Farm Manuraa.

A recent bulletin of the Missouri
Agricultural Experiment Station deals
with soil fertility, and the production,
preservation and use of farm Eaanures.
1t is estimated that the manure pro-
duced each year by the farm animals
of the United States is worth the
enormous sum of o., ,O00, 900, 900. On the
same basls, the value of the manure
execrated by the farm animals in Mis-
souri, each year would amount to $3.50,
900, 900. This estimate for Missouri is
probably too high, since relatively
smaller quantity OF foods producing
rich manure, such as cotton seed meal,
linseed meal, wheat bran, etc., are fed
in Missouri than In most of the east
ern and northern states. The value
of this product of the farm Is large
enough, however, to warrant our
most serious attention and to justify
the employment of such measures as
are necessary to preserve without
waste and apply in the best manner
ali tuC LduufC5 pTOduCOus
Fully one-half of the manure pro-
duced in Missouri is wasted, which
according to the foregoing estimate
means a loss to the farmers of this
State from this source alone of $75,
000, 900.
The manure from young, growing
animals is less valuable than from
mature ones, the food being the same.
Full grown animals not gaining in
weight throw off in the dung and urine
practically all the fertilizing constit-
uents taken into the body. In milch
cows and growing animals from ONE
half to three-fourths of the fertilizing
constituents of the food passes into
the manure. In fattening or working
animals it is from 80 to 95 per cent.
The value of the manure is more
dependent upon the kind of food con-
sumed than upon the age of the ami
NAL; for example, animals fed on cot
ton seed meal, linseed meal, wheat
bran, clover hay or blue grass, will
produce a manure very much richer
than when fed on corn, oats or tim
othy hay. The passing of the food
through the animal adds nothing to its
fertilizing value except to render it's
ingredients somewhat more readily
available to the plants.
Soures of loss are faulty methods of
feeding; improper arrangement of
pastures and feed lots; from allowing
the manure to stand in piles in the
barn yard or in the field, where 1t fer
ments too rapidly; the waste of the
liquid manure. AS rule the manure
should be hauled direct from the barn
to the field and spread. Nothing is
added to manure by allowing it to rot
in piles, and much is likely to be lost
by this process.
