M4NURE8 AND MANURING.
(T. C. Wellitee, Jilefore tbe Ontario
Beal:ears' Institute.)
(Continued front lad lam.)
Manuring is actually cultivation.
)(tenure; is labor. So working the *011
an to set tree atone of the store of
locked up fertility is rational work.
Iteturalng to the soil a vernal, at
leasin of the material we remove by.
cropping and grazing. is aloo rational
work, but only a branch of the werkl.
Treating the 6011 tut a receptacle or
storehouse into which we undertake to
put a dollar's wortls of otuff to get a
doller'e worth out, and strugglieg. in
a bargain to obtain that Ara dollar
worth for fifty or seventy-five cents,
to that we may mere a profit on oar
labor, la neither rational or buoiness
like. Such lottery with nature la un-
worthy of the boasted agricultural in-
telligence of tbe closing days of the
nineteenth century.
Let us, haweVer, now look closely at
the general result of stock feeding on
our lan(4. We find the results are
gain.; up to a certain point. It was
certainly better than grain growing as
describisd. But,had we understood
the true function of clover as a' man-
ure as we do. to -day, We iniglit have
Carried on the grain growing pretty
successfulV without stock, .and per-
haps more ouccesofully than we have
dorm it witin stock. But we certainly
obtained a better. condition' (of the Boil
by having the animal Manure' for ottr
lands. The animals fed on the forret
return us most of the potash and most
QX the nitrogen whioli•they take with
theid. feed, but they return us actually
pone of the phosphoric acid they take
except such portions as they fail to
digest. ' They take it to build their
bone, their nerve force, their ripening,
and their powers of reproduction. And
so like the grain and nearly every oth-
er living thing we have to deal with,
except the 'birds, our domestic animals
drainthe phosphate from the soil. DO
not d,eceive yourselvea' with the false
theory that after their young bens is
• buzlt they then return the ,phosphate,
No such thing occurs, and in fact the
actual 'necessity for phosphate becomes
greater as ripening or, age, advances,;
of course within the limits of the pro-
ducing -period, after which animals are
not usually kept. It is sonietiMss mat
tended that this, drain of Phesphoric
ncid can be prevented by feeding t.,on-

has taken up this inquiry. in a scienti-
fic' spirit, and after pointing out what
may be desmibed as national diseases,
based upon lack of proper foodemisase
of poisonous substances, misdirection
of the mental and physical powers,
etc., he concludes that, barring some
deadly blow. from without, which
wade correspond with a fatal accident
in the ease of an individual, there is
no reason wby a natien might not pre -
long :its existence' indefinitely. But

ANIMATED MANURE FACTORIES.
This is blind practice.It-is a frantic
endeavor to fit the animal to the land
instead of adapting the land to our re-
quirements. It is. wasting energy,
whieb can be moreprofitably applied
to filling .the pail in -making beef, mut- I

practice whoih causes so mach diver-
sity of opinion and almost annually the
changing of methods of cropping, cut-
tivatuag and harvesting ,our croPs, to
trY and fit them to the gradually, but
surelY, changing conditions of our
lands. -Throwing the blam,e on Provid-
ence and ascribing our difficulties to
"climate -changing" must stop some-
where, and the sooner the better.
When farmers realize that they Must
stud* their soils and adopt means to
restore them, .at least to a condition
of "virgin fertility," many of the in-
genious plans and contrivances whidla
make their lives miserable will pass in-
to ancient history and the mutieura.

'inwardness of manuring as tha tounda-
lion of the :whole agricultural striiii-
Lure we will no me the boys, crowding
to the cities and leaving the noblest
and surest of alt callings for the un-
certainties of trade and. commerce.
We may inquire tiow what Indies -
tions there are of the wailing fertility
through the described de:Z*1161ton of
the phosphatic heart in the land.. it
I seem to lay stress on this want of
phosphate without good and sufficient
reasot. I mat Well be condemned, but
there are signs which he who. runs'
" read) and those Who desire to un-
derstand must throw away their Break -
ed &dime and raise themselves to 'a
nigher plane Of thought, and the ego -
1st must.lay aside his scepticisms. It
gives me pleasure to be able to my
that I find mest farmers thoughtful
and anxious for information on this
subject, though naturally timid in etc-'
cepting what to them at tint seems a
theory, but to that class of people who
doubt everything but their own exist-
ence, and reborn 1 chow to designate
as egoists, I make no appeal.
The signs most noti.:eable are per-
haps, first, a hankering after bones
and rotten wood by the pews.
We also know how unsatisfactory
bones are as a food for cows, and we
ask why do these animals whose stom-
ach acids cannot dissolve bones Wake
such frantic efforts to eat unnatural
food
I Will answer you in the Nehmen%
way* ' by usking anotheLJ question.
What is bone? And I must an-
swer my own queetion.• it is largely
phosphate of lime. The animal then
wants phosphorte acid, the aative pan-
eiple of bone. Have you ever seen the
phosphatic light on an oid dead log in
the woods after rain Of course you
bave I There again is the reeks the
cow eats the dead wood -because of
the development of phosphorous.
The vreak-kneed pig fed on food
wanting in phoaphoric aid is another
sign, and so its the old sou?' savagely de-
vouring her young.
The loses of fertility in 'etock, the pre-
valence to disease, at, for instance,
abortion and tuberculosis, are signs.
The giving way of the teeth in the
human race again points the way.
The changing of clover!, frozti rich,
digestible fodder to tough, berbaceoutt
stuff only lit for rope, is anther sign.
The softening grain, and tbe soft,
yielding show is still an inditation.
The clover eiCkilese, Vadat I have omen,
has the tom of phosphatie fertility for
its prime cause. The opread of disease
