This antique volume contains a detailed treatise on the use of sewage as
a fertiliser in agriculture, with information on filtration,
purification, the lime process, and the various chemicals involved in
sewage treatment. Containing much in the way of information still
relevant to the modern farmer and farming process, this text will prove
an invaluable tool for anyone interested in agricultural fertiliser, and
makes for a worthy addition to collections of farming literature. The
chapters of this book include: 'Sewage', 'Commercial Fertilizers better
than Sewage', 'Weakness of Sewage', 'The Economic Argument Against
Manuring with Sewage', 'Waste of Fertilizers by Rivers', 'Purification
of Sewage by Percolation', 'Intermittent Filtration', 'Purification of
Sewage by Ferments', etcetera. We are proud to be republishing this
antique book now complete with a new introduction on farming.
