RID OF STONES.
It Is Possible That to Do So Is Not Always the Most Profitable
 Proposition.

It is told of a Scotch farmer, who had just rented new farm, that he hired host of workers and cleared his fields of millions of stones in readiness for his first grain crops. Instead of benefiting the land the loss of the stones actually spoiled the crop and next season the stones were care fully. returned to the land with good results. We cannot vouch for the accuracy of this story, but it serves to bring up the question whether 1t al- ways pays to rid land of stones. There are instances in which we feel sure that it does not pay.
 The other day we passed a big plowed field in Wisconsin where the farmer had used the harrows and was then busily engaged with hired hand in collecting and hauling of round stones of the cobble-stone type that were everywhere to be seen lying upon the newly turned surface, says A. s. Alexander, in Farmers Review. The land was rolling and as the train
 
 field being operated upon was really deep bed of coarse gravelly clay. The entire depth of soil was composed of stones and clay, so that removal of one layer of surface stones could not possibly benefit the surface soil con- dition for any great length of time Each blowing and narrowing followed by rains would be sure 10 bring as many stones to the surface as were there before, and one might keep clearing of each year for a generation without removing them all or doing any great amount of good. The work of stone gathering and removal was in this case to our mind waste of labor and money, and it is questioned if the stones by gradual disintegration or weathering do not produce the plant food upon which crops feed.
 On powder clay, where the stones are very large and comparatively scarce, it certainly pays to get rid of them by use of dynamite or other means. Such rocks are of little value and are a nuisance to the plowman or when moving or harvesting, and should be hauled out to the fence line as soon as they can be dislodged. Where the land is naturally stony its fertility is liable to be associated with the presence of stones and their re- moval may prove detrimentalsaltho work may be facilitated for a time by their absence. The subject is of some interest and we would like to have the experience of men who have made 1t their practice each spring to get rid of as many surface stones as possible upon land that is naturally filled with them.
