Part of the nitrogen, phosphoric acid, and potash of the food may be retained in the body during growth or may go into the milk. All the rest is excreted in the urine and feces. The value of the manure therefore depends, first of all, on the kind of feed the ani-. Fig. 60a.—Such Losses op Fertility Occur on Many Farms When manure is loosely piled under the eaves, heavy losses of fertility occur thru fermentation and leaching. Note that every hard rain will leach fertility from the manure pile to the ditch in the foreground. (From Wisconsin Station.) mal gets. Only feeds rich in nitrogen, phosphoric acid, and potash make rich manure. The proportion of the total fertilizing constituents supplied in the feed which is recovered in the manure depends on the age and kind of animal. Mature horses at work store no nitrogen, phosphoric acid, or potash, but merely repair their body tissues as they are broken down. Hence, they excrete all the fertilizing constituents contained in their i Owing to the European war, prices of some fertilizers are at present much higher than here Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Henry, W.
