The place that should be assigned to
rape in the rotation will depend on many
conditions-the use for which it is grown,
the nature of the soil and the nature of
the rotation. Like other hoed crops, it
should be grown as cleaning crop when
sown in drills; hence it is peculiarly fit
ting to grow it upon fields which require
to be cleaned. 1t will therefore more
commonly come after a grain crop and
ordinarily should be followed by another
grain crop sown with grasses and clovers.
1t may generally be grown with much
advantage after crop of winter rye
which has been pastured or cut at the
earring stage for hay or in the blossoming
stage for the silo.
In climates that are suitable and in
seasons that are sufficiently moist it will
also make good growth after early ma
turing crops. AS rape feeds ravenously
on organic matter, it usually grows well
on freshly overturned sod possessed of
sufficient moisture to terminate the seed.
1t may therefore be grown on land which
has been pastured in early spring and on
overturned clover fields after the first
cutting of the season has been removed.
AS catch crop it may be sown at any
time when opportunity offers until with
in, say, eight weeks of the close of the
growing season. As a green manure it
may also he sown at any time, but for
this purpose it is more common to sow it
in conjunction with the bare fallow or
after some crop Of the season has been
removed. The Dwarf Essex, or English
variety, shown in the cut is, according to
the authority quoted, the only kind of
rape that has hitherto proved success
as fodder plant in North America.

WATER PLANTS.
Varieties Suited to Growth In Tubs and
Pools,

Pools.
Of recent years attention has been re-
peatedly called to the odd and beautiful
water plants offered by florists. Where
ones grounds include stream or pond
these water plants are an effective fea-
ture, which, once introduced, is rarely
ever dropped Formerly these plants
were of rare occurrence on grounds of
limited extent, owing to the lack of IA
cilities for growing them and also the
high cost of the plants. Latterly the
demand has been such, however, that
florists are providing varieties easily
cared for and at prices within the reach
of the average gardener

American Cultivator says that where
sheep are kept to cat the clover growth
close to the ground there is constant
checking of the clover growth which pre-
disposes it to seeding. 1t produces a
heavier seed crop than does the common
practice of allowing the first crop tc
grow until in blossom and then cutting
it close to the ground. But If the clover
is fed off, Canada thistles and other bi
ennial weeds in it should be mown down
to the surface with scythe.

Sowing Rye.

John Gould, one Of Ohio's progressive
farmers, tells, in "a letter to Country
Gentleman. that for three years he has
been sowing more and more rye among
the corn at the last working. This year
all of the corn is sown to rye, and there
will be not only some fine fall feed, but
in the excessive Ohio fall and spring
rains there will be no washing of the
land or carrying away of fertility. Then
in the spring one has a field Of rye to
seed down to clover and save year in
the rotation, or, what is pretty well up
to clover, rye sod to turn under for Il
succeeding crop.

IN THE ORCHARD.

A Plan Suggested by Country Gentleman
For Reducing the CIoseness of Orchards.
1t sometimes happens that the owners
of limited land desire to obtain all the
benefit of closely planted trees during

RESOLUTIONS.
We desire to express our apprecia-
ton Of the program furnished by the
State Superintendent as being more
suitable for the work of our ungraded
schools than any heretofore furnish
ed.
2. We very highly appreciate the
instruction given by Professors KIM
Ter and Foulk at this institute; while
the methods of instruction given are
often above the level of the common
school and therefore impracticable.
These instructors have given us plain
practical methods which we can carry
into our ungraded schools and prac-
tice to the profit and advancement of
same.
5. The several much-needed changes
made in the school law by our State
Legislature at its last session meets
the hearty approval of the teachers
and school officers of this county.
4. We do most earnestly requ est
and urge upon our Legislature, at its
next session, to so amend the school
law that the minimum salary of a
teacher holding No. certificate be
fixed at not less than thirty-6ve dol
lars, and that the amount received
shall depend partly upon the work
done by the teacher, that the careful
painstaking and thorough teachers
may have the advantage over shiitless
and lazy ones.
S. We. the teachers Of Berkeley
County, West Virginia, do recon-
mend our State Legislature to enact
a law making attendance at school
compulsory.
6. The services OF our late superiu-
tendent, p, T. Keesecker we've worth
lily rendered and acceptable to both
teachers and public.
7. We recognize in c. c. Tabler his
thorough fitness for the position which
he occupies at the head OF the schools
of the county. and we all feel CON
strained to join hands with him for
the advancement of schools and
school interests i'll our county.

Eolling and Moving the Lawn.

While rolling is not really essential t.
beautiful lawn, it does help it consid.
erably in fine appearance and greatly in
smoothness. For croquet, tennis and
other Fairgrounds frequent rolling in
summer is also desirable, but in the case
of plain garden lawns the moving ma.
chine may give rolling enough.
In moving one makes the prettiest
work when the grass is dry. If the lawn
is mown when the grass is wet with rain
or dew. the mowings gather in wreaths
or clots. These should always be rated
up and cleared away. And whenever
there is heavy cutting the mowings
should be raked OFF
There is an idea abroad that mowings
should always be left where cut, so as to
mulch the roots of the grass from the
warm sunshine. but this is I'm erroneous
notion When the mown grass is thin,
it soon withers up, but where at all
heavy it lies in clots or mats and de.
stroys the grass plants under it, and, too,
it impedes the machine i'll the next now
ing. The finest lawns are always kept
clean from old mowings, says Gardening
in concluding the foregoing suggestions.

half are removed, while the remaining
half have all the advantages of plenty Of
space. Every tree will be surrounded
by four others at equal distances.
When two kinds of trees are planted
in the same orchard-such, for instance
as placing standard and dwarf pear trees
alternately-it is advisable to mark out
beforehand the places for the trees, SC
that in subsequently removing then
those only will be taken which are short
est lived. 1t is sometimes the practice
to plant peach trees in apple orchard;
between the apple trees, and by fixing
beforehand the places for each no breai
will lie made in their arrangement, the
apple trees remaining in regular row:
long after the peach trees are gone.

The instructors won a place in our
highest rank by the faithful discharge
of their duties, and the week was one
of great profit and pleasure. County
Superintendent Tabler proved his
natural adaptability TO the work in
hand, and has the satisfaction of
knowing that this has been one Of the
most successful institutes ever held in
Martinsburg.
We know that Prof. Kimler has
made himself very popular by the
little waves Of satisfaction ripping
over the audience when he arose. A
deep well is an emblem Of this man.
You can drink Of its cool, sparkling
waters and revive your dropping
hopes and withered ambition, without
being inflated with silly pride; you
may drink again and again, and you
will be made better and stronger for
your lile-work, without having a wall
built around lyou to keep you from
coming in contact with your fellow
creatures; just as a beautiful face
seems still more beautiful if its owner
be unconscious Of its charms.
So Prof KimIer is made more low
able by stepping down to our plane
and making himself one of us by the
modest estimate he places upon his
own brilliant requirements, by never
wearing mask, by meeting you half
way to draw out and encourage all
that is good and noble in your nature;
by taking off his coat and putting his
shou der to the wheel when there is
work to be done, without a fear that
such work is beneath his dignity, or
a thought that it might soil his
clothes.
Prof Foulk is also popular here.
He is a brilliant and fluent speaker.
never at a loss for words. which fly
like well-aimed arrows and never miss
the mark. lie has a deep analytic
mind Ia illustration he shows a
bountiful supply Of wit and humor.
that keeps your interest at fever heat
and never allows il to flag an instant.
He can do more institute work and
show less WEAKNESS than any other
instructor we ever knew. He can talk
so fast that you might as well try to
follow a streak of chain lightning
across the sky as to try TO take notes
from his lectures lie has a cult
waited voice and his musical talent
was Of inestimable value 10 us through
out the week We hope both gentle
men will come back again next year.
Most respectfully, yours,

THE ronr DOUGLAS KILLING.

Judging the matter from a civillan's

forth 10y one Of the officers at Fort

roscutaiive Tuesday, to the effect that
the killing Of tho man Leonard was
Iurtitiable, is prupostefouH and iniam'
Gus. The Victims o1onse consisted
simply In driving at n too rapid pace
through the grounds; and II will prob
ably be- argued that since lac had only
recently been soldier, aud was there
fore familiar with tho regulations ami
the penalty for their infraction, lac was
even left without the excuse that might
have been urged In oxtenuation had he
never worn the uniform. But

or even In playiulntss, the sieadiest

NEWSPAPER FAILURES.

Utah has not, oil things considered,

contrary, II has been a tolerably
good one and the great number Of
journalistic ventures that have gone

proof Is In the fact that newspapers
do not ruth into bad or utterly un'

grazing grounds, aud when these are
found more OF them move In than
there 90 grass for. That is about the
correct statement, we think; aud the
