The texture must be tumor, ed in or- der to lucrease fertility and plant food and humus added. Tillage goes a break way toward Improving texture, but this alone Is not enough Humus must be added, and in doing so plant food is added, making the soil more permeable to air and water. Humus Is supplied to the Roll, fiat: by the addition of stable manure, and. tF : Is probably the best method, call- ing for more forage crops and more stuck; second, by planting crops fur tlse purpose of turnlug them under (plowing under green crops is called green manuring[; third. _by growing clover and timothy, which arc usually lett dowu for several years, during wblcb time their roots thoroughly pen- etrate the soil. Old routs decay and new roots grow. Atter the sod 1s plowed up considerable vegetable mat- ter is turned uuder. With the muss of nrots lo the soil, this adds coosider- able humus. The advantage from the cultivation of clovers and alfalfa is found In the fact that they are deep rooted pi ',Its, and wbeu their roots decay they have cbu + deej; into the earth. thus aiding w the at -erp- tion of rains and letting in air to sweeteu the soil. Probably tbe most rapid way to build up a wornoat soil when barn- yard manure is not pleutiful is to give it a course of treatment such as dewcribed. then grow only forage crop!, buy grain to feed with them and return all the manure -thus pro- duced to tbe land. Dairy farming permits such a system to be followed, and no other type of farming builds up land so quickly. Professor W. J. Bptlltnan, agricul- turist, In charge of farm management investigations, United Stites bureau of plant industry, says another type that gives gbink results is M grow a succession of pasture crops for hogs, keep the bogs on these pasturee and feed tbem a fourth to a half ration of grain. In middle latitudes the fol- lowing system Is adapted to this type of farming: Grow corn enough for the MP on part of the farm. sowing etcher cowpeaa or crimson clover or rye,in the corn yearly to keep up fer- tilitd The two latter crops furnish winter pasture for the pigs.
