Treating Manure 
Stable and farmyard manure should always be treated with O.R. 
solution. Use one pint for each cubic yard. The solution should 
be poured into vertical holes reaching to within six inches of the 
bottom of the heap and spaced about 18 inches to 24 inches apart. 
After treatment, the holes should be filled with top-soil or compost. 
In about six weeks the heap will ripen to a rich friable humus and 
look like three year old manure. 
HOW To Use Compost 
When the compost is judged to be ready, tease with a fork. If 
it smells sweet and breaks up readily it can be used at once. It 
will not deteriorate if left for several months. For a general 
dressing, apply half the quantity you would use if you were using 
farmyard manure, keeping the compost in the top six inches of 
soil. The finished compost should be cut vertically with a spade, 
as the nutrients leach to the bottom of the heap. The walls of 
the heap and any undecomposed materials should be cut away 
and incorporated in the next heap.
