WINTER MATURING.
Spreading Manure on snow The
Modern Notion Approved.


An early and heavy snow fall, while
tending to diminish natural losses of
plant food. is apt to favor artificial
losses. II Is apt to deter the farmer
from hauling out his manure supply.
Too many farmers hold to the mis-
taken notion that spreading manure
upon the snow is a wasteful practice,
that much of its value is lost by leach
ing and by running off Of the surface
in the spring. They point to darkened
SHOWS, to discolored waters and to
greener meadows at the base of the
hillsides as proof of these losses. 1t is
probably true that some loss occurs In
supposed. Those who are frightened
by this, however should study the
barn losses, should know that, as or
dnarily kept, manure deteriorates
more in the barn cellar or in the ma
nure heap than it does in the field;
that it is better for manure to leach
on the soil it is meant to fertilize than
in proximity to the barn and the family
well; that it will ferment less outdoors
than it will indoors; that, in short, ex-
pertinent and experience alike show
that the housing of manure in the
winter for spring hauling is seldom
better and generally worse than spread
ing it upon the snow as fast as it is
made. Some will be lost if spread;
more, however, will be lost if kept at
the barn, and the springs work will
be just so much the further behind.
Experiment station bulletins preach
this doctrine, institute speakers pro-
pound it and farmers are yearly prac-
ticing it more extensively. 1t is the
modern notion and the right one.
The winter manuring of a steep side
hill may not be advisable, but mod
crate slopes or level pieces of not too
leachy land may be safely fortified
any day in the year, according TO the
