HANDLING MANURE

The average well-fed dairy cow ex-
cretes about ten to twelve tons of ma
nure year. If half this amount is
dropped in and around the barn a
real problem is presented in handling
the manure from a herd of ten or
more cows. There are several meth
DDS of handling this valuable product,
says W. W. Sweet of the University
of Missouri College of Agriculture.
The best place for manure is on the
land. The ideal way to dispose of it
would be to load it from the stable on
manure spreadcr and haul it to the
fields each day. In many places this
practice is followed and the rains
wash the soluble fertilizing materials
into the soil. Often other work on the
farm prevents hauling being done at
certain seasons and the manure is al
lowed to accumulate around the barn.
Another difficulty is that much of the
land is in crops a part of the year
| and the manure must accumulate I'M
til the crops are removed. In order
to make this method most convenient
the barn should be so arranged that
the manure spreader can be driven in
and loaded in the barn. If this is i'm
possible litter carrier should be in
stalled to take the manure to the
spreader.
A second method of handling is to
have manure shed or pit in which to
keep the manure for several months
at time until it can be put on the
land and plowed under. This shed
should be at least fifty feet, and pre-
ferably one hundred or more feet,
away from the barn. 1t should have
a tight concrete floor and concrete
walls at least four feet high. Above
this should be a wooden covering. The
shed should be large enough to hold
the manure from the herd. The most
satisfactory way to move the manure
from the barn to the shed is by means
of litter carrier on an overhead
track. This carrier is filled in the
barn and run on the track to the shed
where it is dumped. If carrier can
not be arranged for, wheelbarrow is
always a possibility. By storing the
manure in shed of this kind the
losses in fertilizing value are kept as
low as possible.
A third method is to keep the ma
nure in shed large enough to allow
cattle to tramp it. An open shed is
sufficient. In this manner the manure
is kept compact and if the shed has a
good concrete floor the liquid manure
which is the most valuable part will
not escape.
In some cases manure is simply
thrown oct through the window and
is allowed to lie against the sides of
the barn under the caves where the
waterfall is greatest and where the
losses in fertilizing value are large.
Such d practice is not sanitary and is
very wasteful. If it must be followed
the cutters on the barn should be
constructed so that the water will be
carried away. A lean-to may be built
as cover over the pile of manure ex-
posed to the weather.

ANTHRACITE COAL
FOR POULTRYMEN

Poultrymen who need anthracite
coal for use in incubators and brood
ers should make their wants known in
order that some idea Of the amount
needed may be gained. Wallace
Crossley, Federal Fuel Administrator
for Missouri, states that it will be DO
sible to get coal, but that it will be
necessary for the poultrymen so to or
ganize that each person gets no more
than is actually required.
All who need anthracite coal for
incubating and brooding purposes
should send statement of their re-
quirements to H. L. Kempster, Col
lege of Agriculture, University of

ments will be forwarded to the Fuel
