Diseases of plants are difficult to pre-
vent unless rotation of crops is prac-
ticed. To allow the same kind of crop
two or more years in succession on a
plot of land promotes the increase of
insects and spreads diseases of certain
plants in the soil. For instance, when
crop of potatoes is attacked by dis
ease the land should be given up to
some other crop the next year, as the
planting of potatoes on land upon
which diseased crop was grown the
previous year is the surest mode Of
propagating the evil.

Selecting Calves.

The Practical Farmer gives this
method of selecting calves to raise,
which is followed by many successful
dairymen: Turn the little calf on its
back and see that it has four we'll
placed teats-that is, wide apart-and
two rudimentaries, or extra teats.
Next see that 1t has large udder cord,
which You can feel on the side, rub
bling finger back and forth. Such parts
are made in proportion, and large
udder indicates that the calf when it
becomes a COW will carry large I'D

Buying IA Cow.

Buying COW is Il greater risk than
buying horse, yet some farmers who
will not trust themselves in judging
horses when buying will go out and
take up fresh cows from any one who
has them for sale. The farmer who will
breed for better cows and keep his
calves may imagine that it does not
pay. but if he will avoid buying worth
less cows and aim to improve he will
soon discover that he can make a larger
profit on fewer COWS and also have less
labor to perform in so doing.

mouth, and If there are eight teeth,
well through, you can safely raise that
calf. If there are only two teeth put
through, reject the calf, because, as

Inso1eb1c Phosphates.
The use Of insoluble phosphates.
whether in the form of phosphate rock
or of the so-called Thomas Stag has
long been bone of contention or de-
batable matter, not only among the sci
entitic men, but the practical farmers.
The former have questioned whether
the insoluble phosphate could be of any
value as plant food, and some of the
farmers have claimed that their crops
were very much beuetited by it. AL
though we have not tested it, our opin-
lou leads us to believe that the farmers
are right, and those who rely only on
scientific principles may be wrong. We
do not place sufficient confidence in the
power of the soil and the action of
frosts, rain and summer heat upon
what are sometimes called insoluble
fertilizers. We know little of the power
that these elements exert, and when to
the natural elements of the soil there
may be added the effect of Gecomposing
vegetable matter, either as stable
manure or rs green manure plowed un-
der, we can only say that we think they
have much effect in making soluble not
only phosphate but other mineral ele-
ments in the soil. Those who have used
the finely ground rock or Thomas Stag
upon fields which had received a liberal
dressing of stable manure, or had been
treated with n green crop plowed under,
are so unanimously In its favor that we
cannot doubt but that the so-called in
soluble phosphates do become soluble
in the soil under certain conditions, de
pending upon the soil or the treatment
1t has received.-Mnssachu Plough
