Manures.
Any substance applied to land that af
fords nutrime .t to crops corner under the
head of manure. It matters not whether
the subdance contains only one of toe
fourteen e-sential elements of growth or
contains all of them that it is po.-sible for
any single substance to contain, it is ma
nure. Manure and fertilizer are synonmcus
terms, and there is no need for making one
stand for cer:aia materials that the other
does not Include. Tne disposition to do
this is indicated by the answer made by a
fairly intelligent farmer recently to the
question whether he used any fert lizer on
his crop, and he replied “N >; he only used
home-made manure.” With him, as with
many others, manure substances that came
in bags ad barrels, the commercial kiud,
was “fertilizer,” while stable and other or
ganic matter was “manure.”
Nearly all farmers who read agricultural
papers intelligently understand by now
that of the fourteen different elements that
enter into organic matter, it is necessary to
supply only three of them to worn land to
enable it to make good crops, and these are
potasb, phosphoric acid and nitrogen.
In making this statement a very import
ant explanation is always called for in order
to properly understand the true principles
of fertility and plant life. It is very gen
erally neglected by agricultural writers,
and the result is the undiscriminating
reader is left under the impression that only
these three elements are really essential to
plant growth. One may apply nitrogen,
potash and phosphoric acid to soil that is
utterly destitute of humus and fail to get a
profitable crop. The presence of humus in
the soil impiiei a presence of the other ele
ments that are also indispensable to plant
growth.
Nitrogren, in its last analysis, is the same
thing, whatever the substance that may af
ford it, whether this be stable manure, cow
manure or other animal ma ter, cotton seed,
nitrate of soda, sulphate of ammonia,
dried blood, guano or raw bone, etc.
The phosphoric acid in like manner is
identical in the various substances—bone
dust, “acid phosphate,” “hullash,” and the
like.
And potash in kainit, muriate potash,
wood ash, cotton seed ash is the same.
The question with the farmer is to get
the largest amount of these principal ele
ments for the smallest am >unt of money.
The practical farmer of long experience
is not dependant upon the teach ngs of
science to enable him to appreciate the
practical value of certain substances for the
purpose of manure. The liquid and solid
excrement of the horse is now what it has
been for all time —a complete and reliable
manure, being good or batter just in pro
portion to the richness of the food con
sumed by the animal. It is the same, he
knows, with the manure of cattle, poultry,
etc.
He has a practical knowledge of the fact
that bones of all animals when ground or
crushed into fine particles is one of the
very best manures that he can possibly get.
It is not necessary to profitable results for
him to know just how much nitrogen and
phosphoric acid is contained ia the bone.
Tho same practical farmer knows that hard
wood ashes especially are rich in potash,
and that they make a good manure for his
grass and root crops. Practical experience
taught him that cotton seed was a go and
manure long before he heard that science
had recommended it highly for the pur
pose.
Cattle fed on cotton seed meal, wheat
bran, and pea and corn meal produce a
much better quality of manure than cattle
that get their living off of poor pastures
and inferior hay. The first quality may be
worth intrinsically three or four times as
much as the latter. The same is true of
stable manure. A horse or mule that is fed
on corn and oats and good hay produces
manure worth much more than that that is
made from pasture and poor fodder.
A fair quality of stable manure is found
to contain about three-fourths of one per
cent, of ammonia. This is the chief ele
ment of value in stable manure, though it
contains in small quantities all the other
elements of nutrition. It is therefore a
“complete manure.” But when copiously
applied to Imd to make crops that are
grown for their seed it is always an advant
age to supply an additional quantity of the
two principal mineral elements—potash and
phosphoric acid, especially the latter.
No farmer yet ever had too much ma
nure, and the reason why such a large trade
has been built up in commercial manures
arises from the fact that it is impossible for
any farmer in the older sections of a country
to make anything like the quantity that he
can use profitably. Of course no farmer
should roso. t to t is kind until he has util
ized all that he has made or can make on his
fa: m. He should see to it that his horses
and mules and cattle make him all the ma
nure that it is possible for them to make
with the aid of proper bed ling, saving the
liquid portion, which is as valuable as the
solid part.
Humus—The Real Basis of Fertility.
Intelligent farmers understand very well
that a soil destitute of humus cannot be
made to produce profitable crops even when
commercial fertilizers are liberally supplied
to it.
This humus or vegetable mold is simply
woody fibre, or organic matter, that has be
come decomposed in the soil. It matters
not what form of vegetable m itter com
posed it so it was decomposed in tho soil.
Undecompossd vegetable matter is not to be
considered ns humus.
No valuable plants began to grow on the
earth, probably, until the soil had gradually
been furnished with vegetable mold by the
decay of those inferior plants that attained
their stunted development on the mineral
elements afforded by the disintegrating
rock. Woody tire consists of carbon, nltro
gren, hydrogen and oxygeu, the latter two
being the elements of water, and there is
always present in all vegetable matter a
small proportion of the various mineral
elements which are given back to the soil,
\yhen the matter becomes decomposed.
liuinus does not enter into plaut growth
as humus, but its different element* supply
toed to plants, vegetable mat er in its do
cotn|v*ition becomes a storehouse for car
bonic acid, the form in which plants derive
their carbon.
It is also the medium through which they
receive a great part of their nitrogen.
“Humus a ts,” says Llebg, ‘ in the seme
manner ia a soil purauaUe to air as in the
air itself; it is a eontinous source of car
boric acid, which it emits verv slowly. An
atmosphere of carbonic acid formed at the
expease of theair su rounds every particle
fodecaying humus. The cultivation of land
by loosening the soil causes free and unob
structed access of air. An atmosphere of
carbonic ac.d is therefore contained in every
fertile soil, and is the first and most import
ant food for the young plants which grow
in it.”
Upon this action of humus rests its chief
value. Unless carbonic acid and ammonia
are in the soil in proper quantity profitable
crops need not be expected from it. The
little of these derived f am the atmosphere
if any such is utilized goes a very little w ay
toward making a crop. Any experienced
farmer who has intelligently observed ao
preciates this. We may supply commer
cial fertilizers to soils that contain no
humus and yet produce no profitable cron,
for, as remarked, carbonic acid is the chief
requisite in the growth of plants, and this
commercial fertilizers do not supply either
directly or indirectly.
Stable manure is the only humus-provid
ing fertilizer that is generally availble for
farm use, but no farmer ever had enough
of it to make it act the part of a humus
provider to the extent of his needs.
Experience in this country, as well as in
older countries, proves that humus can be
profitably restored to land only by growing
the vegetable mat:or on the land. It can
not be hauled on to the land profitably, as
we would so much manure. Through the
medium of grass and clover, peas and the
like, and stock only, can humus be supplied
on a large scale to worn soils, so as to re
store it rapidly to a fertile condition.
In this section a system of farming that
utilizes the Bermuda and other perennial
grasses, that recognizes tho value of peas
sown by themselves or in the middles of all
cultivated crops as they are laid by is ths
one that can solve the problem of an eco
nomical restoration of humus equal to the
task of restoring our lands.
Such la id as a farmer devotes to culti
vated crops, let the rows on all medium land
bo wido enough to admit a row of peas be
tween as the crop is laid by.
The next year plaut the crop, whatever
it may be, where the peas grow, giving a
row of peas every year.
Alternating in this manner from year to
year a very decided improvement will be
manifested yearly, if a fair amount of ma
nure be applied to the crop. A fair propor
tion of the farm should be devoted to fall
sown oats, rye and barly, allowing the
stubble everysuramer on this part to grow
up weeds which are to be turned under in
the fall. Many prefer to sow this grain
stubble land to peas, and it is well enough
sometimes to do so, but it is not usually tne
most advisable or economical plan, by a
gsod deal. In our hot climate humus is
much more rapidly burnt out than it is in
soils further north where the summers are
shorter, and where the season permits of
only one crop a year. The offect is always
more or less disastrous ween our soil is
freshly turned up in midsummer and ex
posed to the scorching temperature ranging
from 85” to 110°.
The sun’s rays upon the humus is, In a
lesser degree, similar to the effect of fire
heat. This slow burning of humu3, result
ing from heat and moisture, Liebig has
termed “eremacausis,” or slow Burning.
Fire heat dees rapidly what the sun’s rays
and moisture require a longer time to ac
complish. Vegetable matter lift on the sur
face will as surely disappear after a while
through this influence as if it were
burned unless the restoration is more rapid
than the waste, as may occur in forests or
when alluvially deposited.
On account of the decided waste of hu
mus, when the soil is freshly exposed in mid
summer, we have held for years that it was
not true economy to plow it then, but lot
the grain stubble grow up in weeds to sup
ply the necessary humus. We hold this
more emphatically, as experience and ob
servation are enlarged. Ths midsummer
turning can be justified only when the ob
ject is to plant a quick growing plant, like
peas, that will soon shade the land, and the
vegetable matter resulting be given to the
land, taking from it only the pea seed made
by the crop. The farmer that would keep
his land as a paying investment should un
derstand how important the question of hu
mus is to the well being of that land.
8. A. U.
The Grape Diseases.
After the late meeting of the New Jersey
State Horticultural Society, Mr. Pears n,
whose labors in the trial of the B irdeai
mixture and eatl celeste in connection with
the mildew and rot of grape vines, claims
their efficiency in the destruction of these
fungi, if applied properly and sufficiently
often. “The Bordeaux mixture has proved
entirely effective, if not as a remedy, at
least as a preventive. Some of his neigh
bors tried it, but on investigation he found
they had used copperas (sulphate of iron)
instead of sulphate of copper (blue stone).
There can be no more doubt about this mat
ter. The spores of the diseases will not ger
minate in the presence of the minutest
quantity of copper sulphate. When oncoin
the tissue, however, they are safe. There
are some “ifs.” If rains w ish off the ap
plication, and the plants are left without
protection even for a few hours while the
atmosphere is filled with spores, these will
find a foothold on the plants and remain
there.
“Soma people saved their grapes by these
applications, but they put the remedies on
in such a way that the latter, adhering to
the fruit, spoiled its appearance. The mix
tures in such case can be got off the grapes
by dipping them in a weak solutio l of vine
gar, and in clear water afterward. The
fruit can also be cleaned by spraying it with
a solution of one pint of sulphuric acid to
forty gallons of water.”
The formula for making the Bordeaux
mixture, as used by him, is as follows:
Dissolve 6 pounds of pulverized copper
sulphate in 2 gallons of hot water. In an
other vessel slake 4 pounds of fresh lime in
20 gallons of cold water. Let the lime settle,
draw off the clear llmewater, and mix with
the copper sulphcte solution. The ammo
niacal carbonate of copper solution is pre
pared by dissolving 3 ounces of carb na e
of copper in 1 quart of ammoniacal
liquor, and dilute with 22 gallons of cold
water.
The objection that those remedies are
poisonous, and possibly Injurious to tbs con
sumer of grapes, Mr. Pearson m-t by sayi ig
that a person would have to eat about one
ton of truit to eat tw grains of copper
sulpnate, and more than this is frequently
given by physician at a single dose.
Notwithstanding tb* very decided post
ttou of Mr, Pearson, we must bold t iat

grapes. They will have a mussel, cloudy
appearance, an i purchasers will quickly
come to under* and the character of the
fruit, and give it the cold shoulder. Tue
peculiar weather conditions that have pre
vailed the past year, an i w.nch appsreutly
are to continue throughout this season,
whereby a high temperature, combined with
an unusual anoint of moisture, have been
exceedingly favorable to the germination,
propagation and spread of the fungi which
injure the grapes. This peculiar weather
will in time pass away, when the causes of
it shall also have disappeared, and with a
return to normal climatic conditions those
localities at the north which have hereto
fore been emexpt from these vino dis uses
will, without doubt, again be free from
them. At the south they have always pre
vailed, more or loss, and probably always
will.
But, in the moantime, what can we do
with the preventive remedies to help our
selves? We can use them early in the sea
son on the nakei vines, and up to the time
the vines come into bloom; this will have
some effect; their further use is a choice of
evils, and each one must select his course for
himself.
Cotton Seed Meal and Hulls.
It is well for every farmer to understand
the qualities of these two materials as food
for cattle or as fertilizers for land.
A ton of cotton seed meal contains from
140 to 16) pounds of ammonia, 50 to 55
pounds of phosphoric acid and 25 to 30
pounds of potash.
A ton of the hulls contains 5 pounds of
ammonia, 5 pounds of phosphoric acid and
about 17 pounds of potash.
The ton of meal has about 30 times more
ammonia, 10 times more phosphoric acid
and nearly two tini’S more potash than the
hulls. To equal 250 pounds of the meal as a
ferti izer it would require, taking ammonia
as a basis of comparison, nearly, if not
fully 8,000 pounds (or 4 tons) of hulls.
With phosphoric acid as a comparison it
would require three thousand pounds (I}£
ton) of hulls to supply the same quantity
of phosphoric acid furnished by 250 pounds
of meal.
Comparing the two in respect to potash,
250 pounds of the meal affords the same
quantity of alkali t iat is contained in 442
pounds of hulls. There is as much potash
in 150 pouuds of kainit as there is in 2,000
pounds of cotton seed hulls (dry hulls as, it
comes from tho mill.)
Two hundred pounds of a first class acid
phosphate affords as much available phos
phoric acid as is contained in 1,100 pounds
of hulls (allowing that all the phosphoric
acid in tho hulls is “uvailablo.”)
Tnkisig the commercial vaiueof ammonia
at 14 ceuts per pound, a ton cf first quality
cotton seed meal is worth s2l 00 for this
ingredient alone, without counting the 50
pounds of phosphoric acid, worth $2 51 to
$3, aud the 25 pouuds of potash, worth
$1 25.
These comparisons, based on recent
anulysos, are carefully made aid may bo
replied on as approximately correct. Farm
ers can draw their own conclusions as to
the advisability of choosing either material
to furnish any of the three valuable ele
ments.
The oil mills frequently, if not usually,
burn the hulls. The ashos that are left are
a very valuable fertilizer —mineral fertili
zer. A ton of the dry ashes contain 115 to
12) pounds of phosphoric acid and nearly
400 pounds of potash—6 to 7 pßr cant, more
of potash than is contained in a good sam
ple of kainit and nearly half as much phos
phoric acid as is contained in good acid
phosphate. Of course there is no ammonia
in the ashes.
Farm and Stock Notea.
It is much better to cultivate ten acro3
than it is to half do twenty.
Raspberries are very partial to manure,
and no crop responds better to a free appli
cation of manure and fertilizers. Size aud
quality largely depend on the manure and
cultivation given tho crop in the early part
of the season.
Nino cases out of ten, where a variety of
fruit which once fl ourished in a given soil
has ceased to flourish and perfect fine fruit
there, the change is duo to the fact that the
soil has become destitute of the necessary
mineral manure.
The amount of solid and liquid excrement
voide 1 in twenty-fours hours by a horse, as
found by the Cor ell professors, is but a
little less than fitty-seven pounds. The
horses woiehod about 1,0)0 pounds each,and
were fed liberally of oats and hay.
A 15-milo journey is an average day’s
work for a horse. How far does the
cw travel in a poor pasture, nipping a
penny-wei ht of grass here and there, to
got her daily ra ion? Then she is expected
to pay for is through the milk pail.
Popular Science.
An electrical instrument has been in
vented wtlieh is designed to remove the
pain incidental to tho extraction of teeth.
It consists of adjustable, pivo ally con
nected prongs currying buttons and con
nected with an elec icul battery, the but
tons being placed on the face over the
nerves leading from the teeth to the brain,
and a circuit establised the moment the
tooth-extracting instrument touches the
tooth to be removed.
It is not generally known that common
salt is an admirable remedy for neuralgia.
Dr. George Leslie gives details of thirty or
for forty cases of facial and other neuralgia,
odontalgia, etc., which have been cured, in
m >st instances instantaneously, by the in
suffl ition of com non salt. The salt was
either "snuffed” or blown up the nostril*.
He said he had been unsuccessful in only
two cases; both of these were cases of old
standing, which had been treated frequent
ly by morphine injections.
