PLowNG IN.-An vegetable sub
| stances rot more readily in the greer
state, the reason of which is that the
sap or juice of the green plant begins
very soon to ferment in the interior o.
the stem and leaves, speedily communi
eating the same condition to the mois
it has been dried the vegetable matter
of the sap loses this easy tendency t.
decay, and thus admits of longer preser
walton. The same rapid decay of greer
vegetable matter takes place when it il
buried in the soil. When grain croI
is plowed into a field the whole of it
surface is converted into a compost o
mixed earth and fresh vegetable mat
ter. The latter in q short time decay
into q light, black mold, enriching th'
soil in a remarkable degree. Buck
wheat, clover, rye and rape, if sown TO
the purpose of being plowed in, shoult
be turned under when the flower ha
just begun 10 open, and, if possible, a
a season when the warmth of the ali
and the dryness of the soil are such a
to facilitate decomposition. This i'm
portant subject of plowing in crops a
manure deserves increased attention, a
least among the husbandmen of ou
older and more exhausted sections
