(nitrogen) for animals. The legum-
inous crop is best utilized when it is
fed out on the farm and the manure
saved and applied to the . soil. The
greatest profit is thus secured and
nearly the same fertility is main-
tained as in green manuring.
5. For renovating worn or barren
soils, and for sixaintainfrig the fertil-
ity where the barnyard manure is not
properly cared for, green manuring
with such leguminous cro Ss as 'cow -
pea, clovers and lupines - is recon-
mended. A dressing of potash and.
phosphates will usually be sufficient
for the green manuring crop.
6. The practice of green manuring
on medium and better classes of soda
is irrational and wasteful. 'rhe farm-
er should melted his system so that
the barnyard manure will be aS well
cared for as any other farm product.
Loss from surface washing,' leachitij;,
fermentation, and decay should be
guarded against. Then the feediog
of richer food will mean richer
manure and better and cheaper crops.
7. Tile system of soiling. oh feed-
ing green crops in the barn in place:

ber of animals to be kept on a givenl:
area of land, andthe manure to be s .
more completely -saved. For this -
purpose ..leguminous crops are ex-
tremely valuable.
8. Hay from leguminous craps is
about twice as rich in protein as hay
from grasses.. In the ono- case this
protein (nitrogen) is obtained very:
largely from the atmosphere; in the
other it is all drawnfrom the fertil-
ity of the soil. Leguminous crops -
yield larger crops of hay to the acre
than grasses: rlencc the production
