Horse manure is esteemed for this purpose, and that which contains straw is held to be better than that which is mixed with bog- meadow hay. In this case the gardeners are really seeking to get a feeble form of bottom heat, such as is seen at its best in their hot-beds. Twenty-five cords of such manure to the acre, which is a not unusual application, are clearly competent to force an early crop, both by virtue of the heat developed, and of the large amount eif nitrogen which the manure contains. It is probable, withal, that nitrification speedily sets in where the land has thus been prepared and warmed, as if for this special purpose, by working into it such large quantities of manure. CHAPTER II. DRY LOAM MAY INJURE MANURE. Thus far it has been argued that the mixing of peat, loam, or straw with dung is in the main advantageous as a means of preserving the manure, provided the mixture is kept moist and cool, even if it be exposed to the air. But there is another side to this question of admixture, for it is known that when dung or urine is mixed with an excess of dry loam or dry peat, and then exposed to the free action of the air in loose heaps, there is danger that a good part of their nitrogen will bo lost. Indeed, observations are not wanting to show that the admixture even of moist loam with decaying organic matters does not always hinder the loss of nitrogen. Jt has been shown by Lawos and GiIbert, by Schloesing, and by Armsby, that when nitrogenous organic substances undergo decomposition in presence of much oxygen, large quantities of free nitrogen gas may be evolved from the materials. Inasmuch as this ...
