Keeping the soiI Fertile.

According to Prof. Whitney of the
Eureau of Soil, United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture, soil 10 be fertile
must contain a sufficient quantity of
the ash ingredients of the plants to be
cultivated, and these must be in such
soluble condition as to be taken up
by the growing plants. Soils once fer
tile are said to be exhausted when de-
prived of such food as is required for
plant nutrition, but rest and meliorat-
Ing treatment will, In time, restore
such soils to fertile condition.
Until past the year 1850 no just
ideas upon the rotation of crops seem
ed to have been formed in any part Of
England.
The rotation OF crops affords time
for the dlsintegrating action of the at
mosphere, rain and frost to prepare
new material from the rock particles
In the soil and get 1t in a form to be
used by the plant One crop may use
up the available food of a particular
kind faster than 1t cen be prepared
by these natural agencies. When prop
erly managed it enables one plant to
prepare food for another.
All plants exhaust the soil, though
in an unequal degree; plants of diff
ferent kinds do not exhaust the soil in
the same manner; all plants do not
restore to the soil a like quantity or
quality of manure, and all plants are
not equally favorable to the growth
of weeds. Upon the above principles
is based a regular succession of crops.
Though the system of rotation is
adapted to every soil, no particular
rotation can be assigned to any one
description of soil which will answer
at all times, and on the demand for
different kinds of produce. On clayey
soils, beans and clover, with rye grass
are generally alternated with grain
crops, and on dry loans or sandy
ground turnips, beets, potatoes and
clover. On rich soils this system OF
alternate husbandry Is most conducive
to the plentiful production of food,
both for men and animals. One por-
ton of a farm would thus be always
under grain crops, while the other por-
ton was growing roots or cultivated
grasses; but, as the major part Of ar
able lands can not be preserved in a
state of fertility with even this kind Of
management, it is requisite that the
portion of the farm which is under
cultivated grasses should be pastured
for two or three years, in order to give
1t time to recruit. The following is a
good rotation OF crops: First year,
clover; second. clover; third, corn;
fourth, oats; fifth, wheat. The clover
does we'll with oats, and after an early
moving can be very we'll prepared for
wheat.

Cricket is the national game of En-.
gland, and 1t would no more help one
to identify an Englishman by saying
that he was cricket player than 1t
would to distinguish college man In
this country to say that he was de-
voted to baseball In his book on the

Daft relates many amusing things of
the sport and of men who have been
connected with 1t. One Of his stories
is about two Nottingham players of a
common family name with similar ini-
tials
We had two players of the name Of
Johnson, one being John Johnson, for
years the secretary of our county
team, and the other Isaac Johnson.
AS John Johnson's initial was near

arose concerning the individuality Of
the two players.

porter Of cricket in Motifs, once got
into conversation with a stranger in
a railway carriage. Cricket cropping
up in the course of conversation, the
stranger happened to say he knew
Mr.. Johnson, who belonged to Noting

asked Mr.. Thornton If he knew him.
Mr.. Thornton replied that he knew
two Mr.. Johnsons who played.

Orchard Pests.

Whether there Is a good or poor
fruit crop 1t will pay to keep the fruit
trees as free from disease and injuri-
GUS insects as possible, The healthy
and uninjured tree Is more liable to
bear and prove profitable than the
one full Of disease and injury. The
orchard will last longer II It Is kept
clean and healthy.
Borers are among the most insldi
GUS pests Of the apple orchard In some
they cannot be reached by poisonous
sprays, and nostrums placed about the
roots, as sometimes recommended, are
utterly useless. The most efficient
means of preventing damage from
these pests is by anual inspection OF
the trees and removal of the grubs
with a sharp pointed knife, Various
protective measures are also used.
One of the most effective is to paint
the lower part of the stem in late
winter or early spring with a fairly
thick paint made from pure ready
mixed paints for this purpose, since
others may contain Injurious sub
stances. Wood veneer strips and wire
gauze are sometimes used to prevent
the eggs from being laid on the trunks
of the trees, but white lead paint is
simple and cheaper.
Black rot is a fungous disease which
attacks the fruit, foliage, old bark and
branches of apple and pear trees. The
leaf spot form probably causes more
damage than the other forms. Some
times black rot cankers on the trunk,
and the limbs develop so rapidly as to
endanger the life of trees, but this is
seldom the case except where spraying
is wholly neglected. The fruit is rarely
seriously injured, though outbreaks in
this form may sometimes be quite SO
we're.
