STABLE MANURE

Undoubtedly some stable manure
has accumulated about the buildings
during the rush of harvest, th-eshing,
and corn picking 1t is a good plan to
get this out onto the field just as soon
as possible. If there come few
nice days after corn husking you will
md 1t advantageous to use this time
cleaning up the yards.
1t the stable manure Is allowed to
stand In piles during the winter
months great deal of its value is apt
to be lost by heating. 1t Is common
thing to see piles OF stable manure
steaming during the winter months.
This is due to heat from the pile and
II 1t were possible for us to see just
what was taking place we would find
that nitrogen was escaping. AS nitro
gen Is one of the most important plant
food elements, it Is good plan to
follow methods of handling the ma
nure SO as not to lose 1t. An ordinary
load OF stable manure will contain
about 10 pounds Of nitrogen. which If
bought on the market IN a CONNER
cal form will cost 25 cents a pound
Not only is the nitrogen escaping, but
the vegetable matter which is SO i'm
portant in many soils is being de-
stroyed by burning.
The summers accumulation of ma
nure can be conveniently and prof
itably applied to winter wheat or to
meadow which we expect to put into
corn next year. It is not advisable to
apply manure at this time of the
season on hillsides or where 1t is apt
to be washed away. 1t is always
advisable to apply fertilizer of this
kind to the highest parts of the field
It is very generally conceded that
best returns are obtained from light
application from the fact that manure
applied in this way is much easier
Incorporated with the soil than il
spread in large quantities. The only
practical way Of applying manure
uniformly is by the use of manure
spreader and every farmer who raises
stock should consider his farm equip
ment incomrlete unless he has a ma
nure spreader

+. CLOVER

We have often called attention to
the fact that every farmer should
whenever sowing grass OF any kind In
clude some one Of the varieties of
clover. If you expect to use your
land for meadow purposes then one of
the larger varieties, viz, the Nam
moth Red or Common Red clover
would probably serve your purpose
best. If you expect to use the land
both for pasture and for hay, the
Alsike clover will serve your purpose
best. While on the other hand, If you
expect to pasture the land, then we
would recommend a combination OF
Alsike and White clover.
There are several ways in which
one can obtain a stand of clover. The
first under consideration is to com.
bine clover and timothy with winter
wheat, sowing them at the same time
along the last part of September.
Glover should not be sown at this
time, however provided you are par
ticularly anxious to obtain a stand.
Clover sown in the fall will winter
kill very badly under normal condi-
tons and for this reason it is not adj
visable to sow clover during the fall
OF the year. With timothy it may DE
sown with the wheat at the same
time, either scattering the seed in
front of the drill or by sowing the
seed first and drilling the wheat later,
then covering it by the use of the peg
tooth harrow. The clover may be
sown just before it freezes up in the
winter, but we do not recommend
this practice, because of the uncer-
tainty of the weather, but prefer wait
ing until spring to sow the clover
seed. Durint the latter part of Feb
ruary or Thu, first of March, just be-
for the spring thaws begin and when
the land is in rough and frozen con.
dition is the best time to add the
clover seed The heaving due to
freezing and thawing will cover the
seed sufficient under most condi-
tons. However. if the land is sandy
this practice might not be successful
and we do rot recomn end 1t but on
the other haud if your sell contains a
large amour of clay you could expect
success by following this method.
Another way of sowing timothy and
clover but one which requires a little
more Judgment on the part of the
farmer is to SOW the wheat in the fall
and add the clover and timothy in the
spring after The land has thawed out
and the suyiacc become dry. The

SHALL | PLOW OR DISK?

George Duncan Tilley, Alberta,
writes as follows Referring to your
ad. in Calgary Herald about giving
advice on crops, etc., should like
to have your suggestions on some
points. On prairie soil broken for the
first time in the fall of 1911, have
harvested forty-nine acres of wheat
and forty acres of corn. The land was
plowed five inches deep. In preparing
the land for next years crop, do you
think that disking the stubble would
be sufficient, or should the land be
plowed? What crops should follow
wheat and oats?"
As general practice, the land should
be- plowed once year unless there are
unusual climatic conditions. II there
had been practically no rain and the
ground was very loose, you might get
satisfactory results by only disking
However, 1t has been the mistake OF
q great many in the northwestern
territory to think that they could
raise satisfactory crops without doing
the amount Of work on the land that
they should do. The result has been
that in many places they have worn
the land out much more rapidly than
was necessary. 1t is advisable not to
begin the practice of only disking.
Better try blowing again.
You will perhaps not need to pillow
the ground any deeper than it was
plowed last year, but ordinarily the
result will warrant your doing this
by leaving a part of your ground and
only disking it, and if you do we would
be very pleased to know the result.
One OF the drawbacks TO Canadian
farming is lack of system of crop
rotation. By all means plan on ro-
tation of crops. which will include
wheat, oats, and barley. and some
leguminous crop. This may be clover,
alfalfa. Canadian field peas or some
other similar crop that will do vel, In
your specific locality. II you can grow
corn, 1t would be we'll to include this
in your rotation.
We have mailed to you under
separate cover copy Of our booklet
For Better Crops" and assure you
that you will not be able to spend your
evenings to better advantage than in
reading this book carefully. We would
call your attention especially to the
first article by Professor Hopkins, who

Dian is to SOW the clover and timothy
combined at this time by using a peg
tooth harrow, which not only covers
the seed but cultivates the wheat at
the same time. The timothy will not
show up with the first season, but you
ought to get a coed crop OF clover and
the timothy will come on later.
Either OF the latter two methods
ought to give you fairly good returns
II you expect to leave this field seed
ed down for any length Of time it
would be a good plan to add two or
three pounds Of Bluegrass seed when
sowing the timothy.
