ROTATION *0.' 



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

 hay. 



The field intended for grain i3 ploughed early in the fall and cultivated at inter- 

 raia to insure the sod rotting. It isf ploughed again late in the fall and with the 

 ffrain, 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. 



01. — This field was again under timothy hay. 



02. — This field was oats. It includes a very considerable portion of black mucliy 

 Boil. This part of the field was on account of the adverse season, infested with weeds 

 and the crop on that part had to be cut and fed green. This was allo-vrod for in giving 

 leturns above. 



03. — This field was under oat hay. It should have been in timothy hay, but wa« 

 frozen out in the winter 1905-6.
