" While the liquid manure is actually, in many eases, almost entirely lost, the solid part is ofien allowed to drnn and bleach, an td nearly every thing soluble has washed away, or is exposed in heaps lo ferment with- uulany covering. In auch a case ammonia is always formed and given ofT, it may often be perceived by die smell, particularly in horse manure. The fact may also be shown, by dipping a leather in muriatic acid, and wav- . ,,nl it over. the. heap. If ammonia, in anv quantity is escaping, white fume will be visi- : ble about the feather, caused by the formation of muriate of ammonia. This escape .of o valuable a substance may be, in a great meas ure, prevertied, by shovelling earth over the "surface of the heap, to a depth of two or three inches. If this doe not arrest it entire ly, sprinkle a few handfuls-of plaster on the top; the sulphuric acid of the plaster will, as betore, unite with tne ammonia, and form sul phate of ammonia.
