the sheltering of animals which
have been allowed to largely provided
for themselves, will begin. Other
stock which has been at pasture or
on the range will be more closely
confined to the home premises
Even should stabling not be prac-
ticed the range of stock will become
more restricted; as IA consequence
the dropings which We're, during the
earlier part of the season, distributed
over too wide an area to make the
accumulation and care of manure
impractical, now becomes feasible
and desirable. Its proper care and
preservation are therefore important,
All manure in valuable, because il
will make crops and maintain the
crop producing power of the land.
1t contains plant food without which
crops cannot be made, and without
which commercial fertilizers must
be bought at great expense. 1t sup
plies valuable material which must
be obtained at the cost Of much
money. The saving of manure is
therefore one of the greatest OF ali
possible economies. Manure is very
seldom a perfect fertilizer. For

some people it is seriously Injurious.
No one will doubt that bread is, il
properly used, Il good food, simply
because it may not be universally so.
No one will be led to throw bread,
which has cost money, away simply
because it may have hurt some indl-
viGual under certain exceptional
conditions Manure is subject to eX-
actIy the same conditions and rea-
soniug. 1t is valuable The imp0r-
tant question is, how may its value
be increased, or most protitably util-
lied.
The first important fact for consid-
pration is that of the time or cOndi-
ton in which manure should be
used. to return greatest value, There
is no question that the sooner the
manure is put into the ground where
its crop-feeding power is to be util-
lied. the better. Manure is never so
valuable as when fresh. 1t never
contains so much plant food, never
goes SO far toward making a crop, as
during its first twenty-four hours.
I The sooner. therefore, that it is put
on the field aud mixed with the soil
the better. Every hour of delay is
at the expense of lost value. There

seldom followed. Our constant sue
