ROTATION.
The Key to the Whole System of CroI
Renovation.

The Key to the Whole system of Cror
Renovation.
If one will observe how nature pro-
vides succession of crops, q rotation,
in fact, of pines after hard woods and OF
hard woods after pines, he may learn
the necessity of following this example
of nature and of himself practicing $
regular rotation of crops. And the
farmer is bound to practice this natural
law of rotation, and in the practice the
luguminous crops play most important
part. Then We have to consider where
clover or peas, which are the most use
full of these crops, come in to the best
advantage. And as rule it must be
Just proceeding the most exacting crop.
With some farmers this is wheat, with
some it is corn, and with some one OF
these is as important as another. But
clover comes in just at this point. and,
in fact, it is the key to the whole of the
rotation. All that is to be considered,
then, is how to get it in. because, rs q
rule, the clover is sOwn down with the
wheat. Where peas are a successful
crop there is no trouble, because peas
can precede wheat, clover can follow it,
oats or barley can follow clover, roots OF
potatoes can follow the oats or barley,
and peas can follow the roots. Where
corn is grown this can follow clover or a
mixture of grass and clover; roots can
follow corn, oats or barley can follow
roots, clover can be sown down with
these grains, and wheat can follow the
clover, and clover and timothy can be
sown with the wheat, or grass of some
kind alone In the one rotation there will
be five crops and in the other eight. We
mention roots because this crop is as in
dispensible as clover for its beneficial
effect in cleaning the soil of weeds. and
this operation is as absolutely necessary
to good farming as good soil and good
culture are.-N. Y. Times.

Separating Cream From Milk.

In a series of experiments by Prof.
Ford of England, rs reported in the
agricultural Gazette. London. the fol-
lowing conclusions may be drawn: 1t
was found that the yield Of butter grew
less the lower the temperature of the
milk before setting. When milk set in
ice-water directly after milking gave
100 pounds, milk that had been previ-
ously cooled to 6S' gave 9j.7 pounds.
5i' gave 81 pounds, 1872 gave S6.3
pounds. 4 means Of restoring the or
iginal qualities of such milk was found
in warming the milk to about 1912 be-
fore setting.
Prof. Ford gives two general conclu-
sions:
/. Shaking Of the milk before setting
is detrimental to rapid separat on OF
the cream. OF two samples of milk. one
being shaken before set aside, the latter
required eight hours to separate seven
per cent of cream. the time required by
the other 10 So; arate the same quantity
being only three hours.
2. Premature cooling of the milk be-
fore setting is more serious in its effect
upon a thorough separation than the
first mentioned point. When milk con-
veyed to creamery in a common
vehicle by centrifugal separation gave
100 pounds of butter. a sample of milk
of the same quantity and quality con-
veyed in the same manner, and set in
ice water. gave 9O.S pounds. while
another sample that had been cooled.
transported as before, and then set in
ice-water. gave only S7.9 pounds.

MILKING BY MEN.

some Suggestions rs to the Manner In
Which This Necessary Work should he
Performed.
Kind treatment of the COW and
thorough milking have been frequently
urged and the necessity of both is
well understood. And yet there are
many farmers who take no practical
steps to insure these things. Milking
on many farms seems to be regarded
by the farmer as 4 means of recreation
to the man or men in his employ. The
help is required to DO a full days work
in the field. and then end up with milk
ing. This is an injustice all around. 1t
is an injustice to the help. an injustice
to the cow and an injustice to the
owner, for it is pretty nearly out of the
question to get the milking properly
done under such circumstances. 1t is
always advantageous to the employer to
have his help satisfied. Ii ought to be
his study to make his employees feel that
they are well and honestly treated. If
he does the fair thing by his help. and
any portion of it is not reasonable enough
to see that it is fairly treated. he had
better get rid of it as soon as possible.
Usually, however, men are reasonable,
and if they are not imposed upon they
will recognize the justice that is being
done them, and will strive to do the
best they can. But a days work, under
ordinary circumstances. should be rea-
sonable, and the milking ought to be
included in it. There is no one thing
that gives so much dissatisfaction on the
farm, as this manner of extending the
days work into the night. The men
feel cross and are not gentle with the
COW. They naturally want to get
through as soon as possible, and the
milking is hurriedly and imperfectly
jury done will very soon be very costly
to the owner.
There is nothing at all gained by such
management. but there is good deal
lost; and those who have hitherto
adopted such a course, can easily be
convinced that what we say is true, if
they will follow our advice. Milking is
not very congenial to men anyhow. 1t
is work that usually gives no pleas
ure, and to load it with unnecessary re-
pulsive features is no part of wisdom.
The owner of the COW himself does not
Ike to milk. and he can not expect that
his hired men will enjoy it. HIS own
selfinterest. therefore. should prompt
him to make it as easy as possible. He
ought to insist upon gentleness with the
cow. and he ought to insist upon thor
ough and careful milking. But it is
perfectly useless to attempt to secure
these unless he takes all legitimate
steps toward securing them.-Rural
and StOckmdn.

Consul General Strother reports from
Mexico that the average wages in gen.

day. the highest sum being paid to
bakers: in factories. mills, ETC., from
81 80 to S25 per week; in foundries.

latter being given to bOOk-keepers: in
households, from s. to $50 per month;
on farms, from So to $40 per month.
The cost of living to the laboriEg class
es is variable, Mr.. StrOther says: Their
dwellings in the cities are generally
wanting in all the requirements of health
and cOmfort-mostly rooms on the
ground floor without proper light or
ventilation. often with but single open
ing (that for entrance), dirt floors. and
no drainage. These rent from 81 to So
per month. The average cost of living
food and drink for a laboring man in

country, from ~ to Is cents. The us

with sandals of raw-hide. The women
are shod and hated as the men, but af-
feet gay colors IN their petticOats and
rebosas. The average annual cost of n
man dress is not over So; that of a
woman double that sum, with an unde-
termined margin for cheap jewelry.
AS rule, none of the working classes
has any idea of present economy. or of
providing for the future. The lives OF
most of them seem to be occupied in
obtaining food and amusement for the
passing hour, without either hope or
desire for better future. The mechanic
is always wanting money in advance
under the pretense of getting materials
to enable him to ill your order; the Ia
borer. to get something to eat before he
begins your work. The prevalent vices
in Mexico are gambling, fighting, and
drunkenness.-St Suite Department Re
