A Six Ye*r Rotation.
n
p. W. Brawley, Mooresville,
O., asks a criticNtn of the follow
ing six year rotation, corn, smal
grain, red clover, wjieak cottoi
cotton. I'eas to*l)e sown in cor
at last working, and fhe cor
stubble and pea vines turned fc
the grain and clever. Then n
soon as the grain crop is oil' mule
the cloVer if possible. Next yea
cut the clover and pasture elos
till August, and then turn an
prepare for wheat, on which us
fertilizers. Sow peas on the lan<
well fertilized, after the wheat
cut, to be mown for hay. Folio
with cotton, and repeat the cottc
the following year, and at la
working that vear sow crimen
q Mr among the cotton. (J
Mu haul iliirim* the \Vint?r a
manure made for the coi
crop the foliowing year. Shoul
nee about 200 pounds of fertilizt
the first year&on corn and pea
not less than 400 poundfi on sina
grain and red clover, .'100 pounc
on wheat after clover, and *
least 400 pounds of the peas fo
lowing wheat, and from 100 t
400 pounds on the cotton crop
This is a fairly good rotation, hi
a longer one than is good foryoi
You can bring up the land fast?
in a shorter rotation, and do
with far less ?.f the commerci;
fertilizers than you propose t
use. True farming i< the get tin
of increasing crops at the lowe>
margin of cost while keeping tli
land improving in capacity fr
reproduction. If you turn crin
son clover aim all the manor
made from the feeding of tli
clover and peavme hay and th
corn fodder, there is no need f<
the 200 pounds of fertilizer. An
if the forage is fed properly th
manure should soon he enough :
cover the corn field 1111 a tnod<

IS
j i a ten-acre-lot of clay land that I
1 1 wish to get in clover but it does!
i not do well with another crop.
U 1 I
j i Hence 1 propose to get the land j
in good order and drill clover in:
j ! the Spring without any grain

is
he sown per acre ? Have been j
advised bv a fertilizer (irtn to use|
in 4 ,
500 pounds of a fertilizer contain- i
ing 0 per c.-nt. available phos(
phoric acid and 11 per cent, pot?
ash. Do you think that suitable? i
When and how would be the very
" best way to apply the fertilizer?"
In the lirst place we do not bei
; lievo that any one has anv such
II j mixture as a fertilizer with hut
I J 0 per cent, phosphoric acid and
! 11 per cent, potash. Fertilizer
I men usually put it far more the
other way, and in fact the percentage
of phosphoric acid should he
^ j as high, or a little higher than
I that of the potash. Fourteen per
* I cent, of potash is too much for
. jany crop. The best fertilizer will
.'he a mixture of 1,000 pounds of
acid phosphate and 100 pounds of
j muriate of potash to make a ton.!
~ I This will give you 10 per cent, ol j
potash, which is the greatest'
'abundance, and a little over 10
j per cent, of phosphoric acid, pro-}
I vided the acid account is not less
I than 10 per cent. < )f this mixture |

Road Dust in Hen Manure.
The ?ubjeot of the proper keepins
and use of hen manure is
always a timely one for the Gardner.
One of my friends asks me
about the value of road dust for
use in the hen house, especially
under the roosts. Some wouldauthoritv
recently warned against
the use of this material for any
such purpose, claiming that if!
would rather aid in, than hinder.'
the escape of ammonia. 1 was!
curious to know what Dr. Van
Sly he, the chemist of the NewYork
State Experiment Station |
hrd to say about this. He writes
me that "lioad dust undoubtedly j
has absorbent properties. Its absorbent
power for gases, like ammonia,
would undoubtedly be mi- i
creased by the presen-ro of some 1
moisture." INow, 1 am well aware j
that l)r Van Slyke is no poultry
man. Neither had the other
man (of pretended authority )any
practical knowledge of the farmer's
needs in such cases. The
trouble m our poultry houses,
where the accumulations are not
taken out every day, is that there
is too much moisture rather than,
not enough. Where wt use no
dry absorbents the stulV is in j
clined to become soggy, and bake
together in chunks, and then we
have trouble in getiing this strong '
manure again finely divided and
well incorporated with the soil.
All dilliculty is avoided when we
use road dust, or other dry absor- .
bent, freely on the lloor and 11:1 ;
der the rousts. The moisture in;
the droppings is taken up; thei
droppings themselves well mixed
with ttie dry absorbent, and tliej
result a mass of moist (but not;
wet) compost that can be nicely j
<iiivi rvrm v ppienti uv rr wit*
ground, ai.d *?\ 111 get mixed all 1
through, ami give us tin* best *
results in vegatable.s of anv ma 1
i
nuro we can use. My tilan is to i
put the road dust over the hen house
lloor to the depth of six!
inches, more or less with dry
leaves on top, and then leave this 1
material for the liens to scratch
in, almost all Winter. Some of j
the dry stull is thrown under the j
roosts and removed again with *
the droppings from time to time,
to he either directly applied to \{
the land, or put in a heap under J
some shed until Spring.
