FOR THE FARMERS
HOW TO USE COW MANURE Cow manure, though not as heating as horse manure, is nevertheless particularly useful.. It is a slow-acting manure. In fact, well-decayed cow manure, applied near the time of planting, will be of great value to any crop. To prepare liquid manure on a small scale take a wooden cask con-
taining 2 0 gallons of water and immerse a bag holding about 301 b of cow or sheep dung, to which a pint of soot has been added and follow the instructions given. When the cask is empty renew the liquid. Liquid manure is recommended at the rate of a quarter of a pint to the gallon of water, but this is merely n guide to work on. For delicate and soft-wooded plants, liquid manure would require to be used at a much weaker strength.
