matter to pile macleaning of stables and the use of siderable amount of litter has also nure in the open in a way that will maallow no loss of fertilizing elements Improved the methods of handling The trick of this consists In making a nure e square or rectangular pile with per The greatest waste occurs however allowing pendlcular sides and the top sloping In piling manure carelessly manure It to heat and thus lose the nitrogen toward the center so that the wIU always be kept moist Only dry out rains and drainage by leaching ammonia Our streams and rivers are manure heats and loses waters this

principal value of an absorbent bollow so that moisture runs the or litter In a stable Is to retain liquids Into pile the manure instead of off of it and thus keep the animal and the as occurs in the

absorbents such as gypsum or land plasters are quite generally used since they aid somewhat In absorbing liquids Avoid Ashes With Manure Farmers need to be cautioned gen erally against the use of wood ’ashei The ashes and lime with manure and lime produce an alkaline condition resulting In the loss of the am monla which carries off the nitrogen This point has not been sufficiently emphasized and
