The Want of the Farm

The want of agriculture in the New
England and otte older States is barn
ward manure. Minds less practical than
ours would say higher agriculture. or
more applied science, or more education,
etc. is wanted. Science is well enough,
and so is what old fashioned people call
"book -larnin' =" All are well if they
help on the main proposition, An increase
OF barn yard manure.
Good farming cannot be carried on in
the older States without this factor Crops
NAV be ruined on virgin soils for a time,
and the manure allowed to 60 to waste,
but in time it will be required. The faith
ers now. in Illinois and Indiana, used
to waste their manure. as they said
they did not need it. The sons find now
that the light lands are so much lighter
that the crops are very meager. And the
heavy lands are so soggy, packed and
poor, that they, too, produce crops hardly
paying cost ct culture. Millions of farms
in the South have become so from lack of
a return to them of the very materials
contained in barnyard manure The poor
feelings so much complained of. are
caused by the impoverishment of the soil
in plant food suited to the termination
and growth of grass seed, and the mois.
-ture supplied by its presence. and the fri
able condition it produces. The study OF
farmers must be how best to supply this
great want. We shall endeavor to tell
them from time to time.
