The ultimate conaiderAtion in a
,Study of turn ruturea, comprises the
�best methods of economic handling,
'both as to labor and asto thesaving
,of the fertilizing constituents carried
by the fertilizer. In the past, Methods
-of handling have' been deterEfted
largely by their adaptability to -the
,;Particular circumstances such as labor
conditions, craos upon which the

cause, of the amount of vajuahle�jou_

the stable It is well to use an amount
equal to one4hlrd of quantity
fed for litter. This may vary as a
large amount of succulent food will
result In more liquid, therefore, more
bedding Is required. Cattle repdre s
to 10 pounds of littli Per day. The
�floors should, be tight to prevent the
liquids escaping. Where possible,
liauting directly to -the field is the beat
practice, especially if the land is level.
The drawing out Ill. the %-later lessens
labor and saves Muth time. Moreover,
when leaelling does occur, the soluable
.portions of the manure would be car-
ried Into the soil.

farmers are now building cement piW.
These are so constructed that they

DISTRIBUTION OF M.A_NLIR-9
In the actual application of Manure
certain principles Must be followed.
:111. the first PlAce, evenness of distri-
bution Is to be desired as It assures a
'Uniform growth of Plants. This Joint
Is not given the attention Which its
Importance dentands. From Practical
,experience, too, the smaller but more
frequent application, usually gives the
greater and more satisfactory results.
Thus, Imtead of 20 tons to the acro,
:10 -tots would be applied and twice the
area covered, with the -result that only
bil.6-halt the number of years would
,elapse before the area Would be cov-
ered again. A larger and quicker To -
turn In iiet crop yield Perlon applied
would be realzed. This is shown by
the following table. The results of
this Ohio exPetifneut are expressed in
yield per ton of manure applied:
