THE ROTATION OF CROPS.

The rotation of crops is a succession
of crops of different kinds following
each other in regular order and com
pleting a circuit In the rotation of
crops of different kinds, while they use
up the same elements in the soil, they
do not utilize them to the same degree,
and by raising crop of one kind this
year, another next year, and still an
other the succeeding year, we draw on
certain elements of plant food in differ
ent proportions and in different ways.
Potatoes, for instance, draw largely on
the soil for potash; the wheat crop draws
largely on the soil for nitrogen, so that
one can follow the other and not draw
on the same elements two successive
years to the same extent. Then again,
there is difference in the roots. Bar
ley, for instance, is shallow-rooted
crop, surface-feeding crop which util.
ICES the fertility in the surface soil.
Wheat corn and oats feed at greater
depth III the soil and by growing such
crops the fertility that is deeper in the
that there are fewer insect pests where
we have a rotation of crops because the
kind of insect that accompanies a certain
kind of crop will develop in the land to
some extent one year, but to much
greater extent the second year while
with another kind of crop, that insect
will die out entirely, though perhaps
new one will appear. Another advant-
age of the rotation of crops is that
systematic and successful cultivation is
followed in connection with cropping
and the mechanical condition of the soil
is improved. My own rotation is a corn
crop followed by an oat crop. and this in
turn followed by a clover crop. This
rotation is well suited for a stock farm,
particularly farm which is not all capa-
Bile of cultivation. For instance, in ms
case, have rolling land that ! would
much prefer to leave unPiowed owing to
surface washing. Then again / have
low land, upon which l find get much
better results by Pasturing than would
in trying to cure hay on it. / find il
pays best to pasture the low ground and
the rolling ground, and the parts OF my
land that expect to rotate are on lore
level portions. We leave the land in
clover for one year, unless the clover
should fail, in which case we allow it to
remain for two years. If the stand is to
remain two or more years I would pre-
er to SOW alfalfa. We top dress the
clover sod after cutting off the hay,
cropping and pasturing during the sum
mer and fall; then we plow for corn,
plant the corn one year and have no
difficulty in keeping it clean because
4. Fer sod is comparatively free from
weeds. In this way we secure the most
favorable conditions in regard to fertil
ity, in regard 10 cleanliness from weeds
and in regards 10 mechanical conditions
of the soil, as the clover sod is always
loose and easily cultivated. so that We
can secure better corn crop with
much smaller percentage of labor and
considerably more surety than formerly.

ALFALFA FOR MATURING.

Alfalfa as green manure has extra
ordinary value. The amount of plant
food gathered by an acre of alfalfa in
two years at the New Jersey Expert
mental station were equivalent in nitro
gen to that contained in $500 pounds of
nitrate of soda, in phosphoric acid to
that contained in 600 pounds of bone
black superphosPh ate, and in potash to
the amount contained in / 200 pounds of
murate of potash, These amounts of
plant food would cost at usual prices
$I24. Most of the nitrogen is evidently
taken from some other source, while the
potash appears to have been obtained by
tn d. long roots of the plant from the
LAYERS of subsoil and the same is true to
some extent of the phosphoric acid. Glow
er has much the same effect, thus making
available for ordinary crops mineral ele
ments of fertility that otherwise crops
might not be able to make use of, and
also adding to the soil considerable nitro
gen from the air.

DEEPENING THE SOIL.

Itis questionable whether it can be
considered advisable to pillow too deep at
once. Much depends upon the depth of
the soil. Generally the better plan is to
pillow not over six inches deep at first
and then gradually deepen as may be
considered best There Is hardly any
question that the turning up on the sur
fsce of any considerable quantity of un-
der OF subsoil that has never felt the in
fiuence of the mir and sunshine will have
bad effect upon the FRS. crop planted
in il. The reason for this is that the
plant food il may contain is in an unvais.
able form. Pillow up field three ,r
four inches deeper than il has bet n
alalSed hexeloIore and then sow wheat
Montpelier examiner. [volume] (Montpelier, Idaho) 1895-1937, 1896-03-14

or grass seed upon it, and the effect can
readily be seen. But pillow the same
field in the same way this fall and let it
lie exposed 10 the influences of rain,
snow, frost and air until spring and then
plant crop and the effect will be bene
fetal Ifplowing is done with the in
tention of planting crop reasonably
soon, the better plan is to deepen gradu-
ally, a little at each blowing. A soil
plowed or stirred deep will have con-
siderable larger amount of available
fertility, will retain moisture much bet
ter, will be less liable to bake and crops
growing in 1t will be less affected by
drouth or excessive moisture l am
satisfied after reTeated trials that less
frequent but deeper blowing and more
frequent stirring of the surface, both in
preparing the soil for the seeding or
planting OF crop and the cultivation
needed during growth will give more
satisfactory returns that what may be
considered shallow blowing and deep
cultivation, and in very many cases the
ability of the soil to grow and yield
larger crops could be attained by deeper
blowing and more thorough preparation
There is much plant food in the soil that
can be of little, if any, benefit to the
growing plants, for the reason it is moi
in an available form and the only way
of making It available is by stirring, Sc
as to bring it under the influence of the
different elements. But it should b,
done gradually if the most is to be mad,
out of it.

SENSIBLE OBSERVATIONS.

The feeding of fowls and chicks
should notbe done in a needless manner,
and the food used should be given for a
definite object. Feeding poultry merely
because one thinks they must be "filled
up" before going to roost is not the idea
at all Proper feeding of flock re-
quires good judgment, both as regards
the, selection of food and the times Ger
tain kinds should be given, and why
they are more suitable at one season
than another. The feeding of fowls and
growing chickens is necessarily quite
different.
Fowls require food for nourishment,
after they have ceased to grow, and any
amount beyond the bodily requirements
that is given goes to form fat or eggs.
Careful experimenting by intelligent
poultry men has proved beyond perad-
venture that certain foods are required
for egg production, and that, while there
are also some foods that will help egg
production, they have such fattening
tendency that it becomes necessary to
use them sparingly; otherwise the hens
will become too fat lay many eggs.
The Spanish bro IS are very active
and apparently tax great delight in for
aging over their runs, no matter how
well they are fed Their activity almost
borders on nervousness, and or this &C
count they cab hardly be overfed. Il
is saying that corn will fatten Asiatic'
like hogs, but the Leghorns will keel
in prime condition if their food is almos
exclusively corn, provided they have I
good run.
