There are, however, difficulties and limitations which no farmer can con- trol. Climatic conditions in the win ter time are such as to render this kind of disposal almost impossible for days together. There are weather pe- riods when the ground is too soft for load and it is difficult to have a field prepared to receive manure at all times. It is possible to forestall such difficulties to a certain extent by start ing operations on the land during the summer and fall, making ready for em- ergencies.
 In order to obtain the best results, the manure must be spread on the soil evenly. The theory is that small particle of manure carries different kinds of bacteria that are beneficial to the soil. Even distribution will scatter these different forms of bac- teria and distribute them to every square foot of soil surface. Growing plants protect these minute forms of life and encourage their multipllca- ton in the soil and the bacteria break down the particles of manure for soil enrichment.
 Manure left in piles will soon lose its strength. The old-fashioned idea of piling manure to rot it has passed on it's way. Very few farmers pile manure nowadays, and it is noticeable that manure pits are very scarce and the few that are in use are much shall lower than those formerly used. In fact, the new ones are nothing but depressions 10 collect liquid manure from stable drains. When the value of stable absorbents and their proper use is well understood, the manure pit will become obsolete and the ex- pression ''well-rotted manure" will dis. appear from agricultural literature.
 The COW barn shown in the illus trations is q sensible building so de signed that the farmer may exercise l his judgment in the arrangement of one-third of the stable, fitting it close l ly to his needs. Every provision may 1 be installed for the economic handling of the stock'and because of the efficient lighting and ventilation of the stable, ] this barn is excellent for it's particular 1 purpose. When farmer starts in the dairy business, he is not always sure
