Rye as Green Manure,

A friend to rye manuring says in Il
letter to Rural New Yorker: If sown in
the latter part Of August the cost can
be nearly met in pasture for cows in the
fall The covering to the ground is a
very large benefit; also the work Of the
roots in gathering and holding plant
food and the improved condition Of the
soil in spring. Sown on very light sand,
have had it pillow in March as if it
were sod. The ground seemed perfectly
filed with roots, and with no other ma
nuring the crops were highly satisfac-
tory. a E
AS to allowing the rye to grow until
the middle of May or later and then
blowing down for corn or potatoes, /
would not think of it for moment for
light land or any but stiff, rugged soil,
and then with many doubts The sour
ing Of such a quantity Of green stuff
could not as rule be favorable to grow
ing plants. l have fields now SO thickly
matted with rye that one can walk oyer
them without getting muddy shoes.
They will be plowed as soon as the
ground settles for peas, Strawberries,
early potatoes and little later ON for
field beans. would not exchange the
benefit of the rye to those crops for any
