Glover in Rotation Leaves Land Richie
Than IL Was Before.


Than IL Was Before.
We are asked; "Wbat is a clover rota.
tion?" 1t is a rotation of crops in
which clover occupies the land for one
or two years. The crops in use to form
the rotation are corn, potatoes, oats,
rye, wheat, bar,oY, roots and some.
times others. A common rotation in
the east is corn or potatoes on sod, oats
the next year, rye or wheat sowed in
the fall and seeded TO clover on this
The clover remains one or two years
and is then plowed unocr and the land
planted to corn and potatoes again. A
quicker rotation is to seed in the
spring with oats. Potatoes or roots
may follow corn for year, then the
land may be seeded with oats. The
clover seed is sown directly after the
oats and brushed in or rolled. Thick
seeding should generally be practiced.
In the south, where protection is
needed on the ground in winter, oats
may be sown in the fall, plowed under
in the spring and the land planted to
corn or cotton. The COW pea here
takes the place of clover at the north,
but unlike it, will grow on poor soils
The peas are sown in the spring in
| drills and may be harvested for fodder
crop in the summer, or be turned under
as a green manure when well up. or
even allowed to rot on the land. In the
west the rotation is shorter and is gem
orally corn, followed by spring wheat,
or oats, and then winter wheat and
seeded to clover. In sections where
wheat is not grown the seeding is
done with oats. 1t is bad practice to
follow corn with corn or wheat with
wheat for year after year, This will
soon run out the best land, and clover
should come in at least once in every
five years.
The great value of clover in rota.
ton is that it leaves the land richer
and in better mechanical condition than
it was before. This is from the fact
that the clover roots penetrate very
deeply into the subsoil and bring much
fertility to the surface. A great amount
of the stalks and stems are always left
on the field and these, with the roots,
greatly enrich the soil when they de-
cay. 1t is n generally accepted fact
that clover and other plants of the
same family have the power to use the
nitrogen of the air. Assimilating the
nitrogen of the air and bringing up fer
tility from below where other plants
feed are the two ways in which clover
enriches the soil.-N. E. Homestead.

In June, it's season of bloom, the
coarse, dark herbage and curious, sus-
picious looking, duslzy or brownish

attention even from the least observ-

''rocky woods" but through the
agency probably of birds it has ex-
tended its domains to hedges and road

HOT-WEATHER COOKERY.

A Few Pithy Chapters From the GOSPEL
of the Gas Stove.
This is the gospel of the gas stove,
and it is written by Bridgetless
prophet in a flat. She has honor in her
own country:
In the first place, saith the prophet,
never buy stove with more than two
''rings." On such one may be done
the cooking for family of five and no
ordinary burner will supply gas enough
for three rings.
Secondly, always remove the lava tip
from the burner before putting on the
pipe. This will permit more gas to
come through, and it can be replaced
easily This lava tip will probably dis
play talent for getting lost, and half
dozen extra ones will be profitable in
vestment.
Lay piece of oilcloth on your range,
and set the stove on it When the stove
gets greasy rub it with damp news
paper. Use the same thing to wipe out
the little tin oven You have heated over
one ring and in which your roasting or
baking has been done Frying, of
course, may be done with the ordinary
pan, but broiling and boiling have their
| own fascinating little utensils. The
little broiler has wire netting under
it, like Sir Humphrey Davy lamp,
which prevents the flame from coming
N contact with the chops or toast. The
sauce-pans are the cleverest idea of all;
either two or three, according to the
shape, can be placed at once on singh
ring. Imagine a pie cut in halves with
handle on each section, and you have
the double saucepan in which potatoes
and peas may cook side by side; or euh
the ordinary pie in thirds and see how
easily another vegetable may be addeC
to the menu.
All this is, of course, at the expense
of boiler full of hot water, but with Il
kettle and one of your big saucepan,
you can quickly heat enough water 70,
your baths.
The prophet rises at 7, has half an
hour to dress, and put breakfast ot
coffee, meat, eggs, a cereal and toastor
the table at 1850. Sometimes if colo
roast seems desirable on hot Gay the
oven goes on afterward, making dinner
preparations and by 10 o'clock the
kitchen is cool for the day-as cool as
the parlor.
The prophet puts out her washing,
but gowns always need pressing, ans
five ordinary irons can be heated on ..
pentagonal dome Gf the expression be
permissable) that fits on one of the
rings. The dome, oven, broiler, set OF
saucepans, and the stove itself do not
make an expensive luxury.
There is only one precaution to be
strictly observed. Don't let the gasman
know you have stove, IL he finds it
out up will go your bills with the most
airy disregard of the meter, but, with
little tact employed in steering the col
lector into tine front hail, you may
laugh at those who predict bankruptcy
as a result of the experiment, and cook
without sizzling yourself al summer

A BEAUTIFUL PLANT.

Triosteum, or Fever Root, where and
How It Grows.
The name of this interesting plant Is
derived from two Greek words meaning
three bones. (The drupe contains three
bony seeds,)
Two species only are found in the
United States-T. augustifolium, a
rarer and more southern form, and T..
perfoliatum which is widely distributed,
and, though seldom abundant, is still
not rare. The plant is her baceous,
growing from three to four feet high
without branches. The leaves are
large, perfoliate, and as well as the
stems are clothed with soft somewhat
sticky or clammy hairs. Flowers,
dusly purple, growing in clusters of
five or more closely around the stem at
the basis of the leaves; these are fol-
lowed by orange-colored, three-se eded
drupes crowned by the persistent calyx
segments. These drupes are said to be
used sometimes as substitute for cof-

The principal of the schools at Port
Republic, n. j., sent Insect Life mis-
report; about a month ago Mr..
Fielder of the town, butchered Two
hogs for his own supply of meat. 1"tey
were apparently healthy and all we'll.
In sticking one of them he noticed the
blood was unusually dark colored. and
the hog had unusual tenacity of life.
When the intestines were removed the
stomach was found TO be infested with
bot worm, just as horsts are. The
stomach also had some dry substance
in itresemoling half-chewt,d corn stalk.
The worms had not yet elten Though
the coatings of the stomach, although
some were nearly through" DIR. Riley
replies that this case is interesting be-
cause, if the information is correct, il
will be the only case, so far US he
knows, in which the true stomach bot
has been found in the hog. Hitherto
the bots have been found only in the
horse, the ass and the rhinoceros AS
none of the maggots was saved, it is
impossible to tell just what they
were.

FARM AND GARDEN.

DESTROY all webs in trees and do so
while the caterpillars are small, as it
will then be much easier job.
Thin out your early beets by using
the large ones for the table, or, if
necessary, thin them out and throw
the surplus beets and leaves to the
pigs.
The dairyman who knows how to
handle his milk and butter during the
warm season will know how to save
expenses, avoid loss and add to his
profits.
FERTILIZER at the stem of plant is
not as valuable as if mingled in the
soil around it, foot away or more,
according to the size of the growing
plant above ground For trees it should
extend even further than the largest
branches.
ALL stimulants should be applied
with care. Begonias are particularly
sensitive to them, and they should be
used but seldom on geraniums, but to
roses, fuchsias, carnations, heliotropes
and others they may be given with
more safety.
If the droppings from the cows in a
small pasture become very noticeable
it will pay to have the heaps scattered
over the ground. If left, a major part
of the fertility sinks directly into the
soil and gets down below the roots of
the grass.
The cost of keeping COW has been
shown to be about 10 cents per day,
or S36 per year. Any variation from
this is probably offset by the differ
ence in value of products. If a COW
will not pay this per year she is worse
than no COW.
In order to lessen he number of in
sects next season make it point to
rake up all the falle n fruits, as they
will make excellent food for the pigs if
cooked. 1t IS in the fallen apples,
peaches and pears that many of the
insects are bred.
A FARMER should first find out
whether or not his COW is capable of
producing profit, before beginning to
feed her on scientific principles. There
are thousands of cows that could not
produce a cents worth of profit on the
best feed on earth.

So far as l have ever read, the first
notice Of coal in Pennsylvania was
made public by Gabriel Thomas, in his
Historical and Geographical Account"
published in 1893. He say that he be-
heved there was coal in the province
because he had observed that the runs
OF water have the same color as that
which proceeds from the coal mines in
Wales" The map published by Scull
in 1870 bore the word 'coal" at point
near the site of Pottsville. The first
actual discovery of coal, however,
which led to its being mined and mark
eted was made by Philip Ginter n
hunter, on Sharp mountain, nine miles
northwest of Mauch Chunk, in 1901 In
the town just mentioned. the grandson
of the discoverer of this vast wealth
has often blacked the writer's boots. -

Bill Arp Combines Philosophy with Prac
tical Farming.
Any farmer can make one. Make in
two sections, each three feet long and
as near three inches in diameter as
you can get. Poplar is the best timber.
Bore through with two-inch augur--
that is, bore half way from each end,
and if man has good eye he can hit
the hole. If he misses it little the
iron spindle will burn it's way through.
Let the spindle be only one and half
inches in diameter and project four
inches. Put washer between the
rollers. Build frame round and let
the end of the spindle support it. Bolt
the corners of the frame together. Bolt
two upright standards at each end for
seat securely to the cross pieces. Then
bolt and brace n good tongue to the
front of the frame and use your wagon
doubletree. Then get aboard and pop
your whip and ride. 1t is splendid rid
ing. Carl does all my rolling and Jessie
rides with him sometimes. A roller
beats any harrow in the world for pull
verizing. In fact | have never seen a
harrow that would pulverize much.
This spring my land broke up very
cloddy, but planted corn and covered
it with the clods and then rollld it, and
it was smooth as IL parlor floor and
every hill came up. sowed my turnip
seed Saturday and rolled them in and
they came up before breakfast Monday
morning. Roll your wheat, roll your
clover seed, roll everything you can.
