The Compost Heap the "SaV-
ings Bank" of the Farm.

There is quite difference between a
compost heap and 4 manure heap. When
manure IS thrown on heap, left undis-
turbed, and exposed to all kinds of
weather, it suffers loss Of fertilizing mat
ter in many different ways; bat the COM
post heap is a veritable mandatory Of
fertilizer. and is more valuable for all
purposes than manure from the stable.
While the food and the management Of
the manure gives its value, th : farmer is
limited to such amount as may be Yoided
by his animals but the compost heap
opens wider field for his operations by
enabling him to make more manure than
he could secure from ms animals.
The filing Of the pig-pen with large
quantities Of dirt, leaves or other litter
does not really make manure, for the pig
cannot make something out of nothing.
He works and roots in the litter, mixing
it with the manure, and at the end Of the
year the farmer hauls away several loads
of what he considers frst-class manure.
but he has secured no more real manure
than the pig would have produced under
any circumstances, whether he had litter
or not. and the mass is nothing more nor
less than compost, but it viii show as
good results as any other kind Of manure
because il is composed Of absorbent ma
terial that has preserved the manure and
PREVENT loss Of value. The making Of
compost is the accumulation of any and
everything that can be added to the
manure. all liquids entering into the
heap, and nothing wasted.
The compost heap Is really The @sav-
ings bank" Of the farm, for it induces .he
farmer not only TO accumulate, bnt tc
save. The weeds, feathers, blood from
slaughtered animals, soapsuds, night soil
and even earth are thrown on the heap,
70 the advantage Of Fidding the farm Of
many unsightly objects, while the ma
nure from the stable, which becomes a
part Of the compost heap, is better pre-
served and its value increased. As all
the materials Of compost heap are fms
the farmer can more easily haul and
spread the compost, and the plants viii
find it more available as food. The com
post heap, however. should receive atten
ton. 1t should be under cover, and Oe
casionalEy forked over Though sufii
cient heat viii be generated to decom-
pose the coarse materials, yet there is
less risk of @fire fanging' than with ma
nure, and more plant food can be col
lected in this manner than from any
other mode.
