BEST WAY TO HANDLE MANURE
Fertilizer Should 6e Hauled 70 Field
Soon After It Is Made and
Spread Over Surface.

Barnyard manure often contains
great quantities Of weed seed and If
this manure is left near the surface
of the ground it will doubtless be diff
ficult to keep this cornfield clean. In
order to get the most good out of the
manure it should be hauled out to the
field soon after 1t is made. and if it
Is hauled out in the winter and plowed
under in the spring, it will probably
require less work to keep down the
weeds.
