WORKOUT Sandy Soils,

When light, sandy soils are partially
worn out, so that no crop can be grown on
them that is profitable, they may, by proper
management, be restored to fertility without
spending dollar in manure. One Of the
great laws of nature appears 10 be that
soils in themselves possess the power of
renovation, in connection with the labor Of
man, rightly appropriated.
When soil is SO far exhausted that
clover, with the aid of gypsum, cannot lie
grown upon it, we admit that ii would be q
hard task to restore il to fertility, without
the aid Of animal or mineral fertilizers of
some kind. But there are very few soils
that will not produce clover; consequently
our remarks will be applicable 10 exhausted
| soils in nine cases out Of ten.
The first proceeding with such lands is
to seed them to clover alone, with plenty Of
seed, and run heavy iron roller oyer the
ground as soon as the seed Is sown. The
seed may be covered with a brush drag, or
the mere action Of The roller upon the soil
will cover sufficiently.
The benefit derived from the roller is
that the earth is pressed firmly around the
seed, which enables il to withstand the ef-
fecis Of drouth much better than when moi
rolled, and consequently the seed is more
sure to terminate.
In seeding, no other crop should be grown
upon the land; and it Is said that Southern
clover seed, sown at the North in April
viii be in blossom by the last of August
and ready 10 plow under.
When such crop is plowed under, it il
good plan first to run roller over it
Iengthwise with the burrows, for the pur
pose Of pressing down the clover, 50 tina
the plow will cover it well.
Buckwheat and millet are very good crop
to renovate worn-out soils; but where Glove
will grow thrifiily, is the best crop tina
can be grown for such purpose.
