Next to these come the leguminous seeds, malt-dust and bran. Clover hay yields a richer manure than the cereal grains, but meadow hay stands below them. The cereal grains and the roots contain about the same proportion of nitrogen in their dry substance; the roots, however, supply much more potash. Potatoes stand below roots in their manurial value. Straw takes the lowest place as a manure-yielding food; bean and pea straw are more valuable for this purpose than the straw of the cereals. '' The ash constituents present in animal manure have probably the full money value of thfe same constituents in artificial manure, but the nitrogen has apparently a lower value than the nitrogen of ammonium salts or.
