ALTERNATION OF CROPS.
Alternation of crop, is unquestionably
one of lliu best and most economical means
of preserving ferttlil), and of increasing the
profits of llie farm. All crops exhausts
thu soil more or leas, of the general ele-incuts
of fertility, though all do nol ex-haust
10 the same exit nt, nor do all ex-haust
11 alike of certain specific properties..
It 1, believed that every lamil) of plants
icquire a specific food, which other fami-lies
de nol stand ill need of, and which they
do not lakt u/>. This is evidenced by thu
I i.t, lhal wheat cannot be grown profitably,
111 ordinary grounds, in two successive
years, upon the same field, without a great
falling od in the product. And it is now
la d .low 11 as an axiom, in good husbandry,
lhal two crops of any small grain should
never be taken from Iho same field in suc-
OCMIVC years, because the) draw too large-
It upon tho same specific food. But alter
.111 interval of lour or Bte years, in which
grass and roots intervene, the specific food
of Ihe wheat crop has so accumulated in
the soil thai this grain may be ogam prof-ilablv
grown upon it. So with all other
farm crops, not even excepting the grasses.
ho law of natural cbauge 111 the product,
01 a soil is so palpable, lhal ill i'lauders
and Holland, where flax is one of the prof-liable
Staple., they do not think of C'ilti_-
v.iting this crop upon the same ground of.
loner than twelve years. Our farmers
seem to appreciate these "irulhs irt refer-ence
to Ullage crops, without duly relle-. t-mg
that they apply as well lo grass as to
grain. Meadows do deteriorate ; ill a for,
tears the Gill r grasses run out, because tin!
'soil becomes exhausted of llie particular
tooJ which afford, them noiiri-liuient;
coarse or innulrieious plants take their
place, and the herbage becomes inferior in
.quaint, and greatly diminished in quantity.
I pou an average, old established meadows
would yield double ihitr. present crops, if
judiciously alternated with grain and root
crops. The terms "suitably divided into
im aelow, and plough and pasture lands,"
II Inch are generally employed to rce-om-uietul
farms on sale, arc an indication of
bad husbandly, and very often betrays the
secret which compels the owner lo sill.
Excepting in »er| stony districts, every
acre of land which will pro-luce good grass,
. s, may, by being rendered dry and rich
be made to" produce good grain and roots.
