ROTATION OF CROPS.

A Discussion of Some of the PRINCIPLES
Which Should Guide the Action of the
Progressive Farmer.
The experience of husbandmen from
the earliest times has shown that the
same kind of plants, with some excep-
tons, can not be cultivated advantage
ously in continued succession on the
same soil.
The same or similar species have a
tendency to grow feeble, degenerate.
or become more subject to diseases,
when cultivated consecutivelv on the
same ground. and hence the rule which
forms the basis of system of regular
alienation of crops is that plants of
the same or allied species are not to be
grown in Immediate succession; and.
furthermore, the same rule would i'm
ply that similar kinds of crops should
recur at as distant intervals of the
course as circumstances will allow
BY means of great labor, enormous
expense and the application of manure
without measure, the same soil may be
made to yield all sorts of plants; but it
ment like this that agricultural science
should be made to subsiSt Agricul-
turc is not TO be carried or either as a
matter of fancy or Of luxury, aud when
ever it's products fail literally to repay
the expenditure, both of money and
labor bestowed upon them, it may be
assumed at once that the system pur-
sued is wrong.
A skillful and discreet farmer will,
first of ALL consider attentivelv the
nature and properties of his soil that he
may determine to what particular
course of culture it is best adapted, and
of this he will be able to Judge either
by the character of the plants which
grow spontaneously upon it, or by
sowing it with different seeds by way
of experiment Nor will he be satisfied
to cultivate promiscuously, and with
out change, even such plants as ne
finds suited to the soil and climate.
since the productive powers of soils
become greatly diminished by cultivat-
ing upon them uninterruptedly the
same plants. In order, therefore, that
he may ensure constant succession of
good crops, he will cultivate different
kinds of plants in rotation upon the
same fields, and he will also have these
to follow each other in such order as
experience shall show to be most favor
able to their growth. avoiding alto
gether the Introduction of such plants
as are unsuited to the soil 1t is this
changing of crops, this alternate Gull
ture of different kinds of plants, regu-
lated by experience of their respective
effects upon the soil, which constitutes
that judicious order OF, succession so
indispensable to prosperous husbandry.
Such system of rotation affords the
best of all guarantees to the farmer of
success in his operations, and without
irall is vague, uncertain and hazardous.

The little iron ball inside sleigh
bell is too big to be put through the
holes in the bell, and yet it is inside.
How did it get there? 1t is called the
jinglet, and in making the bell it is put
inside little ball of mud, just the
shape of the inside of the bell. Then a
mold is made just the shape of the out
side OF the bell. This mud ball, with
the jingle inside, is placed in the mold
of the outside, and the melted metal is
poured in, which fills up the space be-
tween the ball and the mold, When
the mold is taken off you see sleigh
bell, but it will not ring, as it is full of
dirt. The metal dries the dirt so it can
be shaken out. After the dirt is all
shaken out OF The holes in the bell the
little iron jinglet will still be in the bell.

FEEDING STOCK.

One of the Most Difficult Operations on
the Farm.
Among the various duties of the farm
CT there is no one more important, or
more difficult, to perform without
making mistake, than that of feeding
farm stock. He may plant, cultivate,
aud harvest his crops in the best man
ner. but if he fails to properly feed
them out, the balance sheet at the end
If the year will be very likely to show
a footing on the wrong side. To be
able to feed out barn filled with a
variety of food for cattle without waste,
requires not only good Judgment but
years of practice. The old method of
feeding cattle through the winter on
swalc hay, with q very little English of
an inferior quality, has been very gen
orally abandoned, and the practice of
feeding considerable grain adopted.
For mich COWS every effort is made to
give them such mixture of food as will
furnish them all they require, in such
proportions as will produce the least
waste. BY so doing it is found that
the cows not only give more milk, and
come out in better condition in the
spring, but it is also found to be good
economy.
Grain at the present time is so cheap,
when compared with English hay, that
the farmer finds it for his interest to
use larger proportion of it, in con-
nection with hay, than formerly,
and in doing so he also finds that
he can use up poorer quality of hay,
and yet keep his stock up in good con-
dition, even better than when he fed
less grain with the best of hay. The
great question with dairy farmers now
is what particular fodder crop can be
grown to the best advantage to feed
mich COWS during the winter? The
more this subject is considered the
more evident it becomes that on many
farms it will not be English hay, but
some crop that can be grown at a less
price per ton. The more intelligence
the farmer exercises in the feeding of his
cattle the better will he be prepared to
make a selection of the best crops to be
grown. The evidence of economy in
feeding is found first in the condition
of the cattle, and second in the appear
ance of the manure heap. If the cattle
look well it is an evidence they have
had enough to eat, and if the manure
is not filled with rejected fodder it is an
evidence that the cattle have been fed
with an intelligent hand, and with an
eye to economy.
The farmers boy who learns how to
feed cattle to the best advantage, may
consider that he has become master
OF one of the most difficult operations
on the farm. Massachusetts Plough

What the people do when they have
no mails is often a query. They rely for
entertainment very little upon outside
assistance. Necessity has made them
self-dependent. Theatre companies no
longer visit the island, because the au-
diences are too small. The best lecturers
don't care 10 come, for they a not be
paid enough and thirty-five miles of
rough sea travel is both unpleasant and
uncertain. So n considerable part of the
inhabitants are literary and all social.
Caste does not depend upon wealth.
Sociability, refinement, and a taste for
literature are the passports to the best
society. Numerous clubs and classes
meet frequently to pursue some literary
work. The young people form small
companies and meet every evening at
each others homes. Parties are contin-
ually occurring. Games are popular,
particularly card playing. In the draw
ing-room and parlor Nantucket society
finds most of its entertainment.
