"TalkS on

lalkS on ManureS IS the Title
OF a new book, a copy of which we
have just received from the pub
lishers-the Orange Judd Co.. of
New York. The high standing
and popularity Of the author.
Joseph Harris, Of ''Moreton farm"
as an agricultural writer, and the
great and growing Importance of
the subject discussed make this
work II of peculiar interest to
American farmers. The author e
"Walks and Talks" it is safe to as
sumo has something to say when
he writes. His views may not al
ways be right but he will not ad-
them without having good
arguments to sustain them. There,
is probably no man in the United
States better qualified than Mr..
nures. The son of an English far
mer, he spent the years OF his early
manhood on the famous experiment
tai farms of Lawes and Gilbert of
Rothamstead. He there learned
the Importance of careful and con-
tinued experiment and obtained a
knowledge of scientific and practi-
cal investigation which was a grand
foundation for his life work. Filled
with enthusiasm for farm improve
ment lie came to this country and
soon began work as an agricultural
writer. He did not confine him
self to presenting theories but es-
tablIshed himself as a farmer and
then '.practiced what he preached"
and "preached what he practiced."
He has worked a large farm, i'm
proved it, raised improved S ock
and done much practically, as we'll
as with his pen, toward the agrlcul
tural progress Of the country.
This book upon marures has oc-
cupied his thoughts for a long
time. He has written it in the
familiar style adopted in his "Walks
and Talks" The Deacon" The
"Doctor,' The SQUIRE and
"Charley' his bright farmer boy,
are his prominent characters who
all have their peculiar views to pre-
sent.
The first chapter of "Talks on
Manures' is devoted to a discus
sion of farming as a business"
The Importance of getting a large
yield per acre is urged and the
different methods of reaching this
result are presented. Flowing fewer
acres, making them richer, sum-
mer following, draining, etc. The
second chapter attempts to answer
the question "What is manure? ?"
Scientific investigation ard prac-
tical experience vie with each
other to find a comprehensive def
milton Of manure The Doctor
explains chemically, the Deacon is
ready with his ridicule and makes
a point, when the author after
fully considering the question gives
his definition. Manure is any,
thing containing an element or
elements Of plant food, which if
the soil needs it, would, if supplied
II sufficient quantity, and IN an
available condition, produce, ac-
cordlng to soil, season, climate and
variety, a maximum crop"
Chapter four discusses .snatural
manure or the elements of plant
food natural to the soil and the
means necessary to make them
available.

Prof. $. ". Johnson, - chemist

different parts Of the State. The
amount Of potential ammonia IN
the chemically dry peat was found
to vary from o.5S in the poorest, TO
4.OG per cent. in the richest sam
piles. In other words, n deposit
of muck may contain seven tunes
as much nitrogen as another, and
it would be we'll before spending
much money IN drawing out muck
