CHAPTEK VII. OTHEB OEGAKIC MANUEES. The number of organic manures is almost count- less. The most common of these have been de- scribed in the previous chapters on the excrements of animals. The more prominent of the remaining ones will now be considered. As a universal rule, it may be stated that all organic matter (every thing which has had vegetable or animal life) is capable of fertilizing plants. How should it be prepaied for iise ? MANUKBS. 137 DEAD ANIMALS. The todies of animals contain ...much nitrogen, as well as valuable quantities, the phosphates and other inorganic materials required in the growth of plants. On their decay, the nitrogen is resolved into ammania,^'' and the mineral matters become valuable as food for the inorganic parts of plants. If the decomposition of animal bodies takes place in exposed situations,, andwithout proper precautions, the ammonia escapes into the atmosphere, and much of the mineral portion is leached out by rains. The use of absorbents, such as charcoal-dust, prepared muck, etc., will entirely prevent evapoi'ation, and wiU in a great measure serve as a protection against leaching.
