If any leaching is done, let it be done in the field. With spreading of manure by the pee of forks it is’impossibie to get uniform distribution. The manure spreader tears up the manure and spreads it In an even, uniform strip down the field, The maximum value of the manure is thus derived. The laborsaving feature of the manure spreader is another tremen- dous advantage. With it the actual labor of handling the manure is re duced by at least 50 per cent and be glides, time is saved. of Games or Sports By holding a stopwatch on ten busy three-year-old boys amd girls, a psy- chologist at MeGill wr Mone treal, has found that a child of this age is usnally interested in one thing for just about After that, some new ment or eccupa- tion must be produced, Even when three-year-olds at home or at nursery schools are most they can not be expected to spend more than half an hour at kind upa- tion, according to K.
