It seems that farmers have been and are being awakened to the fact that manure spreaders are the only practical means of scattering mulching material on their fields. Some seven or eight are now in use in our township. Of course all conditions of the ground will not permit their use, for the soil must be firm enough to cause the large drive wheels, with bearings attached, to give motion to the machinery. Bill wherever these conditions are permlssable they are a wonderful advantage over the fork and wagon, as more ground can be covered in a day, and better still, a more even distribution of the materian is effected.
