CARE OF MANURE. 



A. B. Ham, 111., writes: "By an arrange- 

 ment with a local livery stable to take all 

 its manure at any time they desire to 

 haul it I am getting monthly shipments 

 oi'l'resh manure deposited in an open field, 

 where it is impossible to water it arti- 

 ficially during a continuous drouth. 

 Please state best treatment, winter and 

 summer, to produce best results." 



On the place where you are going to 

 dump that manure dig off the top spit of 

 earth and throw it aside for a covering 

 later on. Now dump the manure into a 

 solid square pile, making it as firm and 

 even as you can by shaking or spreading 

 it with the fork and treading it and riding 

 the wagon over it. At the end of each 

 hauling tidy up and square up the heap 

 and encase it firmly with several inches 

 deep of loam. Repeat this every time you 

 haul in summer, but in winter the casing 

 of earth isn't so necessary. Try to get 

 the stable people to give the manure a 

 good wetting before they haul it. Wetted 

 manure packs better and keeps better 

 than dry manure, and it is easier to coat 

 it over with loam.
