OF stable manure, averaging twenty
bushels to the load, or 1000 bush els
or manure in ALL worth $50, to which
should be added 81 for hauling and
spreading. This was the droppings

pounds each Of manipulated guano,
cotton seed meal and kainit were also
broadcasted, and the whole was then
ploughed under Following the
plough whole cotton seed were lib

bushels being APPLIED to the acre. A
subsoH plough came after. breaking
the soil to a total depth Of IL inches
and also burytng the whole cotton
seed deeper than the other manure.
Thus the decaying seed would back
up the crop later in the eason when
its roots had penetrated below the

and a man did the pioughing also the

In one day (March -, at a total ex-

in half a day by four hands. on

lightly an inch deep by raking In the

day, washed in more soil. and covered
the seed rather deeply. There were
