rants its more general adoption. This
rotation involves the keeping of sufii-
cient stock to consume aud to convert
into manure the crops raised, except
ing Of course the surplus of grain,
pork, beef, wool and dairy products
sold off the farm.
After dividing the tillable land into
three fields of equal size, begin the
rotation by seeding field No. l with
wheat. In the spring SOW on this one
bushel OF clover seed and eight quarts
of timothy on every eight acres. Avoid
pasturing the clover in the fall and
until the middle of May the following
spring. Where the most timothy ap.
pears do not pasture, but cut for hay.
In August haul out the manure from
the barnyard and put in piles 12xl2
feet apart; twenty two-horse loads
will be sufficient for each one. Let
this remain piled until the following
spring, when the clover sod on which
the manure has been spread should be
broken mp and planted very early to
corn. As soon as the crop natures,
cut the corn nearly knee high and set
it up in 100-hill shocks. Before drill
ing in the wheat. harrow in the same
direction the drill is to be run. In
this way labor is economical, and the
high cut stalks when narrowed down
act as q mulch and winter protection
to the wheat plants, and also measur-
ably prevent the washing of the soil
on high points or knolls, which would
otherwise wash badly during the win
ter months. BY this plan one plow.
ing serves for three crops-one of
corn, one of wheat, and one of clover
and timothy for hay and pasture.
By such a system of rotation farm.
ing is made more profitable and pleas
ant. For, instead of breaking up q
hard, sun dried soil just after harvest,
as it isusually done in July or August,
the manure can be hauled out at leisure,
and needed rest can follow the hard
labor of haying and harvesting; vari.
Gus needed repairs can be made, the
farm implements put in order and re.
painted, and some opportunity afforded
to visit ones neighbors, meet with
farmers clubs and oranges and com.
pare notes on the problem of increas-
ing and cheapening production. -

Plarel a Trick ON Vanderbilt.

Brice's greatest play was building
the Nickel Plate. lie put in every
dollar he could get, and from any
source. There came a time, too, when,
to save himself from utter ruin, il not
something worse, he had to sell. He
went to Vanderbilt, whose road the
Nickel Plate paralleled. Vanderbilt
wouldn't buy the Nickel Plate. He
said he could afford to wait the first
mortgage foreclosure and buy it from
a Sheriff.
eff you don't buy it, Jay Gould
will, said Brice.
ooh, no, he won't" said Wander.
bilt.
Brice then went to Gould. He knew
that he didn't want the Nickel Plate,
but he had beautiful scheme to pro.
pose. He knew Vanderbilt would buy
the road before he would allow Gould
to get in. Here came Brice's strategy.
He told Gould that il he would sit
silent and not contradict, neither af-
firm nor deny, any newspaper articles
to the effect that he was going to buy
tue NlChtl lul6, ANU ulltI lllo Clhul-
like silence had continued for n week,
if he would then ride slowly over the
Nickel Plate in an observation car,
Vanderbilt would buy the road, and
he would give Gould $500,000
Gould didn't care for the $500, 900,
but he was a iocose speculator, and it
struck him that the whole thing would
be a majestic joke ON Vanderbilt. The
papers said that Gould was going to
buy the Nickel Plate. Gould, when
questioned, looked wise. At the end
of a week he meandered, snail-like,
over the Nickel Plate in the rear end
of an observation car, and had all the
air of a man who was looking at a
piece of property. Stories were wired
about Gould's trip from every water
tank and way station along the line,
and before Gould had reached Chi
cago Vanderbilt. in a fit of Mysteries,
wired Brice that he would take the
Nickel Plate. Vanderbilt took the
Nickel Plate and Brice was saved. -

Administering Ginseng.

The greatest care is taken by the
Chinese of the pieces of ginseng of the
finest quality. NJ. Hue says that
throughout China no chemists shop
is unprovided with more or less of it.
According to the account given by
Lockhart (medical missionary in
Chlna) of visit to ginseng mer-
chant, it is stored in small boxes
lined with sheet lead, which are kept
in larger boxes containing quicklime
for absorbing moisture. The pieces
of the precious drug are further in
closed in silk wrappers and kept in
little silk lined boxes. The merchant,
when showing piece barred of its
wrappings to Mr.. IIoekhart for his in.
spection, requested him not TO breathe
on or to handle it, while he dilated
on its merits, and related the marvel
Gus cures he had know it to effect.
The root is covered, according TO
quality, with the finest embroidered
silk, plain cotton cloth, or paper.
In China, ginseng is often sent to
friends as valuable present, and in
such cases there is usually presented
along the drug a small finely
finished double kettle for its prepare
tion. The inner kettle is made OF sill
yer, and between it and the outside
copper vessel is a small space for hold
ing water. The silver kettle fits in a
ring near the top of the outer cover
ing, and is furnished with cup-like
cover, in which rice is put, with
little water. The ginseng is placed in
the inner vessel, the cover put on, and
the whole apparatus set on the fire.
When the rice in the cover is cooked,
the medicine is ready, and is eaten by
the patient, who drinks the ginseng
tea at the same time.
The dose of the root is from sixty to
ninety grains. During the use of the
drug, tea.drinking is prohibited for at
least a month, without any other
change of diet. 1t is taken in the
morning before breakfast, and some
times in the evening before going to
bed. Chambers journal.

BEWARE OF TOXIC DRUGS.

Here is a rule that every man and woman
should iniieSibly adopt for guidance; Never
under any circumstances take opium or any
other toxic drug unless prescribed by an in
trlligent physician, says William Rosser
Cobpe.
There are mothers present, and l wish to
utter to them a special note OF warning. The
love they bear their children leads them to
exaggeration of the ailments Of the little
ones, and they are too prone TO resort to
medicine for their benefit. 1t Is this practice
that is responsible for the receptivity Of
young men for drugs and alcohol As have
said, these remedial agents reek with mar
cotics, and all of them contain alcohol.
Soothing cordials. drops, etc, are
the infinite curse of childhood. The mother
would be much kinder to her child If she
were to smother IL with a pillow than to give
it these noxious drugs. The cells Of the hui
man body readily adjust themselves to any
condition, and when filled with oplates in
childhood they are ready enough to take
them or whisky, any sort of a toxic, because
they all affect the cells measureably the
same, when they reach young manhood.
knowledge of u fact remains. The bodily
cells have persistent memory. They have
the faculty OF acquiring taste for anything.
Once they have learned TO like opium they
never forget the fact. The child who has
been given opium is far more likely TO ac-
quire this habit, and certainly can acquire it
infinitely more readily when he is grown up
than will one who has no acquaintance with
the drug.
Mothers, learn this fact, and bear it always
in mind. Do not go TO the sin of the father for
the inebriety Of your sons. II a man is a
drunkard or opium habtue, inquire what
kind of medicines were given him as a child.
1t is in the nursery too frequently and not In
the saloon that drunkards are made.-Yine-
land Outlook.

''Not much. II is easier to take
two men than one. I'll show you how

ined he was King of England, to one
sido and confded TO him;
"Hour Majesty, that man over
there, indicating the man who thought
his head was an eight-day clock, ''is
as crazy as bedbug, and is liable to
hurt some of your subjects il he gets
loose. I want you to help me take
care of him till can lock him up in
the asylum"
"That's an unseemly occupation for
the King of England. Bah Attend
ant to the insane l' remarked the dis
gusted monarch. "But 1 will do it.
like adventure You will take due
precautIon to conceal my identity or
your head will be tho price of your
,arelossness.

,lock.
'Do you see that fellow over
here" indicating the king. "Well,
As's crazy, and if you don't keep your
'eoe toward him he's liable to stop
your hands and touch off your alarm.
Now, l want you to help me watch
him till can land him in the asylum.
Then you can run right along.
When the deputy left the hospital the
king and the clock had locked arms
and we're hanging to each other des.
perately. The deputy smoked and
read all the way to Ukiah, while th,
insane men took care of each other. -

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 a drought occurs, as the
sucker is always later in blossoming
and will furnish pollen after the bios
