FERTILIZER FROM RGGsTS.
Scientific Tests to Ascertain Value o!
Poultry Droppinqs,

Scientific Tests to Ascertain Value o!
Poultry Droppings.
The average farmer does not appre.
ciate as he should the value Of the
fertilizer made by poultry. This may
be mainly due to the fact that many
times it is not properly stored, SO that
much Of its chemical constituent ma.
terial is lost.
Professor Morse of the New Hamp.
shire experiment station, after refer
ring to the loss of fertilizer value and
answering the question how best to re-
tain it, says the best materials for this
purpose are gypsum or land plaster,
acid phosphate and kainit, cheap
potash salt. Each Of these chemicals
has the power to form new compounds
with the ammonia as fast as it is sci
free from the original combination.
Wood ashes. and Aaked lime should
never be used, because they cannot
combine with ammonia, while they do
force it out Of it's compounds and take
it's place. Plaster is apt to produce
dry, lumpy mixture when used in large
enough quantities to arrest the ammo
mia, while kainit and acid phosphate
produce the opposite effect Of moist,
sticky mass. 900
Bulletin SO of the Maine experiment
station says that, using their results
as basis Of calculation, the weekly
droppingS Of flock Of twenty-five
hens when scraped from the roosting
platform should be mixed with about
eight pounds of kainit or acid phos-
pIate and half peck of sawdust. II
| one desires a balanced fertilizer for
corn and other hoed crops a mixture
of equal parts of kainit and acid phos-
phate could be used instead of either
alone The same authority tells us
that good dry meadow muck or peat
would bevequally as good as sawdust,
If not better, to use as an absorbent"
Fresh poultry manure at the present
values Of fertilizers would be worth
60 cents per hundred pounds Figures
from different experiment stations
would giye the product Of twenty-five
hens for the winter season of six
months as '375 pounds for the roost
droppings only. $ Itf
v Poultry manure is especially adapted
as top dressing for grass because of
Its high content Of nitrogen In the form
Of ammonia compounds, which are
nearly as quick In their effect as nj
trate of soda. A ton Of the manure
preserved with sawdust and chemicals
would be sufficient for an acre when
compared with chemical formula for
top dressing
|c9On the same basis Of comparison 100
fowls running at large on an acre
should In "a summer season Of six
months have added to its fertility the
equivalent Of at least 200 pounds of
sulphatei Of ammonia, 100 pounds of
high. grade acid phosphate and sixty
pounds Of kainit.
