Il8 THE BOOK OF ENSILAGE. 



If he has but little money, or does not like dairying, 

 let him take sheep to keep upon shares, saving the best 

 ewe lambs. The sale of wool and ram lambs will give 

 him a good revenue. In the spring, if he has used, as 

 he should, plenty of dry muck or loam for absorbents, he 

 will have a pile of manure which will make the old field 

 smile. Thereafter pursue the course laid down (see 

 page 37), sow winter rye (applying the stable-manure 

 broadcast during the fall and winter) , to cut and Ensilage 

 in May or the first of June, then plough at once, and drill 

 in the corn with phosphate. Every year will witness 

 increased fertility, more stock, larger crops, and greater 

 prosperity.
