The Manure Pit.

Where is the wise farmer who would

corn or a load of some green crop fol-

yard manure for 81 a load. Others
are wasting the most valuable constitu.
ents of the manure they save. The
manure produced on the farm is its
most valuable asset.
There are in the United States, in
round numbers, 100000 horses, 61,-
100000 cattle, 47,O00,000 hogs and 49,
100000 sheep. Experiments have
shown that If these animals were kept

yards have obtained unsatisfactory re.
suits, but the Department of Agricul-
ture believes that this is probably due
to the fact that these structures have
generally been loosely put together,
allowing a free circulation Of air,
which has dried out the manure. On
this account barn cellars, so common
in New England, possess decided ad.
vantages as receptacles for manure.
The common practice of allowing
swine to "work over" the manure in
these cellars is a wise one, since it
mixes the manure and keeps it well
packed and moist In fact, if these
cellars are provided with impervious
lotions to hold the liquid manure,
this system of storage is probably the
most perfect practiced.
Manure the Best Fertilizer.
Barnyard manure is the most ef-
fective means at the disposal of the
average farmer to permanently i'm
prove his soil. No other fertilizer pos
sesses to so great a degree the power
of restoring worn out soils to produc-
tiveness and giving them lasting fer
tility. 20 1t provides actual fertilizing
constituents; it improves the physical
properties Of the soil, increasing the
amount of humus, which is generally
deficient in worn soils, bettering it's
texture and increasing its water-ab-
sorbing and water-holding power. EX-
periments have shown that the influ-
ence OF manure may be perceptible
twenty years after application. 1t di-
rectly represents fertility drawn from
the soil and must be returned to it
If productiveness is to be maintained.
In many cases it has been demon.

with coarse litter, and the whole kept
firmly packed by allowing animals to
run over it, thus preventing injurious
fermentation.
To Save All the Fertility.
A more elaborate and expensive
style of covered yard, a plan for which
is furnished by the Department of
Agriculture, provides not only for the
required protection of both animals
and manure, but also affords an ex-
cellent grain chamber where feed can
be stored for convenient use. Under
the side roofs is also afforded a chance
for the storing of small tools and a
great variety of articles that are con-
tinually in the way when lying about
the farm buildings. 1t also provides
splendid protection to animals when
housed at night during the summer,
this roof protecting them from heavy
showers in the night and affording
good chance for exercise in the win
ter, as all the sides, except that
toward the south, can be protected
against cold winds through tempo
rary boarding.
Many stables are so situated that
by adding a cheap lean-to, a manure
"pit" is easily produced The out
side boarding of the lean-to should
be, for a part of the way at least, put
horizontally and hung in the form of
fiat doors, so that the manure can be
easily loaded on a wagon standing on
the outside of the building.

RaLLIeSnake Den.

We were numbering in central Penn
sylvania during the summer of 1870,
our portable steam mill standing in
piece of woodland, near a small
stream and within a short half mile
of rocky ledge, known as Rattle
snake Den"
During the hot days, rattlers were
constantly met, and Harry" who
drove the daily stage through the "Nar-
rows" had won quite a local reputa-
tion from having killed more than a
score since the melting of the SHOWS.
The pretty young wife of our en-
gineer had charge of the boarding
house, and after the noon meal was
served, the dishes cleared away and
the house put in order, she was ac-
customed to bring her sewing into the
shade near our Planer, which was the
cleanest and coolest part of the mill,
and sit for an hour or two before COM
mencing the preparation of the sup

strated that the value Of the manure
obtained in cattle feeding represents
largely, If not entirely, the profit of
feeding. There are sound, scientific
reasons for the high esteem in which
farm manure is held. 1t contains all
the fertilizing elements required by
plants in quickly available forms that
insure plentiful crops and permanent
fertility. 1t supplies nitrogen, phos-
phoric acid and potash, and it also rem
ders the stored-up materials of the
soil more available, makes it more fri
able and warmer, and enables it to
retain more moisture.

annually would be $27, by each head Of
cattle $40, by each hog S12 and by
each sheep 50. The fertilizing value
of all the manure produced would,
therefore, be for horses, $459, 100000;

and sheep, S90,OO0,000, or a total Of

point. On the other hand, no account
is here taken of the value of manure
for improving the mechanical condi.
tion and drainage of soils which is
almost as important a consideration
as its direct fertilizing value. 1t is
generally conceded that at least one.

If a farmer desires to maintain the
productiveness of - his land, it is es-
sential that the amount of potash,

should be restored through an intel.
