very low, even at this ratio the total
value of the manure from all the poultry
in the country would amount to $19,-
100000 annually"
To show that have not overestimated
the value OF hen manure, quote from
Johnston on practical poultry keeping:
ga Mr.. Lewis made this statement be-
fore the Massachusetts State Board of
Agriculture: He never used hen manure
on corn crops without having it bene-
flied more than all the hens ate"
The American Agrculturist for 1873,
on page 327, says: "Hen manure is al
most Identical in quality and effect with
guano, and may be used in like manner.
Its value, if free from foreign matter and
dry, is $50 ton"
The Poultry World estimates it to be
almost equal to guano. The Live Stock
Journal estimates that hen will pro-
duce one bushel of manure a year, and
that it is worth 81 a bushel. Prof. S. w.
Johnston estimates the nitrogen in poul-
try manure to be worth 30 cents, patash
cents and phosphoric acid 16 cents per
pound, which would give it value of
$50, instead Of $20.15, as we have it.
The value OF all the commercial fertili-
zers manufactured and sold during the
year 1887 was $23, 650,795.
In Dana's Muck Manual, page 1T, he
says: "The dung of domesl ic fowls and
birds in general contains salts similar to
those in guano, and for mulberries, vines,
peaches and other plants The droppings
OF barnyard fowls, one part to from four
to ten parts of watf ave been found to
produce excellent t9f dlts. The trees
have, at the end G tTWS53fa ears, the most
healthy and lux "'~Qt appearance mag
Unable. The POI. ,~,,,r4 d is to careful
farmer rich sour vegetable food"

source ofprOfit is H. ts eggs and dressed

Value Of Poultry Manure.

In figuring the profits in keeping poul-
try, when labor and expenditure ia made
TO appear on the debit side, the value of
the manure is scarcely ever estimated.
1t is considered of so little importance,
both in quantity and value, as to be
hardly worth noticing. The object of
this communication is to shed some light
On this subject, for we consider it very
important item to be considered, and es-
pecially in Florida where so much money
is expended annually for commercial fer
tllIzers, the majority of them being of
less value and costing from $50 to $45
per ton.
We will estimate the quantity and
then the quality as compared with what
we buy. l have had one pen of Wyan-
dotte hens, consisting of eight birds.
The coop is arranged with wire sore en-
over the board that catches the drop
pings. This is sprinkled with dry plas-
ter, and the droppings are gathered once
a week, the fowls occupying the coop at
night only, which is about twelve hours
from the time the coop is closed at night
until opened in the morning.
The drOppings from these eight lens
weighed ten pounds. They could not be
called green, for they have been exposed
to current of air and have remained on
the board seven days. This is equal to
one and quarter pounds from each hen
per week, or IS pounds for year. Thus
100 hens would yield $500 pounds,
counting half the time, the night only.
ton of well-rotted barnyard manure
contains 6 pounds of phosphoric acid,
10 pounds potash, II pounds nitrogen.
ton OF hen manure contaius 48 to 60
pounds of phosphoric acid, Al pounds of
potash, 81 pounds nitrogen. Thus 400
pounds of hen manure would contain as
much potash, phosphoric acid and nitro.
gen as one ton of barnyard manure.
According to the commercial value of
these elements, the value of ton of hen
manure may be estimated as follows:
Nitrogen, 81 pounds at Is cents, S12.O6
potash, Al pounds at TX CENTS, $3.O8;
phosphoric acid, 48 to so pounds, at 12b
cents, $5O1. Total $2O15.
II, as we have demonstrated, 100 fowls
produce $500 pounds (only counting
nights to be on the safe side,) then their
droppings alone have commercial value
of $7O.57. 1t is we'll known that the
manure from birds is more valuable than
from animals, for it contains the ura,es
and solid excrements combined. The
urine from cattle is more valuable
than the solids. III our domestic fowls
were fed upon meat or fish diet the ma.
nure would equal guano, blu ho analy-
sis of the latter shows a much LAGER per
cent. of nitrogen and phosphoric acid
than the former, and therefore OF more
value. This accounts for the low valua-
ton we frequently see given to hen drop
pings. The samples are taken from
farms where half the nitrogen is allowed
to waste, and the fowls have only what
they pick up.

forty hens. 1t was used on three-quar-
tiers OF an acre of corn, applied to the
