The principle of rotation of coon l• certainly founded on both wiener and Practice. The farmer has found tune and again that %tory trw crops there are that will yield well when mown upon the same piece of ground for many con- necutlt'r seasons, and the reason is very evident. One crop is rspeclaliY exhaustive of one element of plant toad. another of another, and so on. Furthermore, suer plants root deeply others In a shallow way. Hence the farmer can feted upon the lower lay- ers of the moil and acquire nutriment that would be entirely out of the reach of the latter. Then some crops of the nature of legumes, such Ise clover, peas and beans, have a happy faculty of storing up nitrogen In the sult. kali- Int 11 rlcher than It was when they found It. So tkeso legumes should by all means form part of ,-aery scien- tific rotation. Indeed It Is by wise ro- tation that the farrier feeds his carious &Ups Plat the Sallie as If he applied manure directly. Fertilisers are coolly affairs, and all fertility must he r.arr- rutty conserved. What a Pity it Is that farmers on the rich vermin soli of the far writ have taut learned as yet the vital principle of rotation. They will Ultimately be forted to recognize It. for no soil, however good, can stand eud- lesa cropping with a single kind of crop. There Is surely a time coming under such improvident nianagrnie nt when this rich soil will be come as bad- ly exhausted as the older soils of the 'past. But why watt to be forced to do a thing' Why not have the moll now by rotation and manuring' 1t will be found much easier to maintain a go..d soil than to restore it atter Im- po%eriabment.-Agrlcultutal Epltomlat. *Inger.

Large Needs Are the hest. The question of the influence of the size of seeds upon germination and upon the Nese of the plant that springs therefrom has been recently studied anew by Mr. B. R. Galloway, a sum- mary of whose conclusions IS siva n by the Gardener's Chronicle. The weight and size of the seed are of great Im- portance. A large seed germinates better and more quickly and with It one can count upon haying , at the same moment from SS to IW per cent. of the total crop, w'hllw with small seeds the Drop reaches maturity only In suocetmlve periods of time, so that at no moment In gathering the crop In could we have the same proportion 4,1 the whole. Besides, where with small seeds suc''essive crops are obtained, we have six with larger seeds, their evo- lution oceurring with greater rapidity. Th. Small Coat of %prayllig.

In using the Rordeaux mix- ture they sprayed the trees sln times, and reckoned In the cwt of materials and cost of labor, and found It to De two cents per tree tor the reason. The result was that the rot was reduced to one-third whit It was on the un- sprayed trees.
