulated
earnings. II work fol 81 900 year and
spend 81, 900. am no better off at the end
of tho year than at the beginning. But if 1
can, by working little harder, earn 81 200
a year, and by prActicing little economy,
live on $500, can lay up S400. This s400
is capital, and begins at once to earn money
for itself. Capital is accumulated earnings
1t is what is left Of our profits or wages after
deducting the expenses oflying. Manure is
accumulated plant food IL is what is left
after raising and disposing Of crop. II
your land, as now worked, is capable Of pay
log you 20 bushels Of corn and a ton Ofstalks
per acre every year, aud you sell the whole,
your land is no richer In available plant-iood.
You are making no manure. You spend all
your wages.
