Green Manurine of Crops.

There are many soils that are not
benefited by green manuring crops.
Such soils are those already rich in
nitrogen and in numus. An investiga-
ton by the University of Illinois has
shown that on many of the soils in
Illinois an addition of humus and OF
nitrogen would be positive detriment.
This leads 10 the remark that we must
have a reason for every farm opera
ton. The green manure crop is needed
on that soil that is deficient in humus
and nitrogen, but is labor lost on many
other soils. 1t is obvious that we can
not lay down rules that can be blindly
followed on all farms. The green ma
nuring crop is valuable where it is
needed, but worthless or worse, where
it is not needed. The intelligence of
every farmer must determine the ne
cessity for each operation on the farm.

HOGS NOSE IS ALL RIGHT.
70 Disfgure the Shout Which the Gre
ator Has Given to the An
imal Is Mistake.

have noticed instances where some
of my farmer brethren asked which in
struments are best in disfiguring the
nose of a hog | beg to answer the
same by saying, in the first place, that
1t is inhuman and inexcusable cruelty
to disfgure the nose of hog, remarks
a writer in Northwestern Agriculturist,
besides, it is detriment to the owne~.
Our Creator gave the hog his snout to
root with, in order to find medical
substance which his system needs to
cleanse the blood, to disinfect all
worms and trichinea and to keep him
in good health and a thrifty condition.
But if that is prevented by disfguring
his nose, and this medical substance
is not fed to him, he will then become
unhealthy and diseased and will be
unfit for mankind to consume / will
venture to say that 90 per cent, of
cholera hogs have died with a disfig-
ured nose.

said purposes should be held liable for
