young stock is not as valuable as
that from mature animals which do
not need these things for their
bodies.
Thus far the farmer ma had but
little TO do with the value Cl the ma
nurc produced if he has been feeding
q balanced ration. From now on n
great deal depends on his manage
ment. The essential things to observe
NOW are
U To keep it covered.
GU To keep it compact.
(3) To keep it moist.
% To save the liquid
Keep it covered 10 prevent leach
ing. A manure pile against the side
of the barn and under the caves may
loose halt its value IN three or four
months. The liquid which drains
away is the most sollable part and
the most valuable
Keep it compact Silage spoils if It
is not packed tightly. Manure will do
the same and in so doing will loose
much ammonia. Trampling by AM
mails will save a great deal.
Keep it moist. Hot dry manure
will "tire-fang" and in 50 doing VIII
loose 10 per cont of the ammonia
Save the liquid. This contains a
great part of the PHOSPHORUS and
potash and potash is the most cXpen-
sive fertilizer today.
Have a concrete basin or floor un
der the manure pile and n cover over
it. The increased value OF the ferti
lizer will more than pay for it. III
you have TO pile the manure in the
open, make the pile high and compact
20 it will not soak thru and make the
sides straight and the ton hollow like
bowl so the rain caught will 80 to
the center and keep it moist.
