The Empty Wagon.

Prof. H. E. StOckbridge wrote tht
following article for the New England
Farmer:
A prominent agricultural journal re
Gently offered its readers the following
editorial advice: Don't drive int
town with an empty wagon, and dom
drive back with an empty wagon. The
latter is the more serious offence. II
a load of manure at the livery stable
and see the brown earth smile back at
you with fields of living green.''
The advice Of load both ways is OF
itself doubtless good. When adopted
as rule of practice for the farmer and
his team in travelling to and from
town. the recommendation is most un-
fortunate. 1t is half true theory
which can lead only to misfortune.
The very nature of the farm business
renders the practice of this theory alb
surd and impossible. The farm pro-
duces raw materials, bulky crops to be
converted into more concentrated ar
ticles. The town is the market place
for the bulky products of the farm,
and is the source of supply of less
bulky manufactured articles. In the
very nature of things, therefore, more
loads must leave the farm THAN can
find their way back there from the
town. The wagon NUT, of necessity,
often return empty. The load of
wheat returns to the farm as a barrel
of -four, the load of potatoes as ii box
of starch. the load of cotton or wool
as few yards of cloth. Possibly, the
load of hay may return to the farm
as IA single sack of fertilizer. 1t is
easily seen that any general at
tempt to load equally both ways must
be useless and impossible.
Even where this natural obstacle to
the double loading idea does not exist,
there are two reasons which must rem

place, going there loaded means some
thing to sell, cash received. Return
ing to the farm loaded means sOmeth-
ing bought, money spent. 1t must be
perfectly apparent that the more often
the wagon returns empty, in proper
ton to the full loads carried to town,
received, the more money is saved
Full loads to town, and empty wagons

Second. the advice to load the empty
| wagon with manure demands atten-
ton. Though stable manure is often
Indispensable, this condition is becOm-
ing constantly less frequent. Even on
farms where much live stock is kept,
convenience is often the chief reason
for the use of manure.
Even the strongest advocates of ma
nure admit that its value lies largely
i'm its physical influence on the soil,
and that mere plant food can usually
be bought more economically I'm some
commercial form. Green manuring
and the growing of legumes, nitrogen
gatherers. render the use of manure
less and less necessary. Its purchase
is becoming more and more confined
to market gardens located close to the
supply, and whose business prevents
the rotation and use of legumes which
render manure less important 1t
must be remembered that the very men
who use manure to meet certain re-
quirementS are usually among the
heaviest users of commercial fertil-
izers.
Admitting that manure is seldom in
dispensable. its use becomes simply a
question of economy. Its cost to the
consumer must determine the advisa-
bility of its use. 1t is unquestiOnably
very valuable. 1t should never be
wasted, and all that any farm can pro-
duce, under the system of cropping fol-
lowed, should be supplied to the land
producing it.
The question before us is the advisa-
bility of purchasing additional sup
plies. Shall manure be bought and
hauled to the farm that the wagon may
not return empty? The cost of haul
ing even though the wagon might
otherwise return empty, must be in
cluded i'm the actual cost of the manure
The distance and kind of road must
control this item. When
the comparative value of manure and
other fertilizers is considered, l be-
Iieve that, on general principles, five
miles will measure the limit of pro-
fitable manure hauling, under most
favorable conditions of price and road.
Under average conditions of necessity,
price and cost of hauling, there is no
economy in hauling average manure
over two miles.
When it is remembered that a ton of
average manure contains but about -
pounds of actual plant food, phOsphOr
