FARMING IN BOHEMIA.
How the Lands are Kept Fertile for
Centuries.

Charles Jonas, United States consul at
Prague, has sent to the State department a re-
port of Bohemian agriculture and its results
in 1888. The statement he believes, will
be OF interest to farmers in the east
ern states where productiveness of lands is
said to have declined in such a'degree that cul-
tivation at the present low prices of agricul-
tural produce frequently does not pay. The
soil of New England, he says, has been under
culture for about two centuries, while Bo-
hernia was settled by an agricultural
race of people in the fifth century OF the
Christian era. The present population upon
an area not quite one-haIf great as that Of
the state of Ohio is nearly 5000. 900, yet Bohe-
milan agriculture to-day stands equal to
any in Europe, excepting, perhaps, the
English. As a result of a thorough survey of
the kingdom of Bohemia only 43S per cent of
it's whole area was found to be unproductive.
The chief cause of the continued fer
tility of the soil, Mr.. Jonas says, is manur-
ing. To the middle of the present century
only natural manure was employed in Bohemia.
Since that time artificial manure has come into
extensive use. The most commonly used of
artificial manures are superphosphate,
especially of bones and dissolved guano
and bone dust, pure and chemically pre-
pared. Those less frequently used are kainit
Of Stassfurt. Chill ssltpetre, and Thomas dust
made of the dross of the smelling works. The
next important causes of the lasting produc-
tiveness of Bohemian farm lands, Mr.. Jonas
says, are routaton of crops, periodical change
Of seeds and deep blowing.
