To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
never hit upon, and but few farmers seem to know, what is abso- lutely the fact, that wheat ceases to grow well, to produce largely, and to withstand the vicissitudes of the weather and the attacks of insects when, — and because, — those parts of the ashes of the grain which are most essential to its perfection are no longer supplied by the soil in sufficient quantities, and where, from inju- dicious plowing and harrowing, (especially from plowing in wet weather), the land has been brought to a... condition unfavorable to its growth. Wheat requires for its best growth a soil that is compact rather than loose, and that has been made rich by previous cultivation with manure, rather than by the application of heavy dressings of fresh manure during the immediate preparation for the crop. Peruvian guano, nitrate of soda, super-phosphate of lime, — any manure in fact which is not subject to an active fermentation, — may, with advantage, be harrowed in after plowing, or applied as a top dressing after planting ; but, as a rule, it is better to apply the manure to a previous crop, thus giving it time to become thoroughly decomposed before the wheat is sown.
