any serious detriment. But only a small,

part of a farm can be well nmnnrd pt time. The crop that is lirstl‘ put .after land is (lunged, takes up,‘

certain kinds of plant food. If the same; or a similar crop be put in the next _vc.'n.5 more of the same kind of plant food is; ub~tructcd, and this cour~e cannot be? long pursued without rendering the land: llt1e1ly incapable of yielding that parti-' cular crop. lint it' nl‘ter lb.- that succeeds a liberal inanlneing, a crop, (11" a totally dilll'rcnt hind be cultivated“. I other descriptions ofplant food are drawn

upon, and the drain upon the soil is lL‘Ss‘ severe. The fundamental fact in regard, toa rotation of crops is, that no inn? plants ol'dill‘crnt kinds require the szlnwl substances ill equal proportion to th. irl r1 mrishment.

however. considered as absolute and literal ill its application. for while the

Norfolk farmer takes his crops in thi l succession: I clnror; 2 wheel; Slut-Hips:

_4 barley; the Lancashire t'armcr with

equal success grows, 1. grass: 2. green

crops; 3 trlu'al; ‘l. Imls or lam-Icy; his

two green crops following one another,

and his two white crops doing the same.

There is, however, in this case a balanc-

ing as it were of two white crops by means of two green crops. It should be? ascttlcd rule that the two exhaustive

crops are never to be grown in succes-

sion, unless the land has become to pos- sess a considerable degree of fertility, so as to bear without injury, such a tax upon its productive energies. The ehict'priuciplcs upon which a rotation of crops is based are these:—

1.A fertile soil contains all the food ,rcquired for tho nourishment of every description of cultivated plants, but wllile tllis is the case, the supply needed by a particular plant- is but limited.

2. Some plants draw their nourishment from near the surface, while others obtain their food from a greater depth.

3. Some plants derive a large propor- tion of their nourishment from the atmosphere, while others depend almost. if not entirely, upon what they cxstract from the soil.

4. Certain crops furnish support to particular insect tribes.

Hence one crop should be followed by another that requires tor its nourishment substances differing as much as possible

from those that havejust been drawn ,

upon. A surface-feeding crop shouldbc followed by one that goes down deeper : for nourishment. its food principally from the soil. should be followed byonc that draws largely - from the atmosphere. A crop should follow its predecessor such as is best eaL culatcd to'cxtcrminatc the insects that .prcyed upon the previous one. It may it: added that by growing a variety of products, the occasional failure of one is , not so keenly felt, it; olace l eing suppli- ed by others. As av. example of the practical application 01' the foregoing principles, we quote a rotation instauccd 'aonlc years ago by Mr. \l'illiam Boa, of St. Laurent, and whi ,1 has been largely u'actirt-d with e. . llent results. 01' course this is but an illustration, and in practice it‘may be de 1artc<l from, and a . different plan based upon the same prin- ciples. Other plans of rotation have been suggested ill "previous numbers at The Unavqu Furnicr' to which reference , ‘may be had for ad itiunal illustration and example.

"Divide the arable portion of the farm, whatever may be its size, into six‘ parts, as equal as possible, with adirect communication from the barn-yard to each ticld, and from one ficbl to the other, so that the cattle may pass from , one to‘flm other when rcqnir i.
