Principles Governing Rotation of Crops.

Correspondent Fireside aud Farm.
No matter how fertile Il soil may be,
constant cropping with one, two or
three kinds of grains which require the
same elements of plant food, will soon
result in permanent exhaustion. 1t
may be laid down as an axiom, "that
every system of culture which does not
bring from an outside source the mate.
rIals-whether nitrates, phosphates or
potash, ETC., rare in a soil, and carried
of by the produce, must ultimately
cause the soil to suffer in fecundity."
AS the most important elements of
plant food are nitrogen, phosphoric
acid and potash, it is necessary that
such crops be grown in succession as do
not require the same substances in equal
amount. For example, while the cot.
ton crop appropriates much more nj
trogen than the corn crop, it takes
quite as much more potash and phos-
phoric acid. Or, as stated by Prof.
Pendleton, there is taken up by one
crop of cotton, 31.00 nitrogen, $50
phosphoric acid, 11,O6 potash, four
crops of corn, $500 nitrogen, 1908
phosphoric acid, S.58 potash. Thus it
seems that cotton and corn feed alike
on these substances, the main differ
ence being as to the quantity of each.
A double crop Of corn would consume
about as much of these substances as
half crop of cotton. Of the other
principal crops in the South, the oat
crop destroys more potash than the
others, and the field pea less phospho,
ric acid, while each of these crops con.
sumes more nitrogen than corn and
wheat.
The need of a rotation that viii
leave the soil in the best possible con
dition is apparent. Every bushel o.
grain, pound of cotton, beef, mutton
pork, or bone, and every ton of straw
or hay carried off the farm, reduces the
productive capabilities of the land by
exactly the amount of nitrogen, phos
phorus, potash, etc., removed from thu
soil.
A single system of rotation is not
nor can it be applicable in all localities
The only true test of any system is it
continued success. In planning ju
dicious rotation it is advisable to alter
nate with the narrow leaved cereals
such as wheat, oats, barley or rye
those having broad leaves, such a
clover, peas, and the root crops. Per
pendicular roofing plants, and such a
root horizontally, ought to succeed
each other. Two plants favorable t
the growth Of weeds ought not to sue
coed each other Grain and oil plant
should only be grown at intervals, IN
less the soil is in excellent condition
Plants which prove to be the least ex
haustive should invaribly be alternate,
, with those of an opposite character.

from tue Northern Pacific Company's

in it was claimed that tue unearned

Referring to what has become, IN this

thus:
.'If il ia no. built by the Northern Pa

TO build it. with land grant attached,
the probability is that il will either de-
lay its construction for many years, or
give II NJ sltogether-If the grant be
taken awav."
So it admits that the grant is forfeit
able after all. The plea that no other
company will build the road ia absurd.
Let this grant be once declared forfeited
and the road will he built sooner than
the Northern Pacific will build IL, with
the grant. Its past policy has been to
wait until the country was developed

In the first place, IL u very rernarka-
BILE that the Chinese originally lived un-
der a feudAi system. The country con-
sisted of several States. (seven in num-
beri ever each Of which there Vas ocal
lord, under whom there we're lesser
chiefs holding lands by law of suhin-
feudation. The States were federated
under one lord as emperor. who had
some territory in his own direct admin
istration. Several dynassies Of smpsr-
ors really represented the headship of q
feudst confederation. Under this feu-
dalism there arose many of the ancient
heroes, statesmen and ssees Of China,
while many of its characteristic marks
were stamped upon the civiliz ,tion, the
institutions aud the habits of the Chi
nese. The system Was destroyed two
hundred years Def re- the Christian era
by q sovereign who has very properly
been styled tho Chinese Cesar. and who
established real empire To last for
centuries. AT times this empire became
disunited, to be again united: but che

eepnted by the central authority for
peripatetic supervision. For the central
authority itself something like q consti
tuition Was established, in which the
leading features were a council Of state
and several department boards. The
civil legislation was voluminous; the
penal code was comprehensive in scope
and lucid in arrangement; the moral
precepts were definite and the religious
ritual minute. There were codes for all
branches Of human conduct aud rels-
tionship. The official deference paid
TO literature has hardly been equalled in
any other age or country; the lettered
classes in their capacity as literaii form
ed q power which could make revolu-
tons, and which the enperors on their
accession we're Obliged 10 conriliate.
The patronage Of letters and the prep
arasion Of @hronioles ranked high among
public duties. A kind OF rude printing
from wooden types Vas invented az an
early time; public libraries on an I'm
menss scale we're maintained; atribunal
Of history aud an official gazette we're
instituted. Extraordinary attention vss
paid to edaeation; the central colleges
were among the most influential insti-
tutions of the land.
