HANDLE MANURE
DIRECT Is BEST


On the subject OF hauling manure,
Professor Gilmore OF the New York
experiment station. says:
I'VE think. all things considered, II
Is better to haul manure directly from
the stable to the fields than It Is TO
pile II up for any length OF time.
"If well-rotted manure is desired
for trucking purposes or for top
dressing for hay lands. then 1t must
be stored. but under ordinary condi.
tions for this purpose losses from 20
to 45 per cent. In the fertilizing value
OF manure occur. and II II is not kept
reasonably wet and stirred from time
to time, excessive fermentation re-
suits, to say nothing OF dry burning
and teaching. Losses amounting to
81 to 81 per cent. have been recorded
when manure has been exposed to
weather.
This loss refers mainly to the fer.
tilixing material In the manure. IL Is
still available as humus or organic
matter when applied to the soil"
