More Corn at less tlian one-half the cost as compared 
with stable manure. 
[Extract from Our Country Home , February, 1886, Greeufield, Mass.] 
Stable Manure vs. Complete Chemical Manures.—Experiment at our Country 
Home Grounds. 
Experiment A.—Corn—hi a field of 3 acres of Pride of the North corn, 2 plats of }( acre 
each were marked off. Soil, light and sandy. No. 1 received an application of IK cords of 
stable manure, costing ?S per cord on the ground, or $12 for the L acre. Product, l.t baskets 
souud, and 8>i baskets soft corn, or 76 baskets sound and 6 buckets soft, corn per acre. No. ■- 
received 200 itis. Mapes’ Corn Manure, costing *5.25 for acre. 1 roduct,... baskets souud 
and lb baskets soft corn, or 00 baskets sound, and5 baskets soft corn per acre. 1 he staljle 
manure was spread broadcast and harrowed-iu with a wheel-liarrow, as was 100 fits of the 
Manes Manure. The other hundred lbs. was sowed when the corn was one foot high and culti¬ 
vated-in. In all other respects the treatment of the two pints was exactly alike. 1 he corn on 
stable manui’e produced a little the heaviest fodder > while that on the Mapes averaged olio week 
earlier in ripening. Both plats withstood a severe drouth well; $21 worth ot Mapes produced 
14 basket, more ot aoaud com tkm. 548 worth of -table mannnb 
Mr. James reports: “The Mnpes’ Corn Manui’e gave us most satisfactory returns. We used 
it also on one acre in comparison with stable manure (also one acre), same quantities as above, 
with same difference in favor of the Mapes’ Corn as in the above experiment.
