1T ACTS LIKE MAGIC.
Use of Manure Spreader Has Won
derful Effect Upon Fertility.

derful Effect Upon Fertility.
/ saw today a man pitching into a
manure spreader stable manure from
large pile in the field where it had lain
until it was partially rotted and where
It had been stirred several times with
forks / was interested, says a writer
in Greeu Fruit Grower, and waited for
the man to load his wheeled spreader
drawn by two horses and saw him pass
up and down through the field several
times. This manure spreading machine
is a modern device.
1t spreads the manure more evenly
than any man can do the work, no
matter how careful or experienced he
may be. There was scarcely an inch OF
soil on the field that was not covered
with a slight spread of manure, the
machine covering about eight feet in
width each time it crossed the field.
But it would seem impossible that
such slight covering of manure
should have, as 1t does, such marvellous
effect upon the soil. This fertilizer
really acts like magic. 1t Is not alone
the fertility Wnlcn the manure COLI
tains which benefits the land. The ma
nure helps us to set at work bacteria in
the soil, thus in a measure inoculates
the soil with helpful creatures that
continue their work. Further than this
the manure tends to loosen the soil and
to make it crumble easily under the
pillow and harrow.
I he successful farmer of the past has
made the accumulation, protection anC
application of stable manure specia
study. The poor. improvident farmer
allows half the value of his stable ma
nure to waste by heating or by being
leached by heavy storms. as may bt
seen by the colored streams OF watel
running away from his barnyard.

Protect the shrubs with n

Mulch the lawn. If there are
thin spots give it an extra coat

clean stable mixture, putting on
straw to hide 1t. This ugly COW
ering, which snow will usually
hide, will assure a beautiful
sward in the spring.
Start a compost heap. A good
gardener never burns leaves, but
keeps them in q compost be-
tween layers of stable litter, rot
ting for use in the spring.
