MANURE WASTING.
Hauling Direct from Stable or sheds t,

tuc rum
To a considerable extent the manner
of handling or managing the manure
on the farm is undergoing a change.
Many that formerly considered it neces-
sary to rot thoroughly before hauling
out and applying are now willing to
haul out fresh from the stables. Many
that considered it best to haul out and
apply on stubble land and then pillow
under as soon as possible, will now APP.
ply on plowed land during the winter,
as on grass land, and allow the rain CT
snow to carry into the soil.
1t used to be consideved great waste
to apply manure on the surface and LET
it remain ever so short a time, es.
pecially fresh, coarse manure direct
from the stables, under the impression
that there was very considerable loss
by evaporation and teaching
In many cases there is some less Of
ammonia by evaporation, but ;hnt
amount is comparatively small, wist't
under anything like ordinary cond;
tons the loss by teaching is not any
more than if left in the stable or feeG
lots if as much, as the soil will take ur
a large per cent. of the soluble portions
if the application is made either OF
plowed land or meadows.
On hard smooth stubble land anC
especially if badly broken a hard beat
ing rain may carry some of the soluble
portions away. But with little man
agement there can always be eithel

manure that can be secured on the farm

results can be secured by spreading

DISTRIBUTION OF SEED.
How to Assure Rapid Growth and Good
Yield of Crops.

Yield of Crops
The more evenly seed can be dis
tributed over the surface the better the
growth and yield of crops, The fer
tility and condition of the soil must
determine the amount of seed. that
must be used On thin SOIL if the
plants stand too close together, there
will not be a sufficient amount of avail
able plant food to secure vigorous
growth.
One advantage with drill planting of
corn, potatoes and cane, and in fact all
cultivated crops is that the plants be-
ing more evenly distributed secure a
better supply of plant food than if two
Or three plants must draw their supply
from the same area.
With small grain crops like wheat,
oats, rye or bucllwheat the seed must
be distributed evenly if the best results
are secured, as having some places
thin and other places thick will make
a difference in the growth and yield,
One of the principal advantages ip
using the drill or sceder in sowing small
grain or grass, and the planter or drill
with the cultivated crops is that the
seed will be distributed more evenly
than will be done by hand.
Having the soil in a good filth before
planting or sowing the seed will help
materially in securing good stand;
the seed will not only be distributed
more evenly but better termination
will also be secured. Having the sol
in good condition, sowing the seed il
good season, taking pains TO distribute
evenly and having seed of good quail
ity are all important items il securing
a good stand, and the better this /,
done the better the gre with and yielC
of the crop.
With all cultivated crops, in many
cases it is better to use plenty of seed
and thin out rather than to be obliged
to replant, but with all grass or small
grain seeds care should be taken onll
to SOW the quantity it : desired t,
have grow, provided of course that tn,
conditions are reasonably favorable
