RIO. uI-AoouMuLATIos OF MANURE
10 the land ms fast as formed when
II is allowed TO decay 10 the barnyard
much Of the nitrogen is lost, and rains
falling upon II also wash out other ele'
ments. The manure spreader Is an
Implement that should be found In
every BARNARD. The manure can be
loaded direct from the stables TO the
tpreader al almost all seasons OF the
year and spread In an even layer upon
the field. With n spreader the manure
can be made TO cover twice as much
ground. so that the whole farm can be
gone over oftener.
While barnyard manure is undoubt'
edly one Of the best means OF main
tanning fertility, It cannot always be
had. Many farmers, because OF their
location near markets which demand
certain crops, find It more profitable TO
mppiy those crops than to raise I'VE
stock. Others prefer grain farming
because II Is less combining. Such farm
crs must have some method OF main
tanning fertility which does not depend
primarily upon manure.
The Value OF Clover.
The best substitute for manure Is
clover. Glover supplies an abundance
~ nitrogen. the most rapidly used OF
the three essential elements. Three
fourths Of the air Is made up OF nj
trogen. Clover and other leguminous
crops are able to get nitrogen from
| his source by means OF bacteria which
| i've on their roots These bacteria
change the nitrogen of the air into nj
trates. a form IN which II can be used
by the plants. Fully one-third OF the
nitrogen collected by the clover plant
Is left In the soil In the roots and stub
bic One crop Of clover IN four year
rotation will furnish nearly enough nj
trogen for the remaining three crops
In the rotation.
This is much cheaper form OF OBJ
tanning nitrogen than by purchasing II
IN commercial fertilizers at 10 to IL
cents n pound II Is much more proht'
able to keep the nitrogen supply fairly
constant by the continued use OF no
tation with legnmes than to add q
| large amount ut one time. Nitrogen II
| the form OF niirates is readily soluble
and every rain washes some OF 1t ou'
| Of the soil This Is not true or the
other essential elements to any marked
extent Too liberal a supply OF nitro
| gen AT one time tends also to promote
too rapid leaf growth at the expense
Of fruit or grain.
The stubbe and roots Of the clover
together with the cornstalks and othel
rubbish, will do great deal to Keel
up the humus supply. In addition Il

some humus may have to be supplied

cially true II the soil Is naturally poor
In humus. One OF the simplest ways
to supply this Is by green maturing
This means the turning under OF a
green crop. such as clover, cowpeas or
some other legume. This supplies both
