Ro1Arlol oE Crops.
Domposition of Soils and Way to Main-
tain Thelr Fertility.

COmpOsltion OF Soils and Way to matnr
tain Their Fertility.
AS the result of the analyses of 15o
samples of soils, the Minnesota station
has issued a bulletin of which the fol-
lowing is summary:
!. The continued cropping of soils to
grain crops only without any system of
rotation or other treatment is telling
severely upon the original stock of half
decomposed animal and vegetable mat
ters, and nitrogen. Soils which have
produced grain crops exclusively for ten
or fifteen years contain from third to
half less humuN and nitrogen than
adjoining soils that have never been
plowed.
.. Soils which have been cropped
until the organic matters and humus
have been materially decreased re-
tain less water and dry out more
rapidly than when there is large
amount of organic matter present in
the soil.
5. Soils which are rich in humus
contain larger amount of phosphates
associated with them in available
forms than the soils that are poor in
humus.
4. Soils which are rich in humus and
organic matters produce larger
amount of carbon dioxide that acts as
a solvent upon the soil particles and
aids the roots in procuring food.
5. one-half of sandy knoll, heavily
manured with well-rotted manure, con-
tanned nearly quarter more water
during six weeks drought than the
other half that received no manure.
= The supply of organic matter in
the soil must be kept up, because it
takes such an important part, indi-
rectly, in keeping up the fertility of
the soil. A good system of rotation, I'm
Guiding sod crops and well-prepared
farm manures, will do this, and will
avoid the introduction and use of COM
mercial fertilizers, which are now cost
ing the farmers of the United States
over s35, 100000 annually. 1t will not
do to wait until this question forces it,
self upon us.
Z. A rotation of crops will soon be
necessary on account of the peculiar
composition of some of the soils and
the corresponding sub-soils, especially
those in which the surface soils are
richer in phosphates and nitrogen
while the sub-soils are richer in potash
and lime. By means of rotation, the
full benefits of the strong points of both
the top soils and the sub-soil will be
secured,

FOR hAuLlNG Hay.
A Cheap and Simple Rack and Some of
Its Advantages.

A Cheap and Simple Rack and Some of
Its Advantages.
The hayrack shown in the illustra-
ton is one which l used last summer.
1t is 16 feet long and feet wide. Two
inch lumber is used for the sills and
cross pieces, the former being inches
and the latter inches in width. Three
boards are nailed or bolted on top of
the cross pieces on each side of the
rack A 2x4 scantling long enough to
reach from the outer edge of the rack
to the inside of the boards is bolted
edgewise on top of the two hind cross
pieces. An inch strip must be placed
upon the hind cross piece to bring it up
to a level with the one in front of the
hind wheel. The cross pieces are now
high enough SO that when the boards
are placed upon them they will be out
of the way of the wheel. This makes
a rack Which is nearly level, being only
inches higher behind than in front.
This rack is advantageous in that the
distance between the stills is smaller at
the front end than at the rear end of
the rack, thus allowing shorter turns
than when they are made parallel In

An Important Ouestlon.

The most searching question for
every farmer to ask himself is what
proportion of good land on his farm
goes to waste. 1t only needs more cap
ital per acre to bring up the productive
ness of these waste places SO that they
will equal the best. There is always
profit in good land we'll cared for. The
failures in farming invariably re-
suit from trying to cultivate land
that has not been brought into condi-
tion for profitable cropping, or else
from trying to cultivate more land
than could be kept well titled. There
is no profit from halfway work on the
farm,
