when liquid manure Is permitted to

certainly not throw awuy a bog of

lose more than enough liquid manure
to pay for the bone. By the use of ab
sorbent I ltd may save a 1 of the urine,
including the water, or by using plaster
he may let the water go and save only
the nitrogen. In any ctee it is just as

Answer.—Tlje proper stage for har>
vesting ia when you find the straw turn
ing yellow and the grains well filled out
in the heads. You can cut with a reap
book, tie in buudlee at once, and hang
on poles held up by props at the ends,
or you can cut aud lay upon the stubble
to dry, after which it can be pul in
small stacks. Should yon hang on
poles, a week’s exposure will be suffi
cient, and you can then house until
ready for threshing. Don’t bind iu
bundles whon the dew is on the straw,—
