The results of these experiments are given in the following table: TABLE I. Production of Humates and Absorption of Soil Phosphates by Humus. When albumin was...

Length, ten to eleven inches. It nests upon the ground, and seldom perches on trees. Analyses of stomach contents give interesting results : Two hundred and thirty-eight stomachs examined contained seventy-three per cent animal matter, and twentyseven per cent vegetable, the latter being found in the winter. The animal food consisted of insects...
