Why We Rotate CrOns.

We have concluded that plants of I'M
like feeding capacities should follow each
other A prominent feature of a rotation
based upon this principle should be the
alienation of hard with partial and with
easy nitrogen gathering crops. The gem
eral knowledge that nitrogen of plants
costs more than the other elements COM
bined sufficiently enforces the reason for
this specialization of a rotation, saws Prof
J. w. Sanborn, who is now editing the
farm department of the Mirror and Farm
err such rotation will lessen fertilizer
bills as well as enlarge crops We have
SHOWN that clover leaves nitrogen enough
IN its roots to feed crop of wheat That
wheat has an exceedingly low power to
gain nitrogen from natural sources is
demonstration so thorough that delay for
It's proof is unnecessary. The other
grain crops have a low power to gain
nitrogen and as well as wheat should
follow crop that has fair capacity to
lean upon nature for its nitrogen SUPPORT.
Corn growing in tie hot season and DO

nitrogen gathefers. Experiments have
shown that from two-ffths to one-half

special information in relation 10 the prop
ef attenuation l,n OF crops we shall give in
other places at another time, leaving the
outline of the law to stand for our pres

one OF the more prominent values of
rotation is derived from the frequent al
terations of hoed, tillage, half tillage and
non-tillage crops. Upon this factor we
lean rather heavily in our practice AL
though under tillage we have before given
some reasons sustaining this system, vet

his living from his little farm, his future
would have been secure.
A farm of 10 acres can be made to pro-
duce all of most things a large family
needs. and can be run at small expense.
To begin with, a driving horse and two
cows can be kept ON it, at small expense,
an the horse will give world of pleas
ure to the family, while the cows, if SO
managed that one is fresh in the spring
and the other in the fall, will furnish milk
and cream in abundance, and ought in
addition to furnish all the butter needed.
Then quarter of an acre of poultry yard
stocked with 40 SO hens will give eggs
and chickens in abundance, and a few
turkeys for Thanksgiving and the holidays.
An acre in garden and small fruit will
furnish vegetables and fruits sufficient for
the family wants that there will be a
constant succession from the time aspara-
gus comes in April until winter sets in,
and then the cellar will be stocked with
canned fruits and vegetables to last
through the winter. Allowing two acres
of land for pasture. one for garden and
truck patch, which includes small fruits,
and half an acre for ornamental grounds
around the house, we have six and half
acres left to cultivate.
What to grow on this depends on circum-
stances. If the farm is located, it
should be, near a town, where plenty of
manure. can be had these acres may be
to the soil and market, such as potatoes,
Irish or sweet, or it can be farmed in a
three year rotation-one-third corn, one
third clover and one-third oats wheat.
Or six or seven acres of such a farm can
be seeded to permanent pasture, and by
growing soiling crops on two acres
of the remainder Of it, herd of six or
eight Jersey cows can be kept, and either
fancy butter or cream sold so as to realize
from $50 to 500 per COW year.
There are many ways in which such a
farm can be run SO to give a fair
profit and satisfaction will be found in so
profit satisfaction will be found in SO
managing it that the family will get a
great variety from it, and the table never
be without home grown products. The
rent of comfortable house in a good
neighborhOOd in a city would probably cost
the interest on twice large sum as
one would need to invest in a 10-acre farm
with good buildings and conveniences. Be
careful about locating wisely. Remember
that you have been accustomed to getting
your daily paper promptly, and to hearing
from the postofice twice a day, or often
err; and neither you nor your family will
be cOntented on a mud road, remote from
railroad and pOstoffice. Buy only good
land: if you are not a judge, get some
experienced farmer in whom you have con-
fidence to help you select your future
home. Locate on a good road, not more
than 10 minutes drive from a good live
town. Keep the larger part of your
means safely invested where it will bring
an income outside of your farming, and
you may enjoy all the pleasures of country
life with little risk or worry.

The Farm as Il Home.

l frequently receive letters, and some
times visits, from men who have accumu-
lated modest fortune as merchants or
manufact urers, but who love country life
and wish my advice to whether or not
they had better venture to buy farm,
and depend on it for support. These men
usually love the country, and want the
freedom from care which they hope to find
on farm, but are totally without expert
ence as farmers. Such men usually make
a fatal mistake if they put all their means
into farm and depend on it for the sup
port of their families l would never adj
wise this unless the man had been raised
on a farm and had gained some expert
ence in early life which he could bring
back with him to the farm.
l have in mind now a sad case of a sue
cessful merchant of Cincinnati, who ten
years or more ago bought a farm of some
1000 acres investing about $50, 900 in it, His
family were accustomed to luxuries and to
living In good style, and neither they nor
ne realized that the income of the farm
would not be sufficient for this. In fact
the net income of the farm was next to
nothing, for the man knew nothing about
farming, and had to hire all his work
done, and that by men whose only inter
est was to put in their time and get their
pay. He also made large expenditures in
buildings and various improvements, until
his surplus capital about all gone
In few years he found himself hopelessly
in debt, and awoke to the fact that he
could not make anything from the farm
FINALLY debts began to press, and the farm
was sold, and it brought about one-third
of what he had paid for it, and when his
debts were paid there was little left. This
was about three years ago, and 1 met an
Old neighbor of his a few days since, who
told me that all the property was gone
and the once prosperous merchant was
now supported by son who had entered
the ministry.
l should lay it down as rule that the
map who tries to farm on a large scale
with all or most of his means invested
and who has had no training in that line
will make failure of it nine times out OF
ten. Is there, then, no way in which a
man can enjoy the pleasures of farm life
without running the risk of failure? / be-
lieve there is And the way is for him I,

James Draper, former master of the Mas
sachusctts state grange, has told the public
in lecture how to organize grange. We
extract report of his lecture from The
Homestead:
1.-The number required to secure charter
is not less than nine men and four women,
nor more than 20 men and 20 women. The
membership fee for charter members is s.
for men and 81 for women. The regular
monthly dues are 10 cents for each member.
This sum may be increased if the amount
received is not sufficient to pay the ex-
penses, such as hall rent printing, station
cry, etc. There no other demands upon
the membership of the order.
.'Of the sum received at the organization
of the grange SIS goes to the national
grange for charter. The balance remains
in the treasury, except that the deputy or
ganizer is entitled to d reasonable COM
pensation for his services and expenses OF
the sum received for dues from it's men,
bers. each grange pays to the state grange
20 cents year for each member on it's roll
book OF the money thus received by the
state grange one-fourth of the amount goes
to the national grange to defray the eX-
penses of that body, and the balance is
used to meet the running expenses Of the
state orga niZa tion
After securing the cooperation Of per-
sons in favor of organizing a grange write
to the master secretary some deputy
of the state grange for the necessary
blanks, and make an appointment for him
to meet the company at a convenient place,
to explain the principal objects of the order
and the benefits to be secured to members
through united effort. If sufficient number
are present and are ready to organize a
grange, the deputy can proceed at once and
perfect the organization at that meeting
During the time intervening before the re-
option of the proper documents from the
national grange, board of officers can be
elected. hall or other suitable place for
holding the meeting selected, and the va
rous committees appointed. A week or 10
days after the first meeting the documents
having arrived and officers chosen. another
meeting is called for the installation of of
hcers. at which time the deputy will be
present to perform that ceremony and give
all necessary instruction in organic law
and rltualistic work of the order''

Well, this unique letter did reach its
destination February 14th, and when
Prudy and her mother, after some delay
over the chirography, made out its con-
tents they laughed, cried and laughed
againl
Such valentines, they we're sure, were
seldom carried by Uncle Sans mailsl
Prudy felt a great throb of relief when
she thought of the bracing mountain
air, of which they had heard so much,
and which the doctor had suggested
again and again for her mother.
After some consultation with their
friends they decided to 60 the middle
of April. Prudy had written a warm
letter of thanks to their benefactor,
and he with the enthusiasm Of boy
was preparing home and reception
that they little dreamed of!
The people of o. would have car
ried Joe Horton around on their should
ers, had he appeared in their midst.
Not only was he the hero, the patron
saint Of Valentines day, but he con-
tinued to be the talk of the town for
many months to come.
The good doctor of o. and the
old whitehaired pastor of the church
wrote him letters, letters such as made
Joe feel like king upon throne!
Life wore an aspect it had never worn
before in Joe Horizons experienced
Sending valentines had indeed been
like sowing seed on we'll prepared
ground!
Mr.. and Mrs. Gibbs, who were to be
their near neighbors, Joe and Miry
Ellen Saunders were at the train to
meet them. Mrs. Bristow had borne
the fatigue of the long journey well.
The pleasant anticipation of new scenes
and the hope of getting better had
given her an endurance unexpected.
Prudy was radiantly hap y. She longed
to pain: every inch of the way that had
been traversed, paint it in great,
glorious valentine and give it to Joe.
