 made during the winter; so that the intended 

 arrangement of crops can be mapped out for the 

 coming season. This will, of course, be a con- 

 venient guide in placing the manure for each 

 crop at the point where it is to be used, in pro- 

 curing supplies of seed, and also in many other 

 details. 



In mapping out a field in this manner, a person 

 must of course understand the rotation, or suc- 

 cession, of crops, in order to do the mapping 

 intelligently; and accordingly we shall proceed 

 to consider this subject next in order. 



ROTATION OF CROPS 



The right succession of crops for enabling the 

 cultivator to obtain paying results, both in the 

 harvests to be gathered first and in condition of 

 the soil for further culture, has always been a 

 subject of much importance to every tiller of the 

 soil; and is also interesting from a scientific point 

 of view. 



The difference between the old style of summer 

 fallowing and the present well-understood plans 

 of rotation is so considerable that the two ways
