HANDLING MANURE

note that you advise spres d. ing manure as soon as hauled to the field, instead of piling, as saving labor. If it is not pos sible to blow under al once. be- ing left to the sun, would not the manure lose great deal Of its strength and value, and would not the loss amount to as much or more then the saving of labor in piling till ready to spread and blow undea? l have the impres. sion that manure lying on t h e surface depreciates rapidly.
 Your impression is altogether wrong. It loses, when spread. some moisture perhaps. but if piled it will heat and lose am- monia rapidly. Spreading it on the surface and letting it lie there all winter is the best way to handle it. One of the experi- ment stations made an experi ment by spreading manure on one plot in the fall and blowing it under. On another plot it was left on the surface all winter. On a third it was spread in the spring, and all plowed and plant ed to corn. The :plot where the manure lay all winter on top of the ground made by far the best crop of corn. Spreading direct ly from the stables saves labor and manure too. Progressive Farmer.
