raised as second crop, and consequently
more cheaply. The feeding ofroots tends
to keep the system of the animal in a

and abortion, complaints now so prevalent

Native Manures,

In recent article in the Pennington Chron-
icle a correspondent A. p. says:
At the present time there seems to be more
attention paidto Systematic manuring of land
than formerly. As the country becomes
older, and the land shows the need of manure,
attention is naturally turned to supplying that
need. Again, the opening found in market
tor cash crops, as potatoes, beans, sweet corn,
etc., leads the farmer to search for means
for producing them. 1t fortunately happens
that discoveries have been made for supply
ing these demands, and good, reliable ma
nures are furnished sufficient to supply the
demand. But there is a-danger here that too
great dependence will be,made on these ma
nures. Though they are supposed to contain
all the elements of plant growth, yet their
operation is to draw from the soil the
plant food therein stored, and experience
seems to show that, especially when
the product is sold to go off the
farm, the soil becomes exhausted.
On this account the outlook seems to be
that many who are now making a great deal
of money raising and selling these crops will
by and by wake up to find they have sold
| their farms. A remedy for this can be found
in appr0priating all the produce of the farm
to the raising of stock, and while in many
places the people are eating beef from Chi
| cargo, it would seem that suitable encourage
ment can be found in that direction. But if
farmers will still persist in selling off their
crops, the greatest Importance will be at
! tached to utilizing all the means that can be
derived from their own farms. 1t is likely
that we have not yet found out how much we
can find on our own premises that will make
crops grow. The propositions to use meadow
muck so familiar to us all. But this is not
all, and probably not the best means of In
| creasing our manure supply. Forest
| leaves, and especially the mould found in the
| woods from the decay of leaves, are doubt
less superior to most specimens of muck
Have we any mari? Possibly we
have. But there is little doubt that we
have alluvial deposits charged with potash.
Dig up some of those rich looking clays, dry
and pulverize them, and mix with the manure
heap. Scientific men tell us that phosphorus
acid is intermixed with all our mud deposits,
and 10 contained in ali our rocks and vege-
tables. If so. then all our decomposed rocks
and decayed vegetables contain it. There is
no doubt that potash and nitrogen are also
contained in these. There 10 little doubt that
the effective force Of our home supply may
be doubled by attention to these things, and
the inducement to this becomes greater when
we reflect that in this way we may prevent
the deterioration of our farms by the use of
commercial manures. If those manures do
exhaust the soil,i is by drawing out its natur.
al strength. Then IL we continually supply
this strength We may prevent this deteriora-
ton.
