OX SAVING LIQUID MANURE,
ly Mr. Matthew Marmaduke Milhurn,
Thropefield, Thrisk, Yorkshire.
It i? an unaccountable circumstance,
hat while ninny thousands of pounds are
early expended by the agriculturists of
ireal Britain in the purchase of artificial
nd extraneous manures, so little attenion
is paid to the collecting, preparing,
nd using of that which is always within
heir reach. There can be little doubt,
hat, in one sha|?e or another, as miicn a.
ailahie manure is actually wasted and
Ml, as would have, if applied to the land,
ave an etfcct equal to the whole of tlio
borrvs, rap&ftust, &c., which are
nnually purchased.
With very few exceptions, the generally
of farmers allow the whole of the urine
lade by their stock, the drainage of the
old-yards, and the liquid from the mixns,
(dung.hills,) to run down some sewer I
t d enrich the rank grass and wee Is
/nich it approaches, or run into some disant
river.
The writer of this re|>ort had his atten.
ion directed to the utility of liquid ma
mre from the following circumstance:
?The liquid from the fold yard?which
y the wuy w >s originally a quadrangular
ourt.yurd, is entirely paved, and lie* ra. I
her high?ran for several years down !
n o|?en drain belonging to an adjoining j
leighbor. For a considerable period the
- wer was not cleaned nut, and in conse.
jiience of the yard.drains being partly
locked, up perm.Ksion was asked to clean
ut the newer. The contents, after l?e.
ng allowed to dry, were put ii|>on a light
>oor, sandy soil, as a dressing for autum.
ial sown tares The consequence was,
hat though the soil had grown, compare*
ivel\, nothing for a long time, such n
rop of tares was obtained as is seldom
witnessed. The same piece was sown
nth tares the following year,?contrary,'
t will perhaps tie said, to good farming,
?and another beautiful crop was obtain,
d. indeed the power oftho sewer clear,
ngs seeined to be double that of terinen.
ed farm.yard manure; and peculiarly a.
laptcd to promote the full development
nd vigorous vegetation of the plants.
The next object of the writer was to
five a portion at least of tllis fertiliing
mixture, and he determined upon
lie construction of a tank to collect a
nurture so valuable. There were one or
wo slight difficulties to encounter,?first
he situation of the farmstead was a dead
fvel, and continued to lie so for several
inndrcd yards from the premises; and, in
he next place, the soil and subsoil were
xcoeduigly porous, and at some depth
print* v. These difficulties ere, howev.
r, ovcrc une, and a liiil year's experience
>f the effects of the application has been
i?id.
in order to methodize, he will treat
unaratelv of the nature ofthe liquid ata
mrc, of the mode of it.s application, of
he effects produced, and of the construeion
of tanks and other receptacles for
nving it.
The liquid manure which the writer
ias applied consists of the drainage from
he cow.house, calf-hnuse, pig.cot, and
old-yard. Grat-a are placed in the difirent
places whence it is derived, and un.
le.r-drains to convey the liquor to the
a -.k The cows ate principally store
i n una Is, fed on turnips, with a little hav
it night; the calves are fed on turnips,
inseed.cake, or porridge and hav; u,e
>?j.s are fattening ones, fed principally
m barley.meal; and the fold-yard ias in
t the dung from every kind of stock;
Hisides, a lew store cattle and pigs are
wpt in it. The dung is mixed indiscriminately.
and remainsn few weeks previously
to its heing carted to the mixen.

are not spouted, a great qunntii

jecnmposed straw passes off with the
Irainnge. The writer is not sure wheth-,
?r this is as rich as the urine and such
parts of the dung as it carries in solution
from the interior of the buildings; hut it
is ii valuable manure which would other,
aise he lost, and. were it not in any wnv
ipplied to the land, would he entirely wasled.
Complaints have been made of* the
dose drains stopping up with residuum.
Mine are perfectly open. Stopping arises
either from the under drians not having
aitfe*iclit fall, or from the tank not being
imiptierl as soon as it is full.
In a dry season, of course, less drain,
ngc proceeds from the fold.yard, but it
makes no difference as respects the drain,
nnr*. from the huildi.urs : and in the latter
" > * o ?
ca (lie fermentation of the liquid manure
proceeds much more rapidly than
when there is mere drainage from the
fold.yard.
When the temperature is not too low, a
white creamy fluid covers the surface of
the liquor in the tanktand a black sedi.
uieiii subsides to the bottom. This indicates
the incipient fermentation of the
liquid, and adds inucb to its efficacy.
When the quantity of rain which falls
is very great, (lie tank is soon tilled ; and
of course must he emptied before it can
httvc undergone any fermentivo proct->s.
i%
The'ttrine in such case is perfectly raw,j <
but ft is so much diluted by the excess of:.?
miter as to counteract any injurious ef. <
feet* upon the crop to which it is npplied. |
Although there can he no doubt that, in 1 I
its fermentative state, the liquor is much i
more c mceutrated and powerful in its j
effects, still, as urine contains food for I
plants in a state of solution, and, when '
sufficiently diluted, is of great service, '
from my own experience it seems to he j
necessary to apply it in much greater I

U^Hptunately from its |>ocition the reporter
is tinablelo collect the urine of the
hordes; this is a great disadvantage, us

contain* would tend very materially to
excite fermentation in the mass, which,

of colder animals readily to ler.
rmmt.*
Toe liquid in summer is somewhat different
in its character from that made
in winter; it depends entirely upon the
drainage from the fold-yard, the washings
it may lie called, of manure gone through
the first stage of fermentation ; hut the i
height of the temperature induces fc- j
mentation rapidly; it becomes speedily
putrescent; the black residuum is eve ?
more liberally deposited than in winte ,
as well as a green vegetable mucus sus.
pended in the Is sly of the tank.
At the commencement of the application
of the liquid immure, the writer was
anxious not to cxpenn a large sum on the
instruments for removing the liquor, at
least until lie was satisfied of its practical ,
utility in increasing productiveness. His j
method of removing it was indeed a j>ri- j
mitivo one, and one which required a !
<;reat deal of tirne, and caused some in.
convenience. The liquid was haled oil I
of the tink l?y pails, to which cords wr e |
attache I, and conveyed to the field in two
i-n^e tubs in a curt, and again haled from
these and spread ujmn the land. So sat-;
isficd is he mow, however, as to the value j
f th plan, Unit lie has had a water-cart ,
cona ructed, on a very simple aqd incx
pens.vcplan, viz., a large pipe fixed on a '
pair of low wheels and axletree, to which
h p i r or sh.i fts are attached. A targe
hole is made in the (op ofllie cart to pour
in the liquid, another at the end, which is
closed with a plug; to this^i perforated
oblong hox may be uttuched, which
spread the liquid as the horse proceeds,
and removes any unpleasant effects to
which the former rather primitive plan is
necessarily liable. \ wooden pump with
a leathern tuhc attached might he added
to raise the liquid from the tank into the '
water cart.
The writer has used the liquid manure,.
hitherto, invariably in dressing grass j
land, and from November till April. Since j
. J .1? i: ?:.1 i?? I
the last-named periou ine nqum nan wm
pound upon a compost-heap consifing of
quitch routs, and sotnv very imperfectly
made manure, which plan he prefers to
the burning of the quitch. A fine rich
compost is made, which lie intends also
to lay upon the gra*s land. He was de.
(erred from applying the liquid manure
to the grass in the summer season,. from
the idea that it might, ih hot wcnther,
destroy the vegetative power of the grass,
or, un ler any circumstances, render it so
unpalatable to the stock as to prevent
their eating it.
In detailing the results of its npplica.
tinn, the writer conceives he cannot do
it inore simply than hy stating the facts !
of. the experiments he has himself con- j
ducted. Almost immediately after the
tank was made n very heavy thund rstorm,
preceding a long surcessio.. of |
heavy rains occurred ; the consequence ;
was, that having then very little stock in I
the houses nnd little manure in the fold j
yard, (lie tank was shortly full of colored |
mater,?of rain-water very slightly im- 1
pregnatcd with decomposed or exeretnen. |
Utions matter. The tank was necessari- !
ly at once emptied, and its contents pour- I
ed on a pasture growing verv inditferent
heritage; the soil sandy, with a slight
mixture of undecomposed vegetable mailer;
subsoil a sharp yellow mid gra\ sand
impregnated with oxide of iron. Up 'o
the present time (Sept. 11, 1840,) I can
i jierceive no difference between the part ?d
the field where the liquid manure was
poured and the part without any application.
This experiment was made about
the first of Noventl?er; the quantity laid
on was about 800 to 1200 gallons per
acre. The same quantity, as nearly as
can he estimated, was applied in every
experiment made.
The second experiment was also tried
on n pasture, soil sandy, subsoil sandy
gravel,and perfectly drv though undrairieil.
Two thirds of the field were manured
with rotten chuff mixed with horse
litter, and well rotted in the month of
February. The remaining third was watered
with the tank liquor, now consisting
*1*116 addition of so much as couid be eqJ.
lected cf the human urine ai d excrements of
the farm would be still more valuable.?Eo.
F. R.
jf the drainage from the whole of (he 1
itock as stated above in the month oflle- *
trem^er anc January. The spring ap- 1
pea rn nee of the grass was altogether in '
favor of the part manured with the liquid *
manure, both in the deepness of its green I
in its tallness, and in its thickness upon (
the ground. The field was depastured j
with milch-cows, and as soon as they
were turned upon it, they eat up the
srrass where the liquid had been applied '
long before the other was comparatively j
touched, and have maintained a decided j
J
preference to it up to il,ej>rcse.nt timej
i* close and even lis at fawn, whilein some . i
7 # I
parts of the field the grass is quite neg- 1
lee ted. From this the writer inters, lout j1
some principle lias been supplied to the j
grasses on this piece much more favora- j
ble to the deveiopemcut of their charnc- j
(eristic qualities than on the remainder ?
of the field, animals always choosing sued
piants as arc in the greatest perfection:
he has no douht, that, had the whole of
the grass been cut, a most decided supe.
riority would have been manifested on
the niece satered with the tank-liquor.
The next experiment was made on a (
' ...? i I*_J _ n.L !
meadow, I no liquid wnsappiiou in rei?rimry
; it had fermented, and black residuum
had formed very liberally. Purt
of the field was manured with a rich mixture
of ashes And night soil; the remain,
der no manure whatever; soil, a cold
gray sand ; subsoil, adhesive silt, ratner |
spungv, and not efficiently drained. The |
precise spot where the liquid manure had
liecn applied could be marked to a yard
up to the time of mowing, and the grass
was equally good with that manured with
the ashes and night soil. Indeed it had
so overgrow rit that the hog was spoiled hy
ovor-luxuriunee.
The last experiment was on a sandy
soil, w here potatoes and Swede turnips
had been toddercd up, to the I3tn Ma v.
lie grass was eaten verv close, and on a
light burning sand little cut of grass could
be exacted after that period* Part was
watered with the liquid manure. That
part where it was applied mxui aveout a
rich luxuriant herbage, and contained j
three times as much grass as any other \
part of the field. It is refused, however,,
bv the stock, lining probably applied too j
late, sonic of the effluvia p<?*sihly is still
detected by the nnimnis. I
Perhaps the writer mav mention, that
a relative of his has n deep well hi the j
middle of his fold-vard, which is now a
kind of receptacle for a portion of the j
drainage; this he empties when the man.
urc is removed, and spreads it ever u paddock,
wnich he mows eveiy vear for i
soiling his draught-horses ; it gives pc
haps three times as much grass as m y
other part of his farm of an equal ex ei.
The soil is a cold retentive clay.
The cowl ruction of tanks is tie nex
important question. That of the writer
is w a brick in length," in walling, piaster*
ed with Roman cement,- and flagged over
l he top. one of the flags being moved hie;
the drains into it are all covered, and no

some situations, with naturnl falls, &<\,
it might he huillt upon the surface, and
I he liquid allowed to pa** through open
drains, clayed and puddled. As ihe former
is the most efficit nt and commodious,
method, (lie writer will give an estim <\

This would he n tank sufficiently capa!

' Receptacles of a more simple and iuexj
