tint fallowing adds 4o fertility to the
soil, but in wet seasons lessens it, will
be a surprise to many farmers,
The Professor hopes the; farinerg.
of Ontario wilt give their serious at*
tention to the reduction of this form
of outlay to the lowest possible limit,.
Re asserts thatour farms can be kept
clean without resorting to the bare
fallow, pure and simple. The Model
Farm, he- says, is being cleaned in
three years throughout its whsle ex-

withoutmissing a single crop, In
fact, two crops a year are often got

This large` sum, he considers, is
pretty nnuch thrown away. • Itis being
expended needlessly. He does not
quite take the ground that summer
following is always unneoessary,,but
he thinks the 'bare fallow, pure and

If summer fallowing is avers practiced
it should be in the way/ f growing
some kind of a crop, (o be plowed
under for soil enrichment, and to
benefit the soil in other ways. He
thinks it may be well to summer fallow

crops cannot easily be grown. 'It may

remaihs on the surface and is virtually

escape drowning it is only necessary
iso do as the brute does,`and that is to
tread or' walk the water,. The brute
has no advantage in regard of its rola-
tive weight in respect of water over
man, and yet the man perishes while
the brute lives. Nevertheless, any
man, any Wow an, any child, who can
walk on 'thee land may also walk on
the water, just as readily as.the animal

water, they might be able to practice
it in case of accident.
