IMPORTANCE OF CONSERVING THE FERTILITY OF OUR SOILS. The soil is the one great factoral foundation not only of agriculture but of the nation's welfare, hence it is practically impossible to spend an ex- cess and care on its cultivation and preservation. Therefore any knowledge that results from experience is of the greatest value. A deal of imformation acquired from such experience in Bulletin No. 27, second series, entitled "Soil fertility, its economic main and increase," just issued by the De- partment of Agriculture of which Dr. Frank T. Shutt, the Dominion Chemist, is author, and which can be had free by application to the Publications Branch of the Department at the capital. Dr. Shutt sounds an intensely practical note of warning when he argues that we have been terribly wasteful of plant food and that every effort should be made to maintain and increase the fertility of our soils, and, by more rational methods, endeavor to put a stop to that waste. While the warning is directed to the Northwest, "where farming has been likened to mining," Ontario and Eastern Canada generally are summoned to account. In brief, a change is called for from extensive to intensive farming, the lesson that it is sought to convey being that there is more profit in high tillage and conservation in cultivation than in methods of mere routine. Having gone minutely into the properties, necessary treatment and application of farmyard manures, the doctor supplies a table giving the approximate average composition of manure (fresh) from various animals, describes the manurial value of clover, the component elements and beneficial influence exercised by fertilizers, and refers to the places occupied by wood ashes and seaweed as potassic fertilizer. He goes into the virtues Of gypsum and nitrate of soda as indirect potash fertilizer, concluding in an instructive review of the chief means by which the productiveness of the soli may be increased and preserv- ed, by urging farmers to make greater use of the various means and agencies provided by the governments »-Federal and Provincial—"for the assistance of the man on the land by information, advice and demonstration," "There is no country" be vows, "better pro- vided than Canada in this respect." Regarding manure, two important facts to be remembered are that where it is not at once utilized by being put into the soil, or on to the soil, one third of its initial value is lost, and that the loris is least where the manure Is kept com- pact and protected from rain. 1 THE WINGHAM TIMES low minimmiumuipiwairomsommosiimmemerimimmoul QP TINSEVI& TOIL EARN_ESTL AND VITA SUCCESS WTCCBE SATISFIED ONLY WITH;THE BEST+ tOVER•HAULtTHALCAN.BE MANUFACTURED; Ems` �Ti[n��R EL iiVER-ii1AtJ MGil GRADE, 01,014pAD£.
