A NEW EoaM oE MANURE.

Statements Made 10 Peter Henderson Be

ANYTHING new on the topic Of manures
is of interest TO gardeners and farmers
recent feature is the use Of dried peat
moss i'm place Of straw as bedding for
horses i'm towns and cities. In regard TO
this Mr. Henderson expressed the opinion
that the moss so used is likely to be Of
great value 20 the market gardener, If 1t
can only be had in sufficient quantities.
Mr. Henderson also made the following
statements, which afford desirable IN
formation on the subject:
We have had it in use in our own sta
bles for about two years, and find 1t not
only more economical than straw for bed
ding. but its absorbing qualities makes II
Of great value for fertilizing purposes.
We can buy ordinary straw manure IN
our vicinity for 81 per team load, but
we are buying al we can get from sta
bles where the moss Is used at q per
team load, believing it 70 be OF twice the
value Of ordinary straw manure. IL Is
claimed that the source Of supply OF the
peat moss in Europe is almost mex
haustible, and ii is now -tered by three
or four firms in New York at prices
ranging from Sl2 TO Sll per ton, and II
is hoped competition will bring it yet still
lower. II Is now used exclusively as bed
