Practically turn the countryside into

by this means we would not only re-

tIlc c001111y in our own bands, but
also be able to compete with the
foreign egg merchants abroad. A'
, labyrinth of figures accompanied the

there would be n net profit of $10

500 acres could make a clear $3,00¢

NO MENTION OF RENT
STUDY OI' WEDS.
In the great war against !seeds, it
is of the utmost importance that
farmers become familiar 191111 their
(lietinctivc peculiarities as to habits
of growth and the general appear-
ance of the plants turd their sexed, so
that they may be able to adopt
suitable measure:, for lighting then!.
Like all other plants, Weeels are
classitled according to their length
of life, es annuals, biennials, and
petemninls. Annuals, 05 their name
implies, exhaust. themselves in a
single veasun. They are of two
classes: Winter annuals and summer
annuals, The first named variety
spring up in the 1011 and live over
Winter, pl'odeci1g seed early in the
mutative; while the summer annuals
spring ftp, grow and die during the
same season. ]lienalials, although
existing tufo years, only produce one
crop of seed. During the first year
they devote their energy to the pro-
duction of seed -making materiels,
which are stored up in a fleshy tap-
root. The second year, the plant
develops more fully, matures seed, I
and dies.
Pet•ollnials, like biennials, produce
neither flower nor seed the first
rear. Tinlike biennials, however,
they yield repeated crops during suc-
ceeding seasons. There aro two
classes of this variety of weeds. One
shaving creeping or underground
stools, by which the plant spreads,
and another which has an ordinary
root, but does not multiply by that
means. To this class 1)elong bulb-
ous and taproot perennials. 111-
11110(13411 a knowledge as to whether
the life -history of a weed extends
over one, two or more years may be
of great value when methods of
eradication aro being considered, yet

SOWING CLOVER limo.
The quantity of the seed depends
upon the condition of land, writes
1Cr, A, A, Berry. Where clover is
raised and soil inoculated with clov-
er bacteria., 11111011 loss seed will be
required and the stand is more easi-
ly obtained. Eight to 15 moulds

in his rnlculations. Apart from the
impossibility of devoting so much
land to any one branch of agricul-
ture, the profit of $10 per acre
would absolutely vanish when the
burden of rent, rates, and taxes is
1taken into account,
A ,ouch more practical scheme for
the improvement of agriculture was
devised some years ago by a very
clever farmer, who also published his
ideas in a pamphlet. Briefly, his
notion was to convert the sewerage
matter of the towns into farm
manure, instead of running it off by
drains into tine rfver5. The manure
thus made would be the property of
the State, and sold to the farmers
at a minimums cost, The idea was
distinctly ingenious. Sewerage mat-
ter contains a considerable quantity
of nitrogen, which is one of the
most valuable constituents of the
soil, anti is one of the most expen-
sive components of artificial manure.
If it were possible to adopt the
plan of concerting sewerage matter
into manure, the farmer would be
saved a very considerable expense in.
the purchase of his manure, and
would be able to vastly improve the
growing qualities of his land. 11010 -
over, clever as the idea was, it was
never found to be practicable, one
of the primary objections to it being
the great danger to pulr111c health in-
volved by storing the sewerage mat-
ter.
A SUSSEX FARMER
conceived t110 idea some years ago of
the "rest cure" as applied to laud.
The question of how to restore to
the soil the strength and growing
properties taken out of It 1b'y grow-
ing crops on the land is one that ev-
ery farmer has considered. All arti-
ficial manures are made with the ob-
ject in view of strengthening the
land,but exports differ as to the
best chemicals to employ in the
manufacture of these manures.
This Sussex farmer, however, pro-
posed to do away altogether with.
manures, and renew the strength of
the land by leaving it rd1e for some
time. 130 told his fellow -farmers
that if they could afford to leave
their farms idle for a couple of years
the soil would bo completely reju-
venated, and as fertile as the soil in
America, or the best fields of Aus-
tralia, and British agriculture would
then be able to flourish he spite of
foreign competition,
Me, Acland, W110 WOS one of the
most experienced and able farmers
this country ever produced, •was at
the time melting inquiries on the con-
ditions of farming in Sussex, and
ems 051onnded at such an absurd
idea. In writing on the subject, 11e
said: "Some people in Sussex have
conceived the extraordinary notion
of benefiting the soil by
GIVING- IT A REST,
on the same principle as a medical
loan orders an overworked patient
to take a holiday."
At one time ninny people Wore
firmly convinced that nothing re-
mained for the lirrittsll farmer but to
devote all his energies to the manu-
facture of cheese.' This important
branch of the dairy Industry under-,
went a g'leat change in 1870, when
cheese factories wore first started by
the English fanners,
The idea Was taken from the
Americans, who imported an im-
mense quantity of cheese made in
their factories into this country.
The late Duke of Devonshire tools a
very iceett interest its the subject.,
and '11 was at Derby that the first
cheese factory i11 this country was, -
started. Ilut there is decidedly a1
limit to ' 111e beneflts to be derived
from cheese factories. Many people
