The Adviintages of Green Mauu
ring.
P”Keeping stock is one of the chief
means of improving the land ; this by
the sod and stable manure which is
made, wo that grazing, or the dairy,
forms one of the important elements in
rotation —by many considered a necessi
ty, as it certainly is a chief principle.
Hut green crops may be made a success
ful substitute, with advantages not pos
sessed by the other. My observation
for a long time, confirmed more recent
ly, and particularly the present season,
has convinced me that it is, at least in
many cases, advisable to engage largely
in green manuring, and for the follow
ing reasons : The material can be readi
ly obtained, and requiring but a few
nu nths or a season to grow it. Advan
tage is til us derived in time over first
fe. ding it and converting it into ma
nure and applying it. There is no waste,
no care, no labor, and it is well distrib
uted through the soil. All the propri
eties of the plant are there to be repro
duced, pad active in their decomposing
effect upon the crude original material
of the land, hereby also mellowing and
warming it having thus the influence
which we see in sod upon corn, the crop
appropriating the nitrogen before it can
escape, which escape is in part affected
with barn-yard manure before it gets in
to the soil.
Then there are further advantages.—-
You can grow crops suited to the time
you want them for manuie —rye sown
in the fall and turned down in the
spring, as we have a case here of the
greatest success with corn ; so also, 'and
put to grain or otherwise used during
the summer may be sown to rye in the
fall and replowed in th 6 spring, contin
uing the summer crop has beep raised
and the ground is mellow, the rye may
be harrowed in, or cultivated and har
rowed without plowing. It will be found
that the land has been benefited beywnd
expectation. Do not bury the crop deep.
A few inches plowing will be sufficient
where the ground is not hard, and where
hard the suosoil plow should be used.—
The pea is a still better enricher than
rye —a rapid grower particularly bene
fitted by plaster ; it is advantageous to
the soil by shading and mellowing it.
It lias been the practice of some ut our
broom corn-growers to sow clover im
mediately niter the last cultivation of
the land. As the ensuing corn cr pis
put out before the last of May, or a lit
tle earlier, in a forward season,the ground
would be well coverercd with the young
clover, the root of which is from two to
three feet, in length at that time, afford
ing much more enrichment than is usu
ally supposed—more than one would
think the plant could possible afford.—
In this way the land has been kept up
in some cases decidedly improved, the
broom corn culture yearly continued.—
Where the clover is sown with grain in
the spring, and the catch is a good one,
it is equivalent to a good coat of manure
Hut in all cases l finds it wants to be
led to a grain or other crop that is a
strong and rapid feeder, as the clover,
like the pea, abounds in nitrogen. And
do not turn down deep, especially if the
top growth is considerable, as this valu
able ingredient, in the form of nitric
acid, having no affinity for the soil, will
be pretty sure to sink beyond the reach
of the crop that is to bo benefited by it.
Hut any crop will benefit to turn down,
even thistles —and Canada thistles are
especially enriching—dui-y and other
weeds, the daisy sometimes growing very
heavy in pastures, and might be turned
down with tho greatest advantage. In
such cases, how. v r, a second plowing
should be given (to mix soil and ma
nure), as a heavy green crop, rotting
will produce a quantity of a -id that may,
if undistributed, be a hurt instead of a
benefit to the crop sown after. Some
are said to have used lime on the green
crop when turned down, with satislacto
ry results. Never plow under a green
crop early in the fall and leave till late
in the spring when rains will work uiis
chief; and do not spare the seed that is
to form your green crop. Get a thick
stand 01 set so as to fill the ground well
with roots. Hv this is not to be under
stood that usual saving and applying of
manure shall be dispensed with, or the
dairy grazing neglected ; it is to be ad
ditional to these, and where the land is
not calculated for dairying or grazing, it
is a substitute. As there is a general
lack of manure, the deficiency can be
supplied in this way, the cheapest and
most effectual way if conducted with
discretiou. — Tribune.
Iloas Want Sulphur. —Whether
hogs went sulphur as uu essential to
their health.or whether it is sought by
them as a condiment may not bo discov
ered. But ono thin" is true, they do
vour it with greed vvheuever it is to be
found. It is f'yr this purpose, probably,
that they can cat large quantities of oft
coal, which contains a large amount
of sulphur. Perhaps this is the most
economical method of supplying hogs
with sulphur during winter when they
require a good deal of carbon. But in
summer, it s better to feed it to them
in substances which contain less carbon,
ou account of their producing less heat.
Mustard : s one of the best things for
this purpose, and some of it should be
sown in every pasture into which hogs
are turned. If hogs are kept in, or in
small yards, it is well to supply them
with wild mustard that grovs in the
fie'd? or highways, or to cu!tiva‘e some
of the bolter varieties fur them. They
will cat its leaves, its Hovers, seeds and
stalks— Oar Home Journal,
