u,,a with stable manure, but by using
nropcr precautions no harm will be done.
1t is quito easy to prevent fire. fanging
of manure, which is dry rot, caused by
lack of moisture, and is prevented by
keeping the manure in low, fiat, broad
heaps, which catch the rain and keep
moist, and should be turned over as
soon as the manure becomes hot. But
by making compost of it the manure
can be doubled in value. This may be
done as follows: A layer of leaves from
the woods, swamp muck, and black
vegetable mold, is first made, mixed with
the tannery lime; manure is scattered
over this, and as it is thrown on the
other materials arc mixed with it rough
ly until broad, dished surface heap is
made not more than five feet in height.
The mixed stuff should amount to three
times the bulk OF the manure, to prevent
overhcating and damage. A slow de-
composition will soon reduce the whole
to rich manure, equal, bulk for bulk,
to that direct from the stable. If the
heap heats too much it should be
turned over. -Neo York Times.
