neither manure cellars beneath the
cattle nor tight manure cutters behind
them near by, nearly or quite half Of
the value of the stable dressing will be
lost. With good supply of absorbents
all the liquid manure will be saved, the
stable will be kept neater and the air
purer. If dry loan or sawdust is not
at hand, it will pay to go to the woods
and secure supply of dry leaves. Not
only will these make a good bed for the
cows and prove good absorbent for
the liquids. but the decay of the leaves
also will add not little fertility to the
manure pile, and eventually to the soil.
