MAKE USE OF STABLE MANURE.

At this season of the year there
has accumulated on the average
| farm, more or less valuable manure.
| The late fall, before the piles freeze
is good time to haul them out onto
the land where the will do some
good. Generally speaking, meadow
or pasture is the best place to apply
this manure. This is especially true
where the rainfall is light. Trashy
manure applied to land and p'oweo
under often does serious damage to
the succeeding crop. 1t does not de-
compose readily without a considera-
bic amount of moisture and heat. The
furrow slice is left separated from
the sub-soil by the layer of coarse
material and capillarity partially cut
off. Consequently decreased yield
results and the application of ma
nure is condemned. This or course
would not occur If the manure is we'll
rotted but there is moro or less
trashy material in the average barn
yard manure.
If applied thinly and uniformly,
about ten loads per acre, to sod land
this danger is avoided, no matter
how coarse the manure. The rains
and.-snows wash out the 81 soluable
constituents and carry them into the
soil where they are available as soon
as warm weather comes and growth
starts. "H q, r, -
Some will hold that the particular
soil they are tilling is inexhaustable.
Don t fool yourself into believing any
thing of the kind. Every crop taken
off the land removes a part of the
fertilizing elements, ard unless these
are returned In some form, the fer
tility of the land slowly but surely!1
decreases. Therefore, haul out the
manure piled about your stables and
not only improve the appearance of
your premises but improve your land
as we'll.
