HOW MUCH MANURE DOES A COW PRODUCE? Experiments that have extended ovec a long period show that the manure and urine from an average cow weighs about 701bs a day, so that the production for the year would be 12| tons. If you have a herd of 40 cows—why, that's 510 tons of the best possible manure, isn't it? You would have co pay a lot of money for 500 tons of manure, and yet perhaps, you sre not making proper efforts to save and utilise that for which you do not have tu pay. Manure should be collected daily, and either sprpad on the land at once or stored in concrete, covered-in pits or sheds. The old plan of leaving it in heaps in the yard is a wasteful way and an uncleanly way. Save every drop and every piece of manure for yonr land, and your farm will not be a squeezed lemon by the time you are duo to hand it over to • youp-'son.
