SAYING THE MANURE.

An exchange remarks that farm
ers will never be entirely agreed
whether manure should be hauled
out in the winter, the fall, or the
spring, but one point may be re-
garded as settled, which is that
every bit of manure in the barn
yard should be used on the farm
The writer goes on to say:
There is not an acre of land that
is being cropped that does not need
continued fertilization. If any one
doubts it, the experiment is easily
made of putting manure on a part
of the field and leaving the remain
der unmanured and watching the
result. But whether to haul out
the barn refuse in the winter OF
wait till spring will be a question
On the one side is the fact that ii
improves the manure to stand in
heaps and rot, or rather it improves
it's condition for hauling, and II
more rapidly mixes with and DO.
comes a part of the soil, so that Its
immediate effects are much greater
On the other hand, if the manure
is hauled on the field in the winter
and spread on the ground, while
it does not rot, the melting SHOWS
and the spring rains wash from it
into the soil all he liquid in it that
would, if the manure was left in
heaps IN the yard, be washed away.
The main reason for hauling the
manure in the winter, however, is
that there is then much more time
to do it, and that it is much more
easily drawn over the frozen
ground in the spring. This adj
vantage is so great that we do not
see why every farmer should not
use the winter months to scatter
all the manure possible on bis
fields.
Where a wagon is available that
can be spared for that purpose, it
is an excellent plan to keep it
where the refuse from the barn and
stable can be thrown on 1t and
taken to the field as often as the
wagon Is loaded. This saves much
rehandling and much time. The
old theOr, is that the ammonia that
is in the manure would be wasted
by evaporation. While it is true
that some is lost, the quantity is
so small that it is not worthy Of
thought, if any advantage is to be
gained in any other way. 1t is also
true that on some kinds of ground
the liquids from the manure might
be carried away to some extent,
but this is very small. AS a rule,
the teams on the farm do not get
any more exercise than they need
in winter, and the hauling out of
the manure will give them needed
exercise.
