When George S'lephonson was Itsked, " Do you believe In perpetual CBotlon ?" he replied, " Yes, If you lift yourself by the waist-band of the trousers, and carry yourself three times round the room." .

H. Grisdale, Agriculturist, Experimental 'Fuinx, Ottaw.-i. For many ycnrs farmers In East- >rii Ciuuula wore grnin growers mcre- y. Neccssily forced the inception 3f sucii n. sysleiii of siBriciilturc. Ihib- t and ignorunco ])iolongeil tlie prac- '.Ic« of such fanning. The wonder- ful strengtli, aiul .secmiugly inexhaus- tible fertility of the soil made its ong continuance possible. Tho di.s- lovery of liic iiossibilitie.s of tlio .*Iorthwest and the gruduul exhaus- '.k)n of our fields called ;i halt. Hence, for sonic years past change las been in the air. Live stock farming, the system making the smallest demands on soil fertility, i.s rapidly .supplanting grain growing. I'ar't.s of nearly 5Very farm are now umcli better in lonililion timn tlicy were a few vcars ago; and, further, such is na- ture's worderful recuperative power, since the jiarlial cessation of the tre- mendous drain of grain expoi'tation tho average ciop returns for I''astern Canada have gone up very considera- bly, liut, as every farmer knows, even live stock farming long con- tinued means a gradual loss of fer- tility unless con.';iclcrablc food other than tliat produced on t!lie farm is ted to stock and the manure pro- perly cared for and utiiized. This fact lia.s. led to a study of the methods for cheal)ly restoring lost fertility and profitably cultivating soils so tlia't "iniprovecC rather than Inipovorislicd" may be the annual verdict. It is impossible to discuss tho sub- ject e.\luiustively in such an article as this, but one plan of cultivation found to give good rcsidts is where the moudow or p;isfiiie. is plowed in August, the sod being turned to a depth of :',> or 4 inches only. Tm- Diediutely after plowing, if in a dry lime, the land is rolled, then har- rowed with a light harrow. It is then left imtouched until grass and weeds start to grow when it is again harrowed, care being exercised to prevent the sod being disturbed. The liarrowing or cultivating jno- te.ss is continued at intervals (as the weed seeds germinate) until Oc- tober, when by means of a (.'{ plow fang) double mould-board jdow the surface soil to a denWi of about 4 Inches is put Into drills aliout 22 inches opart and H to 3 irclies ligh. This Is found to be a most iatisfactory [irepai-ation of the soil •n- corn, roots or grain. Where A POSITIVE IAN. {IE .SEEMS ABLE TO PROVE THE THUTH OF WHAT HE SAYS. •ttr.

If along with this system of shal- low cultivation a proper rotation is adojited, most e.YcelIent results are sure to follow. As clover is the only crop which, while giving a profitable harvest still serves to enrich rather than to impoverish tho soil, it is c'vident that clover should take a prominent place in August rotations in this country. With this fact in mind, a few rotations suitable for the improving of our l.-inds may bo ollered, as follows: Three-year rotationâ€" (1) grain, (2) cloven hay, (3) pasture. ^ Threo-ycar rotation â€" (1) corn and roots, (2) grain, (3) clover iiay. Four-year rotation â€" (1) corn and roots or peaso, (2) grnin, (3) olover hay, (4) hay or pasture. , Five-year rotation â€" (1) grain with 10 lbs. clover seed to plow down for fertilizers, (2) corn and roots, (3) grain, (1) clover hay, (5) hay or pasture. Six-year rotation â€" Same as five year, but left one year longer in pasture The .reason for surface cultivation and the use of such short rotations as given above is to increase the quantity of and place properly the Ceylon Tea Is the finest Tea the world produceSf and is sold only In lead packeto.

Dead vegetable matter exposed to moisture and warmth soon breaks tlow'n to a form called humus or black earth, the factors above men- tioned. Our prairie and newly- cleared soils contain immense quan- tities of this material. Exposure, to heat and the intermixture of earthy matter serve to waste. Thus, repeated grain cropping with deep plowing provide the conditions best calculated to dissipate this matter most rapidly and most elTectively. The functions of this common, yet easily lost, substance are varied and important. Being, as anyone can linil out for himself, of the nature of a, si)ongc, it retains the moisture in a ilry time, but will allow all su- perlluous water to rapidly and harm- lessly peicolate to the lower soil layers. it holds loo.';e, porous solids to- gether, and so otherwise loose sands become staple and provide a good root hold for plants. It renders dense, iinpeinieable soils open and porous, lieiinitting the free circulation of air and water and allowlug tho weak rootlets to penetrate the crst- wliilo imjienot ruble si)ace in .search of food. In l>rief, it is the chief re- (luirement of good physical condition in our soils. Jt contains' much iilant food, since it is really vegetable matter, and a largo percentage of this food is in available forms. It aids also in tho conversion of tho non-available forms of the elements fertility into available forms. I'liither, it retains near tho surface the dissolved plant food wiiich nnist otherwi.so have sunk into tho sub- soil. The most imjiortant sources of hu- mus on tho average farm are farm- yard maiuirc and crop residues. Up- on the jiroper application or use of these materia is depends the future of Canadian agriculture. Where the supply of humus is limit- ed its location becomes a very im- portant con»i(leration. Now, most of our crops draw the greatest part of tlieir food from the surface soil, for, while some roots of most plants lionetrato to a considerable depth, most roots of all plants are near the surface. Plants of nearly all de- scriptions thrive best where the sur- face soil is mellow and rich in hu- nuis. The great crops produced by newly-cleared fields and prairie lands exomplify this, a.s does also the rank growth of plants in our forests, whore the sub-soil is never stirred, or where the animals niui smaller perennials must depend for their nourishment vipon tho suifnce soil al- most exclusively. It would, thero- foive, seem to bo clear that nvallabio plant food should be, near the svir- fnco of otir Melds and that our s>t*r- faco soil shotild lie in particularly g>)od physical coiulitlon of tilth. How to secure these two require- ments of rapid, rank and desirable plant growth must, therefore, bo the lirst consideration of every would-be successful farmer.

Mr. Hooper, 57 Crosvcnor street, fJolfast, writes :â€" "Having from a cold got a very stiit and painful swollen neck, I tried all tho usual remedies without effect. 1 was al- most giving it up, when a book was placed on my counter describing St. .Jacobs Oil. I procured a bottle, and had scarcely rubbc-d it on my nc-ck when I felt better. In a .short time the pain left me and the swell- ing went down. Finding it so good in this cape, I then tried it on my anlklo, which I had sprained, and which was frocpiently very painful. I soon had the pleasure of finding that pain also disappear.
