The prevalent idea that manure con
tains much ammonia is pronounced by
an English authority as without founda-
ton. 1t Is explained that the elements
of which ammonia is formed during de-
composition, viz, nitrogen and hydro
gen, are to be found in manure. but as
decomposition is ii very slow process the
ammonia is very slowly evolved AS it
is produced it is in the form of gas which
is dissolved in the water existing in the
manure or it combines with the abun-
dant carbonic acid evolved during the de-
composition and forms carbonate of am
monia 1t is very rare that any ammonia
can be detected escaping from ii manure
heap The fetid odor of IA manure pile
is not caused by ammonia. but by com
pounds of sulphur and carbon, the same
as those evolved by decaying eggs and
rotten cabbages. The ammonia of ma
nure is very slowly disengaged, requir-
ing year or more before 1t Is all pro-
duced and evolved. and rs the soil absorbs
it freely there is scarcely any danger of
any loss of this valuable part of the ma
nure as it is commonly used. The pun
gent odor of a horse stable is caused by
the escaping of ammonia. and farmers
lose more of this element of manure in
this way in one warm night from an I'M
clean horse stable than from their ma
nure heaps in year A pound of am
monia in manure is worth seventeen
cents, and ton of manure produces in
all only twelve pounds of it, according
to the authority quoted

Mr.. and Mrs. Loren Prescott are keep

four years old. Last April she was ia

Doctors at home and at Detroit treated
her, but in vain, she grew worse rapidly,
until she was mere "handful of bones"
Then she tried DR.. Kings new dis

worth its weight in gold, yet you may

/. His great legal ability, combined
with his firmness and decision Of
character, put check to many things
attempted by that body andgave
Texas some Of her best statutary laws.
AT the close of his legislative term he
settled in Austin as member of tie
firm of Chandler, Walton & Robert
son, doing q large and lucrative
practice. In 1879 Judge Turner was
appointed by President Hayes to a
Federal judgship and Governor Rob-
erts appointed Colonel Robertson to
fill out Judge Turner's unexpired
term. He was elected Mayor of Aus
tin in 1884 and reelected in 1886.
Colonel Robertson was q man CT
marked intellectual ability. He was
tender and true in his affections, and
firm as rock in his convictions of
right. He leaves an aged mother and
several sisters, excellent and true
women, and three brothers, all distin-
guished lawyes; one of whom, Judge
James III. Robertson, is now serving
as judge of the Fifty-third Judicial
district. His wife still survives him,
and is known far and wide as a most
