Inscription.
Before the advent of modem commercial fertilizer the only way to fertilize and condition the soil was to add animal droppings The manure spreader is an implement designed to replace manually scattering manure with a shovel or pitch fork from the back of a wagon.

Drawn by two horses, the manure spreader was used to spread, in the winter, manure that had collected in the barns and corrals during the year. The large wheels provided the mechanical power needed to scatter the manure.

Donated by the Family of Edward Sirls Terry, son of Thomas Sirls and Hannah Terry.
