Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Essay on Manures: Submitted to the Trustees of the Massachusetts Society for Promoting Agriculture, for Their Premium
There is one thing settled in farming, stable manure never fails. It always tells. There are no two ways about it. There is here neither theory, nor specula tion, nor doubt, nor misgiving. Muck it well, mas ter, and it will come right, is an old proverb. It is considered a fact so well established, that nobody thinks of disputing it. There is advantage in asking why barnyard manure never fails. The answer is easy. It contains all that plants need for their growth. If we know then what plants contain, we can easily tell what is in manure. The whole doc trine of manures, then, falls into two plain principles, on which hang all the law and the profits of agri.
