NOTES OF THE FARM. :;
By W. F. MASSEY, OF A. & M. College,


one OF the most encouraging indl-
ra+ionS is the fact that here and there
CORNERS in North Carolina are taking
.n interest in cattle feeding and the
dairy. The increased culture OF the
rea has given so much more feed that
ore3ter interest is being taken in
rne use of this splendid forage Tor
feeding animals and making the fin
est and richest manure. \ farmer
writes: = would be pleased to have
.osr opinion and advice as to the
Dper and most economical way ire
o.lts being considereoD of utilizing
thc manure from % COWS that are
kept uron a plank floor, with box
arranged 50 as to receive the drop
a;n.y~. which are carefully cleaned mp
luc- a day and carried out. For the
present | am carrying it direct TO
where it is 10 be applied and put IN
-lnall piles 20 feet apart, and mixed or
,.oInDC1ted with the soil. When | get
!.,ady to plant. rows will be run OFT,
manure drilled and acid phosphate at
rate OF 200 pounds per acre applied.
Then TWO burrows thrown upon 1t
with Il turn pIoW, and it is ready to
plant either corn or cotton or mlllet.
/ do this to save the expense OF 4
second handling. Ii YOU can give me
