VALUE or MANuRes.
The LosS accident TO Continued Exposure
I In Open Barnyards.

1ho LOe4 loctuent 20 C0nttnuo0 Exposure
>. In Open Barnyards.
The experiment station of Cornell
university has made series Of inves'
legations on the loss in stable manures
by exposure in open barnyards, the re.
suits of which are summarized in bull
letin twenty-seven Of that station.
In the experiments of 1890 horse mo
nure was saved from day to day until
pile of two tons had been accumulated.
This was done April Is to 25. Cut
wheat straw was used plentifully as
bedding, the relative amountof straw
and manure being 1919 pounds ex-
crement and 6Sl pounds straw.
Chemical analysis showed that one
ton of this fresh manure contained
nearly ten pounds of nitrogen, seven
and one-half pounds Of phosphoric acid
and eighteen pounds of potash, making
its value about $3.50, if these constit'
uents be valued at the same rate as in
commercial fertilizers.
The pile of manure thus made was
put IN place exposed to the weather
and where the drainage was SO good
that all the water not absorbed by the
manure ran through and off at once.
1t remained exposed from April 25 to
September 90, at which time it was
carefully scraped up. weighed and a
sample taken for analysis
1t was found that the 1000 bad
shrunk to 1,730 pounds during the six
months, and analysis showed that this
1,73O was less valuable, pound for
pound, than the original lot of manure.
1t had not only lost by teaching, but
by heating or fire fanging" during
periods of dry weather, and the value
of the pile of 1900 pounds had shranh
from $500 to Sa.1a-a loss of 50 pei
cent.
In summing up the results of this ex
pertinent Director Roberts says: III
seems safe to say that under the or
binary conditions of piling and ex
posture the loss Of fertilizing materials
during the course of the summer is mo-
likely to be much below so per cent. o;
the original value of the manure"
Further experiments showed that thu
liquid manure from a COW is wortl
as much per day as the solid manure
and that the combined value of the TIVE
is nearly 10 cents per day, if valued a
the same rate as commercial fertilizers
that from horse at cents, that from
a sheep at ~ cents, and that from ;
hog at one-half cent for literally fed
thrifty shoats of medium size.
Director Roberts is careful to ex
plain that these values will have u, b.
modified to suit individual circum
stances. What he means is that
farmers can afford to buy Commercial
fertilizers at current prices, then tn
manures of the farm are worth tn
prices given and it will pay to hous
them.

A pair of rats happily situated and

rats will eat as much in one day as a
man the consumption of these rats
would be equal to that of 65,6s0 men
the year round and leave eight rats in
the year to spare. Multiplying in this
rapid way it is providential that the rat
has SO many natural enemies. All
these to the contrary notwithstanding,
