Manure... An interesting fact Manure : In the 16th and 17th centuries, everything for export had to be transported by ship. It was also before the invention of commercial fertilizers, so large shipments of manure were quite common. It was shipped dry, because in dry form it weighed a lot less than when wet, but once water (at sea) hit it, not only did it become heavier, but the process of fermentation began again, of which a by-product is methane gas. As the stuff was stored below decks in bundles you can see what could (and did) happen. Methane began to build up below decks and the first time someone came below at night with a lantern, BOOOOM! Several ships were destroyed in this manner before it was determined just what was happening. After that, the bundles of manure were always stamped with the instruction ' Stow high in transit ' on them, which meant for the sailors to stow it high enough off the lower decks so that any water that came into the hold would not touch this "volatile" cargo and start the production of methane. Thus evolved the term ' S.H.I.T ' , (Stow High In Transit) which has come down through the centuries and is in use to this very day. You probably did not know the true history of this word. Neither did I. I had always thought it was a golf term!

Cute. But not exactly true: he word s.h.i.t entered the modern English language via having been derived from the Old English nouns scite and the Middle Low German schite, both meaning "dung," and the Old English noun scitte, meaning "diarrhea." Our most treasured cuss word has been with us a long time, showing up in written works both as a noun and as a verb as far back as the 14th century. http://www.snopes.com/language/acronyms/[bleep].asp

One of the funnest prairie dog hunts I ever had was on the Hougen Ranch out of Melstone, Montana.
Helen and Tom Hougen, the owners of the ranch, wanted me to "shoot out" a field below their home. It had oodles of dogs and they wanted the prairie dogs killed, but safely. Hey, it was a .22LR shot from their house.
The field was also scheduled to be have cow sh1t spread all over it that day. So, I elected to shoot the field AFTER the manure spreader had done it's thing.
DAMN, that was a fun shoot. Allan Hougen, Helen and Tom's son, ran over the small field and spread the sh1t really, really deep. Karen and I set up on the hill above the field and waited for Allan to drive his rig up the ranch road and out of sight.
Then, we went to work. A prairie dog would stick his/her head above the sh1t and one of us would blow him/her up. And another and another and another.
It soon became apparent that prairie dogs totally reject the idea of having their burrows covered over with cow sh1t and they climb above the scene ... and, in this case, they get shot.
After a little while, we shot up the case (500 rounds) of .223 Ackley ammo I'd brought down, so I scrambled to the rig for more boolits.
In that afternoon, in the shade of a tree in Tom and Helen's back yard, Karen and I shot over three cases (1,500 rounds +++) of .2323 Ackley ammo. And any misses were made up for by doubles and triples. I even got one QUAD!!!
It was an incredible afternoon and all because of SH1T, and prairie dog's objection to having their holes filled with it.
Damn, it was fun.
Easter Blessings,
Steve
PS. Oh yeah, I shot a monster of an antelope buck, one locally called "The Phantom," that morning. What a perfect day.

Don't check this out on Snopes because it is all true and anything indicating it didn't happen is nothing but lies!!!! Pass this on to everyone you know or you hate Ronald Reagan!!!"

As a nerd, I feel compelled to say some things about manure.
The lower the Carbon to Nitrogen ratio, the more nutrients are in the manure.
Cow manure is not that low, but still high enough to attack hooves, so wood chips are spread on it.
Wood chips have a very high Carbon to Nitrogen ratio, and render the cow manure safe for cows to step on, but make a very poor fertilizer, as all the Nitrogen will stay locked up for a long time.
Chicken manure is the rocket fuel of the turd world, with the lowest Carbon to Nitrogen ratio.
There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self. -Ernest Hemingway
