Nitrogen in Manure.

Nitrogen IN Manure.
According TO the best chemical author
tiles, the value Of the nitrogen contained
in a ton of well-rotted manure is about
50. The nitrogen in this kind of manure
is derived from the heterogeneous COM
pounds in the food Of the animals and
the litter used in bedding them. All Of
the nitrogen contained in the latter APP
pears in the manure, while much Of that
contained in the food consumed does
not. II we are feeding q young, grow
ing animal, a portion Of it goes to build
up its structure; if q mich COW, a por-
ton goes to the formation of the casein
of the milk; if o fattening animal, apor-
ton is need ed for the production off2t;
but if the animal ia. pro9ucing nothing,
II at a stand still (i.e., no increase of
bulk, milk or fat, nesrly all the nitro
gen contained in the food is excreted
and may be recovered in the manure -
So that of all the cases above noted the
fattening animal returns the largest pro-
portion OF the nitrogen contained in the
food) in the excrements, whilst q mich
COW returns the least.
On comparing the proportion Of nitro
gen contained in the solid excrements
- with that contained in the urine we find
that by far the larger part is contained
in the latter-in some cases more than
twice as much. The nitrogen in the
solid excrements represents the undi-
gested and more difficult to assimilate
soluble portions Of the heterogeneous sub
stance Of the food consumed; and as un.
decomposed vegetable matter cannot
serve directly as plant.food, this part of
the excreted heterogeneous matter must
undergo still further change-such as
during the process Of rotting-before it
acquires its highest agricultural value.
The nitrogen in urine, on the other
hand, represents that portion Of the nj
trogenous substance of the food which
was the most soluble, and has been di-
gested and assimilated, and which, hav-
ing served its purpose in the animal
economy, is conveyed out of the system
through the kidneys. And as these
compounds of nitrogen are mostly in So
luton in the urine they must necessarily
be more soluble, and are so far ready
for use as plant-food, experiments prov
ing that plants can feed on them in such
form, and that they are subject to rapid
alteration Oh exposure to the air, being
thereby converted into compounds of
ammonia and nitric acid, which are IN
questionably suitable constituents of
plant-food.

Saving GirdIcd Trees.
A correspondent says; A number of
years ago / bought q farm on which was
a large orchard, many of the trees being
about six inches in diameter. A crop
of second-growth clover was allowed to
go down in this orchard in the fall and
remain all winter. In the spring l found
many Of tho trees girdled by mice, which
had a nice place all winter under this
clover. A band OF bark six inches in
width was taken off perfectly clean to
the wood on some Of the trees. Scions
were cut a little longer than the place to
be bridged over. Then both ends OF
these scions we're Whitfield in the shape
of long slim wedges, and the buds taken
of. A knife-blade was now inserted be-
tween the bark and wood of the tree
above and below the girdled place, and
a scion crowded in Mt the bottom and
bent 30 as to DO sprung into place at the
top, Eight or ten of these scions were
put into each tree and q small mound of
earth was raised so as to cover the
wounds, The result was that every tree
lived and did we'll. They did not make
30 much growth the first year as those
not girdled, but since that time they
have, to all appearances, done just as
well, every other year being loaded with
splendid Baldwins; and Mt this time
those scions not only touch each other,
but they have SO crowded that it would
be hard to tell that there had ever been
anything the matter, were it not for the
uniform ridgy appearance at the foot OF
the trees. BY this plan it takes but a
few moments TO fix q treo all right.
