SANDY LOAN SOILS.
How They Can be Converted Into Dark
Loans.


Loans.
Light sandy loan soils are often
Q, slled leachy, meaning that manure
am. lied to them sinks into the subsoil
and is lost. No farmer who has
worked such soils has any such belief
or fear. The writer has been farming
such land 70. nearly ten years. and by

this the sandy subsoil still remains as
light-colored as ever. and shows not
the slightest evidence that the manure
has ever reached it. Nor cover. the
sandy bottom of the barn cellar, in
which four hundred or five hundred
loads of manure have been made every
year, and in which the liquids from
twenty cows have flowed for ten years.

that this stratum of soil has been SUI

soil is at all leachy.-N T. Times.
