196 BETTER DAIRY FARMING 



If horse and cow manure are mixed the cold cow manure will 

 keep the horse manure from heating and result in a large saving 

 of nitrogen otherwise lost through fermentation. It is a fine thing 

 if the manure can be stored in such a place that it can be tramped 

 down into a compact mass by hogs or other animals. If the manure 

 must be stored outside it should be in high compact piles and by 

 no means under the eaves where rain running off the roof will wash 

 out its constituents.
