The Value and Management of Farm Yard Manure
An analysis explains farm yard manure from cow and pig dung mixed with straw, its fermentation stages long dung and short dung, and how fermentation increases soluble nutrients. It discusses weight loss, ammonia retention, rain losses, and the need for proper mixing, moisture, and cover. It also covers mechanical and chemical soil effects, timing of application, and notes on timber cutting seasons in forestry.

Nitrogen Loss in Wheat Manures Sparks Debate
The article explains early findings that mineral manures boost wheat yield mainly from added ammonia but do not account for all nitrogen in crops. It notes autumn versus spring application results, substantial drainage of nitric acid, and unresolved questions about where spring-sown ammonia nitrogen goes, with implications for the practical use of costly fertilizers.
