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

Of 100 lbs. of dry substance in the food, there is found in the excrements:

Dry Substance. Cow Ox Sheep Horse Mean

In the Dung

 38.0 lbs. 45.6 lbs. 46.9 lbs. 42.0 lbs. 43.1 lbs.

In the Urine

   9.1   ”   5.8   ”   6.6   ”   3.6   ”   6.3   ”

Total dry substance in the Manure

 47.1   ” 51.4   ” 53.5   ” 45.6   ” 49.4   ”

Of 100 lbs. of organic substance in the food, there is found in the excrements:

Organic Substance. Cow Ox Sheep Horse Mean

In the Dung

 36.5 lbs. 43.9 lbs. 45.6 lbs. 38.2 lbs. 41.0 lbs.

In the Urine

   6.0   ”   3.2   ”   3.9   ”   2.5   ”   3.9   ”

Total organic substance in Manure

 42.5   ” 47.1   ” 49.5   ” 40.7   ” 44.9   ”

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

Nitrogen. Cow Ox Sheep Horse Mean

In the Dung

 45.5 lbs. 51.0 lbs. 43.7 lbs. 56.1 lbs. 49.1 lbs.

In the Urine

 18.3   ” 38.6   ” 51.8   ” 27.3   ” 34.0   ”

Total Nitrogen in Manure

 63.8   ” 89.6   ” 95.5   ” 83.4   ” 83.1   ”

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

Mineral Matter. Cow Ox Sheep Horse Mean

In the Dung

 53.9 lbs.   70.8 lbs.   63.2 lbs.   85.6 lbs.   68.4 lbs.

In the Urine

 43.1   ”   46.7   ”   40.3   ”   16.3   ”   35.1   ”

Total mineral matter in Manure

 97.0   ” 117.5   ” 103.5   ” 101.9   ” 103.5   ”

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’s Praktische 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.
