SCATTER MANURE NOW
Spread It Over Fields Before
Plantfood Is Lost.
Task Is Especially Easy in Winter-
time When Other Work la Not
Preaaing—8preader Will
8oon Pay for Itaelf.
(By M. P. M1LI.ER. Missouri Collage of
Agriculture.)
All available manure should be scat-
tered evenly over the fields before
spring work is likely to begin. It if
always bent to scatter it before it has
hud time to lose any of Its plantfood
by lying in the ruin or by fermenting,
and it is especially easy to do this in
the wintertime,when the other work is
not so pressing. Even scattering is
much more important than most peo-
ple realize.
Greater returns per ton are secured
by light, evenly scattered applications
over a large area Instead of heavy Ir-
regular scattering over a smaller acre-
age. For this reason, the spreuder will
soon pay l'or itself on funns of 100
acres or moje simply by increasing the
returns per ton from the manure^ to
say nothing of the saving in labor.
If possible. It Is better to use the
spreader because (1) it saves work, (2)
It makes it more likely the manure
will be saved and scattered promptly,
and (3) most important of all, - it
makes possible the even scattering
which Is so desirable if the full value
of its plant food is to be secured at
this time of the hi^lit cos* of com-
mercial fertiliser. ,
The loss is not very grent If stock Is
fed in barns, sheds, or lots and the
manure hauled every day or even every
