Unfortunately this is not shown in the case of mixed manures; and this constitutes one of the reasons why mixed manures are sometimes to be regarded with suspicion.
However, manuresare useful with all soils, and necessary with many.
Climate, soil, and manuresdetermine the possible region of cultivation--the extent to which the area is utilised depends on the enterprise of man.
If artificial manures are used they should vary according to the soil, and, although he can obtain considerable help from the analyst, the planter's most reliable guide will be experiment on the spot.
The method of culture is primitive, and no artificial manures are used, yet for several generations the trees have given good crops and the soil remains as fertile as ever.
I came expressly to see you, Princess," answered the young man in a deep earnest voice.
The nitrogen contained in crop residues and other organic manures is chiefly in chemical combination with carbon, oxygen and hydrogen, much of it in insoluble protein compounds.
The following suggestions are offered to the land owner: To enrich the soil apply liberal amounts of limestone, organic manures and phosphorus.
These are the oldest experiments in the United States in which organic manures have been re-enforced with phosphorus, and the only addition suggested for the profitable improvement of this system is ground limestone on acid soils.
But the drill does not only sow the seed; it deposits artificial manuresfor the reception of the seed.
In estimating the value of artificial manures the chemist's dictum is of the greatest value, but his analysis when used to gauge the value of the living humus may be entirely misleading.
Organic manures are economical in the long run, because if the weather is adverse they bide their time until the advent of 'fine growing weather.
This is not the case when soluble chemical manures are used.
The gases and moisture generated by the decomposition of manures produce this mellow state.
A liberal supply of suitable manures will keep the vines in a healthy condition, and preserve the fruit from disease and decay.
Facts are certainly at hand to show that the great and leading benefits of manures are in their control of moisture, and where that control is not needed, plants get a great growth on what we call poor soil.

When possible dung manures should be kept under cover.
The value of dung manuresdepends not merely upon the protein content, but also upon its content of phosphate and potash, as well as other organic matter.
Dung manures are deficient in phosphates and potash and are of value partly as nitrogenous manures producing growth, and partly as dressings of organic matter for soil.
Fresh dung manures are both wasteful and injurious to soil, except perhaps to very stiff clays.
The tide cannot deposit earth higher than it flows, and after the ground is once enclosed, the decay of the vegetables grown upon it and the addition of manures do not compensate the depression occasioned by drying and consolidation.
The fertility imparted to the banks of the Nile by the water and the slime of the inundations, is such that manures are little employed.
For manures not only contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, but by their decomposition supply the soil with these principles in their elementary form.
It should be borne in mind that such animal manures are richer in nitrogen than in other elements and if used to excess may stimulate leaf growth at the expense of yield and quality.
In many cases it is necessary to apply chemical fertilizers to get satisfactory yields, even where natural manures are available and can be applied as well.
Thinking it desirable to apply my experimental manures in moist weather, I waited until the 6th May, when I treated that part of the field which had not been manured (three-fourths of the whole) in the following manner.
Of manures which may be termed fossils we will mention the various kinds of calcareous substances, the stony matter called pyrites, coal, salt, peaty substances, silicious and aluminous earths.
The farmer should attend also to making the most of such other manures as come conveniently within his reach.
Earths, minerals, and manures of all kinds are analysed.
These manures when applied to growing crops are somewhat similar in their effects to those of gypsum.
