which are akin to the nerve-sense processes in the human head (Figure 25, p. 350). It has taken up these fertilising forces during the resting of the horns in the winter earth, in the time when they are naturally at their most intense in working within the interior of the earth. We have therefore in the horn manure a "winter forces fertiliser" at our disposal, which, polar to the winter season, can be applied at will in accordance with the sowing times of the cultivated plants from spring through summer to autumn. The metabolically active cow dung has transformed itself into a sense-active fertiliser, which strengthens the intrinsic activity of the root in relation to the merely mineral character of the soil. It "educates" the sense-faculty of the root, which finds expression for instance in the mineral-opening capacity — "the roots of plants [...]: It is an eye, but a poor eye."[1] This fact is reflected in experimental investigations which show that the root grows true to type, branches more finely, penetrates vertically deeper into the soil and thereby opens up for itself a larger soil volume.
