ROTATION 0. 



This rotation is three years' duration and includes grain, timothy hay, timothy 

 hay. 



The field intended for grain is ploughed early in the fall and cultivated at inter- 

 vals to insure the sod rotting. It is ploughed again late in the fall and with the 

 grain, the next spring, timothy seed is sown at the rate of 12 lbs. to the acre. 



Timothy hay is cut for two years and the land again ploughed early in the fall. 

 Manure is applied in the fall of the first year under hay. 



O 1. This field was under timothy hay. 



O 2. This field was sown to oats May 1, cut August 11. It includes a very con- 

 siderable proportion of black mucky soil which, on account of the senson, became in- 

 fested with weeds and the crop on that part had to be cut and fed green to cattle. In 

 giving the returns for this field below this fact was borne in mind and allowance 

 made. 



O 3. This field was under timothy hay and was the field to receive manure in the 

 fall of 1904.
