Some Reasons Advanced For Postpon-
ing the Work.
There is no best time to haul ma
nure that will apply In all cases The
matter depends upon conditions. In
one case 1t might be well to haul and
spread directly on the field as fast as
the manure is made. and in another
case such a proceeding might involve
considerable loss. 1t Is good judgment
In this as In other things that counts
In the end. remarks a writer in Orange
Judd Farmer
Hauling manure directly from the
stable to the field In winter is econom-
Ical Of labor. inasmuch as II may be
done with sleighs when there is not
much other work to do but 1t is not
economical of manure II the manure
of the land 1t is hauled on to Is such
that the fertilizing elements Of the
manure will be largely lost by leach
ing and running away. Such condi-
lions would be met on billy ground,
where the water would run into the
holows and carry the fertiizlng ele-
ments with 1t or In waterways where
spring freshets run.
More or Less Loss.
There Is more or less loss on all
fields from this cause since the ground
is usually sufficiently frozen when the
spring thaw comes to cause more or
less water to run away before the
ground thaws sufficiently to allow OF
its soaking in. The question to decide,
then is as to whether the loss from
teaching in the field will be greater
than what would be encountered In
the pile.
Formerly preferred to haul directly
TO the fields in winter. but with the
perfection of the litter carrier and the
manure sprea Ter am better satisfied
with the results of dumping the ma
nure under cover and hauling 1t out In
the spring.
do not favor the plan Of hauling
manure on grass or clover, especially
