Rotation 'A.' 



This rotation of five years' duration includes grain, hay (two years), grain and 

 corn or roots, in order named. The grain crop mentioned first, comes after corn. With 

 the first crop of grain is sown 10 lhs. red clover, 1 lb. alsike and 10 lbs. timothy per 

 acre. The field is left in hay for two years; then in August of the second year it is 

 ploughed and cultivated at intervals till October, when it is ridged up and left till 

 next spring. Oats are sown on this field, and with them red clover seed at the rate of 

 10 lbs. per acre. This clover is allowed to grow for something over a year, or until 

 corn seeding time the following spring, when it is turned under with a shallow furrow 

 along with the manure that will have been applied during the winter. After the corn 

 has been harvested, the land is ploughed shallow and left till next spring. 



The crops on this rotation have been fairly satisfactory this year. 



From 'Al'a good crop of grain was harvested. 'A 2' was in hay and only gave 

 a fair crop. On 'A 3 ' the crop grown was corn and gave a good yield. 'A 4 ' was in 

 hay, but, on account of dry weather, the second crop was light, bringing the yield 

 somewhat below the average. On ' A 5 ' a very good crop of oats was grown.
