Rotation of Crops 



fruit, milk, in a word everything is derived ; 

 in order to obtain every advantage from the 

 manure, instead of keeping to the same 

 plant in a field for several years in succession, 

 it is better to cultivate in turn different 

 kinds of plants, so that each of them may 

 make use of that which is left by those 

 that came before them. This succession of 

 different crops is called rotation.
