THE BEST THREE-F1rLp ROTATION.

The proper rotation of crops is q
necessity, mentions w. NJ. King. The
seed producing ones should be alter
mated with the nitrogen-gathering
ones. Rotation is valuable in aiding
in the destruction of noxious weeds,
but must be varied to be effective.
For instance, two years or more OF
corn or other hoed crops will be found
to be necessary for the destruction OF
the wild morning glory or bindweed.
Insect enemies are also frequently de-
stroyed by a rotation that interferes
with their natural habits. The same
is true of diseases which attack crops
when repeatedtoo often upon any soil.
Where wheat, corn aud hay are the
cash crops. and q period of rest from
the constant production of corn is re-
quired, the following threefield sys-
tenn is the one that have found to be
best adapted for general farming in
southern Ohio. The constant annual
improvement Of the soil under it war

PLANTING APPLE ORCHARDS.

An agricultural contemporary finds
fault because large proportion of the
apple orchards planted either die out
or never yield any profit to their own
ers. This is no doubt true, but if all
the trees planted lived and had good
care the market would be glutted with
fruit all the time and every season,
and no grower could make II profit
upon his investments. 1t is much bet
ter as it is, for now the industrious,
intelligent fruit grower has chance
OF securing something for his labor,
because his competitors are so few
and scattering. When all mankind
becomes equally intelligent and in
dustrious there will be much less in
centive to labor than at the present
time. New York Sun.

IMPROVING PASTURES.

Now there are just two important
points to this matter-first, to make
more grass grow, and, secondly, not
to eat it all up-that is, leave all the
roots of the grass and little of the
top on the ground when you take the
stock off the pasture. To accomplish
the first point I have never tried any
method that pleased me better than
sowing buckwheat and seeding down
at the same.
I have to-day July 81 just sowed
about eight acres with buckwheat and
seeded same with timothy and clover
so you see l practice my own teach
ing. My ground was plowed in the
fall and again in spring after corn
planting, and by repeated harrowings
was kept mellow and free from weeds,
and is now, in spite of the severe
drought, moist, and in good condition
to make seed grow.
The grass seed sowed at this time of
year must be covered to make a sue
cess. SOW buckwheat and harrow
once, and then SOW grass seed and har
row again. have always got good
catch of grass in this way.
If soil is very poor, it would be best
to use a little manure, but it needs
only as thin coat as can be spread
on the ground. But ii soil is moder-
ately fertile, the thorough tillage OF
this system will make success with.
out any manure.
Some will raise an objection to my
choice of grass, and / would say to
such that l only let any of my pasture
ground that can be plowed lie in
grass two or three years. -Cultivator
and Country Gentleman.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Blue in all shades is popular just
now.
Watch for vermin and rout it at the
first approach.
See that the fowls and chicks have
constant supply of water these days.
Keep ahead of the weeds IN the
onion beds by free use of the wheel
hoe.
So far this season we have had re-
markably good success with our young
chicks.
Keep the hen houses clean and sweet.
Fresh earth bountifully spread under
the roosts is wonderful help towards
the latter.
Try tablespoonful of nitrate soda
to each cabbage plant, scattering it
we'll around.
Sharp teeth will cause the horse to
form the habit of letting its tongue
hang out of it's mouth. Look out for
them.
Do the flies bother the colts very
much? Better keep them in during
the day and put them out in the pas
ture at night.
Vaccination of the calves against
''blackleg" and of the Older cattle
against anthrax is now advocated in
some quarters.
Feed the little chicks what they will
eat up clean. Do it as often as they
will do their part-three, five or even
seven times day.
If farmers would keep brood mare
or two and raise a choice colt each
year there would be more money in
farming for them.
1t is claimed by one who has tried
it that the application of hot linseed
oil will tighten up the loose felloes Of
wagon and keep them tight.
Examine the feet of the horses
often. If the shoes are inside the rim
of the foot, take that horse to the
shop at once or you will have a corn.
The shipping of pregnant animals
to the stock yards is not profitable. 1t
is unlawful, and the sooner farmers
guard against it. the better for their
purses.
With the good price of beef and
hides it would seem good policy for
the farmer to buy his harness soon
before the inevitable high price OF
leather arrives.
L. r. Jones, of the Verm ont Sta.
tion, advises the hot water method of
treating oat seed, not only for the i'm
mediate benefit, but for the eradica.
tion of smut from future crops.
Give the work horses run in the
pasture at night. 1t will do them
great deal of good, but you must feed
them just the same. If you expect
them to work don't take the grain
away from them.
Brood sows properly managed de-
termine the profit in the herd of
swine. One-third should be over
thirty months of age, one-third over
twenty months. and the remainder
over ten months of age to insure fair
success.

fected chinch bugs to such farmers as
ask tor them, hoping in this way to
suppress the chinch bug ravages which
SO seriously threaten the wheat crop in
Eastern Kansas.
Clean the feet out thoroughly with
a foot-hook every day when the horses
come in from work. Then when the
horse is cool put the feet in pail Of
water and wash them. It will only
take a few minutes and will keep the
feet in good condition.
The best time to cut any grass for
hay is just when the seed is about to
form. Cutting should never be de-
ferred until the seeds are dry, as the
plant is in the best condition for
stock when in the milky stage, the
nutritious matter being then arrested
in the stalks.

Capturing the markets OF the world
on any such basis as this, where we

hardly be profitable undertaking for

out in this statement, because, although

ChicagO's Collapsed Fad.

Material of which John Brown s
tort and Abraham Lincoln's 10 cabin
were made is now stacked up in a
couple of barns in Chicago. 1t is a
very good thing indeed that the
amusement schemes which were re-
sponsible for the moving to tits city
of tho two structures mentioned
fniled. Neither building should have
been moved from the original site,
which along gave it interest.

The Value of Hops,

While our exports of American
grown hops were practically the same
quantity during the eleven months
ending May 81, 1894 and 1895, the
value received during the later period
was less than one-hslf OF what was
paid year earlier. Hops that sold at
thirty cents a pound for export in
1898 were, early in 1894, worth less
than fifteen cents a pound to ship
abroad after the markets of the world
we're thrown open to us.

SUCKERS ON CORN.

The practice of pulling off the suck
srs from growing corn is much less
common than it used to be. The
sucker cut while young is not worth
anything as feed. aud if left its leaves
gather carbon from the air and make
1t valuable. The origin of the sucker
is an injury to the original plant. If
this occurs early enough the suckers
will have more or less ears. They
also help the ears on the main stalk
to fill when drought occurs, as the
sucker is always later in blossoming
and will furnish pollen after the bios

How TO MARKET BEErs.

New beets for market should be
clean, sound and even sized-large
and very small ones should be kept
for home use-and carefully tied in
punches of five. The tops should be
kept on, as untrimmed beets look and
sell better than the trimmed, and
many people use the tops as spinach,
for which they are fair substitute. -

1t is unnecessary to remind the
American people that they we're to
capture the markets of the world as
soon as the wall OF protection was
broken down and they could reach out
beyond the confines Of the markets of

written upon this subject by the free

full of promises. Now let as look at
the practical side of it.
At the present time the only details
Of our exports of American products
for the fiscal year ending June 80,
1895, that have been issued by the
Bureau of Statistics of the Treasury
Department are those relating to min
sral oils, breadstuffs, cotton and pro-
visions. The official returns show the
quantities and values of each of these
commodities that have been exported
TO foreign countries during this and
the previous fiscal years.
Instead Of there having been large
increase in our exports during the 1895
year, ten months of which period the
German tariff was in operation,
strange to say our official statistics
show that we have been selling less OF
our products in the markets of the
world since our wall of protection was
broken down, and that the promises
made by the free trade writer's were
