He took for his subject "Soil Fertility and How to maintain it,' His remarks were very clear and many good pointe were touched • on. Pint operating of the components parts of the soil necessary for growth, he next took up the question of how to retain the. Cultivation was the Stet vital erincepal in keeping. up the qualities of food- neture, Keep the soil open and porous, good under drainage and the soil well worked. Shallow cultivation was be- ing overdone, at the eacrifice of crops. It is all right in some conditions of land which has it goca natural drainage and loose soil, but land that has shard, packed; sub Boil, wants deep cultivation. In fact he thought a man very unwise to adopt a kose cultivation when he had been in the habit of doing,it deeply, and on tee whale he advised deep. The potash hi [let free and the.humuEs is not wasted by se do- ing, end ()rope will stand the drouth better. He also advised not railing the land after seediog, except maybe in the mem of fine seed sowing in stormy weather, Gram seed 'should be sown ahead of the drill. A great Enietaile was raade by farmers in imagining a greater growth was got out of their lands by excessive fallowing. In Ouch meg the nitrogen is driven out of the land by fermentation, which meant seri• ous lose to the lana.

He thought °lover roots plowed down theefiret fall lifter sowing was a good idea, thereby •placifig back in the soil the percentage of lend food loosed in the feeding to stook of the products "of the farm,. In mantra we hikd everything tuteessary to keep up out land, but the land gradually heCatte poorer to the amount which was coesnmed ia building up your stook. The speaker also felt that the velars of weed abhors was nht &ppm- ciatee by the tomer, He would buy arti- ficial Menotti near as good he his wood ashes, bra the latter 'stuff Warr 'really worth about 20c a lb to his land.
