le New Worthwhile Reservoir
Breaks Away.


The reservoir of about $4,000
gallons capacity, just completed at
Morrisville, under contract, by the
village trustees, with Charles L.
Woodbury. of Burlington, broke Sun
day night of last week, the water
pouring in torrents across the frozen
fields to Potash brook. There re-
mains in the reservoir about three
feet Of water. The job Of construc-
ton, whether yet accepted or not was
guaranteed by the contractor. AS the
Village has two smaller reservoirs
there is still a supply Of water, but
this break means deal of damage.
The break is in the west wall, extend-
inc 70 feet, and it is thought the wall
was not constructed heavy enough to
withstand the pressure. 1t will prob
ably be repaired in the spring.
Mayor Woodbury. says the cause OF
the break was that the overflow pipe
nut in by the trustees was not large
enough to carry Off the water 50 that
the water washed behind the concrete,
washing the earth away.

HOW TO DRY WOOD.
The Plan Successfully Pursued by an Ohio
Farmer.

Ane Fian successfully Pursued by an Ohio
Farmer.
In the early autumn had quantity
OF wood sawed, stove length but not
split. In early December got time to
split it, and as it was likely to be
wanted for the fire before spring set
about drying it, which is not an easy
matter, as every farmer knows. 1
adopted plan which worked well on a
former occasion, and which is illus
trated in the drawing.
1t simply consists in piling the wood
"cob-house" fashion, the sticks being
piled in pantagon or hexagon form, the
latter being the best, the piles being
built as high as one can reach. The
piles may be in double rank with cor
ners just touching, SO as to give mutual
support, and wide boards may be placed
on top of each row slanting outward so
as to shed the rain away from the
wood. Bark may be used, or the top of
each pile finished with wood laid close
with a rapid slope toward the outer
side of the pile. Even without cover,
wood laid up in such piles dries very
rapidly, wind, sun and air, as well as
frost, having full chance at each stick.

ROTATION OF CROPS.
A Practice That Assists in the Thorough
determination OF Weeds.

A Practice That Assists in the Thorough
determination OF Weeds.
Rotating the farm with different
crops serves not only to prevent loss OF
fertility, but also assists in killing
weeds with no extra cost than that re-
quired for cultivating the crop that
may be grown during the season. Corn
has proved of as much value to farmers
in compelling them to kill weeds as il
has in providing grain and fodder, and
if farm should be devoted wholly to
the crops that are drilled or broad
casted, and which cannot be cultivated
such as wheat, rye, barley and oats
there would arrive time when weeds
would have full possession. To pre-
vent this condition of affairs the farms
are made to grow crops that must OF
necessity be cultivated, and in so doing
there is saving of labor in the killing
of weeds
The rotation with corn as the only
cultivated crop, however. is too limited,
as the land is thus made to produce
grain of some kind every year, which is
detrimental, as depriving it of certain
plant foods and leaving an excess, COM
paratively, of that which cannot be
utilized by grain crops
One cause of weeds fourishing on
some soils is that they thrive on plant
foods left over by the grain crops, a
condition which renders the soil impov-
erished for other grain crops, yet very
fertile for weeds because the weeds
are able to get a good start, make
rapid growth, secure abundant moist
ure below the surface and deprive the
land of that which was not utilized by
the crops, the result being that the soil
is still further impoverished. This
may be prevented by growing root
crops after corn, to be followed by
clover or some grass crop.
No two crops of the same kind should
be grown on the land in succession, and
a crop that is sowed or drilled should
be followed by planted crop the next
year, to keep the soil clean. Wheat,
corn, oats, potatoes, corn and clover,
followed by wheat again, is rotation
practiced by many progressive farmers;
but turnips, carrots, beets, cabbage,
millet and peas or beans are added to
the list whenever it can be done with
advantage. e.-Colmans Rural World.

Just what constitutes early maturity
