We farmers need a crop that will pay

what is Farm-Ynrd Manure Worth /.

What is farm yard manure worth COM
pared with fertilizers at their market
price? writes George Clendon.
It is often assumed that pound Of
nitrogen has the same value in borh
classes of manures, and the same with
potash and phosphoric acid Hence, 2
ton of yard manure is sometimes valued
at from 81 to 81, because its fertilizine ele-
ments would cost these sums if bought
IN the fertilizer market. l do not know
why potash and phosphOric acid may not
be OF the same value IN dung and artifi-
cial manures, so will confine my atten-
ton to the nitrogen.
We must recollect that when the
chemist says pound of active nitrogen,
such as is found in nitrate of soda, is
worth, say Is cents he does not mean
that 1t is worth that much to the farmer:
but merely, if he buys it, that is it's trade
value. To the farmer il may be worth
more, or it may be valuelesS; much de-
pending on the soil and crop. For CROPS
lnVoIVlng much labor. such as tobacco

But if we allow that active nitrogen is
worth its trade price, how much is nitro
gen worth as it exists in ward manure?
70 solYe this question we must go to Sir
JOhn IS. LaWes. That great experiment.
eI mas that elghty-two pounds Of nitro
gen IN nitrate of soda, or sulphate Of
ammonia, produces as much wheat as
zg9 pounds of nitrogen in yard manure
WIN barley, the difference is even more
striking; Tor forty-One pounds of active
nitrogen gave as much as 200 pounds Of
the nitrogen in yard manure. These are
the average results of experiments con-
tinued from 1852 to 1870, period of nine
teen years. They have been kept up to
the present day, but an average of nine
teen years is good enough. We learn from
these experiments that for wheat pound
OF active nitrogen is worth two and a
haf pounds Of yard nitrogen. and that
lot barley II is worth five pounds. And
yet, with these we'll known facts before
US, the nitrogen in yard manure is often
valued at from Is to II cents a pound
A bushel Of wheat, with its straw, con-
tains about a pound and a half of nitro
gen; but Sir j. =. LaWes finds that it
takes four pounds of nitrogen, as il ex-
lists in nitrate of soda or in ammoniacal
salts, to make that amount. With yard
manure, it took ten pounds. To be avail

Deatroying weeds by Injection.

The notion of destroying weeds by in
fecting them with disease Is certainly
novel. 1t Is a new idea with which the
department of agriculture IS making ex-
perimcnts, says an exchange. Unfortu-
nately the disease attacks only one spe-
cies of weed but that Is extremely pestit-
erous. 1t is well known in the northeast
ern part of the United States as live
forever" Farmers in that section of the
country regard 1t as a terror. In New
York state and portions of New England
its prevalence has reduced the market
value of large areas of land by 80 per cent.

however, II was brought into this country

Lime causes a chemical decomposition
in the soil, acting upon both its inorganic
and organic constituents. On the one
hand 1t decomposes the silicates, which
form the main part of the SOIL and liber-
ates their alkalies: on the other its work
is to convert the nitrogen 1t finds into
ammonia. 1t sets free locked up food.

not always get it. He loses a duoble in

stock is ready for market there is a prob
ability that the added cost of feeding will
offset any increase in value.
