Copper sulphate is made by adding sly
pounds OF sulphate al copper an" 80
pounds of lime to - gallons oi walter
First, dissolve the 'uiphate OF c"Ple' ="

1t is safe to allege that farmers would
more readily adopt the soiiine system "l
the food ON the passure the cow collects
the food herself and stores II away Tor
further prcparation after she reaches the
stall Ii is the objection to IN" ezra ia
bor and care which has pre- ven Ell many
farmers from making rr"ht. what
,hould he considered who cattle are kept
al the BARNARD and the food carried 10
them, however, is whether the labor woul
hc reouired. fewer fences needed, more
manure would be saved, and a larger pro
duction of milk and butter wO aid result
IT, sn;,;n. system would also lead to a
Greater variety of crops grown for food
and an improyement in the fertility of
,ha Ill an. tn mare manure and a better
rotation on the farm
Where do the weeds come from everA
vcar ON land that has been we'll worked
and kent clean. 1t is probable that weed
seeds are spread with the manure. ON
"anure baans even the weeds full of seed
that are cut down. This would not be OBJ
iectionable if the manure was so managed
as 10 cause the heap to heat and decom
pose. but a large portion of the manure
sIa5S ara ,.ailv nreseryed instead of de-
stroyad II every farmer would make ii
a rule TO use only well-rotted manure he
would find fewer weeds on his farm.
