ROTATION.
"Why is rotation necessary ?" This is a
frequent inquiry with practical men. Sup
posing a crop carries off a certain specified
amount of inoiganic substances from the foil,
each of which is indispcnstble to its develop
ment. it follows, as a matter of course that
the cultivation of that crop, for several con
secutive years, wiil abstract so far from the
supply in the soil as ultimately to deprive it
of the powei of producing it. But all crops
do not exhaust the soil of the same special
substances, and hence if we cultivate Indian
corn for a couple of years in succession, on
one field, and then potatoes, turnips, peas,
beans; or carrots, wc shall find that the latter
are by no means stunted from any lack of
nutriment—each finding its appropriate ali
ment, and in sufficient quantities to insure its
healthy growth and maturation. There are
many otganic substances in the soil which
the corn plant does not specially require or
appropriate, and which are consequently not
exhausted by its cultivation, while each of
them are essential to the growth of some oth
er vegetable. Ilence it is that when these
are grown alternately, the productive powers
of the soil are not so riyiidly exhausted, and
fertility is kept up by a sort of recuperative
process ; the organic element necessary for
the development ol one crop having time to
accumulate while the soil is occupied by an
other crop by which they are not required.
In many sections of the country the Indian
com crop is one of prime importance, conse
quently it is frequently cultivated for two,
three, and even four years in succession on
the same field ; but I have obsetved, when
ever this practice has bten injudiciously
adopted, that afte-r the third season, general
ly after the second,there is an obvious falling
off, even when liberal maauring is adopted.—
Very few farmers, therefore, who consult
their own interests, and who have had the
benefit of experience and observation, are
found to favor it either in theory or practice
By adopting a judicious system of rotation
and adhering rigidly to it, with the assist
tance of copious manuring—returning to the
soil more, if possible, than the crops carry off
any land may be restored in a condition of
bigh fertility ; while by an opposite course,it
will as certainly be exhausted and "run
out."
It is a principle with ine never to attempt
the cultivation of a crop which I cannot af
ford to manure well, and this should be the
policy of every farmer. ' Oue hal better run
in debt for manure than exhaust his his soil
by cropping without it, or, perhaps, had bet
ter suffer his laud to rest until manure can
be made. Cermuntown Tel,
WINTER APPLES For late keeping, it is
best to store apples in cool, dry cellars,laying
the barrels on tin ii sides. They need not be
brought into the cellar until the approach of
freezing weather ; it is best in fact, to pile
them undei cover in a more airy situation.—
Dryness, and a low,even temperature are the
chief requisites to long keeping.
HEALTH OF COWS,
Good health in domestic animals, is always
a matter of primary importance.
As bad health in parents, ttansmit3 a ten
dency to disease in the offsprng, it is impor
tant that every kind of animals we desire to
continue on our farms should be kept vigor
ous and healthy.
As domestic animals are a source of human
food, it is of great importance to preserve
them in a healthy condition. Diseased u.eat
carries its qualities into the stomach of its
consumers. It is a serious objection which
vegetarians urge agatnst the use of animal
food, that the artificial circumstances in which
animals live, and the bad treatment they re
ceive, render thein unhealthy. As an unhcal
thj animal does not c .nsume food to as good
advantage as a well one, it is economical to
avoid disease.
As comparative misery and discomfort ac
company disease, it is humane as well as
economical, to see that the animals under our
care enjoy as far as posaible their creature
comforts.
Each of these circumstances is a sufficient
reason for guarding with scrupulous care, the
health of the animals wc feed ; but when we
derive milk from animals, it is doubly impor
tant that they are kept free from every objec
tionable taint. A sickly cow not only
yields a diminished profit, but sho yields a
sickly milk, and sickly in a higher dtgrae
than her flesh.
If a cow eats anything that has a strong
or disagreeable odor, it appears in her milk.
If a cow cats anything medicinal it comes
out in her milk.
If she is feverish her milk shows it.
If she has sores about her, pus may be
found in her milk.
If sho is fed upon decayed or diseased food,
ber milk since it is derived from ber food,will
be imperfect. It is as impossible to make
good milk from bad food, as to make a good
building from rolton timber.
CORE FOR CORNS. —The following recipe
Is vouched for as a sure cure for corns :
"Put the feet for half an hour, two or three
successive nights, in a strong solution of soda.
The alkali dissolves the indurated cuticle,and
the corns fall out spontaneously ; leaving a
email cavity, which 60on fills." An exchange
says, "We know the above remedy forcorns
to be effectual. We have tried it, and found
it acts like a magic. But we do not think a
strong solution is desirable. We know of a
friend who tried the remedy on our recom
mendation,but be made the solution so strong
that, with the corns, it took off a portion of
the skin on the foot. From one or two table
spoonfuls of B<>da in a small foot-tub of hot
water is sufficient to remove the corns, by
letting the afflicted membrane remain in it
tea or fifteen minutea."
