Amount of dung in proportion of food consumed. 
It has been established by accurate observations that about one-half (by weight) of all the 
dry matter (absolutely free from water) consumed as food is deposited in the form of dung 
of animals. For example: 
Name of animals. 
Kind of food. 
Percantage of dry 
food transferred 
into dung.

The medium will be 51.6 per “cent., but ‘considering that the manure of horned cattle 
always preponderates, 50 per cent. will be an average of dry matter (consumed) trans- 
formed into manure by domestic animals. 
Medium sized domestic animals, well fed, will produce per annum: 
Horse, — what is lost while at work, 7 loads, at 25 chr. = 175 chr. 
Cattle, fed in stables, 8 to 10 loads, at 25 chr. = 200 to 250 chr. 
Sheep, from October to May, 3-5 of a load, at 25 chr. = 15 chr. 
Hog, fatted, 1 to 14 load, at 25 chr. = 25 to 37 chr. 
ReEMARK.—Stable manure resting until heated loses 20 per cent., 
at last to 50 per cent. of its original value. 
and is reduced gradually
