Rotation of Crops.

With many crops rotation seems bene-
fetal, independent of yearly manuring, to
keep up the fertility of the soil With some,
however, it does not appear necessary. Pc
tatoes and onions, especially the latter, do
well on the same soil for years, provided
they are properly fortified. AS both are
pre-eminently hoed crops, the kind of Guilt
walton they receive to make them profit
able keeps the soil in the best possible con-
dition for their growth. For the onion crop
the ground should be exceedingly mellow
and rich. Barnyard and hogpen manure
are both excellent for this crop. provided
they are we'll decomposed and thoroughly
mixed with the soil. No crop will pay bet
ter for an uncommonly good preparation of
the soil than this. A yearly top dressing of
ashes applied to the onion beds and raked in
before the planting is highly recommended.
For the potato the ground should be deeply
plowed and well narrowed to pulverize it.
The burrows for the seed>bed should be deep
and wide, to give the tubers room to form
without obstruction from the firmer soil of
their Sides For this crop the standard COM
mercial fertilizers have given the best re-
turns, and are now more commonly used
than for any other They may be sown
broadcast or more directly applied. For
their most economical use they may either
be mixed with the loose soil in the bottom
of the furrow before the seed is dropped, or
be scattered on top of first shallow COW
ering, leaving the fu-row to be filled when
the shoots begin to appear. 1t is not qnite
settled whether above or below the seed il
