ploughing practices vary greatly in dif ferent parts of the country in order to get some comparative information on the different practices experiments have been carried out at the experimental station at lennoxville que for a number of years on different depths and times of ploughing on an average over a period of nine years ploughing four inches deep for a rotation of com oats clover andtlmothy has given higher yields than has plough ing seven inches deep except in the case vaf oats in which the yields fcawe been practically the same the shallow ploughing is of particular advantage to the com crop in the preparation of sod land for grain it has been found that ploughing in july as soon as the hay is off and topworking during the summer has not only given higher yields of oatsbut has also left the land free from couch grass the experiment baa shown that on sandy loam son it does not pay to either rib the land or replough in the fall on heavy clay soil ribbing- or reploughlng lateifi the falllgives the frost a chance to mellow the soil and leave it in a better state- of tilth in the preparation of sod land for corn enanurtni on the sod and spring plough ing has given higher yields than manur ing and fall ploughing f it would therefore appear that for t corn on sandy loam the land should be manured and spring ploughed four inches deep while for grain it
