In addition to what I have formerly j

I never have Hern engaged in making

But I tliitrk ?h*'\ ait not far from the I

would do much better attached to a Cot. ;

worst, and the cost would not he so tnuch

Permit me to mention an experiment j
made hy myself at Washington, on the j
subject of fod ler. Noticing the statement
male in the Fr ncii periodicals, tha the
stalks of corn (maize) contained one half
as much saccharine matter as cune, and j
knowing that my ancestors made their.
molasses during tae revolutionary war j
from these stalk*, i sovve I four and a half;
bushels of common corn, broadcast, and
harrowed in the same. This lahor was
easily performed t?v a si gle inon with a '
team (the plowing included) in a day. j
Having soaked the corn in saltpetre wa. I
ter, it took a rapid start, over topped the
wi eds, and covered the ground with a '
forest of stalks. When fairly tasselled, I
cut the same, which i fed to cattle, horses 1
and hogs, hoth green and dry. If fed to I
swine after lieing cured, it was cut and I
fermented with chop or hraii. Being j

OX SAVING LIQUID XANCRF.
By Mr. Matthew Marrnnduke Milhurn,
Tliropofield, Thrisk, Yorkshire.
It i? an unaccountable circumstance,
thai while mnny thousands of pounds are
yearly expended by the agriculturists of
Cireal Britain in the purchase of artificial
and extraneous manures, so little attention
is paid to the collecting, preparing,
and using of that which is always within
their reach. There can bo little doubt,
that, in one shajie or another, as mucn available
innnure is actually wasted and
las I, us would have, if applied to the land,
have an effect equal to tiie whole of tlio
lime, hones, rftj*M]ust? <!cc., which are
annually purchased.
Wilh very few exceptions, the generality
of farmers allow the whole of the urine
made by their stock, the drainage oftlie
fold-yards, and the liquid from the mix- j
ens, (Hung.hillx,) Co run down home .sower
ai d enrich the rank grass and wee is
which it approaches, or ruri into soine distant
river.
The writer of this report had his atten.
lion directed to the utility of liquid ma
nure from the following circumstance:
?The liquid from the fold yard?which
hy the way w is originally a quadrangular
court-yard, in entirely paved, and lies ra. !
I her high?ran for several years down 1
an open drain belonging to nn adjoining I
neighbor. For a considerable period the
s wer was not cleaned out, and in consequence
of the yard-drains being partly
blocked, up permission was asked to clean
out the gewer. The contents, after l?eing
allowed lo drv, were put upon a light
poor, sandy soil, as a dressing for autuui.
nal sown tares The consequence was,
t^t though the soil had grown, comparaol\,
nothing for a long time, such a
crop of tares was obtained as is seldom
witnessed. The same piece was sown
with lares the following y *ar,?contrary,
it will perhaps tie said, to good farming.
?and another beautiful crop was obtained.
Indeed the power oft lie sewer clearings
seemed to be double that of terinented
farm-yard manure; ami peculiarly adaptcd
to promote the full development
and vigorous vegetation of the plants.
The next object of the writer was to
save a portion at least of this fertili/.ing
mixture, and he determined upon i
?he construction of a tank to collect a ,
manure so valuable. There were one or
two slight difficulties to encounter,?first

level, and continued to lie so lor several
hundred yards from the premises; and, in
the next place, the soil and subsoil were
exceedingly porous, and at some depth
spring v. These difficulties ero, however,
ovcrc mie, and a full year's experience
of the effects of the application has been
had.
in order to methodize, he will treat
separately of the nature of the liquid oia.
nure, of the mode of its application, of
the efTects produced, and of the construetion
of tanks and other receptacles for
snving it.
The liquid manure which the writer
has applied consists of the drainage from
the cow.house, calf-house, pig-cot, and
fold-yard. Gratis are placed in the difi*.
erent places whence it is derived, and tin.
der-drauis to convey the liquor to the
ta -.k The cows aie principally store
animals, fed on turnips, with a little hay
at night; the calves are fed on turnips,
linseed-cake, or porridge and hav ; n.e
ptf.8 are fattening ones, fed principally
on barley.meal; and the fold.yard wis in
it (lie dung from every kind of stock;
besides, a lew store cattle and pigs are
kept in it. The dung is mixed indiscriminately.
and remninsn lew weeks previously
to itsheing carted to the mixen.
The fold-yard is open to the weather,
and as the hnmmels and some of the farmhuildings.
are not spouted, a great quantity
of the soluble parts of the dung and
decomposed straw passes off wilh the
drainage. The writer is not sure whether
this is as rich as the urine and such
parts id' the dung as it carries in solution
from the interior of the buildings; but it
is a valuable manure which would otherwise
he lost, and. were it not in any way
j applied to I he land, would he entirely was1
ted. 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 \
sufficient fall, or from the tank not being
| emptied as soon as it is full,
i In a dry season, of course, less drain,
ago proceeds from the fold.yard, hut it
[ makes no difference as respects the drain,
age from the huildi.igs; and in the hitter
caw the fermentation of the liquid manure
proceeds much more rapidly than
when there is mere drainage from the
fold-yard.
I When the temperature is not too low, a
white creamy fluid covers the surface of
the liquor in the tank, and a black sedi.
meiil subsides to the bottom. This indi. j
cates the incipient fermentation of the j
liquid, and adds inuch to its efficacy,
i When the quantity of rain which falls
j is verv grout, the tank is soon filled ; and
j of course must be emptied before it can
have uud* rgonc any fcr;nenlivo process.
?>
%
TheHirine in such case is perfectly raw, j <
but il is so much diluted by the excess of: t
wutcr As to counteract any injurious ef- <
feet* upon the crop to which it is applied, j
Although there can be no doubt that, in ' I
its fermentative state, the liquor is much i
more c mceutrated and powerful in its i
effects, still, as urine contains food for I
plants in a state of solution, and, when i
sufficiently diluted, is of great service, 1
from my own experience it seems to he <
necessary to apply it in much greater I
quantities wtien uhfermenteil to produce I
the same effects upon the crop. I
U^mpfunately from its jiosition the re. j
porter is una Me "to collect the urine of the |
horses; this is a great disadvantage, us I
lilt* ammonia which the urine of horses .
contains would tend very materially to j
excite fermentation in (he mass, which, |
as it is, contains too much of t\e excre- i
ments of colder animals readily to fer. ,

in winter; it depends entirely upon the |
drainage from the fold-yard, the washings ,
it may l>e called, of manure gone through
(he first stage of fermentation ; hut the ;
i
height of the teni|>erature induces fe*- j
mentation rapidly; it becomes speedi- ,
ly putrescent; the black residuum is eve !,
more liberally deposited than ill winte , ' i
as well as a green vegetable mucus sus. ,
pended in the body of the tank.
At the commencement of the applica- ,
tion of thp liquid manure, the writer was
anxious not to expend a large sum on the
instruments lor removing the liquor, at
h ast until lie was satisfied of its practical 1
utility in increasing productiveness. His j
method of removing it was indeed a pri- j
mitivc one, and one which required n 1
great deal of time, and caused -some in.
c onvenience. The liquid was baled oil
of the tink l>v pails, to which cords we?e
a.ttaclie I, and conveyed to the field in two
Mige culw in a cart, and again haled from
ineso and spread upon the land. So satisfied
is he now, however, as to the value
>f th plan, that lie has had a water-cart
cons ructed, on a very simple aqd inex
pens.ve plan, viz., a large pipe fixed on a
pair of low wheels and axletree, to which
a pi r of shafts are attached. A large
hole is made in the top of!lie cart to pour
in the liquid, another at the end, which is
closed Willi a plug; to this%. perforated
oblong box may be attached, which
spread the liquid as the horse proceeds, I
and removes any unpleasant effects to }
whicij the former rallier primitive plan is j
necessarily liable. A wooden pump with j
a leathern tube attached might be added
to raise the liquid fro in the tank into the
water cart.
Tin; writer has used the liquid manurp, {,
hitherto, invariably in dressing grass |
Ian,I, and froru November till April. Since
the last-named period the liquid has Is;en
poured upon a compost*heap eonsiting of
quitch roots, and somu very imperfectly
made manure, which plan he prefers to
the burning of the quitch. A fine rich
compost is made, which he intends also
to lav upon the grass land. He was de.
lerred from applying the liquid manure
to the grass in the summer season,, from
i 1
the idea that it might, ih hot weather,
destroy the vegetative power of the gross,
or, uti ler any circumstances, render it so
unpalatable to the stock as to prevent ,
their eating it.
In detailing the results of its application,
the writer conceives he cannot do
it inore simply than by stating the facts i
of tic experiments he has himself con- !
ducted. Almost immediately after the
tank was made n very heavy thund rstorm,
preceding a long successio.. of j
heavy rains, occurred ; the consequence ,
was, that having then very little stock in i
the houses,and little manure in the fold 1
i* it r i l!
vanl, the tank was shortly run or coiorea ;
water,?*if rain-water very slightly ini- j
pregnated with decomposed or excreinon- j
Utious inattcr. The tank was necessari. !
Iv at once emptied) and its contents pour- j
ed on a pasture growing verv indifferent j
herbage; the sod sandy, with a slight I
mixture of undecomposed vegetable mat- [
ler ; subsoil a sharp yellow and gra\ sand j
impregnated with oxide of iron. Up to j
the present time (Sept. 11, 1840,) I can !
perreive no difference between the part of i
the field where the liquid manure, was
poured and the part without anv application.
This ex|icriiiient was made about
the first of Novernlar ; tlie quantity laid j
on was about 800 to 1200 gallons per
acre. The same quantity, as nearly as
ran he estimated, was applied in every
experiment made.
The second experiment was also tried
on a pasture, soil sandy, subsoil sandv
gr.ivel,und perfectly drv though undrain. j
ed. Two thirds of the field were mnnti- ,
red with rotten chaff mixed with horse j
litter,and well rotted ill the month of ;
February. The remaining third was wa- j
| u-reit with the tank liquor, now consisting j
i |

the farm would be still more valuable.?110. i

if the drainage from the whole of the m
{lock as stated above in the month of lie. >
.. emuer anc January. The spring ap- v
,)earanee of the grass was altogether in n
avor of the part manured with the liquid P
nanure, both ill the deepness of its green f
n its tidiness, and in its thickness upon c
[he ground. The held was depastured j
svitli milch-cows, and as soon as they ;
were turned upon it, they eat up the j
jrass whew the liquid had been applied j'
long before the other was comparatively |
touched, and have maintained a decided !
reference to it up to the present tiige i&J
i? close and even ns a fawn, white in some i
1 t i
parts of the field the grass is quite neg- 1
looted. From this the writer inters, tout ,1
ioino principle has been supplied lo the j1
grasses on this piece much more fnvora- j 1
!>le to the developeiricnt of their charac- J'
(eristic qualities than on the remainder '
iif the held, animals always chousing sueii (
plants as are in the grea tent perfect ion: (
lie has no doubt, that, had the whole of j
I hi* grass been cut, a most decided supe- (,
riorily would have been manifested on i
the niece watered with the tank.liquor. j i
The next experiment was made on a i
meadow. The liquid was applied in Feb- 1
rimry ; it had fermented, and black residuum
had formed very liberally. Part
of the tield was manured with a rich mix*
ture of ashes and night soil; the remain,
der no manure whatever; soil, a cold 1
gray sand ; subsoil, adhesive silt, ralner ;
spungv, and not efficiently drained. The j
precise spot where the liquid manure had
been applied could be marked to a yard ,
up to the time of mowing, and the grass
was equally good with that manured with i
ihe ashes ami night soil. Indeed it had j
j
so overgrown, that the bog was spoiled by , over.luxuriance.
The last experiment was on a sandy j
soil, where potatoes and Swede turnips j
had been loddered up, to the Ittlii May. j
lie grass was eaten verv close, and oil a \
light burning sand little cut of grass could
lie expected after that period- Part was
watered with the liquid manure. That
part where it was applied mmmi < aveout a
rich luxuriant herbage, and contained j
three times as much grass as any other
part of the field. It is refused, however, j
by the stock, being probably applied too j
late, some of the effluvia po?sihly is still
detected by the animals. |
Perhaps the writer may mention, that .
a relative of his has a deep well 111 the
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- (
ore is removed, and spreads it ever a pad- j
dock, winch he mows eveiy vcar for i
soiling his draught-horses ; it gives pe
haps three times as much grass as u: y
other part of his farm of an equal ex ei. ?
The soil is a cold retentive clay.
The construction of tanks is tie nex ,
important question. That of the writer
is 44 a hrirk in Iqngth," in walling, piaster- j
ed with Roman cement, and flagged over
the top. one of the flags being moved hie; I
the drains into it are all covered, and no j
stranger could he conscious of its existence '
In some situations, with natural falls, &<*.,
it might he buillt upon the surface, and '
I he liquid ulh'wed to pass through open i
drains, clnvt d and puddled. As the former t
is the most eflicit nt and commodious, <
method, the writer will give an estiin c, '
