No one doubts the utility of liquid manure, but we cannot get enough of it, and it is, after all, some trouble to make it; perhaps no more trouble with it than it is worth. A Pennsylvania gardener gives the following directions for making a liquid manure of right strength, suitable for use in flower beds and around the garden: "1 have used, for several years, a liquid manure which is very effective in pushing on the growth of vegetables, strawberries, roses, grass, etc. My first test of it was the pouring of a stream from a watering pot across a piece of poor grass opposite a post which served as a mark. There was soon a distinct wave, as bold and as green as the line of a fairy ring. This season I show half a row of peas and half a bed of strawberries, very superior to the other half, to exhibit the application. It is chiefly, I suppose, sulphate of ammonia, and is made thus: To one gallon of stale urine (at least one week old) in a deep wooden vessel or crock, add two ounces of sulphuric acid. Next day put in a couple of ounces of chalk or lime, to take up any acid remaining free.

Stir. Put a pint of this into a pail of water, and use once or twice a week on growing plants, and preferably when the ground is wet, as it diffuses them among the feeding points of the roots better".
