URINE. (See DUNG.) The urine of all animals is 

 excellent as a manure ; but it must be given only to 

 plants whilst growing, and in a diluted state. One of 

 the most fertilising of liquid-manures is composed of 

 cabbage-leaves, and other vegetable refuse, putrefied in 

 the urine from a house or stable, and diluted with three 

 times its quantity of water when applied. If mixed 

 with bleaching powder (chloride of lime), there will be 

 no offensive smell. Gypsum mixed with urine, or a 

 little oil of vitriol poured into it, adds to its utility as a 

 manure. Sulphate of iron, in the proportion of seven 

 pou ids to every hundred of urine, prevents the escape 

 of ammonia during putrefaction.
