2. The mills, in their Efforts TO break
prices, have kept out of the market and
are lightly stocked.
3. The farmers have sold three-fourths
of the clip and the remainder n held At
prices which keep the manufacturer and
dealer 10 and I6 cents apart on the
secured pound
4. The stock Of domestic and foreign
on our seaboard markets was never
smaller at this season.
5. The wool markets of the world are
far above relative values in America, and
woods cannot now be imported unless at
a further advance"
The Boston Journal of recent date says:
While our market has been so compar-
atively quiet, we notice no disposition to
urge sales at any concessions. Holders
are confident that all the desirable fine
and medium woods now on hand will be
wanted, and are indifferent about selling
at present. Manufactures are always in
clined to purchase lightly at this season,
unless some special inducements are Of
fered, as most of them are engaged in
taking an account of stock and looking
for the results Of the seasons business" !"
THE VALUE OF COW MANURE.
According to the analysis of Dana a
welI-fed COW voids daily about thirteen
pounds of undecayed vegetable matter,
three ounces of phosphate of lime, two
ounces carbonate of lime and two ounces
of plaster of Paris; or, in one year, four
thousand eight hundred pounds of vege-
table matter, seventy-Oue pounds Of dis
solved bone, fOrty-seven pounds Of lime,
forty-seven pounds of plaster, twenty five
pounds of salt, and fifteen pounds of sul-
phate of potash. But from the decay of
four thousand eight hundred pounds of
well masticated vegetable matter, there
is evolved about one hundred and seventy
nine pounds of ammonia. Il is evident,
then, that the COW is great manufacturer
of humus, salts and ammonia. The main
value of the COW manure depends upon
its vegetable matter and ammonia the
other salts are valuable, for they are in
such . condition as TO be readily taken
up by plants.
THE VALUE or HORSE MANURE
Stable, or horse manure, is exceedingly
valuable, and the urine Of horses il . still
more valuable fertilizer. Horses should
be Uttered deeply with forest leaves il
convenient, If not with straw. Dry muck
would absorb the ammonia of urine re-
mATkabIy well. The manure should be
mixed with earth, and plaster applied oe-
casionally. The pile shOald not be ~
lowed to heat.
Land web dressed with COW or horse
manure, or composted litter used under
horses or cattle, and 200 pounds of super
phosphate or dissolved bone to the acre,
will produce fine crops; even poor land
thus treated Will yield wei, and the yield
Of rich lands viii be greatly increased by
such treatment.
