benefit from stable and barnyard barn yard manures it should be hauled out and either spread at once or deposited in small heaps so that no putrefactive fermentation will take place one writer who had spread some gome of his manure in in the winter and some just before planting in may says where the manure was applied in the winter the corn started earlier and continued ahead through the season
