The farm scientists and the theorists can preach
all they want to about the economy of the farmer
Building fine, big sheds to keep the rain of the
manure other such plans, but it goes without
saying that the average farmer isn't going to see
it that way. But he doesn't have to! The remedy
for such losses is simple In the extreme In fact.
exactly the right way of handling manure so as
to save all this loss is about the cheapest cleanest
and altogether the easiest way to handle manure.
The first step to prevent the loss of the ferzing
elements In manure is to provide plenty OF bedding
or litter In the stable to absorb and save all the
liquid. The losses due to fermentation can be
greatly checked by mixing horse manure with cow
manure and making the temporary piles compact
to as to exclude the air. and by thoroughly wetting
the manure, which will assist In excluding the air
and also reduce the temperature.
The ideal way on the average farm is to follow
the plan all through the year, of hauling manure
directly from the stable and spreading 1t at once.
There is q generally prevailing notion among farm
ers that If manure is hauled and spread in mid
summer, the will scorch 1t to a cinder and burn
all the good out of it, The government agricultural
station in Maryland, just outside of Washington
decided to determine this matter accurately, and
its analytical experiments have exploded two very
common beliefs, the summer-burning theory being
one of them. The other common belief which has
been blown to atoms is that 1t is better to pillow
manure under in the fall than to leave 1t exposed
on the lands surface during the winter and then
pillow it under in the spring.
In the first instance manure spread In burning"
July and allowed to stand until the following
spring gave better results in carefully checked ex-
periments than that spread In the following spring
Just before blowing In the second series Of ex-
periments, better yields were secured after allow
ing the manure to lie top of the land all winter
and blowing 1t under in the spring than were OBJ
tanned from blowing 1t under in the fall

agricuture's farm experiment work. Yet with such
fertilizer famine staring the American farmer
In the face he has deliberately wasted during the
last year between four hundred million and four
hundred and fifty million dollars worth of manure,
the best of all fertilizers. And this according to
authorities on agriculture and fertilizer, is regu-
lar yearly occurrence. 1t Is not theoretical; 1t Is
actual loss, and the strangest part of the story Is
that the great bulk, If not ALL of this waste could
be saved just easily not. In fact most Of 1t
would be saved II American farmers were, for in
stance, Dutch or German farmers 1t would be
saved by the farmers of any of the old countries,
where every pound of soil fertility is conserved
automatically and as naturally as though it were
mnted money. In Germany the size of the manure
pile has long been an index to the wealth of the
farmer.
What the value would be of the increased crops
that would result from this American plant food,
now wasted, hardly be estimated. but the in
creased yields of corn, wheat, potatoes and all
farm crops would amount to something enormous.
On the basis of using this needlessy wasted
strength In manure on the corn crop alone 1t Is
estimated that the yield would be increased at
least a billion and half bushels besides perma-
nently improving the condition of the soil to a
tremendous degree. In fact. good many corn
fields of the present day would be so surprised at
receiving their quota of this wasted soil fertility
that they would not recognize themselves. And
yet the Dutch the German way Of handling ma
nure efficient 1t is is not the best. Americans
have discovered the way to prevent oil waste in
manure and 1t involves more labor or expense
the part of the farmer than his present methods
through which he loses annually nearly half
billion dollars.
The average successful farmer or gardener will
say that this statement doesn't apply to him.
that he knows the value of good manure and uses
every bit of 1t that he can get. But Is he certain
that he makes the best use of all his manure7
When he hauls ton Of manure on to the field, is
It's fertlizng content all that 1t should be and is
he sure that from 10 to 80 per cent of its croppro
ducing strength has not been disspated through
teaching, fre-fangng, or lack of provision to absorb
or conserve the animal urine?
Take as instance the. case of urine alone: A
COW will produce As to so pounds of solid manure
a day, but she will also make from 20 to 30 pounds

ration goes that urine So 1t is most important
to conserve the urine, for nitrogen Is the most
pensive element of manure fertilizer. The other
two important plant foods potash and phos-
phorus.
Even though manure is highly regarded by all
good farmers, nevertheless there Is probably no
product Of equal value which Is so miserably neg
lected and regarding which such real ignorance
prevails. The first great source of loss is through
the incomplete absorption of the urine, and it is
not infrequent to attempt being made to
this portion of the In spite of the fact
that it is richer in both nitrogen and potash than
is the dung, and in spite of the fact that these fer
tizers more available for the plant In the
urine than in the dung.
The second greatest source of waste of manure
is the loss incurred by teaching. If good-sized
manure pile is stacked up against the side of the
stable where the water from the caves can drip
on it, or If 1t Is piled on slope other exposed
place, every heavy rain washes away crisp bank

of the United States for the "a hours and some

honor bestowed upon him and only the second
