How it Can Be Managed to the Very Beit Advantage. In the usual rotation wheat or rye follows oats. This is an objectionable sequence, because one exhausting crop follows another no less exhausting. It is not generally believed that oats is exhaustive, or, to use the common ex pression, “hard on the land.” But the common belief is not well founded in this respect. An average crop of oats, equal to 50 bushels, or 2,000 pounds of grain and cliatl and two tons of straw, takes from the soil about half tht quan tity of phosphoric acid, about as much potash, ami nearly one-half more nitrogen than a crop of 20 bushels of wheat and 2,000 pounds of straw. This is shown by the following figures: .—Taken from the Soil by—, 20 Huehfte HO RiiKhel» of (tote. of Wheat. Pound». Pound». 38 Potash............................................... 40 15H Phosphoric acid......................... 34 58 Nitrogen........................ 40 q (Straw i* estimated at 2,000 pound* tor each crop.) As nitrogen is the most costly ele ment of the fertility of the soil, it is easily seen that oats is by no means tLe easy crop that it is generally supposed to be, aud that there is every reason to believe that the low average of the wheat and the rye crops may be due to the exhausting of the soil by the pre ceding oats. It is not the purpose just now to suggest any improvement upon this common rotation, but rather to discuss the best means of managing the oat stubble so as to avoid or repair its exhaustive etleets upon the land. This may be done, first, by thorough plow ing of the soil. Usually the stubble is left to grow up with weeds, the pre vailing rag weed chiefly, and to bake and harden for two months under the scorching sun. When the time comes for preparing for the wheat the hard ened soil is broken up with great diffi culty and in a very ineffective manner, the plow barely touching the subsoil and breaking the ground into hard clods. This gives the wheat a very poor chance to resist the winter frosts, and a large portion of it perishes. All this is the result of delay in plowing the oat stubble, which should be broken up as soon as the oats are removed. Then the plow can run as deeply as is desirable, and the harrow following immediately, or the roller if needed, will reduce the soil to a tine and mel low condition. If the manure is plowed in at the same time it has an opportunity to decompose and mingle with the Boil, and a second plowing later will clear up all the weeds, which will have no time to seed, and will fit the land for seeding in the very best manner. Wheat requires a deep, firm, but mel low soil. Its habit of rooting is to semi down a tap root three or four inches below the surface roots, and from this to throw out a mass of fibrous feeders, which give it a firm hold upon the ground. This can only be done ef fectively and usefully under the condi tions described, and these can only be secured in the manner stated, unless by a coincidence of favoring circum stances of weather, which the farmer dare not depend upon, because they are not seasonable and are wholly im probable. There are other reasons why this method of management is in dispensable to success with wheat. The hot summer weather favors very much the rapid nitrification of the organic matter of the soil—the manure and the refuse of the preceding crops and this chemical action tends greatly to assist the solution of the mineral particles, or inorganic matter, from which pot ash. soda, lime, magnesia and phos phoric acid are released by the solu tion of the silica which holds them in a fixed and intangible condition. Of course all this is equivalent to a liberal fertilizing of the land aud is a great help to the crop. August is a good time for undertaking this work, and every farmer who desires to make bis labor most profitable should not neg lect it. It *'as a most important bear ing, too, t,p >n succeeding crops, for ns the grass and clover follows wheat the success of this seeding is assured with that of the main crop, and this is equivalent to the better conditions of the others through the whole rotation. -A".
