Green Manuring For Prairie Soils.

The continued cropping of prairie
soils to grain crops, without any system
Of rotation, is telling severely upon their
original stock of half decomposed animal
and vegetable matters and nitrogen, &C
cording to H. Snyder of the Minnesota
station. Soils which have been cropped
until the organic matters and humus
have been materially decreased retain
less water and dry out more readily than
when there is a larger amount OF organic
matter in the soil. Soils which have pro-
duced grain crops exclusively for 10 to
Is years are found to contain from a
third to half less hun1us and nitrogen
than adjoining soils that have never been
plowed. Soils which are rich in humus
and organic matters produce a larger
amount of carbon dioxid, which, dissolved
in the Microscopic soil moisture, acts as
a solvent upon the soil particles and aids
the roots In procuring food. Such soils
are found to contain larger amount Of
phosphates in available forms than the
soils that are poor in humus.
One-half Of a sandy knoll, heavily
ulanured with well rotted manure, con-
tanned nearly a quarter more water dur
ing six weeks drought than the other
shalf that received no manure. The sup
ply of organic matter mustbe maintain
ed in the soil, because it takes such an
important part indirectly in keeping up
the fertility of the soil. A good system
of rotation, including sod crops and
well prepared farm manures, will do
this On many prairie farms, a rotation
Of crops will soon be necessary on &C
count of the peculiar composition OF
some of the soils and their corresponding
subsoils, especially those in which the
surface soils are richer in phosphates and
nitrogen while the subsoils are richer IN
potash and lime. By a proper rotation OF
crops, the full benefits of the strong
points of both the top soil and the sub
soil will be secured.
