Many formers say that they csn
not raise as much manure as they
are compelled 10 use on their farm.
/ The truth is this; Not one farmer
, in ten raises as much manure as be
can and ought. Every horse stable
and every COW stall ought to be
cleaned ard Uttered at leaet six
times year, and we believe twelve
times year would do better. Ev~
ery sheep cot ought to be cleared and
Uttered as often as the litter is cut
fne by trampIing. And, by The
way. the manure you raise in your
sheep pen is about the best manure

year till you try it.
Every hog pen and every hoy lot
ought to no kept cleaned and Uttered
