Green clover turned under is specialâ€" ly valuable to the land for the rea- son that it absorbs while growing large quantities from the air which is stored up in its tissues. A heavy mat. of growth is produced by the autumn, which, when plowed under, adds considerably to the available nitrogen in the soil, as well as to the store of humus. The proportion of nitrogen thus added to the land Long continued experiments with ar- tificial fertilizers used alone have given results which are disappointing considering the large amount of available plant food they contain. One reason for this lies probably in the fact. that these fertilizers conâ€" tain no humus, and that the proporâ€" tion of Vegetable matter in the soil has been much reduced by constant cropping. Thus the capacity of the soil for holding the moisture has been lessened to the detriment of its crop-producing,r power. Experiments have been conducted for several years in plowing under of green clover to enrich the land, and it has been shown that, clover seed can be sowu in all the eastern Continued efforts have been to gain knowledge as to the best methods of maintaining and adding to the fertility of the land, which is so essential to the continuance of good crops. Special attention has been given to investigations to de- termine the best methods of handling barnyard manure, the universal fer- tilizer which is more or less availâ€" able everywhere to the Canadian farâ€" mer. Experiments continued for eleven years have shown that a given weight of manure taken fresh from the barnyard is equal in crop-producâ€" ing power to the same weight of rot~ ted manure. It has also been shown by repeated tests that fresh manure loses during the process of rotting from 50 to 60 per cent. of its weight. The effective use of the barnyard manure, so as to obtain the best results with the least wasts is one of the most important prob- lems connected with agriculture, for on this material the farmer's hopes of maintaining the fertility of his land and thus providing for a succes- sion of good crops are mainly based. During the past twelve years an- nual tests have been made to gain information as to the relative value of artificial manures used separately and in combination, on nearly all the important farm crops, and the reâ€" sults obtained have been published. made ‘ uvue, LAAC pAULCi Ll'UiLLUu “’lLil CIOVCI‘ gave an average increase in the weight of the tubers of 28 per cent. These experiments are being continâ€" ued from year to year. The tests made in 1900 with oats, wheat, bar- ley and potatoes, confirm those of the preceding years, and further esâ€" tablish the value of this method of adding to the fertility of the soil. In preparing the land for crops, different methods are adopted in difâ€" ferent parts of the Dominion. In the leastern Provinces the advantages arising from fall ploughing have been repeatedly shown.

WORLD’S BIGGEST TREE. What is probably the biggest tree in the world has been discovered to belong to the cypress family, and was found in Mexico’. Its circumfer- ience 6ft. from the ground is 154ft. ‘2in., and to see the top of it one must stand many yards away. It, is near the famous ruins of Mitla, in 'the State of Oaxaca. It is called ‘the “big tree of Yule," and its age is varioust estimated at from 500 Ito 1,000 years. Adopting a. judicious rotation of crops. Following the best methods of prc~ paring the land. Early sowing. Choosing the best and most, pro- ductive varieties for growing. The selection of plump and well ripened seed for planting. Along these several lines many ex- periments have been conducted. Maintaining the fertility of the land, mainly by the proper care and use of barnyard manure, and the ploughing under of green clover, thus adding fertility and humus.
