SHEEP MANURE.
The manure from sheep has a higher fertilising value than that derived from any other animal. Next in substance come the excrementitious substances from pigs and horses. Cattle manure is less concentrated, but as regards quantity produced, cattle come first, then horses, while pigs and sheep naturally produce less per animal. The fertilising value of a manure, however, does not altogether depend on the animal producing it, as the character of the food consumed influences in a great measure the quality of the manure, and even the manure from the same animal may vary daily in quantity and quality.
