LrQUID M,suRI.--" Please publish the best method
of applying liquid manure, to what crops and at what
season Of the year." A. Yes, Sir; will The
best method Of applying it is by steam-engine, IN
dergound pipes bydran taps, and hose. There is MT
doubt in mind about the economy of sending ell

power, upon every farm large enough to pay for iS
use Solid manure is easily made liquid and there 10
no doubt of the economy of preserving It in that state.
ana certainly there can be doubt about usog In
that condition.
The best crops to which TO apply liquid manure aro
grass clover and small grain, but it may be applied
with advantage to all hard crops. The same ordos
may BE- advantage pursued in applying any sort
Of farm That is, to grass frst and MAKE
the sod manure the grain crops. Small farmers, whe
cannot send their liquid msnure aeld by steam, may
have large cask tank on wheels, with sprinkler

liquid manure TO nearby fields than it is TO hasdls
