THE TEN COMMANDMENTS OF
AGRICULTURE.
By DR.. Seaman A. Knapp.

% Prepare a deep and thoroughly
pulverized seed bed, we'll drained;
break in the fall to a depth of $40 or
10 inches, according to the soil, with
implements that will not bring too
much of the subsoil to the surface.
(The foregoing depths should be
reached gradually, if the field is
broken with an ordinary turning pillow
If disk pillow is used, it is safe to
break to the above depths at once.)
(2) Use seed of the best variety,
intelngently selected and carefully
stored.
90 In cultivated crops give the
rows and the plants in the rows a
space suited to the plant, the soil, and
the climate.
ca Use intensive tillage during the
growing period of the crops
CD Secure a high content of humus
in the soil by the use of legumes,
barnyard manure, farm refuse, and
commercial fertilizer.
60 Carry out a systematic crop
rotation with a winter cover crop on
Southern farms.
60 accomplish more Woih III d
day by using more horse power and
better implements.
90 Increase the farm stock to the
extent of utilizing all the waste pro-
ducts and idle lands of the farm.
CO.. Produce all the food required
for the men and animals on the farm
(1O) Keep an account of each farm
product in order to know from which
the gain or loss arises.
