Liquid Excrement

IIow strangoly we ovorlook tho value of tho liquid excrement of our aninials ! A cow, under ordinary feeding, furnishes in a year 120,000 pounds of solid excrement and about 8,000 pounds of Hquid. Tho comparativo inoney valuo of the two is but slightly in favor of the solid. This statement has been verified as a truth over and over again. The urine of herbivorous animáis holds aearly all the snerotions of tho body which are capablo of aroonring tho rich nitrogenous compounds ntial as forcing or leaf-formiag ageuls in tho growth of plants. The sol id holds the phosphoric acid, tho limo and magnesia, wnioh go to tho eeds princi:.i]y; but the liquid, nitrogen, ]i xnd soda, is noedcd in forming tho stuik and leaves. The two forms of plant nu.linient should never be ■ or allowed to bo wasted by negloct. Tho farmer who siives all the urine of hisan doublcs his manurial resources oveiy year. Gooa aeaSonéS peat is of imn servid to farmers when used as an absoi bent, and the stalls for animáis should bo so constructed as to admit of a wide piissage-room for poat, to be used daily with tho excrement. - livtioii Journal of ly.
