Acid Phosphate is Best Manure Preservative. A recent bulletin from the New York Experiment Station, Geneva, gives .results of :t„ests, with various ma- teriels for preeerving manure. The results'show, to the eabisfaation of the station, at least, that the only ma- terial to use is ae d phosphate. The materials compared were straw, peat, acid phosphate, rock phosphate and gypsum. "Moet manure preservativesareof little value in checking loss of nitro- gen," the station advises. "In the tests the amount.' of nitrogen lost' ranged from 15 per cent., for manure treated with acid phosphate, to fifty- one per eent. for untreated manure." Immedialte application of the preser- vative is advised, even if the manure is to be hauled to the field as seen as voided. It is suggested that two hand- fuls of acid phosphate be scattered in each horse stall every day, so that the horses will trample it into the manure. Wheat straw was found to be detri- mental to manure, Where the straw was added to manure applied to grow- ing crops, a dertiesentalt effect was noted, as compared with results from fresh manure alone.. The station does not explain why this is true, So far as the tests have gone, it seems that the best results will be se- cured where acid phosphate Is mixed with the manure as soon as it is voided and the mixture stored in a covered shed or pit until such time ass it can be conveniently spread on the field, A Labor.
