Return to the Old Wavs.

Some of the old ways of farming are
as good as the new. The old methods
tended to conserve and increase the hu-
mus content of the soil. Later the fer
tilizer craze set in. and little attention
was paid to preventing the exhaustion of
the humus in the soil, which has result
ed in the decrease of the average yield
of the grain and oil-seed crops. Now,
after so years of an exhaustive system
of stimulated culture, there has come
an urgent appeal from scientific sources
for farmers to use every possible means
to increase humus in the soil by grow
ing and turning under the nitrogen
gathering crops, and to make a mor9
judicious use of commercial fertilizers
by using a quantity of them in con-
nection with greatly increased amount
of barn-yard manure.-Farm and Fire
