would be as easily loaded from the yard
and heaps where it has been thrown during
the winter, but find that being not more
than one or two weeks in the heap. after
being forked over, fits it much better for
use in the field, so that it is easier plowcd
under and is more readily converted into
the plant food for which it is needed, and
as all the water that drains out of it back
into the low places in the yard reduces the
weight that have to cart out, without in
juring the strength of the manure, which /
think is enough of itself to pay for the
labor of working il over. But would
have been better satisfied if / could have
done this much earlier in the season. that
the whole heap might have been more
thoroughly composted together, and the
coarscr parts have been more decomposcd

enough to dccomposc all the manure and
the bedding that is mixed with it, and to
cause the ammonia to thoroughly enter the
loan or peat that is mixed with it, until
the whole heap is finely pulverizcd and of
uniform fertilizing power throughout. !
do not expect mp heaps to reach this point
this season, unless 1t may I've that which
shall leave until the last, to use on the tur-
nip land and on that sOwn to late corn
fodder, for this point cannot well bc
reached unless the heaps are forkcd over
more than once, but shall approach near
enough to it to very well pay for the labor
of forking it over.
'About this time" ms the almanac says,
look out for the circulars of the dealers in
and manufacturers OF various special fer
tilizcrs, such rs phosphates, pordrct,cs,
gliano and others, each strongly recon-
mendcd by scores of certificates, and each
one, do not doubt, of more or less value
upon certain soils, but how far that value
may compare to the value of the dollars
and cents which they will cost, can only
be determined by careful experiments upon
the land. Nor will the result be the same
upon the same soil in different seasons. or
upon the soils that seem to he similar.
which have been differently treated. And
do not think if You have found that a Ger
tain quantity used along with other manure
is beneficial to your crops, that twice as
much will raise twice as large crops, or pay
twice as we'll That is too much like the
man who, finding that Il stove saved half
his wood thought that two stoves would
save it all. certainly believe that little

the HILL or narrowed into the surface, will
pay well in many instances. and especially
