Scientific Side OF nm Important Agri<ui-

The economic importance OF the

point of view Of manure, is incalcuable.

ical analysis. II Is found that the former.
while slightly poorer In potash. lime.
and phOsphoric acid. Ia very consider
ably richer in nitrogen. But the diff
ference Is still more in favor of the peat
manure In respect to the easily soluabie
nitrntes, for the reason that these orig
mate solely in the animal excrcment, In
which they are present in the form
OF volatile body. which is noticeable
In the stall by its pungent smell. He
says:

and so materially heightens the good
operation of the manure. is to be dis
covered one of the most valuable prop
critics of moss litter"
From his figures it appears that in
stall OF ten head of cattle. through the
use Of moss litter, about lao kilograms
OF easily soluble nitrates yearly, worth
at least SIS, would be preserved In the
manure, which in employing straw, are
lost.
According to the comparative studies
of Lavalard on the subject of manures
from animals fed in the same manner,
the richness IN nitrogen is 0.6s for peat
manure and only o.5l for straw manure.
Peat litter is also said to be the best
possible material for use in fowl houses,
on account of it's deodorizing qualities
and ITS power of banishing insects.
Bielawski mentions that IL is used In thc
great military pigeon houses in Paris.
which contain more than 500 pigeons.
IL Is stated that the best bedding.
both as regards the beasts and as re-
CARDS the manure, is layer of straw
over a good thick bed of moss litter.
In this way, the animals have the most
comfortable bed and the stall looks
nice and fresh; the urine and the am
monia which the straw cannot absorb
are absorbed by the peat below; the
manure has the advantage Of the ele-
ments In which each substance is
richest, and nothing is lost either in
the stable or outside.-Farm, Field and

gotiate with Mcbride, being unable TO
find him, appointed one OF it's number
TO act as the editors agent, and turned
over to him sufficient cash to pay for
