always trying to save all the available
manure that you can. One load Of
barnyard manure that is made under
roof is worth three that is made out in
the wet and open field. There is differ
ent ways OF applying manure TO the
ground. Some think one way and
some another; some spreading it on
and plowing down, and some putting
il on as a top dressing. For my part,
am in favor Of top dressing; for that
is placing it just where it will do the
most good, and then il is just where
the young shoot gets the benefit at the
time it Is the most needed. The ground
for wheat is Of different kinds. Some
SOW on oats.stubble, some on corn stub
BILE, and some on sod. 1t has been the
opinion Of noted agriculturists that the
oats crop was the hardest crop on the
ground Of all the crops that they raise.
The amount Of manure applied for the
corn crop Immediately preceding the
oats, the effects of which cannot all be
removed by the corn, and the amount
OF manure required to produce good
crop OF wheat from the oats ground, or
the almost total failure of the wheat
without the application OF manure or
some otherfertilizer. In sowing wheat
after corn, the ground is to lie naked
to the rays of the sun all the next
Summer, which somo think is harder
on the ground than raising crop of
oats but when you SOW on clover sod,
then il is claimed that one ton of grass
furnishes more to the soil than one ton
of wheat would take from it. 1.-Two take

a crop worth twenty-five dollars per
acre Of each of these crops, corn and
oats. each to be of equal value, the diff
ierent substances shall not enumerate,
but allowing the crops to be OF equal
value, the ingredients taken from the
soil should bo about equal. But there
is vast difference 10 them according

corn, fifty bushels TO the acre, at ff
