Leather Scrapings. — ^There is in this neighborhood quite a 

 quantity of leather scrapings which I could get at a cheap rate. 

 Are they of much value as manure ? If so, how should they be 

 applied? K. Williams. 



Dry leather scrapings contain as much nitrogen as the best 

 Peruvian guano, and could the_y be decomposed and render- 

 ed readily assimilable without loss, they would be nearly as 

 valuable. As it is, like woolen rags, horn shavings, hair, fish, 

 etc., they are among the most valuable natural fertilizers 

 known. The best method of using leather scrapings is to 

 form them into a compost with soil enough to prevent the 

 escape of ammonia. Or they may be applied directly to 

 the soil in a fresh state. Three or four tons to the acre in 

 their natural state would be a heavy dressing. After be- 

 ing decomposed in a compost heap, a less quantity must 

 be used : tialf a ton to a ton per acre of the leather in 

 this state would be sufficient.
