PROPER CARE GIVEN MANURE
Too Often Fertilizer Is Pitched Out Of
Barns and Exposed to the
Winter Rains.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
The time is approaching when much
of the stock will be kept in barns and
sheds more or less of the time. Prep
arations should be made to take care
of all manure that accumulates during
the housing season. Too often ma
nure is pitched out of the barns and
exposed to the winter rains. Where
manure is leached in this way the
most valuable part of the fertilizer
constituents is carried away to the
streams and lost 10 the farm. When
the manure is removed from the stalls
1t should be placed in a covered shed
or pit and packed down so as to pre-
vent teaching and fre-fanging, or it
Should be spread upon the fields where
II can be plowed in Immediately or ap-
piled as top dressing for grasses.

BEST STORAGE OF POTATOES
Growers Are Urged to Take Safe
guards to Prevent Loss Of This
Important Crop.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Proper storage Of potatoes would
prevent much of the annual loss in
this important food crop. Inexperi-
enced growers especially are urged to
take safeguards against spoilage.
Potatoes should be stored in cool,
dark cellar or be buried in a pit in the
garden. They must not be allowed to
freeze. If they are buried in pits the
potatoes must be covered sufficiently
to keep out all frost. If exposed to
the light they will turn green.
A good method Of storing potatoes
is to place them in barrels with few
holes cut in the sides near the bottom
for ventilation. Cover the barrels
with old sacks and place them in a
cool, dark part Of the cellar.
