Do Manures Waste if Spread on the
Surface2

There is a popular impression
that manure spread upon the sur
face of the grounl in the fall or win
ter wastes much of its value from
evaporation, and especially from
washing by the winter and spring
rains. A Vermont farmer writes
his experience to one of our East
Iern.exchanges in substance as fol-
lows: He drew out and spread

may part with something of their

properties remain, and By the act

and rain, they are fitted to be taken
up by plants as food, which they
are not in their green state. The
farmer need have no fear Of losing
any valuable part of his manure by

his teams to no better purpose dur

in hauling aud spreading such man

CEDAR ISLAND GUAEO is a

elements of good plant food, and in
proper proportions, to sustain veg
citation through the entire period
of it's growth, and brings crops to
their full maturity. 1t has been
found especially good on peas, po-
