THE SUCCESSFUL FARMER.
The successful farmer is the
one who knows how to save and
wisely apply everything about
his premises in the shape ot ma
nure. After having exhausted
every resource of his own, the
farmer can look around tor com

need ihem.

a stable, aud have a constant sup

to keep them cleau and dry. In
case the accumulation of manure
gets too large I haul it away, and
sprrad.it immediately. In the day

heap iu the barnyard, which is
srmll in compass and supplied
with a pump for watering.
In the spring I pile all the ac
cumulations of the farmyard iu a
compact heap and let it remain

it will be thoroughly fermented
