ROTATION OF CROPS.
One of the Most Important Questions Rela.
tive to Farm Work.


tive to Farm Work.
A subscriber asks US for information
about rotation of crops. This is one of
the most important questions relating to
farm work, and deserves especial con-
sideration. 1t has long been considered
as indispensable to good and successful
farming and there is no reason to sup
pose under the light of all the later
knowledge derived from experiment and
study, as well as improved practice,
that the old farmers were mistaken
The old practice was to follow grain
with a grass crop or with one which re-
auired frequent cultivation of the soil.
This was so firmly established that
among the English farmers whose crops
on the average have more than doubled
ours, every tenant was bound by his
lease to conform to it, and never to fol-
low a grain crop with another one of
the same kind. The reason for this was
and is that the growth of consecutive
crops of the same kind rapidly exhauSts
the soil, or encourages the growth of
weeds. 1t is found in the natural
growth of plants and forests that q GER
tain growth is generally succeeded
after it has attained its maturity-by a
different kind of vegetation: for instance,
when pine forest has been cut off, or
has been destroyed by fire, hard woods
succeed it, or when oaks or other hard
woods have been cut of, pines grow in
their place. The old fields of the South
,fNtn nj
and the cold field pine" covers the
abandoned land from which
hardwood forest was cut Oft, to make
room for tobacco and cotton. The ex-
plantation of this fact is, that hard
woods are rich of potash, and taking
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 ST.
ica, and poor of potash, the soil ex-
hausted of potash, 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 or oafleY, anu lHoA
the land is MANFRED, 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 and 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 improved, perhaps, by
sowing the grass and clover by them
selves in the spring, and not with the
wheat, or early in the fall, as soon as
wheat is removed, thus permitting the
soil to be thoroughly prepared for the
grass seeding, b. which its success IS
greatly encouraged--Amertcam Agra'

a GREEDY HOG.
Two Hundred and Fifty Dollars Chewea
Up by Porker.

Two Hundred and Fifty Dollars Chewed
Up by Porker.
ATLANTA constitutional
Mr.. Lod Hill, pre- ident of the Gate City
National Bank, has in his possession two
hundred and fifty dollars in greenbacks
which was eaten by hog. The money
belonged to NJ. A. Goer, who lives near
Salt Springs. Early Saturday morning
Mr.. Goer went into his hog lot to feed his
hogs. He had two hundred and fifty dol
lars in his vest pocket and in the same
pocket he carried his pen-knife. After
feeding his hogs Mr.. Goer watched
them a few minutes and while watch
ing them had occasion to use his knife.
Without any thought of the money he
put his hand in his vest pocket and pulled
out the knife. The money came out with
it and dropped TO the ground. Shortly
after leaving the pen, Mr.. Goer put the
knife back into his pocket, and as he did
so discovered that the money was gone.
He instantly returned to the pen, and just
as he reached it he saw a twO-hundred-
pound porker chewing the bills. Mr.. Goer
sprang at the hog, and the hog ran, carry
ing the money in his mouth. The race was
a spirited one. 1t was round and round
the pen The hog was too fat to hold out
long, and when he began to tire of the race
he commenced dropping the bills piece by
piece and lump by lump. Mr.. Coer con-
tinued the chase, however, Until the hog
mad dropped all the money.

Apples Without Cores.
Erie pa Herald, /

A nurseryman of Warren County, it is
said, claims to be able to grow apples with
out cores. His theory is to bend the twig
when the size of small elder and insert
the top in the ground. When the top takes
root sufficient, cut off near the butt and
stake it up perpendicularly. The result
will be tree growing butt end up, which
so demoralizes nature that baroness of core
and seed ensues.
