FRESH VS. ROTTED MANURE.
Most people have an idea that.
rotted manure is 'a .much more valu-
able fertilizer than Manure fresh.
from the barns or yards, This.
idea prevails because of the heavy,
compact .nature of the rotted ma-
nure. The value of manure is de-
termined by the amount of various,
elements of fertility contained
therein, These elements are main-
ly nitrogen, phosphoric acid . and
potash. 'They are usually figured
at fifteen cents, six cents and five
cents per. pound respectively. • On.
this basis a ton of fresh barnyard
manure is worth $1.98. A ton of
rotted rnanu e is worth $2.04, or'
only six cents more. When the fact.
is considered that it takes nearly
tW'o tons of fresh barnyard manure,
to make one ton of rotted manure,
owing to the loss from evaporation
and leaching, it can be seen that.
much of the fertilizing matter ori-
ginally` contained is lost in the rot-
ting process.
• A report gives some interesting:
observations on the experimental.
use of fresh and rotted manure.
Both were used on the Corn and
wheat crops, in comparison with
unmanured land. The yield of corn
on unmanured land was 38.1 bush-
els per acre. On land dressed with
rotted manure, a yield of 65.1 bush-
els was secured ; and where fresh.
manure was applied, the yield was
70.7 bushels per acre. The increas-
ed yield of corn from the use of •
rutted manure .'-'was 27.6 bushels,
and from the use of fresh manure
32.6 bushels, an increase of five
bushels per acre in favor of the
fresh, manure. On the wheat crop
the effect was similar, though not
so marked. On the unmanured
land, the wheat yielded 16.1 bush-
els per acre ; where rotted manure
was used, ]9.1 bushels ; and on the
manure,
land dressed with fresh roan ,
19.7 bushels per acre were secured-
The increase in favor of the fresh
manure was only six -tenths bush-
el per acre on the wheat crop.
'While the increased returns are
comparatively small in both case'
it illustrates clearly the fact .;thati
fresh unwire is at least as gtltitl as
the rotted manure, and for some
crops even better- The preVentio i
of loss by leaching and in the rot-
ted ted process should be kept in
and the saving in labor by app4 '^
ing manure fresh from the barns,;
"" worthy of consideration. It should
not be understood that the coarse,
fresh barnyard manure is adapted
to all crops. It would not be suit-
able for certain forms of garden'.
and vegetable crops; and even for
the small grains, on light soil. it
probably would not give as good
results as the rotted manure. Where.
manure is applied as it should be,
however, on the grass land or just
ahead of the corn crop in rotation,
the coarse, fresh manure is better
adapted to the succeeding crop than
the rotted manure. The heat, and
the effect of the acids developed in
the process of decomposition, aid
greatly in liberating plant food and
result in greater crop yields.
Some objections may be made on
the score that weed seeds or pos-
sibly plant diseases are spread with
the unrotted manure.. Where ap-
plied as suggested above, however,
face to mine and I was startled by its
awful, pallor."
"'Excitement is more to inc that} the
air I breathe,' she said, 'it keens me alive.
If I were to 110 quiet I should soon die;'
and that is • the saddest confession I have
ever heard. from a young girl's lips. I
can understand people almost without a
soul, people weighed down by remorse,
leading such a life, but a young girl. like
Irene, ought to find life pleasant enough
without it. Sae cannot have had any love
affairs or 1 should have heard of them.
Irene has never had a lover, I am sure;
indeed, she cannot tolerate the idea of
one."
"Most young girls like plenty of lov-
ers,"
ot
ers," laughed the duke.
"Not so Irene," replied the duchess; "I
spoke to her recently of the probability
of her marrying before the season was
well over, and she threw herself fneo my
arms with a cry that startled me."
" 'Never mention lovers or—or--marri-
age to lee, dear duchess," she sobbed, 'I
cannot endure it. I—I-•shall not marry--"
The duke laughed. "Do not pin your
faith on that remark," he said, looking
smilingly down into the duchess' grave
thoughtful face;"depend upon ft, Irene
will not say that when the right one
comes along. Do you know I had the
idea that she fanciers my nephew when

"and at'the end of that time I can but
die.,,
To the duchess' dismay, Irene plunged
body and soul, as it were, into the whirl
of gayety, going from one extreme to •the
other, without cessation.
"I do not like this change in Irene,"
said the duchess to her husband one day;
"the girl is literally wearing herself out.
