liens of dollars are lost annually in
night soil alone in the nilcd States,
aud ns much more in other manures.
There j. mn enormous waste of value in

liquid portion of the waste If animals
To save This. it l. necessary TO have
good barns, with Easements, and TO use
absorbcnts. Hard wood saw dust will
do, but good muck is better: another
great waste is in heating manure which
is giving off a good deal of smell, as il
wastes the ammonia. Farms that have
good basement cellars. where the man
urc, solids and fluids, are saved and
properly cared for, Invariably improve.
