The first step in agriculture is naturally the success ful growing of plants, or field crops. We ehould never lose eight of this fundamental fact in our study of ag l.ia..llM^, soil la. Ik._a I_m Unt part of the wholr matter, becaua* everything must come from it. The degree of fertility in the aotl determine* the drgiee of success that cornua to the farmer, other chingv Mag equal. The mineral element! ra the eofl. commonly^ known ¥*an wDl rragar fiin afnipion ovtr tbf oerth out!] h© letrii from Aatar« bow to moltoin the lugmeot* ing powers of its disintegrating crust. One great advantage in h'rvstock tanning t» the eaac with which aoil fertility can be maintained by this method. Thera ie always a place for ^**7 pound of surplus food end arae* and hay grown on the farm. When tho livestock is shipped from the farm, much of the feed k left in the form of manure. To produce a hundred pounds of beef requires a bout 1.000 pounds of grain and 600 pounds of roughage. But of this, J,. 400 pounds am left on the farm when tho other hundred arc sold. To grow a pound of mutton require* a bout nine pounds of feed, but eight pounds of this are left on the farm when the sheep li sold. With hog* it takes from four to «is pounds of feed to produce one pound of flesh, hut from three to live pounds are left on the farm when the hog is sold off. It will thus be teen that livestock encourage! os to apply to our soils, in the form of manure, a larva part •f what grew on them, and these manure* help to keep and increase the vitality of the suit. They help to increase the yields, and to cut down overhead expense. Industry, and especially the pack ing IndoWry, hat an interest in the performance of soil fertility because of no other basis can farmer and fac tory man thrive. A fertile soil means laqga crops, and larger crops mean more and tutlsr TVI. turn, mown* a busy manufacturing essvter, and mor* and battar food for humanity. Fertility may be maintained or iiv iaertMed through a good system erf tiling*, by emphasising the llvaotoeh features of tha farm, by the proper one *f fertiliser* or manufacturod plant foods, and by a good system of crop rotation, that will leave the soil in a healthy condition. The farmer has the moat tan* and natural of all occupations and unquestionably finds Ufa sweeter than any other clam of eltisea.
