SMALL BARNYARDS ARE BEST.
IL. D. Shocks In Orange Judd Farmer.1
From an economic standpoint most
barnyards are too large. The loss OF
fertility is far greater in a large than
/ in small one. This loss is not so no.
ticeable in newly settled fertile sections
OF the country as in states east OF the
Mississippi river. where the once fer
title land has been robbed OF its organic
matter. Thousands of farmers lose
every year in keeping the stock in large
yards during the feeding season enough
fertility to equal in value a ton or more
| of the most extensive commercial fer
tilizer. II the yard is large with a
high, dry place at one side, the stock
Twill congregate there and the riches,
ldroppings are lost by being trampled in
and mixed with the soil. unless the SUR
4 face soil is all hauled to the field, which
lit would often pay to do. Many yards
Iextend to the creek or are located on a
hillside. From there the loss is also
HEAVY, unless the washings extend over
4 a pasture or cultivated field The bet
ter plan is to make the yard as small
las possible consistent with convenience
also have 1t protected by roof to q
j ~reaf eYfert. The saving OF fertility
and comfort Of stock will pay big an.
nual interest on the investment.
