A simple and inexpensive protection
for the manure, such as is illustrated
herewith, is not out of the reach of
anyone, however, and with it's use the
manure can be kept safe from all
teaching. The manure is usually
thrown out in heaps by the side of the
barn. A shed roof can be built over
these at small expense. The cut shows
the method of framing. the dotted
lines showing the boarding of the
ends. The only mistake likely to be
made is in getting the roof too narrow,
with the result that rains accompanied
by wind may beat in and wash the
outer part of the piles, which will
spread out upon the ground more or
less, even with careful management.
The outer edge Of the roof need be
only high enough that cart can be
backed under it, and being thus low
will aid not little in keeping out the
rain; but even with a low roof I should
want a width of at least twelve feet,
and good gutter upon the outer edge.
Let the ground be level under such
shed roof, or, at most, but slightly
sloping, else the manure will be con-
tinually rolling out from under the
shelter of the roof when thrown out of
the windows.
Where such an arrangement is used,
care must be taken to have the cattle
stalls well lighted from the ends OF the
barn.-Webb Donnell, in \, 7. Crib

marsh will support man, cured and
cooked on a number of piles as shown
in the cut. If the cock is intended for
a large one, boards are laid over a
dozen or more piles; if small. the hay
is laid on the pile heads During the
winter when the ground is frozen, the
hay is easily removed by horse end

STACKING MARSH HAY.

This Article Tells How 1t Can Be Done
to Advantage.
Owners of swamps and swales along
the coast frequently find it impossible
to store hay during the summer season
because Of softness of soil and water
ways preventing the use of horse and
wagon. Along the seashore the hay is
cut during dry period when the
