Rotation of Crops.
BY w. W. STEVENS.


western Plowman
Our NEST Skillful and successful far
mers are those who pay particular at
tention to judicious rotation of crops,
and allow their lands to rest when rest
is necessary. No matter how fertile
the soil may be. constant cropping with
one or two kinds of grain which feed
upon the same elements of plant food.
Will soon result in permanent cXhaus-
ton. Every system of culture which
does not bring from an outside source
the materials that crops feed upon and
carry away, must ultimately cause the
soil to suffer in fecundty As nitrogen,
pho>phoric acid and potash are the
most important elements of plant food,
| il is necessary that such crops be grown
in succession aS do not require the
same substance in equal amount. 1t is
| best to alternate with the narrow
! leaved cereals, such rs wheat, oats and
! rye, those having broad leaves, as clo-
| yer, corn and root crops. Perpendicu-
! lar roofing plants ought 10 succeed such
rs root horizontally. Two plants IA
vorable to the growth of weeds ought
not To succeed each other. Grain and
oil plants should only be grown at in
tervals. unles the soil is in excellent
condition. Plants which prove the
| least exhaustive should invaribly be al
tcrnated with those of an opposite
character. Glover is Of special value
in a rotation, a the shade produced
by its rank growth OF foliage favors
the develoment and storage of nitro
genous matter near the surface. while
/ the roots reach far down into the sub
soil and bring up valuable mineral elc-
ments
Another advantage gained by rota-
! ton is that il affords the land an OPP
| portunty to rest The length of this
rest should be determined by the sup
/ ply of vegetable matter ia the soil.
The less the quantity the longer and
more frequent should be the periods
of rest and Incorporation. On most
lands a system Involving a rest every
fourth year j. advisable. The leading
| object in any 5, ITEM of rotation should
be to realize the highest profit from
our land, snd. at the same time to pre-
serve or increase its fertility. With a
| limited supply OF manure, as there is
on most farms. we believe rotation is
/ indispensable TO good farming. When
manures can be bought in any desira-
\ BILE quantity rotation of the same
/ may be substituted. in part at least,
DOR one of crops. as is generally prac-
/ ticed by market gardeners.
Farmers should adopt that rotation
which will leave the soil in the best
possible condition. bearing in mind the
/ fact that every bushcl of grain, pro-
duce or pound of meat carried oil the
farm reduces the productive capabil-
tiles of the land by exactly the amount
of plant food they contain. The great
problem of profitable farming consists
in making the soil increasingly fertile.

A MIXED Jury Creates a Stir.

Considerable commotion was created
in Justice Schuhl's court yesterday
when colored cyprian, resident Of
Camp street, who calls herself Van San,
who was arraigned to answer to the
charge of vagrancy, asked for colored
jury. Justice Schulz said that the col
ored man was entitled TO scat in the
jury box under the laws Of the
United States, and he proceeded
himself TO summon jury, which was
composed of three white and three col
ored men. This caused a great deal of
talk on the streets, as colored iurymen
have only sat in the federal court here
tofore, aud very few there. Sheriff
Smith threatens to Withdraw his deputy
that serves this court and tho popular
feeling is that the colored Juror must
go. The prisoner on trial was found
mot guilty." but AS Justice Schulz, un-
der the law, has no authority to sum
mon jurors only in case of coroner's
inquest, the verdict stands for naught.

because they naturally feel that the de-
velopment of the university destroy
their hope of taking first rank in the
state; the third, because he fancies he
sees tie safety of his institution threat
ened in the success of the university.
For years the organization of the uni
yersity was postponed. Sectarian col
leges, which gradually grew up, of
course objected to its organization.
While it was kept in allegiance, the Ag-
ricultural and Mechanical college, en-
dowed by the United States and Texas,
sprang into being, When the constitu-
lion OF 1876 was adopted, singular pro-
vision was inserted which made the
Agricultural and Mechanical college
part of the then INDICATED university.
or course the object was to get
at the funds belonging to il, and
from which IL drew literally until
the university was located and
organized. The supply then became,
OF course, insufficient to support two
colleges, miles apart and necessarily
teaching the same branches. The uni
verslty is dependent on its own endow-
ment, while tie Agricultural and Me
chanical college has the endowment
given by the United States. Again, the
state may make appropriations out of
the general revenue for the, Agricnlt
ural and Mechanical college, but cannot
for the University. Again, provision
was inserted in the law creating the
board of regents, "that regent should
hold no public Office" The same re-
striction was not placed on the directory
of the Agricultural and Mechanical
college, who has to day an energetic,
active German battling for its demands
on the floor Of tho senate, and he is the
chairman of educational committee,
While the University can only trust its
cause to the sympathy and considera-
ton of others in the senate, who, APP
preciatlng the difficulties surrounding
this great hope Of Texas, shall see 10 1T
that 1t is not cut down by it enemies
