Long experience confirms the theory
that the same crops. though adequate.
" MANFRED. will in time wear out the
clemens of the soil for which they
are especially adapted. tho fact max
ing itself known by the falling Oh In
their quantity and quality together
After certain period. either the
crops have to be changed or tho land
must be suffered 10 lie fallow. The
latter treatment is too expensive in
our modern farming. and therefore
the only alternative Is TO change tho
crops entirely. Fir this purpose it is
Of course essential that as large a
variety Of crops be cultivated As is
practicable. Tho experiments in the
garden furnish safe guide
for those in the field. We always
know that lands cropped with
wheat or tobacco for a number Of
years will steadily decline in fertility.
while those devoted to markei-gartlen-
ing are as steadily gaining productive
ness. There is Of course some good
reason for this best les the character
of the soil alone. Nor will the ques-

menis Of the case. II is we'll demon
s:rat.-l that the crop itself has ex.
haustcd these properties Of the soil
by which it is chiefly nOurished.
According tn Pr (, Goessmann. the
introduction of clover and potatoes
marks new era in this respect in
agriculture. The old fOur-years'
course. called tho Norfolk ,ursc."
was as follows: First year. root.crops
-turnips. rutabagas etc; second
year. summer grains-barley. ETC;
third year. fodder crops-lequ-
minous plants. clover etc; fourth

etc. Now instead Il grain

latter occupy fully twO-thirds OF the
