KEEPING UP FERTILITY.
How to Grow Crops aud at the Same
Time Keep Up the Farm.

How to Grow Crops aud ut the Same
Time Keep UP the Farm.
1t is comparatively easy matter to
to keep up the fertility of the soil when
manure can be secured conveniently.
But so far western farmers are not so
situated that this can be done, and it
is serious question as to the best plan
of management to grow crops contin-
ually and at the same time keep up the
farm
The farmer who is close to largo
market where good portion of tho
crops can be hauled in and sold. and
manure be secured at a nominal price
to haul back, has very decided ad-
vantage over the farmer who Is so sit
uated that all the manure secured dnust
be made on the farm. 1t is easy
enough to say, keep sufficient num-
Der of stock to consume all the various
products grown on the farm, make,
save and apply all the manure" This
is good advice as far as it goes, but the
average farmer finds by experience
that this, even with the most careful
management, will afford very in
adequate supply. man with small
farm can secure better supply in pro-
portion to the advantages than the one
on a large farm because he has more
time to gather up and work in material
that the more extensive farmer is
obliged to let 60 The larger the farm
the more the work of hauling out and
applying is increased,

to keep up the fertility: and when, as
is so generally the case, the soil has
run down to more or less extent by
continued cropping, it is difficult to
continue to grow crops and at the
same time build up the fertility. 1t
cannot be done altogether by applying
manure and less SO when the manure
must all be made on the farm.
Seeding down to grass is only a
| change and does not build up the soil
if the hay is cut off If green crops
can be grown and plowed under this
will help, and in many cases it can be
done to good advantage. OF course,
where regular system of rotation is
carried out, the products grown are all
fed out to stock on the farm, pur-
chasing and using bran, middlings and
oil meal in connection with the feed
grown on the farm. Much better re-
suits can be obtained than where no
particular pains are taken in this re-
spect Yet, even with the best of man
agement, it is difficult to keep up or
build up the fertility.
AS with much other farm work it is
easier to tell how to do than to do, and
especially where there is such diff,
ference in the conditions under which
the work must be done. Prairie

LEGENDS OF LEAP YEAR.
February 20 Hns Always Been Reckoned

February 30 Hns Always Been Reckoncd u
Very Unluoky Day.
The advent of leap year" and the
break in the regular order OF days make
anything in regard to the "bissextile'
or leap year" of more than ordinary
interest Leap year has always been
regarded with awe and superstition by
the people of all countries The poas-
antry of England affirm that peas and
beans grow the wrong way in their
pods-that is, the seed are set the
wrong way to what they are in the or
dinury years. In Belgium the rural
folks maintain that leap year is not
only unpropitious for all farming oper-
ations. but throughout the year the
young of the domestic animals will not
thrive as ut other times.
similar fatality, they srgue, ex-
tends to every kind of grass and plant
which becomes stunted or is Glighted
before attaining it's normal size. The
same peculiar ideas prevail in Russia
Turkey Tartnry, India and Ara
bia. The Russian proverb says:
"If St Cassian February 29)
looks on COW she withers." "
In Arabia they say: GAS weak as bis.
,ary they call all hunchbacks, dwarfs
and other deformed men, women and
children "leap-year freaks;" but there
are exceptions to this as well as all
other rules, for we find that in Italy,
Greece and Sicily the rural provert
says referring to leap-year: plant
much corn and vine; it's (the year, good
for bread and wine"
The ancient Roman considered Feb
ruarv 20 most critical season, always
| reckoning it among the unlucky days
That this belief has not by any means
lost ground is evidenced by deep
rooted dislike parents have to a chile
being born on leap.day, it being "A pop
| uiar notion that to come into the worlc
at such an odd time is obnoxious rs sig
nifying the baby's speedy exit. A va
riety of this superstition exists in Tus
cany, and, according to piece of folk
| lore of that country, when a child il
born on leap-day either it or its mothe
will die before the end of the year.
Ilampson, in his "Medii QGvi Kalen
darium, quotes the following from al
old Saxon treatise: "Some assert tha
the bissextus or,leap-day comes through
this, that Joshua prayed to God tina
the sun might stand still for one day
length that he might sweep the heather
from the land. 1t is true that the SUI
did stand still, but the bissextus is moi

HINTS TO SLEEPERS.
someting About Position, Bed Coverings
and Bedsteads.

someting About Position, Bed Coverings
and Bedsteads.
There has been consid srable discus
sion as to what, is the best position to
lie in, in sleep Most physicians will
tell you that it is on the right side, but
here no definite direction can be given.
A weakness of the lungs may cause
the sleepers to rest more comfortably
on the left side. Again, in depressing
illnesses, the patient usually lies fiat on
his back, and this position seems, in
general, to contribute the greatest
amount of rest to the muscles, yet few
people would find it comfortable to
sleep in this position. A position which
has been advocated with considerable
show of reason is that of lying fat on
the face. All these positions have been
advocated, and probably no healthful
person sleeps altogether in either one
of them, but varies his position to all of
them during his resting hours.
The best bed coverings are light
wooden blankets The impervious cot
ton comfortables so much used are the
most unwholesome of any covering. A
hair mattress, as is conceded now, is
the very best bed, and single mattress
with set of good springs is all-sufi-
cient. Where there are two mattresses
over the springs they are not as likely
to be we'll aired, and therefore are more
likely to retain the cXhalations of sleep.
A good hair bolster is the most whole
some head rest, but many persons pre-
fer feather bolster, because they are
not used to it. Sleeping with a mum Der
of pillows under the head is certainly
injurious, as it tends to raise the head
into a cramped, unnatural position.
The fashion of double beds is one
greatly to be deprecated, and two single
beds placed side by side are taking
their place in many cases So high an
authority as the London Lancet says,
in discussing the question: Nothing
will so derange the nervous system of
a person who is eliminative in nervous
force as to lie all night in bed with an
other who is absorbent of nervous force.
The latter will sleep soundly all night
and arise refreshed in the morning,
while the former will toss restlessly,
and awake in the morning fretful,
peevish, faint-hearted and discouraged.
No two persons, no matter who they
are, should habitually sleep together
The one will thrive, the other will lose. :"

Curious history OF a silver Wine.

There is a silver mine near Sarhad, in
Afghan territory, which has curious
history. Three men were sent from
thGt country to Cabul, the residence of
the Ameer, to be executed for AN Of
Tense against the state. They told the
Ameer that if he would let them off
they would tell him Were he could find
abundant supplies of silver. The Amccr
deferred the execution and sent them
under guard to Islansham. where they
went to work digging. They and the
men who were put to work with them
dug for twenty days, finding nothing
The Ameers officer told them at length
that they could dig for seven days more
and if they did not find silver within
that time the sentence of death would
be carried out The next day they
came to very rich vein of silver, and
now about one hundred men are en-
ployed in the mines, which was visited
last summer by an English traveller. -
