It Paws to use Manure.

That it pays to use manure, the success
Of farmer in Centreville, Md, abundant
ly proves. He purchased farm in 1914,
which had previously produced scarcely
enough to support family, and in the
nine years which have since elapsed, he
has used 10,998 bushels of ashes, t7,865
bushels of stone lime, and 9.7OO of shell
lime, besides street manure, in all costing
SO ,224,68. In 1914, the produce Of the
farm sold for $49l,58 and it was gradual.
ly increased until 1852, when it was sold
for $2,5O4,47. The sales of the nine
years amount to SIC, 1850, or $12, $780,.
SO over and above the cost Of manure. Al
the rate Of the yield in 1914, the aggregate
sales Of the nine years would have amount
ed to only $4,424.22, SO that he has clear
gain from increased produce Of Sc, $685..
80, by the application Of manure for nine
years. The increase Of labor employed
should also be taken into account, but
even then, handsome profit is shown
from the use ofthe fertalizing materials.
These figures speak for themselves, and
render comment scarcely necessary. An
increase Of over $4,000 in the produce oi
single farm, fromthe addition Of manure,
is certainly a convincing argument.
