During' haying and before grain harvest, there aro many daps after showers, when the teams can bo profitably put at ploughing the ol'd meadow. Deep ploughing is not necessary nor need the furrows be set up with a narrow Plough. Rapid work at this time Of Year is essential. A two -furrow plough, with three horses, will tarp over a large piece of land in a day'. At the close of each day the area ploughed that day should be rolled, This breaks the lumps, presses down the furrows, re-establishes connection between .the surface soil and the sub- soil, bringing up the moisture 'rein the latter ,to aid in rotting the sod. After rolling, fisting and harrowing should not "bo delayed. With such cultivation one retains a surface mulch, opens, u pets, aerates and (Ines the soil and destroys many bad types of noxious weeds anti with the co op- eration of the summer sun this work is most effective. With the present Scarcity of labour, this is the cheap- est and most practicable method of weed destruction and soil prepara- tion for grain or evert for hoed crops. After the sod is decayed, a rigid or spring -tooth cultivator with wide points should he kept going at inter- vals until autumn. Then the land should be thoroughly, ploughed, as deep as the humus or plant food in the soil will allow. On the Dominion Illustration Stations, some results have been obtained in comparing the summer cultivation of sod land with fall ploughing the same, which indicate very clearly the benefit de- rived from summer cultivation . as outlined above. In additfton to the greater yield obtained, it should be remembered that the land is thereby put into much cleaner condition for subsequent crops, Two fields of four acres each were taken ; 'the first field was ploughed after harvest, was cultivated occasionally during, the summer and autumn and ploughed in the autumn ; the other field of four acres was left in sod and also plough- ed in the autumn. The oats from the summer -cultivated field gave a yield of fifteen bushels -more per acre than the field ploughed in the autumn. This difference of sixty bushels on the four -acre field at fifty, cents a bushel shows a total gainof$30.00, Counting the cost of, summer cul- tivating at $4.00 per acre, a total cost of $10.00 for the 4 acres, an in- crease in net profit of $14.00. or $1.50 per acre was obtained. The soil on the cultivated field being in a much finer condition and almost free from weeds, the difference in the profits from the two fields, if work- ed alike, should be almost as great the following season. Roots. -28 rows of sugar beets grown on summer -cultivated land produced 1.OJ tons, while 36 rows of the same length grown on land sim- ply spring ploughed only produced 9 tons, a difference of 3,733 pounds. The price paid at the factory being $5.63 'per ton, a gain of $10,03 per acre was shown in favour of the af- ter -harvest cultivation. Goderich Mrs. L. H.
