Rules of Rotation.

Enough has been stated to show the
necessity of change of crops, and the
following are found to be the best rules
to observe in practice:
1. Crops of the same species and even
of the same natural order, should not
succeed each other.
2. Plants with perpendicular roota
should succeed those with spreading
and superficial roots, and vice versa.
8. Crops which occupy the soil for
several years, like asparagus, rhubarb,
etc., should be followed by those OF
short duration.
4. Two crops alike favorable to the
growth of weeds should not occupy
the soil in succession.
s. Crops abstracting largely from the
soil the sulphates and phosphates and
nitrogenous principles should not fol.
low each other Immediately, but bc
succeeded by those which draw less
from the soil and more from the atmo
sphere. These exhausting crops
should follow and be followed by those
which bear and will profit by heavy
manuring.
8. Plants grown for their roots OF
bulbs should not follow those growr
for the same purpose; and still less
should plants grown for their seeds
follow each other directly in success

3 bushels cotton seed equals; 1900 lbs,

Allowing that a farmer carries his
seed to the mill and gives the oil as
toll he should carry back with him
the $50 pounds OF meal and 975 pounds
of hulls. 1t is common question
whether this is profitable exchange
for the farmer. OF course it is de-
batable question.
While cotton seed can be fed with
safety to cattle, still we believe If the
truth were known great many
deaths have been caused indirectly
from cattle eating the lint that re-
mains attached to the seed. Admit
ting that in no instance has single
head OF stock been injured in the least
by the oil in the seed, it is an accepted
fact that the oil has no value as food.
1t is pure carbon and beyond supplying
little temporary heat has no other
effect.
Undoubtedly farmer can feed more
economically in using meal and hulls
than in feeding merely the raw seeds.
In exchanging the seeds for the meal,
the farmer does not dispose of any of
the valuable elements-nitrogen, pot
ash and phosphoric acid. The $50
pounds of meal contain within small
fraction all the nitrogen that was in
the ton of seed.
What price should cotton seed com
mand when cotton-seed meal is held at
BE- per ton? We find that at u cents
per bushcl and ton Of seed costs at the
mill just $40,

At these relative values the mill
would get the $50 pounds Of oil Too aals
Ions, about to pay the cost of grind
ing, not taking into consideration the
few pounds Of lint that is taken from
the seed. At 20 cents gallon for the
crttde oil, this would give the mill 80
per ton profit Oh working up eex
bushels Of seed, nearly 10 Gents profit
on each bushel.
Whether that is too much profit fof
the mill to make is question we can
not answer. If called upon for SIM
pie expression Of opinion we would
say that 1t was not and from the fact
that we would rather have the $50

What is proper and safe ration Of
cotton-seed meal for milch cows
IT depends upon the size OF the anil
NAL to some extent.
At some OF the experiment stations
as much as six or seven pouiids per
day has been fed to cows without any
perceptible bad effects.
But it is substance that should not
be fed for any length OF time by itself
even to the half of that quantity. Not
over two and half or three pounds
should be fed to any COW, however
large, and this quantity should besfed
in connection with something that Is
poor in nitrogen. A mixture of cotton
seed meal, corn meal and wheat bran
makes more desirable ration than the
meal by itself.
II any of our readers have had an
extended experience in feeding cotton
seed meal and the hulls we should be
glad to have them give their conclu-
sions.

Alfred Cellier, the composer of "Dor-

manager to compose the music for n new
pantOmime The librettist, whom Collier
had never met, was an eccentric person
whose business was superintendent of a
cemetery and who wrote pantomimes in
his leisure hours. In Manchester there are
two cemeteries close together, and the cab
man took Cellier to the wrong one. "Ah"
said Alfred, with a light comedy manner,

to desperation. "On what date?" Cellier
took up his walking stick, determined to
be ready for any emergency, and said: 81

it will be on Boxing Day; that is the day
on which pantomimes are generally pro

desk, seized the ruler, and, with his eyes
steadily fixed on Cellier's, got behind an

him, and Cellier heard him call-out of a
