Manure—The Motive Powi r of tho
Farm.
('■'f.ftf fdltn'i R'b *
.Seeing wo tnanv things written
about by wo many different (misons, i
and lo many different w\w advocal
ed for the same thing, 1 thought i
would write a lew liuea in regard to
a matter that lias more lo do with the
auccewa or failure of the farmer than
any other one thing connected with
the whole farming business, that is
manure. It ia the motive power of
tire farm. Home have one way and
tome another to keep ami apply ma
nure, but the best way, in mv opinion,
ia to get the manure into the soil as
loop M you can. cither cnarae or fine. I
That will aave it and inaure you good
crop# aa a rule. Of course a person
must use some judgment in using bis
manure, but the greatest possible mis
take a mni euii make is leaving it all
.Summer to waste in hi* yards. Clean
the yards at least twice a year. The
general time, among ordinary farm
ers, is lo haul manure in the Spring.
A good plan iu to haul all you can
duiing the Winter, spreading its you
haul, never leaving in piles. I would
prefer leaving in the yard, (Hot alto
{■ether <)f course), until I could draw
and spread. The work is done then,
and whatever you plant or sow will
give you an even nop. Not a crop
full of lodged *pot*, or spots with no
giain, and where the piles were left
perhaps a spot of pig weeds or some
thing else as bad. I have seen men
that call themselves good farmers
haul their rnunure in the Spring,
upon tlnir Hummer fallow, and leave
it in heaps until after harvest, per
haps, before plowing it under.

Profit of Cotton Feed Men)
v 11 All- n
I have lately made a careful vx|w
. l irnr lit. with one cow , and find that
adding two pounds per day of cotton
aecd rural to her rations (one pound
in the morning and one pound nt
iiighl) increased flu yield of her but
tec a ft action over one pound |er
week. Tbe cost of the cotton seed
meal, delivered at my barn, is two
cents |>er pound, which would amount
to twenty-eight cent# |ier week. The
butler waa told at thirty-Ave cent*
per pound, making tbe profit in feed
ing tbe above meal seven cenla per
week on the butter alone. Hut thia
d'vea not tell tbe whole 'ory, for tbe
cow ia kept in much better condition
l>y the col, on seed mewl than sfir '
would bo without it, for niic is almost
fat enough for the butcher. In addi
tion litis, her manure is considerably
the richer for the meal. And then
there is the pleasure of weeing the
animal in first rate health, and carry
ing a thick, warm, wo ft, smooth coat
of hair through the cold weather.
Til* greatest value of ensilage is
in its tendency to increase the pro
duct of manure, and thus increase
fertility. Knailagc is about the only
farm product that i* not sold oft the

In breeding lambs for the "arly
market it is less important that they
come early than that they are kept
grow ing without check from lack of
food. After the lamb is ten days or
two weeks old, it v,iil usually l>egin
to eat something besides its mother's
milk. No grain is better than whole
oats, placed in shallow troughs w here
the lambs run and the old sheep can.
not. A very little grain fed in this
way will bring greater profit than if
fed to other kind of slock. The best
lambs are always saleable at fancy
