FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEH JLD.
Soiiing btock.


A writer, in a recent number OF the
Mich z, i.ung on the danger to German
agriculture from foreign competition.
says that his own experience OF fifty
years has taught him that regular soil
ing of cattle is best for the farmer and
for his fields, bringing in greater profit
and maintaining the fertility OF the land
at n higher point that twice as much
fodder can be produced on given sur
face when the forage plant is allowed
to grow as cultivated crop and reach
q certain degree OF maturity, than when,
as in pasture. it is continually cropped
of and trodden down. He believes. as
do all the best German writers on the
subject, that the most successful system
of agriculture in the long run Is that in
which large quantity OF stock is kept
and fed well, and careful rotation OF
crops is followed, in which the same
crop is never put twice in succession on
the same land. The soiling system
makes it easier to carry out the second
part OF his programme. and the greater
variety OF crops that can be raised on q
long rotation provides greater var ETY.
OF fodder for the stock. so that these
two features of,he best modern agricul-
tural practice work admirably to-
geiher. The soiling system provides
more uniform ration in respect to
quantity. and avoids much loss OF
manure. 1t may be pretty safely af-
firmed that the droppings of cattle in
the pasture are more tlan half wasted
by drying in the sun, or by too stronR
dosing with manure in isolated spots
here and there. Where land is cheap
and abundant, and cannot be prottably
cultivated and carried up 10 a high dc
gree OF fertility. pasiurage over large
porlion OF the farm may be allowable,
but when high farming pays, pasture
land is poor investment, and may eit
up n large part OF tic profits iIom the
cultivated helds.

American Cattle.

The MARI Lane Express says that
Americans have done more to improve
the rank and file oftheir common native
breeds OF cattle. in the last five years,
than English farmers have done in
twenty years. ''lfany one doubts this"
says the Express, let him 60 and look

the country-witL the exception Of GER

Jwn conclusions. OF course, the United
States cattle we now receive are the best

market; but five year, ago they had
