Chapter 17

In the last edition of his book on Manure, “Praktische Düngerlehre,” Dr. EmilWolff, gives the following tables:

Of 100 lbs. ofdry substancein the food, there is found in the excrements:

In the Dung

In the Urine

Total dry substance in the Manure

Of 100 lbs. oforganic substancein the food, there is found in the excrements:

In the Dung

In the Urine

Total organic substance in Manure

Of 100 lbs. ofnitrogenin the food, there is found in the excrements:

In the Dung

In the Urine

Total Nitrogen in Manure

Of 100 lbs.mineral matterin the food, there is found in the excrements:

In the Dung

In the Urine

Total mineral matter in Manure

The excess of mineral matter is due to the mineral matter in the water drank by the animals.

The following tables of analyses are copied in full from the last edition (1875), of Dr. Emil Wolff’sPraktische Düngerlehre.

The figures differ materially in many cases from those previously published. They represent the average results of numerous reliable analyses, and are sufficiently accurate for all practical purposes connected with the subject of manures. In special cases, it will be well to consult actual analyses of the articles to be used.
