that people who make neither food

Inference of Food on Manures.

Every thing goes to show how very
intimately the question of preparing
manure is connected with that of cat

must Violently be some one particular
style of feeding, which shall give the
best possible economic results for that
farm Under these conditions the
farmers aim is to obtain in the drop

largest possible quantity of manure
of the best quality. Amongst the
most successful farmers it has been the
custom to buy fertilizing matters in

which are used at the farm to fatten
cattle, whose manure is employed to
enrich the farm.
As q rule the farmer both in buying
and selling cattle food should take a
note of the value of the fertilizing
materials which are contained in it.
For xample there are found in one
ton of various foods the following
amounts of fertilizing sHb3 ances:

The bone before named. if dissolved and

would be of no benefit to tho
plants in the other thiriy-nins
square yards. The plant absorhs

as far as possible, every particle of
soil should contain its due proportion
