Grisdale, Agriculturist,. Experimental Farm, Ottawa. ' For many years farmers in East- inn Canada were grain growers mere; y. Necessity forced the inception of such‘a system of agriculture. I-Iab: .t and ignorance prolonged the pracf lice of such farming. The wonder- lul strength, and seemingly inexhaus- tible fertility of the soil made its ‘ong continuance possible. The dis- :overy of the possibilities of the Northwest ‘ and the gradual exhausâ€" tion of our fields called a halt. Hence, for some years past change nas been in". the air. Live stock farming, the system making the smallest demands on soil fertility, is rapidly supplanting grain growing. Parts of nearly every farm are now much better in Condition than they were a few years ago; and, further, such is na- ture’s wonderful recuperative power, since the partial cessation of the tre- mendous drain of grain exportation the average crop returns for Eastern Canada have gone up very considera- bly. But, as every farmer knows, even live stock farming long con- tinued means a gradual loss of ferâ€" tility unless considerable food other than that produced on the farm is fed to stock and the manure pro- perly cared for and utilized. This fact has led to a study of the methods for cheaply restoring lost fertility and profitably cultivating soils so that “improved, rather than impoverished” may be the annual verdict. It is impossible to discuss the sub- ject exhaustiver in such an article as this, but one plan of cultivation found to give good results is where the meadow or pasture is plowed in August, the so'd‘being turned to a depth of 3% or 4: inches only. Im- mediately after plowing, if in a dry time; the land is rolled, then- har- rowed with a light barrow. It is then left untouched until grass and- weeds start to grow when it is again harrowed, care being exercised to prevent the sod being disturbed. I‘he harrowing or cultivating proâ€" cess is continued at intervals (as the Weed seeds germinate) until Oc- tober, when by means of a (8 plow gang) double mouldâ€"board plow the surface soil to a. depth of about 4 inches is put into drills about 22 inches apart and 8 to 10 inches high. This is found to be a most iatisfactory preparation of the soil "*r corn, roots or grain. Where i Poseâ€"Iii Milli. PIE WSEEMS ABLE TO PROVE THE TRUTH 0F VJHAT HE SAYS. » .VIr. Chalker Makes Some Very Strong Statements â€"â€" Explains That He is Prepared to Prove the Truth of Every Assertion He Makes. Housey’s Rapids, Ont., Sept. 22.â€" (Special)â€"Mr. George C. Chalker, a well known resident of this place, has authorized the publication of a letter containing some very startling statements. Those who know Mr. Chalker will not ask any proof of the truth of any statement he makes, but to con- vince those who do not know him, he has announced that he is pre- pared to substantiate in every dc- tail, the truth of his published statement, which is as follows :â€" “lt is with pleasure that I certify to the merits of Dodd’s Kidney Pills. "I was laid up with Kidney Trou- ble and Was so bad that I could not do a day’s work. My back was very sore, I had heavy aching arms, 'duli bloated eyes. I was very weak and much reduced in weight. “After I had used six boxes 0! Dodd’s Kidney Pills I ‘was ten pounds heavier. I often wonder about the powerful virtue of this medicine. I do not know anything about what Dodd's Kidney Pills are said to cure but I know a grout deal about what they will actually do for Lame Back and Kidney Trouble, and I can prove it. “They are worth their weight in gold to any one suffering as I suffer- ed. The six box-es of Dodd’s Kidney Pills cured me completely and there has been no return of my old trouble. That is over three-years ago, and I still enjoy good health." This, is, indeed, a, very strong tes- timonial for Dodd’s Kidney Pills and one which will have very great weight with all who have the plea- sure of Mr. Chalker's acquaintance or friendship. Ilodd’s Kidney Pills have made many friends and are to-day, with- out doubt. the must popular family .xiedi-t-JucL grainl is sown, the soil is ready for seeding at a considerably earlier date than where late fall plowing is practised. If along with this system of shal- low cultivation a. proper rotation is adopted, most excellent 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 the soil, it" is evident 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 lands may be offered, as folIOWS: Three-year rotationâ€"(1) grain, (2) clover hay, (3) pasture. Threeâ€"year rotation â€"- (1) corn and roots, (2) grain, (3) clover hay. Four-year rotation â€" (1) corn and roots or pease, (2) grain, (3) clover hay, (4) hay or pasture. Five-year rotation â€"- (1) grain with 10 lbs. clover seed to plow .glowu for fertilizers, (2) corn and roots, (3,) grain, (4:) 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 quantity the of and place properly the Ceylon Tea Is the finest Tea the world produces, and is sold only in lead packets.

Dead vegetable matter exposed to moisture and warmth soon breaks down to a. form called humus or black earth, the factors above men- tioned. Our prairie and newly- cleare'd soils contain immense quanâ€" 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 effectively. The functions of this common, yet easily lost, substance are varied and important. Being,‘ as anyone can find out for himself, of the nature of a sponge, it retains the moisture in a dry time, but will allow all su- perfluous water to rapidly and harmâ€" lessly percolate to the lower soil layers. It holds loose, porous solids to- gether, and so otherwise loose sands become staple and provide a good ' root hold for plants. It renders dense, impermeable soils open and porous, permitting the free circulation of air and water and allowing the weak rootlets to penetrate the erst- while impenetrable space in search of food. In brief, it is the chief re- quirement of good physical condition in our soils. food, since it is really vegetable matter, and a large percentage of this food is in available forms. It aids also in the conversion of the nonâ€"available forms of the elements of fertility into available forms. Further, it retains near the surface the dissolved plant food which must otherwise have sunk into the subâ€" soil. The most important sources of hu- mus on the average farm are farm- yard manure and crop residues. Upâ€" on the proper ’application or use of these materials depends the future of Canadian agriculture. Where the supply of humus is limit- ed its location becomes a very im- portant consideration. Now, most of our crops draw the greatest part of their food from the surface soil, for, while some roots of most plants penetrate to a considerable depth, most roots of all plants are near the surface. Plants of nearly all do- scriptions thrive best where the sur- face soil is mellow and rich in hu- mus. The great crops produced by newlyâ€"cleared fields and prairie lands eXemplify this, as does also the rank growth of plants in our forests, making for soil fertil- where the subâ€"soil is never stirred, or where the annuals and smaller perennials must depend for their nourishment upon the surface soil al- most exclusively. It would, there- fore, seem to be clear that available plant food should be near the sur- face of our fields and that our sur- face soil should be in particularly good physical condition of tilth. How to secure these two require- ments of rapid, rank and desirable plant growth must, therefore, be the first consideration of every wouldâ€"be successful farmer. _ Experiment and long practice seem to prove that shallow cultivation and some rotaâ€" tion, more especially the three-year or the four-year in dry districts, and the five-year in rainy districts, are most serviceable in increasing the humus in the surface soil, and so “improving the physical condition”; which means “increasing the pro- ductivity" of our fields. ,____ Ask for Minard’s and take no other.
