This table shows at a glance the
great economy, considered from 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 to 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 even
more than where clover is used. In
stead of blowing under clover it can
be fed. The resulting manure will do
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
I'D to a very high state Of productivity
and 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 rotation
Of corn, wheat and clover at the rate
Of eight tons to the acre the average
increase in yield was 14.7 bushels OF
corn, 8.36 bushels of wheat and 6S6
pounds of clover. The value OF the
increased yields due to the eight tons
Of manure was $17.32, or $2.17 per ton
This yuo 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 1895 per ton i'll increas-
ed crop yields.
The results obtained on little rum
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 ana
the manure applied to the land. After
a 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 SOU
to the acre was received from 1t.
The effect of manure continues for
a 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.
Applying Manure.
The best results are obtained, how
ever when manure is applied fire.
quently and in comparatively small
amounts. For the ordinary field
crops an application Of eight tons to
the acre is sufficient at one time. To
get the required amount on each
acre and to get it applied evenly a
spreader is necessity. Manure spread
evenly over the ground is much more
effective than that thrown about in
