MANURE IN THE BOX STALLS
More Bedding Is Required to Keep
Animal Clean-IdeaI Breeding
Place for Flies.
(By ]. N. ALLEN.)

w.
The production of manure in the
box stall is probably the best of the
old methods, since it requires the
least expenditure of labor However,
more bedding is required to keep the
animal clean and the accumulated
manure furnishes an ideal breeding
place for flies.
The manure SO produced, if kept
evenly distributed over the floor, will
be thoroughly compacted and will sus-
tain only small loss of nitrogen so
long as the animal remains upon it,
but If the manure is allowed to remain
in the stall after the animal is removed
there will be considerable loss of nitro
gen both as ammonia and as free nitro
gen, due to the drying out and break
ing up of the uric acid into ammonium
carbonate, and to the action of the
bacteria on the organic nitrogen COM
pounds.
