Ordinary gypsum, or superphosphates, or plaster will readily unite with ammonia, and these added to the manure heap largely counteract the tendency of the nitrogen to waste, thus enabling the farmer to put back into his soil most of the nitrogen which was extracted from it by his crops and then used by his stock. His vegetable crops raise the nitrates into proteids.
Moreover, as I was just explaining to our friend, I have secured a Pou Sto a hall, my chick or perhaps it might be defined more precisely as a er loft. It served formerly or, as the poets would say, whilom as a barracks for the Salvation Army; in more recent times as a store for er superphosphates.

Talking of scent, Smiles, it might be advisable what with the superphosphates and the onions to take some counteracting steps, which your ingenuity may be able to suggest.
Calculations made out by the experts of various state agricultural stations show that, as a general rule, it is now cheaper for the farmer to buy his superphosphates ready made than to make them on his farm. The difference in some cases, however, is not great; and only a comparative trifle would be needed in order to turn the balance.
