Now, art our ridu'i's are '2\ feet apart, anti as our usual plan is 

 to mauun' 5 ritlijes at u time, or 12J f<ct wide, a load of 20

If the manure is to Ik- spread on the surface of the land, there is 

 no necessity for placing' the heap on the headland. You can make 

 the heap or heaps. — ' Where most convenient." broke in the Dea- 

 con. — " N<», not by any means," I replied; "for if that was the 

 rule, the men would certainly ptit the heap just where it happened 

 to Ik> the least trouble for them to draw and throw olF the load.s." 



The aim should be to put the heap just where it will recjuire 

 the least lalK)r to draw the manure on to the land in the sprinj:. 



On what we call " rolling," or hilly land. I would put the heap 

 on the hiirhest land, so that in the sprim; the horses would be 

 g«)inir down hill with the full carts or wairons. Of course, it 

 would be very unwis*' to adopt this plan if the manure was not

drawn from the yards until sprinc:, when the land was soft; 

 but I am now speakinir of drawin-r out the manure in the winter, 

 ■when there is sleiirhini:, or wiien tlie rrround is frozen. No farm- 

 er will object to a little extra I ibor for the teams in the winter, if 

 it will save work and time in the spring.
