fashioned practice of blowing under

fashioned practice of blowing under
clover every other year and growing al
ternatcly with it a crop of wheat, was at
the time thought to be the perfection of
good farming. It was not considered to
be an exhaustive rotation. Was there
not every other year clover growth,
mainly secured from the atmosphere, to
replace what the grain crop took from
| the soil? Further experience has shown
the falacy of this reasoning. Green ma
nure necessarily cannot make additions
tomineral fertility of the soil. If every
atom is turned back to the soil without
waste, it gives only the mineral elements
| first taken from the soil. The grain CROP
was always sold, and if the farmers kept
work horses and a few COWS the manure
from these, fed mainly on hay, corn
stalks and straw, was duly drawn upor
the land. 1t was NOT rich manure, anL
WIS usually especially lacking in phos-
pilates. Most of these wheat grower:
have for fifteen ortwcnty years been pur-
chasing mineral manures to replace those
that were exhausted.
The trouble began when even large
clover crop plowed under would not
produce q large crop, while without the
clover good wheat could be grown with
dressing of 200 pouads of phosphate
drilled in with the seed. This convinc-
ing proof of the benefit of mineral ma
nures opened the eyes of many farmers
who had not before doubted that then
two-year system was not keeping up their
farms to the proper standard Of fertility.
Yet ever since, though more stock has
been kept, ana clover has been fed oat
and thus made into manure, the buying
of commercial fertilizers has continued.
In fact, it Is easy to see that this method
restores less of plant food than did the
blowing under of clover under the old
practice. Wheat and other grain are sold
as before, so that the difference IS that
the summer fallow gave tho land the en-
tire clover growth, while the policy of
feeding it to stock saved for the soil only
what was left after it had passed through
animals eating it, and had contributed to
growth, muscle, milk, wool or other ami
NAL products.
1t is clear, also, that the best use OF
clover IS to feed it At home on the farm,
and with it enough Of grain, oil meal OF
other heterogeneous food to make a rich
manure pile, But if oil meal and grain
are to be bought for farm use, it will re.
quire much better. class of farm stock
to make it pay expenses. So that, even
for securing the fullest advantages from
clover growing there must be better
stock, which, in every way it can be
looked at, is seen to be the basis of i'm
proved ing.-American CaHirator. 4

HOW WOULD THIS DO,
Colorado Central Part of the Big
Trunk Line.

Rumors of the early reopenIng of the
Colorado Central between this place and
Fort Collins have been heard here 30
often in the past four or five months and
there has each time been such excellent
foundation for the reports that the re-
sumption of this service is regarded as all
but accomplished.
The latest information in this onnec-
ton is most gratifying. 1t is to the eff
feet that the resurrected Colorado Cen
trail is to be a portion Of the great North
and South line of which Cheyenne is to
be the center. The system will includ
the Denver, Texas & Fort Worth, Colo
RADIO Central, Cheyenne & Northern and
the Northwestern's Black Hills branches.
1t is given out by railway officials that
this plan was lately conceived in antlcipa
ton of a big volume of traffic over the
new trunk line. The Denver Pacific
branch, with its single track, could not
accommodate the increased business.
