System of Rotation on Grain Farms.
What is the most profitable gener
al system of farming for those who
have say from 80 to 200 or more acres
of grain land ; and who, remote from
city markets, are limited to cereals
and grazing'! Satisfactory results
during the last twelve years, or more
have led to the opinion that a six ,
years' rotation, three years in clover !
grazing and three years ingrain, a!
gran crop each year is the most prof- [
itable.
If you have timothy meadow enough |
for hay, bring more than one-third,
if you have not, bring about one-third J
of your grain land into the condition
of having been grazed three years ;
the residue of your grain land being
devoted to clover grazing or hay, or
in process of preparation therefor.
The three years grazing will give you
a heavy and rich soil. If clayey,
plow at the proper time in the fall;
if friable, in the spring. The land
is too rich for fallow and winter wheat.
Let the first years' crop be corn, beans
potatoes, roots, sorgo, broom or broad
cast corn; according to the labor at
command and the probable profit.
The third years' crop siould be
winter wheat or barley, that the land
be seeded not less than ten
pounds of clover seed per acre, ap
plying timothy seed in the fall, and
only on the low and wet spots, apply
ing plaster early in the spring.
The second years' crop, like the i
first, is flexible*'and may be adapted |
to profit, or to the convenience or ne- J
cessitics ofjwinteiing stock. It may j
be corn, if preceded by beans, nnd
followed with wheat or winter barley.
It may be spring barley, peas or oats
or beans if preceded by corn. It
may be winter barley followed by
wheat, or the reverse. Much as the
practice of two successive crops of
wheat or barley is deprecated, in one
and the only instance of trying it,
the second crop was 25 bushe's of;
wheat per acre, while the first was
only 1" bushels. I seldom' sow win-'
ter grain after corn, because of the
labor involved, occasionally reserving |
corn enough for the second year, or I
substituting peas. A crop of beans t
or peas is desirable in the rotation, |
as not materially diminishing the yield j
of cereals.
NATI HAL LAWS FAVORING TTIISSUSTEM j
First: In addition to the fertility |
induced by grazing, three years will]
produce a heavy and rich soil, of un-1
appreciated value, which is the cheap-'
o.st and most essential basis of fcrtil- j
ity. This is a very important point.
Second ; Three years is assumed j
ns the longest period of rest that |
economy will warrant for lands adap- !
ted to grain. Two years may be |
equivalent if tho land is assisted by I
surface manures applied in connec-1
tion with tho grass. During these
three years it is claimrd that the par-!
tides of the soil assume new condi
tions, becoming, upon cultivation,
fine, and more friable, and retaining
these qualities during the three years
of cropping. However well manur
ed, the particles of most garden soils
that are constantly hoed, will be
found to vary from tho size of wheat
to acorns. Seed to clover two or
three years, and the aoove results
follow. Old pioneers remember
that new land was cultivated with
little or no grass, and remained mel
low from fifteen to twenty-five years,
but finally became gritty and heavy.
It is claimed that the benefit of
giving land rest has not received due
attention.
SOME OK THE ADVANTAGES OF THIS
SYSTEM.
You do n<it commit the sin of stop
ping grass from growing and trying
to get something out of land when
there is nothing in it.
Ed land if well seeded will attain a
remunerative fertility, and persist
ance in the system will improve the
land, and enable you, at tho smallest
cost, to carry all the stock, and raise
all the grain, that the land is capable
of. Your land, whether opened or
closed, is doing its utmost in the pro
duction of grain or grass, and no
time is lost. There is economy of
money and labor in seeding but once
in six years, and you can afford to do
it thoroughly. The third years' crop
is not apt to lodge, and the seed takes
well, —at least 1 livve not failed in li
single instance. Imperfect seeding
aiul ceaseless tillage are the bone of
American, agriculture, and are an
incalculable logs to the country. Your
manure whether coaurs'e or fine, may
be applied on the surface at the most
proper time, when the grass is short.
Your breaking up is done in the fall
or spring, when the land is in a prop
er condition of moisture, and the sod
can be we'l covered in.. Subsequent
tillage is after harvest, when the land
even if dry, is not hard to plow.
SOME DISADVAKTANES OF THIS SYS
TEM.
It is essential to be efficient in
teams and labor from harvest time to
the close of aeeding, whether this be
a disadvantage, judge ye ? A fallow
rnayjbe thought necessary to eradi
cate noxious weeds. I have found
that a crop of winter barley is reap
ed at a good time to check Canada
thistles, and that two deep and cloae
plowings in preparation for the third
crop has used them up, except on the
back furrows. This is tJbe only in
stance in which I have plowed stub
ble twice. I think it will pay.
Where quack grass infests land, the
second year and after the hoed crop
is a good time to give it a very thor
ough fallowing to be followed by win
ter grain for the third years' crop.
It may be deemed a disadvantage to
the system that some suspension of
rasing crops is necessary to get fair
ly entered upon it.
I might say much from experience
of the profitableness of this system,
of the regularity and uniformity of
its processess and proceeds, but desi
ring brevity, have omited many de
tails.
Doubtles many persons have pur
sued a system very like this, yet it
may be useful to present it, and
should you publish this article, I in
vite your free criticism for the bene
fit of your readers. Under the debt
entailed upon us by this war, it is of
tlw first importance that American
farmers should make the most of their
means. To create and economize
wealth is patriotism, is merit.—Gcu.
Farmer.
A GALLANT FEMALE SOLDIER.—I)r.
Mary E. Walker, who is well known to
many of our citizens, writes us from Chat
tanooga an account of a singular case of
female martial spirit and patriotic -devo
tion to the flag. Frances Hook's parents
died when she was only three years old
and left her, with a brother, in .Chicago,
Illinois. Soon after the war commenc
ed, she and her brother enlisted in the
65th "Home Guards," Frances assuming
the name or "Frank Miller." She serv
ed three months and was mustered out,
without the slightest suspicion of her sex
having arisen. She then enlisted in the
60th Illinois, and was taken prisouer in a
battle near Chattanooga. She attempted
to escape, and was shot through the calf
of one of her limbs, while said limbs were
doing their duty in the attempt. The
rebels searched her person for papers, an I
discovered her sex. The rascals respect
ed her as a woman, and gave her a sepa
rate room, while in prison at Atlanta, Ga.
During her captivity she received a letter
from Jeff. Davis, offering her a lieuten
ants commission if she would enlist in
their army. She had no home and no
relatives, hut she said she pseferred to
fight as a private soldier for the stars and
stripes rather than be honored with a
commission from the rebels. About ten
months ago she was exchanged. The in
surgents tried to extort from her a prom
ise that she would go home, and not en
ter the service again.
•' Go home!" she said, "My only broth
er was killed at Pittsburg Landing, and
I have no home, or any friends!"
Dr. Walker describes Frank as of about
medium heighth, with dark hazel eyes,
dark brown hair, rounded features and
feminine voice and appearance. Dr W.
is well versed in human nature, as well as
anatomy, and she believes that justice to
the young woman in question requires
that she should be commissioned a lieu
tenant in the army. The doctor aiso ar
gues that Congress shouki assign women
1° duty in the army, with compensation
as well as colored men, averting that pa
triotism has no sex. Whether the Presi
dent will commission Miss Hook as a lieu
tenant, or Congress will draft Mrs, Walk
er's couqtry-womcn into the service we
know not, but we are certain that the
"Doctor" is thoroughly in earnest, and
that the story of her now protege is an in
teresting one.
