Use of Manure.

Not all farmers have learned the
great value of manure in increasing
the yield of crops. Those who save
all the manure produced On their
farms know the value of it and feel
that they cannot afford to lose it.
Those who have not been in the
habit of saving manure do not know
its value.
While the commercial value of
tie constituents in manure is not
high, there is another and very
important value, that of providing
organic matter, called humus. A
few loads of manure on thin soil,
low in organic matter will increase
the yield surprisingly. And the
yield is likely to be greater for sew
eral years.
If every farmer could understand
the possibilities of building up his
soil by raising livestock, saving and
applying manure, it would not be
long till every farm would have all
the livestock it would maintain, and
toe mum Der it could maintain would
be gradually increased because of
larger crops.
Here is a thought: Livestock to
eat the feed and save marketing

larger crops, better profits, more III
