The Manure Spreader.

Speaking of the advantage of manuring land and the convenience of using the manure spreader, a writer In the Homestead makes a report of wheat yield on land top dressed last fall and land not manured. In connection with the statement the writer says that the land top dressed was if anything poorer than that not manured. The writer says: “When thrashing the wheat was gathered from the top dressed portion first, and 270 bushels were thrashed from it, making the yield thirty bushels to the acre. From the remaining sixteen acres but 200 bushels were thrashed, making I hat yield twelve and a half bushels to the acre. The top dressing with a spreader made a difference of seventeen and a half bushels to the acre. Who will say the manure spreader does not pay?”

Reckless Act. “Mr. Jarold appears to be a brave man.” “Did be ask you to sing?”
