Question 1.—Which pays best for til
izing with home manures or with corn
mercial fertilizers?
Answer 1. — The advocates of boti
systems bring forward very strong
reasons to support their respective
positions, but the deciding ol
this question, like so many oth
ers in farming, depends in a large de
gree on individual conditions and envi
ronment. Undoubtedly where bott
have to bo bought, commercial fertili
zers yield a better return on the same
amount than the home manure, but if £
farmer is so situated that he can feed
his stock for milk, butter, cheese and
beef, he can, at the same time, produce
manures of the highest value, and thus
utilize every product of the farm tc
the very best advantage. It is ou the
same principle that the small merchant,
by selling on a strictly cash basis, is en
abled to turn his capital over and over,
and realize a larger interest on a small
er investment than his more wealthy
neighbor who takes the risks of long
time and doubtful collections. We have
always maintained that the use of farm
yard manure and fertilizers should gc
hand in hand. In confirmation of this
position the following from Professor
Brooks, of Amhurst Agricultural col
lege, is pertinent and complete. The
whole question is most interesting, as
well as important, and farmers should
lose no opportunity of gaining informa
tion from every source which may shed
light upon it. Professor Brooks says:
We sometimes road or hear language
which would lead ono to think that in
the minds of soma there exists a notion
that ., , there .. is something of a conflict ba- ,
tween manures and fertilizers. This is
far from my idea upon this question. It
is clearly the part of wisdom, first, tc
make the utmost of home resources.
There may be crops or there may be
soils or fields for which, under certain
circumstances, it is preferable to use
fertilisers rather than manures; aud, of
course., when one must purchase the
elements of fertility it is an important
question whether they can be more
cheaply obtain >d in manure or fertil-
in favor of the latter; but these facts
really indicate no necessary conflict be
tween the two classes of materials.
There is clearly room enough for both.
Upon most of our farms the supply of
manure is insufficient. The majority
of farmers use some fertilizer. It is
generally wise for the ordinary crop of
the farm to use these in connection
with each other, rather than separately.
The physical effect of the manure is
generally desirable, and cannot be ob
taine.l by the use of fertilizers. It pre
vents in a manure the cohesion of the
particles in h -nvy clay and thus lessens
the probability of baking and cracking,
and it seems to increase the capacity of
the lighter sods for moisture. The con
stituents of manure are also in many
cases less promptly available than in
fertilizers. It is desirable to employ
the latter to give the crop a quick start.
And finally, t ie manure i; more com
plete in its composition than the fertil
izer. The m.mure replaces at least in
part, the soda, magnesia, silica, etc ,
removed in crops, while most fertilizers
do not. We m iv, it is true, raise crops
for many years by supplying the three
eleni mts. nitrogen, phosphoric acid awl
p it.isli (in a leucaliy lime is applied with
the phosphate),
Law cs and Gilbert have raised wheat
50 con iecative years on the same land
on ammonia salts, superphosphate and
sulphate of potash; an l at tli; present
time the yiehl is n '.ir.y as great on this
land as on that which has received 14
tons yearly of farmyard manure for the
same length of time; but the yield on
the fertilizers now begins to show a
tendency to fall off, and there can bo
no doubt that the more complete com
position of the manure is proving an
advantage. OL course, in such mate
rials as common salt, sulphate of mag
nesia. etc., we may replace, if consid
ered desirable, the soda, magnesia, etc.,
carried off in the crops, but even such
replacement would leave us without the
physical effect of manure—an effect
which we may, it is true, in part secure
by turning in a green crop. Under
many systems of cropping, however,
green manuring is inexpedient.
