SWITZERLAND IN WAR.

The Military importance OF tho Little
Central European Republic.
The Italian General, Clemente Corte.
writing to the Adriatico of Venice,
speaks as follows of the part that
Switzerland may have to play in the
next war in Europe:
II firmly believe that the Swiss
army, or, moro properly speaking tie
Swiss nation, must have gained com.
paratively in military power more
than other nations. This opinion is
formed upon the high national senti.
ment that animates the Swiss people,
their virile and patriotic education,
their long traditional personal service,
their training in the use of the rifle,
and the great confidence which they
have in their arms and in the natural
defenses Of the country. In my opin.
ion, the Swiss, if they are united and
compact, are invulnerable in the up
per portion of their country. And il
must not be forgotten that in this por-
tion they dominate the Rhone, the
army that would have Switzerland with
it could easily threaten Lyons and
turn the defensive works recently con-
structed by the French parallel with
the Vosges. But, on the other hand,
a French army that could count upon
the aid OF the Swiss would. be able
from the Lake Constance to turn all
the defenses Of the Germans on the
borders of the Rhine and threaten the
upper valley Of the Danube. It could
also fall upon Italy by the routes OF
Simplon, St. Gothard and the Grisons.
Il have never been able to compre.
hend the badly concealed menaces OF
Germany against the Swiss neutrality,
because it seems to me that to attack
the Swiss in their own country consti.
tutes a problem before which the Ger.
man army might we'll hesitate, partic-
ularly as few weeks resistance on
the part of those mountaineers would
be sufficient to permit French army
to come to their assistance. Now, the
French army that would be tho master
of the routes of Switzerland could, in
my opinion, offer insurmountable diff
culties for even the triple alliance.
1t is true that the allies would have
considerable forces. But could they
act togetherp And would not the
great number be in itself a difficulty
when it would be necessary to operate
in mountainous country whose de-
tenders could take advantage of the
good roads of the Interior
1T is beyond doubt that in the
present state of Europe, with the triple
alliance on the one hand and the tacit
or apparent union of France and Rus
sia on the other, the military action of
Switzerland must exercise a prepon-
derant influence upon the result of the
war in case the confederation should
be compelled to abandon its neutral

ROTATION OF CROPS.
In Most Cases It Is Il Necessity for Profit
able Cultivation.

In Most Cases It Is Il Necessity for Profit
able Cultivation.
The principles of rotation have been
laid down as follows: l. Every plant
exhausts the soil, when Carried off
from it. 2. But all plants do not ex-
haust the soil equally. nor do different
plants exhaust the soil in the same
manner. 8. Even when fed out on the
farm, all plants do not restore to tho
soil the same quantity nor the same
quality of manure. 4. All crops are
not equally favorable to the growth of
eeds, the nourishment of fungi or
insects or to the health of the land.
A study of these practical rules
makes plain the fact that rotation is
not needed under some circumstances,
while in others it is q necessity for
profitable cultivation. In some cases,
as with asparagus, onions, carrots,
etc. farmers find it to their interest to
cultivate these on the same land year
after year, manuring the soil, of
course, free'y with such plant food as
best suits the crop. Again, in very
rich land, there is often little or no
need of rotation.
On the other hand, many plants
succeed best on new land, and are
liable to degenerate if continuously
cultivated on the same soil. Straw
berries are well-known instance OF
this. Then again different plants diff
fer widely as to their power of draw
ing food from one and the same soil.
Rye and buckwheat, for instance, can
be grown with fair profit when many
other crops would star7e.
And yet again, by long-continued
cultivation of any one crop comes
about peculiar condition of the soil.
of which "clover-silk" land is an il
lustration. In deciding upon rota-
tion of crops. therefore, it behooves
the farmer to consider we'll, not only
the chemical constituents of his soil
and the manures to be employed, but
the peculiarities and habits of growth
of the various crops to be grown.-N.
