This rotation is of three years' duration, and includes roots, soiling crop and 

 pasture in the order named. The land is ploughed late in the fall after it has been 

 manured. It is disked the next spring and the roots sown on ridges. The roots receive 

 the usual cultivation and are of varied character, including mangels, sugar mangels, 

 sugar beets and turnips, devoted to pork production for the most part, the surplus 

 being sold to cattle and the returns invested in meal for pig feeding. 



The soiling-crop field is sown with various crops suitable for feeding to pigs. 

 What is over and above the a.mount possible of consumption by pigs is charged to the 

 cattle at $2 per ton and tlie returns used to purchase meal for pork production. 



The pasture area is divided into several parts, the seed being sown, as far as 

 possible, at the same time as the soiling crops the previous year, and not allowed to be 

 eaten too close the first fall, although any good growth is not Avasted.
