Saving Manure.

In the handling of barnyard manure
IL is our practice to clean
out the stables and keep thu
manure in the yard well rotted. We
recognize the value of liquiS manure
and save as much of it az possible but
have no special continuance for that
purpose. Bedding helps to do this,
and / use tbs a great deal. We do
very little composing. We do not
haul out our manure in winter. spring
or in summer, usually hauling out
only in the following autumn. In our
experience the best method for hand
ling and applying barnyard manure Is
to let it become well-rotted in the
barnyard and then apply it evenly
The time of application matters but
little if the manure is well rotted
