Many t'irnier.i believe that cowsthits allowed free range were less liaMo to nliorliou thau those I; .,)t in close stables. Tim ashes pro'.. ably Hatistled some want in tho animal economy. It may liavo liuen tho phosphate they contain which is required by the bones of tho growing f.otus. If cows eat too much the potash in the. .-.shes corrects the acidity of their stomachs, which often results where stock is highly fed ia stables where it has little exercise. 1'ntio.ll ShIIs on M,. 111 il'fi Iti-np. Almost all stable manure is deficient in polnsh. One of tho best ways to remedy this defect is to re-euforco the manure while it is yet in the barnyard by putting (icriunu potash salts 011 the heaps. This serves a double purpose. The salts w ill absorb ammonia which ti nkes a nitrate of potash or saltpetre. Superphosphate of liuio may also bo applied with hcii-Ml. That is largely composed of Milpbii'.o of lime or gypsum, and this has a strong nihility for ammonia, which it converts into sulphate of ammonia. If stable ma nure were always thus ro-euforci-d with potash au.l phosphate their ef ficiency would bo more than doubled. It is really tho best way to use min eral immures so that they will uot re vert to insoluble forms, A Ori, Shrll nml I lmrrnnt Hp.

Many who have a shelter for manure do not appear to understand how to handle it. They throw- it out of the stable into a high heap, which in a few days In -ins to heat and steam up, thereby lo-iug the most valuable pMl, the nitrogen, nud when ready t 1 draw out to the ii'.-M tho mi idle of tl c pile is 11 burned mass worth c impar iti.uly liothiiiL'.
