Fertility of Dairy Farms.

Much nonsense is circulated in
regard to the rapid loss of fertility
Of dairy farms. by reason of the car
rying away of the phosphates in the
milk. Now. enc thousand pounds
Of milk contain about three To four
pounds OF phosphates, of which
nearly the whele is phosphate Of
lime. or this less than half is phes-
phoric ,,acid; FIVE thoueand pounds
Of milk, therefore. contain but seven
and one half pounds of phosphoric
acid, which may be taken as the
yearly consumption, in this way, Of
each cow. As wheat bran contains
90 per centum of phosphoric acid.
it needs only, that about two hun
bred and fifty pounds Of bran to be
fed to each cow, yearly, to replace
the draft upon the soil. There are
few dairy cows that are fed less than
this quantity OF either bran or some
feod equivalent to it. and it is pretty
certain that very little, if any phos-
pheric acid is really taken from the
soil of dairy farms. On the con
trary, to say nothing of the natural
supply in the soil; which slowly be-
comes soluble, there is good reason
to believe that every well kept dairy
farm becomes gradually richer in
phosphates every year.-Anericae

And the warm green lane where the beetles
