leaving it nearly all winter and then
toward spring scattering it about with
a fork. In addition to spreading the
manure more evenly, the spreader
saves work enough to warrant any
one who has much stock in buying
one.
The spreader should be kept in use
practically the year round. Manure
left in the open yard fer six months
loses nearly half its fertilizing value.
Manure kept in sheds does not lose in
value nearly so rapidly. A practice
that is sometimes followed OH dairy
farms is TO have II shed i'm connection
with the barn. Keeping the cows in this
shed most OF the time. turning them
into the barn only long enough TO I've

this is to have n small shed over the
door where the manure is thrown out.
The spreadcr can he backed into this
shed and the manure loaded directly
on TO IL Mt seasons of the year when
manure can be spread directly upon
the fields. At other times the manure
left there until 1t can be hauled.

If given time. Crops of weeds will
spring up. make considerable growth
and die down and rot In the course
of few years the humus supply will
be renewed, locked up elements of fer
tility will become available. and the
field will again produce profitable
crops.
If rotation is pracdced so as to even
up the demands on the soil, with
clover or some other legume to gather
nitrogen from the air. the soil Will
continue productive for much longer
time. Even then 1t will not keep on
yielding profitable crops always. Com
mercial fertilizers may help to stave
off the day of reckoning, but after the
farmer has contributed hundreds of
dollars TO the pockets of the fertilizer
manufacturer he will find that even
this method of maintaining fertility
cannot be depended upon.
Keeping the Soil Productive.
There are three factors on which
the productivity of tue soil primarily
depends-the amount of available min
eral plant food elements which it con-
tains, its physical condition and the
Z amount of moisture it will hold Nj
trogen, one of the three most important
chemical clements in the soil, can be
obtained from the air in unlimited
quantities by the use of legumes. such
as clover and alfalfa. The other two.
phosphorus and potassium. are present
in most soils In fairly large quantities.
although much of the supply is in
unavailable form. Good tillaga and
well planned rotations do much to
make these elements available. When
the total supply becomes low it can
be renewed by the application of ferti-
lizers. This is all, however. that fer
tilizers will do They will not i'm.
prove the physical condition of the
soil nor increase its moisture holding
capacity.
The use of liberal amounts Of clover
inftbe rotation will add to the humus
supply of the soil and so increase its
moisture holding capacity. Humus
acts like sponge. forming store
house for water that would otherwise
be wasted. Humus also improves the
physical condition Of the soil. making
Ii lighter and mellower. Take Il pan
full of clay and painful of rich black
surface soil. wet them thoroughly and
place them in the sun. When the clay
is dry il will be baked almost as hard
as brick. while q little stirring will
make the black dirt as mellow rs ever.
This difference In The two soils is due
. solely TO humus.
The humus supply cannot be main
tanned by the use of clover unless a
crop is plowed under at frequent in
tervals. 1t takes considerable time
for this clover to rot enough to form
humus. and the turning under OF so
large an amount of green matter at
once is liable to make the land sour y
This condition can be corrected by the
use of lime. but this means trouble
and expense.
The Value Of Manure.
The only way to keep The soil in the
highest possible state OF productivity
Is to keep live stock and apply the
manure TO the land. Barnyard manure
adds large amounts of the elements of
fertility TO the soil. An average of
30 per cent of the nitrogen. phosphorus
and potassium in the food eaten is
passed out in the manure. This per-
centage is highest in fattening animals
and lowest in young stock. The ele-

ms table SHOWS at glance the
great economy. considered from a fer
tility standpoint, of marketing grain
in the form Of live stock. Adding fer
tiliZing materials to the soil. however,
is only one of the ways in which ma
nure is beneficial. 1t helps 10 break
down the unavailable minerals. 1t
adds humus. and this is of kind that
mixes readily with the soil. Thus the
physical condition and water holding
capacity of the soil are improved ever
more than where clover is used. In
stead of blowing under clover it can
be fed. The resulting manure will dc
the soil almost as much good as the
clover would if turned under. Thus
both the feeding and fertiliZing values
are obtained from it. BY using regular
rotation with clover and feeding all
the rough feed and most of the grain
on the farm the soil can be brought
up to very high state of productivity
ana kept there for an indefinite period
of time.
In an experiment at the Ohio expert
ment station where manure was ap
piled every three years TO a rotation
of corn. wheat and clover ut the rate
of eight tons to the acre the average
increase in yield was III bushels OF
corn, S.3G bushels of wheat and CSC
pounds of clover. The value of the
increased yields due to the eight tons
of manure was $1I.32, or $2.1I per ton
for the manure This was for manure
that was obtained in the open yard
Manure that had been tramped down
in sheds where it was under shelter
had a value of $2.95 per ton in increas-
ed crop yields.
The results obtained on a little run
down farm in Pennsylvania strikingly
show what can be done with manure.
This farm was so badly exhausted
that it would produce scarcely any
thing. Dairying was introduced and
the manure applied TO the land After
q few years of such treatment and
without the addition of any CONNER
cial fertilizers whatever the produc-
tivity of the farm was so greatly in
creased that an annual revenue of $500
to the acre was received from IT.
The effect of manure continues for
great many years after its applica-
ton. Experiments with manfred and
unmanured land have shown that the
yield in the MANFRED plots was con-
siderably greater twenty years after
the last application Of manure was
made.
