the stable, Z pounds of phosphoric
acid would be added, making the per-
than that of the nitrogen and the pot
ash. A better balance is given to the
fertility. There cannot be any loss
in this purchased plant-food if the
stable floor is tight. Fermentation
cannot drive it off, and when applied
to the soil it is tightly held. Practi-
cally no phosphoric acid is found in
!rainage waters. Eight tons of manure
thus REINFORCED would contain the
same amount of plant-food as a ton
of fertilizer having per cent nitro
gen, 5 per cent phosphoric acid, and
per cent potash. The addition of the
so pounds of acid phosphate per ton
does not bring the phospboric acid
content up as high relatively as in
most commercial fertilizers, but it
helps. The total amount in the tons
IldhulC may NC ouhlSlCht, anu IlC
greater part of the total has sufficient
ly immediate availability, while the
manure must undergo decomposition,
and some of the nitrogen and potash
does not become available within the
year.
Durability of Manure
Tests of the durability of manure
in the soil involve some certain factors,
but we are interested only in the eff
fects of applications. These effects
may continue for long term of years,
and an example will illustrate. Land
may be too infertile to make a good
clover sod. If a good dressing of
manure be given half the land, afford
ing proper conditions for making a
sod, the result will be heavy growth
of clover, while the seeding on the
unmanured half will be nearly fail
ure. If no manure or fertilizer be
used in the crop rotation, the proba-
bility is the MANFRED portion of the
field will make a fairly good sod.
How much this success may be due
to the remains of the manure, and
how much is attributable to the effect
of the clover and to better bacterial
life introduced and favored by the ma
nure, no one knows. Probably the
greater part of the benefit comes only
indirectly from the manure applied
three or four years previously. Hall
of the field may thus be lifted out of a
helpless state and remain out of it for
long term of years, while the other
half grows only poorer. A probable
ILLUSTRATION of this lasting indirect eff
feet may be seen in one of the plat5
in the soil fertility experiments on
the PENNSYLVANIA experiment station

Experiments at the Rothamstead sta
ton, England, show some lasting re-
suits from applications of manure.
