Spnnif Application of Manure.
The practice of spreading manure
in the autumn or winter in becoming
gradually more adopted by farmer*
through the country. Autumn ap
plication cause* the rich and aoluhle
portion* to laconic well incorporated
with the soil before the commence
ment of "pring tillage; the winter
spreading, alth ugh effecting thin in
corporation AO |ierfectly, IRA* thia ad
vantage of preventing hardening the
-oil by drawing heavy load* over it,
and it * vc* handling TLIE manure but
once, br ing drawn out as fast as it
accumulate* Hut there i* always
more or Ic-T manure which cannot IN
spread till spring, and the question
OCCURS, what is the IN *t way to apply
it to advantage *
1 he first rule to he laid flown for
practice, where the distance to IN
drawn over tillable ground ia not
.'rent. i to draw small 1 ul*, to avoid
PICKING the soil, and prevents it*
Inking into a hard ni.V** in summer.
I he n.xt, and most important req'Tl
Mte of all. is to have the manure WI it
bn ken up and pulvt riz <1 and evi nly
spread. I,T It in lumps, it will do c nt
p.aratively little good. There are two
mode* of applying — as a top dressing
to meadow or pasture or on plowed
or stubhle ground -and in either ca*E
it must be finely broken by repeated
harrowing, as soon as the ground is
hard enough to LA-nr the team with
out packing, for GRASS land any
slant tooth harrow will do the work.
On sluhble or plowed ground, the
Acme harrow answers well, not only
breaking up the manure, but slicing
the top soil down three or four inches,
and mixing the manure well with it.
It is well to pass over several times,
so that manure and soil may lie finely
incor|H>ratcd. By plowing under after
reducing the soil with the manure to
this condition, it will at least double
its value as compared to the common
practice ot turning under after sim
ply spreading. If an Acme barrow
is not at hand, thorough pulverising
with A common harrow, before plow
ing, will LIE of much value. Pulver
izing the surface well will alway 8
render the o|K>ration of plowing after
ward easier and more perfect, beside
the other advantage*.
The depth to which the manure
should be buried will <le|icnd partly
on the crop. For cotn, but littlo -
benefit is derived from spreading ma- i
nure in spring cn sot! and plowing It
six or eight inches deep. Full oi
* winter spreading, with a depth of fiv<
or not more than six inches, will I*
fur more efficacious, usually doubling
the effect of the manure. With pi.
tatoes the case is different, the root
' running deeper.
Raising Oorn Fodder
i here are some important points
t in tßising corn fodder which have
' never been sufficiently settled by ac
curate experiment, but wbicb un
worthy of careful trial by farmer*
, who are willing to give the necessary
attention, us well us by experiment
stations.
Among other practical questions
i-t whether the fodder should be sown
so thickly in ll.e furrow as to pre
vent the formation of ear*, giving ul'
| the strength of tire lurid to the stalk, j
or whether more valuable feed may'
In* obtained from an acre by a thinner j
growth with well formed ears. In the
| -ilts r case, there might lx; enough
grain mixed with tire chopped stalks
to obviate any addition of meal ; it
being understood that whether cot
for the silo or fed dry, the stalksshall
be cut not more than half an inch
long, by which their value is mon
than doubled. In connection with
this question, is the fact that by pre
venting the formation of grain, tin
land would be ratla-r enriched than
otherwise from the mass of roots left
in the ground ; and also the fact,
proved by trial, that with a very thick
growth of stalks in the furrow (say
four bushels of seed to the acre;, '
more tons per acre were obtained than
from thinner sowing, although the
latter *a taller, and to a superficial
observer appeared heavier. The re 1
suit was obtained from the small
northern corn. With the larger
southern varieties the result might In
different; and with a wet season, or
with deep soil or suhtoiled land, n j
thick growth .would do Ix-tler than
otherwise.
It would therefore lie well to try •
!
the following experiment, continuing
tin in through three or four unlike j
seasons :
Sow the fodder in strips four or
five row* together, and extending
across the field—first with small
northern corn at the rate of one
bushel, two bushels, three bushels
and four bushels jwr acre, which will
le about Un stalks to the running
foot, and twenty, thirty and forty
stalks. Repeat this trial on well sub
soiled land ; and also on heavily ma
nu;cd land, and observe by weighing
if the suhsoHing and manuting are
paid for by the increase of product.
Try the result of cultivating fre
quently, say every five days, harrow
ing broadcast as long a* the crop wili
U-ar it; and c tnpare this treatment
with the common practice of harrow
ing but two or thrte times in the
season.
Repeal the ab ve experiment with
large southern corn, but in quantities
of seed, one half and tw -thirds as
great as w-'.h the small corn.
