Hen Manure.

Hen manure as fertilizer has greater value than any other fertili- Fer on the farm. It is generally sup posed by some poultrymen that the manure wik pay for taking care of the hens. but this depends much on how 1t is kept The dropping boards under the roosts should be kept covered with some absorbent to preserve the strength of the droppings Land plas, ter or South Carolina rock Is good. Never use wood ashes or lime with the poultry droppings. The ammonia. or nitrogen would. be set free, and part of the value of the fertilizer lost. The droppings should not be applied to the soil as made. but used on a growing crop. or covered soil. We use 1t on corn by putting handful on each hill at the time of last hoeing IL should be kept under cover until used.
