ing of ocean and wind upon the shore,
and the deposit of vegetable matter. The
swamps are a single instance of this, and
there are men who make it a business to
dig up the cedar trees buried centuries in
them. These are cut into rails and shin
giles and are of an excellent and durable
quality. These swamps are very valuable,
an acre of such timber commanding from
$500 to $1,000. A peculiar feature is that
the soil is of purely vegetable growth, Of
ten 20 feet or more in depth. This peatv
earth is constantly accommodating from the
fall of leaves and boughs, and trees are
found buried In it at depths quite down
TO the solid ground. The timber so bur-
led retains its ~buoyancy and color, and it
is considered so valuable that large num-
bers of workmen are constantly employed
In raising and splitting the logs into rails
and shingles. The number of shingles
produced from the wood of these sub
merged forests is very great. From the
little town of Dennisville, Cape May
county, as high as $780, 900 valued at $12,-
600, have been sent to market. From the
same place thousands of dollars worth of
white cedar are annually sent out. The
deposit of timber at this point extends to
an indefinite depth, and although, from
the growth above it, believed to be two
thousand years old, is all entirely. sound.

The abolition Of fences is now being
agitated among farmers, and there seems
TO be no i~nsurmountable obstacles to such
a reform in many districts. 1t is estimat-
ed that the fences of the country consti-
tute as much as half the value of the
farms, and these have to be continually
renewed. By having, strictly executed
laws against stock running at large, all
fences, except such as surround pastures
and stock yards, may be dispensed with.
Besides the saving in money, the room
occupied by the fences Is saved, and the
chief harbor for weeds is done away with.
A communication was recently read in
the New York Farmers Club from Liv-
ingston county, Illinois, sayingthat in that
country the plan is in successful operation,
the general practice of farming being to
dispense with fences. Scion Robinson
states that he was informed on good au-
thority that the unfenced lands In that
county 4 quite as high In price as the
fenced farms of other counties, showing
that this simple regulation will save the
great expense of fencing the Western
prairies.
Mr.. Ely, the President, remarked that
the same system is in operation in the
valley of the Connecticut river, both in.

sUeaEsrIoHs ABOUT sUnMEa TA11Ows.


a few years ago, most farmers in ouI
wheat growing regions, thought that in
order to raise agoodcropof winter wheat.
the ground must be we'll summer falIoW-
ed. The ground was plOwed usually
about the first of June, and then harrow
ed and ploWed~ alternately until Septem-
Der. In some instances, 1t was plOWed
six, but usually three times; and those
who did so, fancied that they received
ample remuneration in an increased
amount of grain for every additional plew-
ing. But, when the ground was broken
up IN June, or the former part Of July.
and ploWed but twice, as a small number
OF ~cultlvatOrs were accustomed to do. the
work was pronounced as only half done
and the difference between the crops
where the soil was piowed FIVE or six
times and only twice, would often Justify
such a remark Thus it will be perceiv-
ed, that the soil yielded only one crop in
v years, or as it was then termed two
crops IN three years, as oats, or Indian
corn followed by wheat, and thena sum-
mel taIloW, or grass. In some instances.
three crops of winter wheat were raised
IN succession. As only a limited ouanti-
" OF manure OF a very inferiorAaualty-
was made, summer following seemed to
be essential to the wheat crop. There
was not that demand for pork, beef and
mutton that now exists. Consequently.
only a small portion of the coarse grain
of the farm furnished any fertalizing mat
ter By making manure while f~atteninP
stock. The great bulk of the manure
was of q straWy character, and only in
creased the already too large growth of
straw. There was butlittle grain-produc-
ing material in it. The good effects of
summer following began to fail. The straw
was often large enough to yield forty or
nifty bushels of excellent wheat per acre;
while there would sometimes be not more
than ten or twelve. Every year the heads
were growing lighter and shorter, and the
kernels smaller and smaller. Consequent
" those who were accustomed to rely on
the wheat crop for their revenue, were in
. grievous dilemma. This was clean farm
ing, but low culture; while scientific, pro-
gressive agriculture requires high c~ultiva-
ton in close connection with clean farm
ing. This Is the certain tendency ofsum-
mer following. 1t is good for wheat, tenn
porarily; but bad for the farm. and worse
still for the farmer, permanently. Sum
mer following, in the way alluded to.
will produce a greater yield of wheat, for
q year or two, than any other system of
management; but at the same time, the
prO~ductiveness of the soil will be impair
ed IN a greater degree than by some 9th
eF system of management, which will al
ways keep the soil good, and at the same
time, produce remunerating crops from
year TO year.
