The Kind Considered Most Suitable foI
Farm and Orchard.

The Kind Considered Most Suitable for
Farm and Orchard.
At recent meeting of the Western
New York Horticultural Society Prof.
Roberts, of Cornell University, gave an
excellent practical discourse, describing
the system Of manuring by which the
exhausted university farm had been
doubled in its crops. Wheat had reached
forty bushels per acre, and they were
now disappointed when it was not over
thirty bushels. They had manufactured
four hundred and siXty-six tons of rich
manure, and drawn it out on the land
the past year. In addition to the clover,
hay and rich food given to the cattle,
the cotton seed and other materials
plaster was streWed in the stables, which
Prof. Roberts thought as good as any
way to apply it to land. From each
COW were thus made eighty pounds of
manure daily. By careful examination,
the liquid portions which were carefully
saved were found on an average to be
equal to the solid parts, More than
one-half the cost Of the feed given to
the cattle went to the manure, or in
other words, while the cost of the food
of each animal was found to be twenty
three cents a day, the manure from it
was worth sixteen cents. Superphos-
phate is of little or no value on the land
of that place, and the improvement
made had been effected with home
made manure carefully saved. Prof.
R. said that in common practice in
farming, half of the materials of which
manure is manufactured from the farm
never gets back to the land to benefit
the crops, and often only quarter.
To prove the difference in the richness
of manure, an experiment was made
with three portions of land, the first of
which was left unmanured; the second
was enriched with the common manure
from the town; and the third with the
best homemade manure. from rich food
kept under cover. The last mentioned
gave product as much greater than
the town manure, as this was better
than the unmanured land.
The manufactured manure is drawn
out and spread on the land as fast as
made, from September to February;
after that time the spring Accommodations
remain in . covered yard, and are APP
piled to the wheat in autumn. Ii the
heap becomes too dry water is thrown
on it; and If it is found to ferment too
fresly, burrows are plowed around The
heap, and the earth thrown on it by the
men in spare portions of time. - Country
