Rotation OfCrOps.

A subscriber of the Americun Agric,I-
turist asks for information about rotation
of crops. In answer to the inquiry the
.grscalturist says: This is one of the
most important questions relating to farm
work, and deserves especial considera-
ton. 1t has long been considered as in
dispensable to good and successful farm
ing, and there is no r"ason to suppose,
under the light of all the later kncwl-
cage derived from experiment and study.
as we'll as improved practice, that the old
farmers were mistaken. The old prac-
tice was to follow grain with grass
crop or with one which required frequent
cultivation of the soil. This was so
firmly established that among the Eng
lish farmers, whose crops on the average
have more than doubled ours, ev,ry ten
ant was bound by his lease to conform
to it and never to follow gain
crop with another one of the
SAME kind. Jhe reason for this
was, and is, that the growth OF consecu-
tive crops of the same kind rapidly ex-
ra,lsts the soil or encourages the growth
of weeds. It is found in the natural
growth of plants and forests, that Ger
t.in growth is generally succeeued-after
it has attained its maturity-by differ
ent kind of negotiation; for instance,
when a pine forest has beer cut off or
LIS been destroyed by fire, hard woods
succeed it, and when oaks or other hard
woods have been cat off pines grow in
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1886-04-07

their place. The old fields Of the South
are standing example of this, and the
'oid field pine covers the abandoned land
from which hardwood forest was cut
off, to make room for tobacco and cotton.
The explanation of this fact is, that hard
woods are rich in potash, and taking q
large quantity of this element from the
soil, leaves the land deficient in it and
unable to produce another
growth of hard woods: but
as pine is rich in silica and
poor IN potash, the soil exhausted of pot
ash and having an abundance of silica,
produces the pine with ease, when it
could not produce oaks, hickories and
other hard woods. The same principle
applies to farm crops, and hence wheat
is followed by grass and clover and these
with corn, and corn with oats and barley;
and then the land is manured and wheat
is grown again. In practice, we think
this rotation is too short, and would be
greatly improved by root crop after
corn, and oats or barley after the roots,
with clover following, and the second
years clover plowed in for wheat, with
which grass is sown, with clover added
in the spring. But this, too, might be
perhaps, by sowing the grass
and clover by themselves in the spring
and not with the wheat, or early in the
fall, as soon as the wheat is removed,
thus permitting the soil to be thorougly
prepared for the grass seeding, by which
its success is greatly encouraged.n

Setting Tarred Posts.

Some posts were being set around our
public square; some farmers were watch
ing the work and one sad the ends of the
posts that were in the ground should be
dsubed with tar.
. Another said, no, it would do more
harm than good. A third said the tai
should be put Oh when the post is dry and
extend some inches above the surface of
the ground.
The first man was right in thinking
that tar was good for preserving posts,
but was wrong in thinking that it was
good to apply under all circumstances.
The second was, to some extent, right in
advising against the use Of tar, as it has
been found that when applied to green
posts it not only keeps the water out
but also keeps the sap in, and thus has
tens decay.
The third was right in saying the tar
should be applied when the posts were
dry and extend some inches above the
surface of tEe ground, for it has been
observed that decay is more rapid at this
boint than above or below.
These men had right ideas as far as
they went, but not gJing far enough were
likely to result in injury, and in a few
minutes conversation in interchange of
ideas all got broaderviews and were bene-
fited.--Rural WtrM.

The "King Beet"

about Floyd King, the member Of Con-
gress from Louisiana, the other day.
Last year the Agricultural Department
introduced a new kind of beet which
was labeled "The King Beet" becau,e it
was believed to be the monarch of that
branch of the vegetable kingdom: Con-
gresham King was quite gratited at the
selee ton of this name and at once saw
way to tusn it to political profit. He
went through the House OF Representa-
tivcs and traded off all his other seeda
and documents for seeds of the King
Beet and sent package to every farmer

and now live under the impression tbat

And still He leads us on.

After the drearinesS, the aching pain,
The wayward struggles which have proved IN
vain,
After our tolls are past,

FARM AND HOUSE.
TOPICS OF INTEREST TO THE
FARMER AND HOUSEWIFE.
Fertilizer for Potatoes,

The largest and best crop of potatoes
have been grown with artificial fertilizers.
A special potato manure is made express
ly for this crop, put up with certain
proportion of potash, phosphoric acid,
nitrogen, and lime to meet the require
ments of the plant, Barn manure or any
vegetable matter encourages the wire
worms, which injurc the tubers and
cause scab or.roughness of the skin, and
so reduces the market value greatly.
The artificial fertilizers contain muriate
of potash, which is poisonous to animal
life, and superphosphate Of lime and
ammonia, which are extremely malodor-
Gus and distasteful to insects. About 600
pounds per acre of the fertilizer is cons:d-
cred full requirement; half is narrowed
in before planting and half spread broad
cast after it.-New York Times.

Guarding Against Drought.

La season was in many places unusu-
ally moist, and it's reasonable to expect
considerable dry weather this summer.
This is noteso serious an evil as many
farmers think, because it can be guarded
against, especially with cultivated crops.
Early planting alone is often sufficient to
make crop of early potatoes on rich soil,
and this is made more certain by plant
ing only on clover sod, whose decay will
attract moisture during the critical time
when the tubcrs are forming.
The same result may also be obtained
by allowing the young clover to get a
growth of ten to twelve inches in height,
and then turning it under. This sue
culent mass roots so rapidly that it fills
the soil with moisture which not even a
protractcd drought will dry out. Sowing
salt or ashes on the surface of the soil
has also the effect of making it more
retentivc of moisture. Many farmers
believe that the good effects of the gyp-
sum arc due to the moisture which it
attracts from the air and deposits upon
the leaves of plants.
Probably the best of all ways to pre-
vent drought is persistent cultivation,
and especially whenever there is little
moisture from rain or dews. AS the
cultivator turns this water under the
surface it is retained, the loose soil act
ing as q mulch to protect it from cvap-
Grating. AS light summer rains falling
in q dry time are rich in ammonia,
frequent cultivation increases fertility,
and that, too, in the most available form
for immediate e.-Cultioator.

1.-Two ns You Teach.

The Rev. J. F. Sergeant, writes an ar
ticle to the London Sabbath School Teach
er upon the Importance of following up
the teachings of the lips by the teach
ings of the life. He says:
Il do not say to you that you should
study appearances carefully guard
against being accounted as a hypocrite. I
say rather that you should study rcali-
ties, and seek to be everywhere and at all
times real and attractive disciple. If
you are addicted to the pleasures Of the
table, or irritable aid cantankcrous at
your home, or if you are vain in dress or
person, or hard or unfair in your money
dealings, or vindict!ve and fierce in your
behaviour to your friends, it will all
come out, and every scholar connected
with you will quietly apply to you the
proverb, Physician, heal thyself.'
II knew teacher, wealthy and tai
ented. His fault was that he was too
eager for money, and it was the less ex-

needed to lay by. A blight seemed to
rest upon his work. and when at last he
invested a considerable sum in purchas-
ing public house, property which was
of very low character morally, but
which yielded good return for his
money, his influence sank down. to an
utter cipher. shall never forget the
contempt with which one of his scholars
spoke to me about him. Hsd he been
an avowed man of the world there would
have been nothing in him to be despised.
But his professed aims and hopes were
higher than those of the worldling, and
it was humbling to him to be looking for
an increase to his gains in the cutters of
excess and vice. Perhaps he meant to
improve the public houses by introducing
better tenants, and checking all bad Ian

reader for that kindly surmisc. Perhaps
he did; but perhaps he didn't. I dare

II know this much, that the respect
of circle of intelligent lads who gather
around US to listen to what We can tell
them of God and righteousness, is worth
more than interest at ten per cent. upon
