SOME farmers have, prejudice
against clay soils. Some have even de-
clared that they would not take clay
farm asa gilt. Such an extreme preju-
dice may be excused when it is cOnsid-
cred how difficult it is to work clay
soil well, thatis, with ease and profit.
Clay Hand In a wet season must fie un-
touched, while the highland farmer
whistle light heartedly behind his plow,
turning his moist and 7 mellow burrows.
In = dYsseaAon the. clay turns up in
Jumps which are as refractory, for the
time being, as granite blocks. 1t is to
obviate these extreme conditions that
the skill Of the 'clay-land farmer needs
to be directed in season. For, in no
other case is forehandeGnessi and readi-
ness SO necessary as, in farming clay
soil. If blowing IS neglected until the
land is covered Or soaked with water,
the cplnw must necessarilyiremain idle,
for to pillow wet, heavy soil Is to ruin
it's texture for years. A clay soil that
is fall-plowed and only remains to be
narrowed and sown in the spring may
be put under crop in good season when
otherwise it could not. The prepare
ton of clay land, then. sat this season is
of great importance to every owner of
that-zind sof.a farm. At this late sea-
son the blowing of heavy land should
60 forward as rapidly as possible. It
should be done, too, SO as to expose as
much of the soil to the effects of the
winter weather as may be practicable,
and to preserve it from the injurious
and DELAYING effects of q possible wet
spring. 1t should also be made the
means of improving the, fertility of the
soil as well as its mechanical condition
by bringing up small portion of fresh
soil from below, and each year grad
ually deepening it. This cannot safely
be done in the spring and only in the
fall, for several reasons: ,s2g' 51''i1
In blowing heavy land the burrows
should be turned nearly on edge or lap
ping very little, so that tho contour Of
the surface should present number of
small angular ridges. It should be
