That no more than one-third the farm

That a rota+ion of crop for six years is
the best for our county. 5. The rota.
ton should be as follows: Two years in
corn, one year in oats, two years in
meadow, one year in pasture. 6. That
a permanent pasture made on the native
sod is best. Z. A pasture that will not

corn is preferable. 0. That shallow cul-
tiyation is recommended when the land

between the rows the capabilities of the

possible to make use Of horsepower in

Best Soils For the Potato.
The conclusion arrived at BIZ The
American Agriculturist, and based On
reported results from many and varying
sections of the country, is that the best
soils for the profitable growing of the
potato are light gravelly or sandy loam,
or those varying between a sandy and a
clay loan, enriched by the sediment
and remains Of former alluvial deposits
Oh decayed vegetable matter, new lands,
those lately cleared and burned over,
and limestone soils. Naturally unfavor-
able land may be rendered satisfactory
by proper preparation. A strong olay

and fertilized with mineral manures or
worn soils brought up by a generous ap-
plication Of stable manure, wood ashes
or special fertilizers may be regarded
as in suitable condition 10 produce a
good yield of potatoes.
In no clayey soil can the potato be
grown to perfection as regards quality.
Grown on dry, new land, the potato
cooks fine and mealy, possessing a rich
and agreeable favor not to be attained
in potatoes grown ON older soils. A
thin but fertile soil, resting upon a re-
tentiye clay or slaty subsoil, is not de-
sirable for potatoes, even though arti-
Sciallv drained Good DRAINAGE il in
dispensable to successful culture. A nat
urally drained, loose, mellow, clover
sod or fine stubble after stiff sod is the
best possible type of a potato growing

results. No doubt a robbery had

ami he found that men of culture
and Of means were ready 10 cooper
ate heartily in such an undertaking.
This fact lends encouragement 10
those who are hoping for great things
TO come from the development of the
arid region.
The site of the Greeley colony was
not well chosen, or at least il did
not in all respects meet the expecta-
tons of those who selected il. They
were therefore unable 10 realize all
their plans. They made some serious
miscalculations. For instance, they
estimated the cost of their canals at
$40, 900, while the actual cost was
more than twenty times as great
Fruit culture was mentioned in the
prospectus as certain to be an i'm
p5rtant industry, but the soil and
climate proved unsuitable. The
dre~n of an improved household
economy, based IN a plan for coop
erative bakeries and laundries, also
proved delusive. There were other
disappointments, but the fundamen-
tai claims of irrigation were all win
dioated at Greeley, as they have been
whenever and wherever brought
fairly to the test.
A few years of intelligent labor
brought a high degree of average
prosperity, based upon substantial
foundations. Even the severe panic
of the summer of 1893 did not ma
terially disturb these foundations.
During those trying weeks, when
mines and smelters shut down and
banks and stores closed their doors,
water, soil and sunshine continued
to do their perfect work in the Un-
ion colony. Greeley seemed like an
oasis of prosperity in a desert of de-
spair. The farmers received as the
reward of the summers labor more
than 81, 600, 0o0 in cash for the single
item of potatoes. But this is the
chief crop at Greeley after the ne
cessities of life have been provided
for, and the wide reputation and
handsome financial returns won for
the Greeley potato illustrate the wis
dom of a surplus crop of the highest
quality.
Greeley's civic institutions are like
her potatoes. They represent the
best standard available and are the
pride of the people. To sell any kind
of intoxicating liquor within the
boundaries of the Union colony in
validates the title TO the soil. This is
oneof the origina! plans which work
ed well, and the schools, churches,
libraries and lyceums are all in keep
ing with this high standard of pub
lie morals. A careful study of the
development of Greeley, alike in its
social and industrial aspects, would
throw much more light upon the
problems of arid America, but this
cannot be entered upon NOW.

A CLEVER HORSE.
II Weeds the Garden as Well as Any Gar

Henry Moore, a planter living near

When Kit was ? Toang colt, he had

and having occasion tocbopit out pretty
frequently, he hit upon a plan by which
he might be relieved Of this almost end
less work during Kits confinement.
The colt had always seemed remark
ably quick and intelligent, and with @
very little training Moore taught him TO
pull grass as ~cleverly and neatly as it
could be done by hand. In a short while

The Duck and the Hen.

The question is repeatedly asked,
Which is the more profitable, the duck
or the hen? In order to decide this mat
ter an enterprising poultryman, p. II.
Jacobs, Hammonton, N. j., made a test.
The result is reported as follows:
At a week old the duckling weighed
4 ounces, while the chick only reached 2
ounces. AZ 2 weeks old the duckling
reached 0 ounces, and the chick got up
to 4 ounces. At 3 weeks, duckling
1 pound; chick, 81 ounces AT 4
weeks, duckling l pound 0 ouncesi
chick, 10 ounces. At 8 weeks, duck
ling 2 pounds 2 ounces: chick. Z
ounces. At 6 weeks old, duckling Q
pounds IL ounces; chick, l pound 81
cunces. At Z weeks old, duokling 8
pounds 5 ounces; chick, / pound ~
ounces. At s weeks old, duckling 4
pounds; chick, l pound IL ounces. 1t
8 weeks old, duckling A pounds s
ounces; chick, 2 pounds.
So it can be seen that in the same
time the weight Of the chick was
doubled by that of the duck. The prices
for dressed carcasses run very close to
each other, SO that the increased price
per pound makes the profits on the duck
greater, although it takes about twice
the amount of food to grow them.
