In order to make FARMING ". !.
are several important or esssn.! r.
tions which must not be omiitS,
may be combined as a whole ~
or clashing. The E,isH
some Of the requisites:
l. Control OF the land bvd,.,..
convenient access TO the fieH. N

indispensable means for succes. y
cases good tile.draining has ofter i h
the crops without any increass \ ~;
in raising them. Good. veill.u
drains have great advantaos 49,.
improvements, because they ~ 4. r.!
and permanent. Unlike woodsn v!
ures, they are not liable "a dssss..1s
by weather or fire. They admit n NJ
finished in portions in different Z:
conferring their benefits Us isst !. b.
pleted. They enable the farmer 4 "
his crops early in spring and & I ;
them before the advent of mnd .ss !!
in autumn. They give him ~
low soil to work through the 49,. =!
stead Of encountering crusts snS H.
Besides this ready access to III NM r.
a soil in good condition, the add;s;,
aid should not be overlooked oI 49,:
nient entrance to every field by No.
a good farm road and we'll -laid.onf ~
ises. Each field is to have I r,s';I
entrance and not be reached tSs,s5
some other field or on another cnn
2. The land must be made rich ~
tilizers. In most cases barn MANN !,
be most important and valusbk y
materials for its manufacture shdvu II
wasted. Absorbents should Be yuf66s
to hold all the liquid parts. Wien p
piled it should be well diffnsed thrsi
the soil and not thrown on and halisss
cred in clods and Jumps. Besidu n
manure commercial fertilizers mn
purchased and used wherever ~
trial on the land has proved any d tl,s
to pay their cost and labor Of applyiiu
in the increased growth Of the A.
Flowing in clover and other green NJ
should not be omitted. II 0metils
proves the most efficient means d a
riching the land and increasing ts 81
ucts. An advantage frequently r.
from alternating the clover cropa ~
rye and buckwheat, and when uied h|
this purpose the rye should be tun1|
under as soon as the heads appear ~
before the grain is formed in order n
prevent it from becoming 50 hard 81
woody as not to mix well with the III,
3. A constant attention to clean III
! and in procuring and improving The N
rieties will sometimes make all the "
ference between encouraging profhni
, discouraging failure. Various grads I
; success will result between the two
4. Convenient tools and conyenid
buildings will be essential in all d
, farming. The labor Of horses will i
better and cheaper than hard vat \
: hand. Costly and complex maehlnds
(, not wanted few simple and e6ddf
) implements may accomplish paI
deal. A spacious Toulouse ard shaz
for all when not in use may keep ~
in smooth running order and du&
; their durability. Plows, harrows, ta6
vators, harvesting implements, -
cleaners and various hand tools xilld1
make the difference between clean, ~
:, low land with growing, luxuriant enl
q q and weedy, slipshod premises.
= 5. Domestic Animals.-The m St pA'

much importance, the rapid incrtss
fine animals of late years giving oppo
