Advantages Of Rotation in Crops.

l. Each crop exhausts the soil of
certain elements. Continuing the
same crop for many years consumes
these elements. The soil will not
produce that crop longer. Another
crop CONSUMES another order of ele
ments, and will flourish when the first
will not grow. ..
2. Each plant, while growing,
throws off certain matters which arc
not favorable TO the growth of success
sivc crops Of the same plant. Plants
in this respect are some what like
animals, which always avoid their own
excfements. Now, other plants may
use these matters. Hence a rotation
is profitable, because one crop may
take up what another throws off.
B. Certain crops have certain in.
sectS that prey on them. The cultiva-
ton of the same crop for many years,
iavors the multiplication of these in
sects, Change the crop, and you d.
mlnsh or destroy them.
4. Various crops furnish various
kinds OF manures, which are found
profitable on a farm. Who wants this
variety will find q rotation the sim.
plest and easiest way to secure it.
s. A rotation in crops results in
some great social advantages. Among
these are the following: A community
which pursues good rotation will be
more independent of foreign supplies.
1t will pass through a season of scar
city with less suffering. It's farmers
will be more intelligent, because their
experience viii be more varied. Thcir
prosperity, too, will not depend on the
ups and downs Of IA single crop.

The best way to cure sucking COWS,
is to put on an old bride with the bit

was very pretty, with auburn hair and
blue eyes. and was dressed in white. l
had left Richmond, and at that time was
too much Of aboy to be struck by female
beauty. She was SO delicate and dainty-
looking, so different from the hale. buxom,
brown girls Of the woods -and then her
dress! Never was poor youth SO taken
by surprise and auddenly bewitcbed. My
heart yearned to know her, bu. how was
to accost her? had grown wild in the

ern dressed bellies Of the Pigeon Roost. I
should have approached her without dread
nay, bad she been as fair as Shuts daugh-

should not have hesitated; but that white
dress, and those auburn Einglets, and blue
eyes, and delicate looks, quite daunted
