Farmers Should Raise More Of 1t - Its
Value in Keeping Up the Fertility of
tho Farm.
the farm is gradually selling the fertil-
ity, and in a majority of cases it is only
q question of time when the amount of
available plant food demanded by these
crops will have become so nearly ex-
hausted as to render it difficult to secure
profitable yields If, says the Farm,
Field and Stockman, the grain, instead
of being sold, is fed out to stock on the
farm, making, saving and applying all
the manure possible, considerable help
can be secured in keeping up the fer
;tility.
Following a rotation of crops lessons
the wearing out of the soil, because diff
ferent crops require different elements
of plant food, and some crops not only
take elements not used by other plants,
but aid to make available other elements
that are in the soil but are not in an
available condition. But grass for all
kinds Of stock is one of the best and
cheapest foods that can be secured,
whether used as pasture, as soiling
crop, or as hay after cutting and curing.
1t proves good crop in making up ro-
tation. 1t is good with grain in making
complete and economical rations; hence
more or less of the farm should be in
grass. Taking the average farm where
a system of rotation is carried on and
where the products raised are fed out to
good, thrifty stock. one-half the acreage
of the farm should be into grass. OF
course care should be taken to secure a
good, even stand SO that the best profits
may be realized.
In many eases it would be a positive
benefit to the farm to seed from one
third to one-half the acreage to pasture
grasses and manure as much of the
balance as possible, put in the best
possible filth, use good seed, and give
thorough cultivation SO as to increase
yield. Grow larger crops on less acre
age and lessen the cost.
Seeding to grass will give the land
some rest: it will be change even il

PREHISTORIC SKELETONS.


An Interesting Discovery Recently Made ut
AuvernieF, Switzerland.
The pretty little village Of Auvernier
lies on the lake of Neufchatel, and not
far from the town Of the same name;
and here it was that some workmen re-
Gently discovered tombs Of the ancient
lake dwellers- The dead were neither
thrown into the lake nor burned, but
were buried, something in the fashion
of other people, on dry land and in tombs
close to their lake villages. This tomb
ct Auvernier was found about six feet
IN derground, in hard gravel and clay
Of the lake shore. 1t was built of heavy
slab of granite set on edge. and covered
with slabs of the same character. There
was n stone in the bottom of the vault
-siml 'ly gravel. The tomb was nearly
six fee, deep, little over three and
half fee, wide, and only five feet three
inches il length. There were twenty
skeletons in it-and how so many bodies
could have been buried in so small a
place is a mystery. The shortness of
the tomb mt st have made it necessary,
unless the pc ople were dwarfs, to double
the bodies toe ether, or else stand them
on their feet. One of the slabs cOmpOs-
ing this old t. NIB was of Mont Blanc
granite, and al though foot thick,
fell to pieces on being uncovered.
There was also an entrance to tais sep
ulcher, built of roc slabs similar to the
tomb itself The elics found with these
bodies consist of a necklace of bOars'
tusks, beads of bears and wolves teeth,
a celt or haechet of erpentine. and two
or three bronze ring. ;, pins and beads
This was prsbably the burial place Of
one of the first FAINT lies OF the lake
jewellers, for certainly not every one
could bring great grant slabs from lar
off Mont Blanc to bull tomb with.
The antiquarisus place the building Of
this dead-house at the clio Sc of the stone
age, when bronze was just beginning to
be known as an article Of luxury. Re-
Gently still other tOmbs of the lake
jewellers have been discovered at Mont
reux and elsewhere, but, aside from the
methods of burial, they throw NC new
light on the life and times of their secu-
pants. The only safe conclusion to'ar-
rive at is that nearly the whole of
Switzerland, for centuries and centuries,
and at time of which history takes no |
account, was settled by numerous, in
dustrious, and PARTLY civilized people,
who for their own protection adopted
the practice of building their homes I'M
the waters of the lakes. This sort Of
life lasted almost to the time of julius
Caesar, when it was gradually given up
the people of the Alps changing their
abodes from the water to the dry lanG
on the advance of civiiization.-S. II. NJ. |

GOVERNOR "oUEERED."
The Unwonted Effect of an Old Clergyman
Reading of the Document.

Dr. .iddHiS Book on "IhdnkSJictng
There was once elected Governor of
Massachusetts certain worthy gentle
man who had been voted for as can
didate year after year, but who had al
ways before been defeated. Even when
he was elected he slipped in by the
narrowest of all ma orities-one vote.
The minority, no doubt, felt that his
administration was dispenSation and
was rather inclined to fasting than to
giving thanks.
The custom prevailed, whenever the
Governor issued his annual proclama-
ton for thanksgiving, of sending by
the Sheriff of the county copy of the
same on a large hand bill, to be read
from every pulpit, which document
invariably closed-as proclamations in
Massachusetts still do-after the
signature of the Governor, with the
exclamation, ''God save the Common
wealth of Massachusetts"
On the year referred to the newly
elected magistrate issued his proclama-
ton in the usual form. 1t Is said that a
venerable clergyman of the old party
laid the broad sheet over the reading
desk. and after performing the profess
sional duty of reciting it, with an i'll
disguised aversion, announced the Off
cial signature with an intonation feebly
marked by points of interrogation and
surprise:

save the Commonwealth of Massachu-
setts,"
