PRESERVING MANURE,
How to Take Care of Fcrtilixing Materials
During the Cold Season.


During the Cold Season.
Winter is the season for making
barn-yard manure. Its value depends
much on the kind Of feed eaten by the
animals. Cattle given, as many are.
little besides straw and corn-fodder in
the field, make manure of compara-
lively low value. Animals fed grain
rich in nitrogen. phosphorus, potash,
etc, such as bran. oil-meal oats and
similar foods. produce manure of high
value. Poultry, hogs and horses make
more valuable manure, as rule. than
cattle, because their rations are
richer in those elements most valued
for fcrtilizing purposes. With
superior stock. better feeding and care
there must come improved methods Of
.aving manure. The Western method
of feeding on q side hill, near a
stream. where the summer rains can
clean off the lot for tho next winters
feeding, must be changed so that
every thing can be saved until sum,
mer, or taken to the fields as fast as
made. Keeping it in piles two to four
feet deep with level top is the best
way to preseve it, unless 1t be in eel.
lars. The object is to keep enough
moisture in the mass to prevent its
"iire fanging." Rains and melting
SHOWS usually supply sho moisture.
but It is often advisable to be able to
add more water when tho pile be-
comes too warm. A wheel-barrow
with large wheel and bowl.like box
is very convenient for removing ma
nure from the stalls to q pile In the
yard, or for collecting that scattered
over the feed yard.
The arrangement OF barns. sheds
and yards has much to do with tho
economical han ding Of manure.
Where practicable it pays to have barns
built so tho manure from all classes
Of animals can be dumped together
In the manure wagon to be hauled
to the field as load accumulates, or
collects In a common pile where 1t can
Torment together. Into this pile all
the waste hay. straw, or other, fodder
should be thrown. Small yards are
preferable to large ones whore ma

simple enough and had numerous defects,

There are now three kinds of Thermometers

named, is the one generally employed in this
