ABOUT ABsoRBENTs.
How They should he Treated Before De-
Ing Applied to Land.

How They should lie Treated Before De-
Ing Applied to Land.
We are accustomed, rs a class. to re-
gard any thing that enters into the ma
nure heap as an absorbent. An alb
sorbent may be more or less serviceable
according to its condition. The more
porous ii is the better. The object of
an absorbent is to hold and retain the
liquids, as the solid portions are them
selves absorbents. II is plain that the
larger the quantity Of liquids absorbed
and held the more valuable the absorb
ent material. Plunge a mass of moss
into vessel of water. withdraw il, and
then squeeze out the water. The
amount Of water that has been absorbed
will be very great, Now. try the same
process with sand, N some suitably
contrived vessel for that purpose, and
also with loan. 1t will be found that
the loan absorbs twice as much water
as the sand, but handful OF leaves,
finely cut straw, or even chopped corn
stalks, will hold more than the earth.
This teaches the Importance of utilizing
the leaves, straw and stalks as absorb
ents in the manure heap, but il is plain
that the finer the matter the better.
Loan and sand make useful materials
also, as they serve to divide the matter
Of the heap, thereby adding to its alb
sorbent capacity. Every fam r. there
fore. should cut up the straw tor bed
ding. as it will thereby absorb = larger
proportion Of liquid ana more easily
decompose. There is another import
ant point, which is that the liquid
causes the solids to decompose, and
hence the greater the quantity Of liquid
absorbed the sooner the solids become
available as plant food. Fineness Of
condition is almost as essential as the
quality Of the constituent eler ents
composing the manure. Farm, Field
