The Manure spreader.


There are not many farm nipple
ments that viii pay for themselves
more quickly than manure spreader
II saves labor, but that is not the big
part Of the profit Some men must
hesitate about purchase if 1t means
only n saving Of labor. The use OF
the spreader means a great increase In
the efficiency Of the farm supply Of
manure. Some men cannot see this
point. They say that they get the
manure on the land aud that is all
that Is necessary. But it isn't Ma
nure gives life to soil even when
the application is light, and It is poor
policy to give one spot more than Is
needed while another spot is left bare
or to make a heavy application to one
acre and leave another acre without
manure We now know that 1t pays
to make the manure go over rela-
lively large acreage. Director Thorne
Of the Ohio station has said that eight
loads Of manure per acre applied with
a spreader have about as great eff
cheney as twelve loads put on roughly
with fork. Every foot gets little OF
the material, and the effect is seen in
the sod that follows or the sod to
which the manure is applied. Land
should not have heavy dressing of
manure when other land in the farm
needs manure Make the application
light and even, and only spreader
can do the work well In the interest
of better sods, which are the life Of
soil. add TO the efficiency of the ma
nure by using a spreader. Some farm
ing communities have learned this les.
son thoroughly well, while others have
barely awakened to 1t.
