AN IMPROVED METHOD OF RO-
TATINo CROPS.

Road-makinE-MiIkIn stool
and Home Hints


Whenever farming has progressed
beyond the first stage of clearing new
land a rotation OF crops is found neces-
sary. The new settler has enough to
do putting up buildings and making
necessary fences to protect his crops
TO occupy spare time. 1t is an advan-
tage to him if his crops require his
labor only short time each year. to
SOW OF plant and TO harvest. But
there IS no farming country in the
world where men can live as men
should, merely by working two or
three weeks In year. So the one
crop has TO give way to variety fur
nishing employment through as large
a part of the year as possible.
Equally important to the soil itself
is the rotation OF crops proposed. Con-
tinuous cropping with any kind Of
grain or hood crop exausts the soil of
the elements of plant food which that
crop requires. Land that is left IN
seeded is wasted IN winter by floods
that are the more destructive when
forests are cleared away. and the bare
ness OF the surface enables the frost
to penetrate more deeply. By this
time too, the natural water courses
made by decay OF tree roots in the
soil are closed up. This obliges the
water that used to sink in the subsoil
to rln OF ouritlis surface. Aet,w yeafs
OF cropping, which leaves the land
naked ia winter. carries into creeks
and rivers the larger part of its avail
able plant food. 1t takes all that is
soluble. and what cannot be thus car
ried of is only slowly put into con-
dition for plants TO use.
tits this winter waste of naked land
that makes it so important and even
necessary TO keep the surface seeded
as much as possible. Time was when
l grass either in pasture or hay was the
main source of the manure the farm-
err used. Now thousands of farmers
have learned that they can make far
more barnyard manure from corn fod-
der than they can from hay grown on
twice the amount of land. Yet SO
great is the advantage OF clover that
even ulutE THIS uloduAlALN 1t Is likely
always to be sown. While it lasts it
keeps the land covered in winter
After it Is gone it makes a frst-rate
seed bed FOR corn.
Out of these facts some farmers of
our acquaintance think they have
learned an improved solution. TAX
ing q clover sod as the starting point
th6y pillow and drill in corn. This is
sown after the corn is of, or after the
last cultivation with rye, merely to
keep the land partly covered. In the
spring rye is plowed and the land
sown with either oats or barley and
seeded with clover. The next season
the clover is allowed TO get nearly in
to bloom, when it is plowed and fol-
lowed with corn or potatoes again.
Land thus treated keeps in good heart
with the manure made from feeding
the corn crop. It's a plan adopted by
farmers who cultivate only few acres.
