CONDUCTED BY ALBERT CHAPMAN
Renovation of Soils.

The Department of Agriculture at
Washington has been collecting infor-
nation in regard to the improvement
of so-called sworn out" or naturally.
Door soils. ITS pleasant to Know, in
the midst of the almost universally de-
structive farming of this generation,
that instances like the following cah be
found. Says the report: 80
"Many examples are given of the
renovation of worn and apparently
worthless soils, and the increase of fer
tility in fresh but unpromising lands.
Fields that have been cultivated ex
haustively for twenty, and even forty
years, have been restored TO original
productiveness, not by guanos and SUI
perphosphates, at $50 to $50 per ton,
but by inexpensive local resources, the
cheapest and most reliable of which Is
found in clovering. In one case in
Butler county, Pa, section of thin,
gravelly land, on which 1t WINS thought
no one could secure decent living,
came into the possession of German
emigrants ,at nominal rates. They
cleared off the brush, plowed, cultiva-
ted, turned under green crops, saved
every fertilizing material available,
never duplicated crop in five or six
years rotation, and that tract Is now a
garden, and from worthlessness has adj
vanced to the value of 500 per acre,
and is yearly becoming more produc-
tive"
Think ofthese Butler county Dutch
men, we free and enlightened Yankees
who, after running good New England
farms, are now longing to "Go West
and ruin more land with your "scrut
farming" A man who cannot run
farm WITHOUT running it out, ought to
be put under guardianship Watch
man and Journal.
The Middlebury register. [volume] (Middlebury, Vt.) 1850-1882, 1875-07-13

while Connecticut reports only 50 per
cent. of an average, and Rhode Island
go, the other states of this region were
nearly or quite average. All of the
middle states were below average, the
crop being winter-killed or greatly
dwarfed by the extreme cold. The
same causes operated In the south At
lantic and Gulf states, though Missls-
sippi reports full average condition for
Der small clover crop. In Arkansas
the crop was above the average, but in
the other inland southern states IL suf-
fered severely from the extreme low
temperature of the winter and spring.
North of the Ohio the crop shows the
same superiority of condition in the
northern sections that was observable
In New England. Michiganand Wis
consin show a higher condition than
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. West of
the Mississippi river the crop is cult
waited to small extent; and it showed
very serious depreciation, suffering
most in Kansas, where it was subject
ed, with other crops, to the devastation
of grasshoppers. On the Pacific coast
At was reduced 90 per cent. below the
average in California and per cent. i'm

Preserving Green Fodder.

A method of preserving green fodder,
such as turnip-tops, beet-tops, or other
succulent vegetables, has been in use
for many years in Europe, by which
this green fodder is kept in good condi-
ton for six or twelve months. A trench
two to four feet is dug in dry spot in
the field, and the tops of the roots, care
fully gathered when free from rain or
dew, arc thrown into it. Thoy arc worry
compactly pressed down, and when the
pit is filled, some straw is laid upon the
fodder, and the earth is heaped over
the whole. In this manner this pro-
duct, which is generally wasted in
great measure, is utilized. On one oc-
casion the writer saw one of these pits
opened in the spring, which had been
filled and covered up the fall previous.
The fodder, which was leaves of sugar
beets, was as fresh TO all appearance as
when gathered, and the cows to which
it was fed ate it with avidity Salt is
generally sprinkled upon the fodder,
and aids in its preservation. 1t would
be worth while when our root crops are
being gathered, to preserve the tops in
this way as an experiment. 1t is not
probable that there will be any difficult
ty on account of our colder climate in
thus preserving for future use very
considerable amount of winter fodder.
The principal requisites are to pack
away the leaves when dry. TO compress
them as closely as possible and to cover
them so completely with earth that all
access of air is prevented. 1t is by the
exclusion of air and moisture that they
are kept from decay IL Exchange.
