MUoK.-An acre OF swamp muck OF good
quality, three feet deep. is actually worth
SIS. 900. No doubt such statement Is
surprising. So was the statement OF Dr.
Lawes, of England, that ton OF bran FED
to COWS return more than it cost In ma
nure. The best muck, free from sand,
contains two per cent or forty pounds OF
nitrogen in q ton. Nitrogen is worth in
the market twenty-five cents per pound,
so that q ton Of swamp muck IS worth $50
for the nitrogen In it. All that is reeced
is to work up the muck. so as to make the
nitrogen available. An acre OF swamp
muck three feet deep contains $500 tons
and would require eight months to draw
out, at ten loads day. Few persons real
ize the value of the fertllizing element of
common waste matters which lie under
their feet, and the Innumerable tons OF
matter that may be available for fertilizing
purposes, or that many Of the idle and ne
elected materials represent a vast amount
of wealth But it must be remembered that
all swamp muck cannot be classed as OF
good quality-some of it is next door to
worthless.
