WINTER CARE OF MANURE.
The difference in quality between
manure made under cover and thee

amounts to about 00 p.c. There is

Lion in loosely put together heaps
and this may be prevented by es -
chiding the air by pressure on ex-
actly the same principle as silage is
preserved. There should always Le a
layer of dry litter un the surface. 05
it acts as an absorbent and preven'.s
the escape of ammonia. The making
of a general manure heap is not de-
sirable as a rule; it is better to cast
it straight to the land, when it has
accumulated under the cattle, to its
final destination.
Cattle are no worse for standing
on a lay er of manure of consider-
able depth, provided they are well
littered up. There is no smell and
no escape of fertilizing matter, as
the formation of carbonate of am-
monia is arrested by pressure nail
exclusion of air. It is only when
mature is thrown into heaps that
fermentation takes place, with the
evolution of ammonia mid heat

stable and spreading the horst

FARM NOTES.
A common mistake which is con-
stantly being made by many farm-
ers
is trying to farm, too
much land.
In other words they are land poor,
a condition which is not desirable
from any point of view. We should
remember that it is not the number
of acres that denotes the annual pro-
fit to be made from a farm, hut too
amount of marketable products pro•
duced per acre. As a rule deriv ed
from extensive farming Is small com•
pared with that frons more intensive
operations.
It is wisdom to go over the fares
and cut down the bushes w})e h
spring up about stntnps. A greet,
many farmers neglect to do this
year after year, and in a little whsle
a good deal of the field is occupied
by this growth which sops the soi:
of nutriment that ought to go into
crops, and makes a hiding place for
animals which prey on poultry. A t
good cleat of this growth will Le

of the bushier bushes can be saved 1
to furnish support for picas next.
season. '!'hese should be stored under r
cover. s
The reason why land values are t
ever increasing is simple when nue t
comes to think of it. The fact that t
the supply of land is limited and
that the demand for it 1s constantly
on the increase is sufficient to raise
the market prices. This together
with the fact that terminer pays very
naturally tends towards better and
higher values. This being the case,
the farmer's chief probtetn is how to
increase his profits on higher priced
land. Melly are already solving this
diflbcultquestion by intensifying their
methods and practicing greater econ-
omy in all brunches of their work.
