 The Low Corn King spreads a wide strip of manure from a narrow box 
 
 The Low Corn King is an Advance Step 
 in Spreader Building 
 
 The manure spreader is necessary to a farmer 
 from two standpoints. First, it is a time and labor 
 saver, reducing the work of two men to one, and 
 thereby decreasing w^orking time 50 per cent. 
 Second, the spreader puts the manure on to the 
 ground in such condition that the soil is able to 
 quickly assimilate the plant food constituents and 
 thereby render the greatest good to the soil. 
 
 The Low Corn King carries these advantages 
 one step farther. This spreader has the excep- 
 tional feature of a wide spread from a narrow 
 box, eliminating inconvenience in the field and 
 further reducing the time of operation. 
 
 Narrow box 
 wide spread 
 
 This spreader is narrow. 
 The box is only 45 inches 
 vk'ide — the main axle only 
 73/4 inches long. It is built this way for a pur- 
 pose. Farmers are finding it very convenient 
 and profitable to haul the manure directly from 
 the stables to the field. The majority of the 
 
 modern barns are constructed so that the stock 
 faces either wall, bringing the gutters into the 
 center of the barn. A driveway is left between 
 the gutters, and the stable doors open wide. 
 
 The Low Corn King is built narrow so that it 
 can be driven directly into the stable and the 
 manure cleaned from the gutters directly into the 
 spreader. 
 
 Economy in When the stable is cleaned 
 
 handling manure the labor with the manure 
 is practically ended. It 
 takes but a few minutes to drive to the field 
 and spread the load on the ground. 
 
 This method is a most economical one. One 
 handling of the manure disposes of it for good 
 — a 50 per cent economy in labor and time, it 
 is put on to the soil without a particle of waste 
 of the three chief plant food constituents — nitro- 
 gen, phosphorus and potassium. The soil gets 
 all the benefit. The Low Corn King is worth 
 double its cost for this one feature alone.

 Manure is thrown well beyond the wheels when the Low Corn 
 King spreads it. No driving on manure to make a matchup 
 
 Spread is 1 feet But there is another im- 
 wide portant and special feature 
 
 about this spreader. We 
 said before that the box was only 45 inches wide. 
 Yes — but this spreader puts the manure on the 
 ground in a strip 10 feet wide. 
 
 The wide spread feature makes this spreader 
 the leader of manure spreaders. Think of it — 
 a 1 0-foot spread from a 45-inch box. This means 
 increasing the efficiency of the spreader in two 
 very important field operations. 
 
 Unloading time The unloading time is 
 shortened shortened and therefore 
 
 the traveling distance ma- 
 terially reduced. While the strip of manure is 
 twice as wide as formerly, the speed of the apron 
 is increased proportionately and the manure is 
 
 fed to the beater more rapidly. The density of 
 the strip of manure on the ground per square 
 foot is the same as it would be from a regular 
 spreader where the width of the strip is the same 
 as the w^idth of the beater. 
 
 Manure spread 
 beyond the 
 wheels 
 
 With the Low Corn King, 
 traction power is no longer 
 w^asted and lost by the 
 operator being compelled 
 to drive one rear wheel on the manure already 
 spread on the ground to match the strip being 
 spread with the previous one. The manure is 
 thrown well beyond the wheels. On the return 
 round the rear wheel can travel a foot or more 
 from the manure and the two strips will meet. 
 
 Every one knows what an advantage this is. 
 The wheels will not slip — all the traction pow^er

 The disks do the spreading — the wings control the width of the spread 
 
 is used for its distinct purpose — to get the load job of fertilizing the young trees is accomplished 
 
 off. The draft is cut down to normal, for the 
 wheels are always traveling on the unmanured 
 ground and the total power is utilized for its 
 legitimate purpose. 
 
 Adjustable wings The width of the spread is 
 control the controlled by adjustable 
 
 spread side wings. A ten-foot 
 
 spread is obtained when 
 the wings are extended to their limit. Wing 
 adjustments permit of a spread any width under 
 ten feet to the width of the beater. 
 
 For fertilizing A special advantage of the 
 
 young fruit trees Low Com King is that a 
 
 load of manure can be 
 
 spread all to one side of the spreader. Since 
 
 without extra labor and with absolutely no injury 
 to the trees. 
 
 The only adjustment necessary for this work 
 is to change the chain operating the disks so that 
 both disks revolve in the direction the manure is 
 to be thrown. Then open the spread controlling 
 wing on this side, and close down the other 
 wing. 
 
 Top dressing In some sections the prac- 
 
 three rows of tice of top dressing young 
 
 corn at one time corn is being closely fol- 
 lowed. The Low Corn 
 King is the ideal spreader for this w^ork. One 
 row is straddled, and the spread is wide enough 
 so that the row^s on both sides are covered and 
 about half the space to the next row. On the 
 
 the manure is thrown well beyond the wheels, return round the third row is straddled, so that 
 
 the spreader can be driven along a row of young on a complete round six rows of corn are top 
 
 fruit trees, and the manure thrown around them, dressed. The manure is finely pulverized and 
 
 On the return round the spreader is driven on the young plants quickly take it up as is shown

 The disks receive their power 
 from the end of the beater shaft 
 
 Only one worm A spreader is regularly 
 and worm gear equipped with the medi- 
 furnished with um spread worm and 
 spreader worm gear. Two other 
 
 sets are furnished as 
 extras at a slight additional cost for each. 
 They are the light spread and heavy spread 
 worms and worm gears. The light spread 
 worm and worm gear are used for top dress- 
 ing spring crops, such as corn, alfalfa, etc., 
 and for spreading lime and commercial ferti- 
 lizer. The heavy worm and worm gear are 
 used w^here an extra heavy spread of manure 
 is w^anted, such as on truck farms. 
 
 Nine feed 
 changes 
 
 There is abundant strength and no complications about the worm and 
 worm gear. The feed disk reversed to show the three feed speeds 
 
 The Low Corn King 
 spreader covers practi- 
 cally the complete 
 variety of agricultural requirements. For the 
 farmer who sows a large acreage to alfalfa, 
 wheat and such crops — the corn belt farmer 
 with a quarter section farm to the truck 
 gardener, tobacco growers, or vineyard own- 
 ers of the Eastern and Southern states — the 
 Low Corn King spreader will meet the 
 requirements. 
 
 Three times three Nine different feeds are 
 makes nine obtained by the three 
 
 separate sets of worms 
 and worm gears, and by three lever adjust- 
 ments on the multiple feed 
 disk which make possible 
 three feeds for each worm 
 and worm gear. 
 
 A great advantage of this 
 construction is that the worms 
 and worm gears are of the 
 same diameter, and fit in the 
 same iron case. In chang- 
 ing from one worm and worm 
 gear to the other no adjust- 
 ments are required — simply 
 take off one set, and put the 
 other on in its place.

 and condition. 
 
 Of the several devices for 
 this work, not one has proved 
 so successful as the worm and 
 worm gear. The povi'er is 
 steady. When the gears ineet

 Nor is the speed of the apron retarded when 
 the spreader is traveling down hill while unload- 
 ing. In this position the w^orm and worm gear 
 must move the load against the incline. They 
 do it — and keep the speed uniform and the 
 spread of manure normal. 
 
 Speed of dif- 
 ferent gears 
 
 While the diameter of the 
 three sets of worms and 
 worm gears is the same, the 
 cog pitch is different. In this way the different 
 feed speeds are obtained for the worms and worm 
 gears. For light spread the cogs are small and 
 close together, and the worm moves one cog in 
 the gear at every revolution.

 The apron delivers the load to the beater with a steady motion 
 
 like a double auger bit — and moves two cogs 
 of the gear at every revolution. By this con- 
 struction the worms and worm gears are made 
 the same diameter, and therefore, interchange- 
 able, without any adjusting. 
 
 Apron travels When a building is moved, 
 
 on iron rollers it is either derricked up on 
 
 to a number of low wheel 
 trucks or on heavy timbers which travel over 
 wooden rollers laid on the ground. No one ever 
 attempted to drag a building, at least one of 
 any size. 
 
 The same principle holds true in moving a load 
 of manure to the beater for spreading. It can be 
 dragged along the bottom of the box. The correct 
 principle for delivering the load, however, from 
 an economical standpoint, is to have the load 
 moved on rollers, that is, to have the bottom of 
 the box, if you please, or apron in this instance, 
 moved with the load over a series of rollers. 
 
 This is the exact principle on v^^hich the Low^ 
 Corn King apron is constructed. It is made of 
 narrow w^ood slats placed close together and 
 connected by malleable links hinged between 
 each slat. The links rest upon and move over 
 the iron rollers. The iron rollers are set in angle 
 
 steel frames, which extend the entire length of 
 the main frame. The links moving over the 
 rollers prevent any possible cutting of the slats. 
 The rollers revolve freely and easily and when 
 the spreader starts operating, each roller becomes 
 active and does its share in moving the apron 
 and load to the beater in a smooth, uniform 
 manner. The rollers eliminate friction to a large 
 degree and prevent any possible binding of the 
 apron. They are placed close together, so that 
 each slat in the entire apron is supported by at 
 least two rollers, one at each end, until after the 
 beater is passed. At the same time, there is 
 ample room between the rollers for any fine 
 particles of manure that might get into them to 
 drop through to the ground. 
 
 Slack in apron If the tension of the apron 
 
 easily controlled is too severe, or if the apron 
 chains become slack, the 
 tension may be relieved or the slack taken up 
 by turning the large set screws controlling the 
 front apron shaft. This shaft is supported by 
 two castings, one at either end, which are subject 
 to movement by the long set screws. The ad- 
 justment itself can be made in a moment's 
 time.

 Spreader The automatic trip on the 
 
 thrown out of Low Corn King for throwing

 matically advantage everyone appre- 
 
 ciates. After throwing the 
 spreader into gear no attention has to be paid 
 to it. All the driver's attention is devoted to his 
 team. When the load is off, a 
 catch on the bottom of the apron 
 comes in contact with a special 
 apron lever, located under the 
 box, throwing the entire operat- 
 ing mechanism out of gear.

 purpose. Pressure on it throws in the 
 return apron clutch on the rear axle. 
 
 The clutch operates a chain run- 
 ning to a sprocket on the rear apron 
 shaft. This action immediately starts 
 to return the apron, and long before 
 the yard is reached where another 
 load is to be obtained, the apron is in 
 position for it. No time or energy is 
 lost in this operation. 
 
 Lock for apron 
 when spreader 
 is traveling 
 
 To relieve the 
 worm and worm 
 gear from un- 
 necessary wear 
 and strain, a lock is provided to hold 
 the apron and load from slipping back 
 when the spreader is traveling to the 
 field for unloading. 
 
 The lock is attached to the lever 
 bar, and, when the spreader is thrown 
 out of gear, automatically drops into 
 the sprocket provided for that purpose 
 on the end of the front apron shaft. 
 The apron is held firmly — the worm 
 and worm gear ride free of the strain 
 of the load. When the spreader is 
 throw^n into gear, the w^orm and worm 
 gear assume charge, the apron lock 
 being automatically raised, allowing 
 the apron to travel. 
 
 The cuts on page 9 show the working of the 
 apron lock and gives a very comprehensive idea 
 of this feature which marks another step in the 
 efficiency and long service given by the Low 
 Corn King spreader. 
 
 The apron reverse clutch is locked open when the spreader 
 is in gear. The lug on the crank shaft and the bar from 
 the clutch come together, preventing the clutch closing 
 
 the reverse apron clutch is locked automatically 
 against closing when the spreader is in gear. 
 
 On the crank shaft, to which the controlling 
 levers connect, is located a lug. When the

 position that this lug is on top. If the foot lever

 differentials 
 similar to 
 those found 
 in the hubs of mower wheels 
 are used on the rear wheels. 
 With these devices one wheel 
 holds the pivot when making 
 turns while the other wheel 
 keeps the beater and the apron 
 in motion. As a result, the 
 Low Corn King spreads the 
 manure evenly on the turns 
 and just as evenly when turn- 
 ing one way as when turning 
 the other. 
 
 The differentials not only 
 insure even spreading on the 
 turns, but do not permit the lodging of manure is kept in motion and takes care of the manure 
 against the beater during the turn, for the beater as fast as the apron delivers it. This overcomes 
 
 the strain on the operating mech- 
 anism, due to the beater having to 
 free itself from manure that has 
 lodged against it during the turn. 
 The ground around the turn is 
 properly covered as well as even 
 spreading being assured immedi- 
 ately after the turn is completed. 
 
 Slatted roller A spreader, 
 crushes lumps to be valu- 
 able to the 
 farmer, must be capable of hand- 
 ling all kinds of manure. In 
 cleaning up a yard, it usually 
 happens that large, hard lumps 
 of manure are thrown into the 
 box. Those on top will be 
 carried back to the beater and 
 thrown off in this condition, or 
 with very little breaking up, were 
 it not for the slatted roller which

 The all-steel beater with chisel-pointed teeth. Lumps of manure are torn to shreds 
 
 This roller is located above and a little in front 
 of the beater. It serves not only to crush the 
 lumps of manure but also to retard the load, 
 particularly the loose top of it, from feeding to 
 the beater too freely. The roller rides on top of 
 the load and is revolved by it. Its retarding and 
 crushing effect is obtained without increasing the 
 draft of the spreader, as is done when a rake is 
 used for this purpose. 
 
 The delivery of the manure is uniform — the 
 beater gets the same chance at the entire load, 
 insuring well-pulverized manure regardless of 
 the condition it was in when loaded. 
 
 The roller also serves to level off a load built 
 high in the center. The Low Corn King 
 spreader is quite flexible as to the size of the 
 loads that can be put on to it. In light manure 
 it is frequently desired to pile the load up to get 
 a larger quantity at one hauling. The roller 
 takes care of this kind of a load to good 
 advantage. 
 
 The cuts on page 1 1 illustrate the range of 
 
 the roller. It will handle and level off a load of 
 considerable size, so that the beater can act on 
 every particle of the manure and do a first-class 
 job of spreading. 
 
 All steel beater The Low Corn King beater 
 thoroughly pul- fittingly corresponds to the 
 verizes manure strong and efficient con- 
 struction of the apron. 
 The tv^ro work together to the best possible 
 advantage for the spreading of manure. The 
 beater is constructed of eight steel bars into 
 which the square, chisel-pointed steel teeth are 
 riveted. The bars are bolted to the steel beater 
 heads. The heavy steel band in the center of 
 the beater bolted to each bar reinforces the bars 
 and prevents entirely any tendency to spring 
 or twist out of place. Heavy clods or frozen 
 manure do not injure this beater. It is strong 
 enough to resist effectively the shock of the 
 impact with such material.

 Beater furnished In the mo-

 power is wasted. The steel 
 shaft turns in self-aHgning bush- 
 ings. The w^earing surface is 
 small — the draft very light. 
 
 The self-aligning bushings are 
 easily removable by taking out 
 the cotter pins which hold the 
 beater in its brackets. The 
 brackets themselves are firmly 
 bolted to the main sills of the 
 frame and always hold the beater 
 firmly in position. 
 
 There is no question about an abundance of power for the beater from 
 this sprocket and chain. The large sprocket is keyed to the axle 
 
 Position of beater The old saying of "A place 
 in right relation for everything, and every- 
 to apron thing in its place" holds 
 
 true with beaters in manure 
 spreaders. On the l^ow Corn King the beater is 
 'in its place" and in the correct position for a 
 manure spreader beater. It is placed to the rear 
 of the apron and with the points of the teeth on 
 the down bars, extending below the apron. 
 
 In this position the teeth are cutting into the

 wall of manure and tearing it up before the 
 manure has a chance to crowd in under the 
 beater. The beater, virtually, is under the manure; 
 its cutting stroke being almost entirely upward. 
 Since all the manure must be thrown over it, the 
 beater of the Low Corn King is in the best possible 
 location for good w^ork. It works freely with a 
 minimum of power. Its position together with its 
 abundant driving pow^er enables the beater to 
 revolve very rapidly and reduces draft materially. 
 
 A strong, simple With the load 
 beater driving being supplied 
 mechanism steadily to the 
 
 beater, it is vital- 
 ly essential to successful spreading that 
 the beater have sufficient power to tear 
 the manure to pieces and throw it out 
 as rapidly as delivered, regardless of 
 the kind of manure or its condition. 
 
 The driving mechanism of the Low 
 Corn King beater provides the beater 
 with abundant power. It consists of 
 a large sprocket on the axle, a chain, 
 and two beater gears. The large 
 sprocket on the main axle is heavy, 
 with over two-thirds of the teeth 
 
cyii\:7 Emrac^ csoa® 
 
 The self-aligning roller bearings keep down the draft of the 
 Low Corn King, The grease cup keeps them well lubricated 
 
 meshing into the chain. It transmits the power 
 to the beater in such abundance that it is practi- 
 cally impossible for the beater to become 
 clogged. 
 
 The beater driving gear is supported not only 
 by the stud on which it revolves, but also by a 
 brace extending from the main frame to the end 
 of the stud. This prevents any possible spring- 
 ing apart of the two beater gears. 
 
 The chain is heavy enough to handle its 
 load under all conditions. A chain tightener 
 is provided in order that any slackness in the 
 chain may be quickly and easily taken up. 
 The tightener consists of a small double-flanged 
 pulley fastened to a slotted casting. It can be 
 moved to any position for taking up slack in the 
 chain. This tightener, having no teeth, does not 
 catch straw which might be thrown over by the 
 beater, thus tangling the chain and causing 
 breakage. 
 
 Quick acting 
 strong clutch 
 
 The clutch has a great deal 
 to do w^ith the effective- 
 ness of the beater-driving 
 mechanism. Its great advantage lies in the fact 
 that the teeth are numerous and extra large. 
 This gives a great deal more wearing surface 
 and, consequently, a great deal more strength. 
 Also, it picks up much quicker. There is no 
 danger of the clutch sticking. The roller-bearing 
 
 collar disengages the teeth on the sprocket from 
 their half of the clutch. The clutch always acts 
 quickly and effectively. 
 
 Roller bearings The draft of the Low Corn 
 keep draft down King is considerably re- 
 duced by using roller bear- 
 ings on the main axle. They are contained in 
 self-aligning boxes in heavy axle brackets that 
 are attached to the main frame. The rollers, as 
 the cut shows, are held in cages, and can be 
 easily removed from the boxes. Since the bear- 
 ings are self-aligning, there is no cramping of 
 the rollers, no twisting to increase the draft of 
 the spreader and cause the operator trouble. 
 
 These bearings operate continuously in grease 
 supplied to them by means of grease cups, as 
 illustrated in the cut. The hard oil grease cups 
 used on the Low Corn King mark another feature 
 in which this spreader excels in the spreader 
 world.

 adapted for use in manure 
 spreader wheels than wood. 
 The acids contained in barn- 
 yard manure eat quickly into 
 wood wheels, causing the wood 
 to rot badly in a short time. 
 With steel wheels this disad- 
 vantage is entirely overcome. 
 Furthermore, there are no tires 
 to set, the spokes cannot w^ork 
 loose, and there are no felloes 
 to shrink, check, or decay. Re- 
 gardless of the kind of weather 
 or the time of year in which the 
 spreader is used, the wheels of 
 the ]^ow Corn King are always 
 ready for business. 
 
 These wheels are exception- 
 ally strong. They have inwardly 
 flanged rims which keep the 
 edges of the rim from becom- 
 ing cut and jagged, and also pre- 
 vent the cutting of sod when 
 spreading on meadows. Oval 
 spokes are used because they 
 are the strongest construction 
 known. The spokes are cast 
 into the hubs and upset in the 
 rims to keep the rim from buck- 
 ling, and are riveted solidly on 
 the outside of the rim. The 
 spokes are the same diameter 
 throughout their entire length. 
 
 The lugs on the rear wheels 
 are Z-shaped. They are made 
 in this shape so as to secure a 
 continuous grip on the ground 
 and at the same time relieve the 
 spreader of excessive jar.

 hundred feet or more, in order that the building 
 may have a secure foundation and withstand the 
 elements and time and give a service commen- 
 surate with its cost. 
 
 The same idea is carried out in constructing 
 the frame of the Low Corn King. All the 
 weight — all the strain of handling and spreading 
 a load of manure comes on to the frame. It is 
 constructed of angle steel trussed and braced 
 with steel — light but abundantly strong to with- 
 stand the strain of any load of manure it is 
 possible to put on to the spreader. The steel 
 frame successfully sustaining the load keeps the 
 various operating parts of the spreader in cor- 
 rect alignment, enabling every part to work to 
 the maximum of its efficiency, thereby reducing 
 friction and draft to the minimum. 
 
 Front trucks The front trucks on the 
 
 prevent tongue Low Corn King are espe- 
 lashing cially adaptable for travel- 
 
 ing over rough ground and 
 for top dressing young crops, such as corn or 
 other crops planted in rows. The trucks straddle 
 the row, but, because of their narrow tread, 
 eliminate tongue lashing. You 
 with their front legs and should 
 
 cut from tongue lashing after being used on 
 wide front truck spreaders. The Low Corn King 
 saves your horses this pounding. 
 
 A straight pull 
 from the frame 
 
 The pull of the load is 
 entirely from the frame. 
 By means of a U-casting, 
 the tongue pulls mainly on the front channel bar, 
 part of the draft being transferred to the long 
 king bolt, and so to the axle of the trucks. In 
 this way the trucks simply carry their share of 
 the load, but the pull is straight against the load 
 — there is no down pull on the horses' necks. 
 This not only does not worry the horses, but 
 actually lightens the draft, because there is no 
 tendency to lift the load, such as there would be 
 if the tongue connected down at the axle and 
 all the pull was from the axle. 
 
 Narrow front trucks prevent excessive tongue lashing. The pull 
 of the load is from a central point straight from the frame

 Prevents side Then, too, the Low Corn 
 
 strain King front trucks relieve 
 
 the spreader from severe 
 side strains, due to the front wheels dropping 
 into ruts or passing over obstructions. 
 
 The fifth wheel keeps the box level. The axle 
 brackets on the under side of the fifth wheel 
 give the axle space to move up and down with 
 the wheels as they conform to the surface irregu- 
 larities on one side or the other without affecting 
 materially the even balance of the box and load. 
 Relieving the spreader thus of considerable of 
 the strain insures longer life and better service 
 from the Low Corn King spreader. 
 
 Abundant trac- Tractive power is an im- 
 tive power even- portant point jn a manure 
 ly distributed spreader. It is being given 
 
 particular attention by pres- 
 ent-day farmers. In early spring, every farmer 
 wants to get as much manure on the ground 
 before plowing as possible. He is forced to use 
 a spreader w^hile the soil is still very soft. Many 
 are now spreading manure as it accumulates, 
 even when snow^ is on the ground or v^'hen 
 slippery and wet. 
 
 The Low Corn King is built to spread manure 
 under these conditions. The rear axle is placed 
 -well forward under the box and carries a suf- 
 ficient percentage of the weight of the load to 
 insure abundant tractive power. The power is 
 evenly distributed, so that each rear wheel 
 equally shares the burden, getting the load of 
 manure properly distributed. By driving the 
 beater from the left-hand side of the spreader 
 and the apron from the right, no unnecessary 
 strain is placed on any part. The result is less 
 friction, a consumption of less power, and longer 
 service. 
 
 A steel spreader So much of the Low Corn 
 
 King is made of steel that 
 
 it can rightly be called a steel spreader. We 
 
 have called attention in other parts of this cata- 
 
 logue to the steel frame, the steel beater, the steel 
 axles and wheels, the steel driving parts, etc., in 
 fact, the only wood about the Low Corn King is 
 in the apron and box and the slatted roller. 
 The steel construction is the reason for the light 
 weight and at the same time the exceptional 
 strength and working qualities of the Low Corn 
 King spreader. 
 
 Two sizes of This spreader is adapted to 
 
 Low Corn K.ing all sizes and all kinds of 
 farms. The No. 5 is the 
 small spreader and the No. 6 the large one. 
 The box of the No. 5 is 1 5 inches deep, 45 inches 
 wide and 104 inches long; that of the No. 6 is 
 the same depth and width as the No. 5, but is 
 I 24 inches in length. 
 
 The two sizes of machines with the various 
 changes in feed speeds practically adapts the 
 Low Corn King spreader for use on any and all 
 kinds of farms — from the truck gardener who 
 wants a very heavy coat to the large farm where 
 the owner is compelled to distribute the manure 
 lightly in order to cover as much acreage as 
 possible. 
 
 As brought out on page 2, the line of Low 
 Corn King spreaders conforms strictly to the 
 particular principle of spreader building — a 
 narrow^ box but a wide spread.

 In selecting a horse, you 
 are very careful in looking 
 him over that you may be 
 reasonably sure of getting 
 full value for your money. You do not take the 
 owner's word for the horse's age — not that you 
 feel he is trying to deceive you, but because you 
 like to see for yourself — so you look at the horse's 
 teeth. You feel his shoulders, his hind quarters, 
 and down his legs. You have him trotted down 
 the yard for a hundred yards or so and back to 
 watch his gait. Then as soon as he is stopped 
 you listen to his breathing to learn if his "wind" 
 is all right.

 How manure 
 is wasted 
 
 One of the greatest losses 
 of manure is incurred by 
 leaching. If the manure is 
 piled against the side of the stable where water 
 from the roof can drip on it, or if it is piled on 
 the hillside or other open place where rains will 
 wash the piles, the water leaching through it will 
 carry away large quantities of nitrogen and 
 potash. 
 
 It is not an uncommon sight to see the dark 
 brown liquid oozing from the base of the manure 
 pile after a shower. This liquid contains a very 
 high percentage of nitrogen and potash which, 
 if the manure pile had been protected, would 
 have been kept in the manure and thus made 
 available for plant food. 
 
 Another common loss is that incurred by heat- 
 ing. Heating is caused by fermentation and 
 breaking down of materials composing the 
 
 manure. This fermentation causes a loss of 
 humus and nitrogen from the ammonium com- 
 pounds. The odor of ammonia, commonly 
 noticeable about the horse stables and piles of 
 manure, is an evidence of the fermentation and 
 loss which is taking place. 
 
 The following test of the Cornell Experiment 
 Station shows the enormous loss of manure left 
 exposed in piles: An 80-ton heap of cow manure 
 left exposed for one year lost 66 per cent of its 
 dried substance; 2 tons of horse manure exposed 
 in a pile for five months lost 57 per cent of its 
 gross weight, 60 per cent of its nitrogen, 47 per 
 cent of its phosphoric acid, and 76 per cent of 
 its potash. With this large percentage of loss 
 before us, too much cannot be said regarding the 
 manner of handling manure being adopted by 
 progressive farmers, that is, of hauling the manure 
 directly from the stable to the field. In this 
 manner there is practically no loss of any of the 
 plant food constituents in the manure, and, in 
 addition, the ground is benefited by the chemical 
 action of the manure while it is decomposing 
 
 [21] 
 
(im\:27 Emrara csdc:i[^- 
 
 ^m^ 
 
 either on the surface of the soil or within the 
 soil itself. 
 
 Without question, the greatest loss is through 
 the failure to provide for the absorption of the 
 urine. The urine is very rich in both nitrogen 
 and potassium, and in this form the plant food 
 constituents are much more available to the soil. 
 Many farmers provide against this loss by drain- 
 ing the stables into a cistern or pit, and later 
 sprinkling the urine over the soil or over the 
 manure pile, providing, of course, the piles are 
 sheltered and taken care of so that there will be 
 no drain from them. 
 
 Another method of saving the urine is by 
 absorption; that is, by putting a large amount of 
 litter in the stables to absorb the liquid matter. 
 Straw is undoubtedly the most common and 
 plentiful material used for this purpose. It is 
 not only a good absorbent, but has considerable 
 manurial value. 
 
 Manure is a There are two sources from 
 
 balance due the which plants receive nutri- 
 land ment — earth and air. The 
 
 air supplies carbon, some 
 nitrogen, and some water. The ground gives 
 water, nitrogen, phosporic acid, and potash. 
 Under favorable conditions of heat and light the 
 plant produces its increase taking from the air 
 and soil the organic and inorganic substances 
 peculiar to its nature. Now if the plants which 
 absorb these ingredients from the soil are sold 
 and carried away from the land, it is robbed of 
 its vitality and weakened in proportion. If, on 
 the other hand, the plants are converted into 
 fertilizer by field or farm animals and the result- 
 ing manure returned to the land, the owner will 
 not only always have sufficient feed for his stock, 
 but will have enough extra increase to pay him 
 a good profit. 
 
 In the process of digestion there is very little 
 waste of active fertilizing elements, because the 
 animal gives up almost as much from its body as 
 it takes from the plant it eats. 
 
 One writer has truly said, "The part which live 
 stock plays where farming is marked by steady 
 improvement will be better understood if we 
 remember that the original quantity of plant food 
 in new soils and in new localities may give pros- 
 perity for a time, but it will not be permanent." 
 The earth provides vegetation. Live stock con- 
 sumes vegetation. Food and the growth of the 
 stock is the farmer's profit. Manure is a balance 
 due the land and should be applied carefully 
 and intelligently. Barnyard manure must ever 
 be the main reliance in fertilizing of those who 
 till the soil. 
 
 Plant food con- A ton of average barnyard 
 Stituents manure contains about ten 
 
 in manure pounds of nitrogen, five 
 
 pounds of phosphoric acid, 
 and ten pounds of potash. 
 
 In addition to these valuable plant food con- 
 stituents, the humus-making parts of barnyard 
 manure must not be overlooked. Humus or 
 vegetable mold is one of the much sought after 
 conditioners for soil. No plants can be success- 
 fully grown where humus is absent. It makes 
 the soil porous, helps to ventilate it, holds water 
 for the feeding roots, and through the activity of 
 the millions of earth germs, assists in disorganiz- 
 ing the insoluble salts in the soil, preparing them 
 for absorption. 
 
 Fresh manure Particular farmers, abreast 
 
 best for crops of the times, are finding 
 
 that fresh manure contains 
 the highest percentage of active plant food con- 
 stituents in their most soluble state. This fresh 
 manure mixed with medium fine litter and urine 
 represents the fertilizing value of the crops which 
 have been taken from the ground and fed to the 
 stock. If this is placed on the land with the 
 Low Corn King as fast as a load is accumulated 
 in the stables, it will return a large percentage of 
 the value taken by the growing crops.
