Never before, has there'been so great a world short ge of 'food. It will :be :some years before agriculture can .re- plenish the world's larder.` During that time farriers "shou'ld capitalize thein manure piles. The leo suggestions that' we have hefiril •time and again are: 1. "Spread' which are constructed as a stack, silo,, that, manure immediately :after it lel a least six feet .high,rwitli almost "Build I t made,"or 2, a tight.manu're pe'rpendiculaz sides,. We'can .keep -it it." , We have: been that:leach=.it,and. ever $ moist, keep the air out` of it a n let '%, dr` oltt. Iri doingthis eve- will not ,allow 'the' undesirable, germs to take the` lace of the, pickling germs. p There will be' no leaching in+ the compact pile' any more than -there will be'leaching from a stack silo. Of course the .ori side --of the heap will is a most impractical proposition to course, • t p A skyscraper could be built every month of the year lythe farmers Ontario, with: the money lost. through the poor handling of ba nyard- ma- nures. Probably this „lees amounts fa SIS ,000,000 a, year. Trio price of fertilizers •t the Pres-' eut time gives deep' significance to A• ha t (would you think of the Parti' er who, threw ;his ,corm` out into < the.. barnyard'and expected to have feed ifor his cattle iie_xt spring and" sum riser? 'What should ' think of the farrier who throws his manure -rout .into the barnyard without; any further attention and' expects to"have feed for his soil next spring and summer? The facts are the same. We cannot affoi-d to braid silos for, our :manure, hut" eve can build ;stack silos of., manure.
