Two Year Three Crop Rotation.

Following is report Of successful
trial Of three crop rotation in two years
on the University farm at Columbus, o.
A crop Of clover was out for hay about
June 10 last. The land was plowed
June 1915, put In good condition and
planted to corn for fodder and ensilage.
The corn was cut in September, giving
a yield Of about 9K tons per acre. The
land was easily put in condition and
sown to wheat. In this case an old clover
sod was the starting point, but It could
AZ we'll have been 1-year. old crop. II
it is desired to continue this rotation,
clover can be sown next spring in the
wheat
II will be noticed that the ground is
plowed but once for the three crops One
objection to the plan is that this plow-
ing comes in a busy time and when the
weather is often hot. The time of plant
ing is late, but not too late to secure a
good crop for ensilage or dry fodder
Generally little cultivation after the
corn has started would be necessary. II
there should be o failure to secure a
stand Of clover, corn could be planted
earlier in the spring.

Fire Losses ON Farms.

It is generally believed that the
houses, barns and other buildings on
farms are seldom destroyed by fire, but
the statistics show that they are very
frequently destroyed, generally because
there are no adequate means at hand to
put out farm fire when it is once
started One-fourth Of the farm fires are
of unknown origin, one-fifth are caused
by lightning, about one-tenth are Of
known incendiary origin, one-sixth are
caused by defective f1ues in farm dwell
ings, nearly per cent are caused by
bad stoves or stovepipes, one-eleventh
are caused by sparks on roofs; children,
kerosene, carelessness with matches,
lights in barns and spontaneous COM
bustion cause about per cent each;
while the other fires may originate from
gasoline stoves, locomotive and steam
thrasher sparks, furnaces, fireplace and
open CRATES, smokehouses, ashes in wood
en- receptacles and other causes.
Farmers usually insure their build
ings for full value, but carry little in
surance on their removable contents
There are many total losses. Insurance.
men generally charge a higher rate on
barns than on dwellings and discrimi.
nate between old and new structures.
between we'll and poorly constructed
buildings, between good and bad Chin
neys, between unincumbered property
and that with an ironclad mortgage, be-
tween property occupied by the owner
and that by tenant, and between large
breeding barns with numerous en-
ployees and those which are tended by
the owner and his family. The farmer
should provide the best possible means
for extinguishing fires which may arise
on his property. Too much care cannot
be taken with all inflammable oils and
other materials, with matches, tobac.
co, ashes and lights. Orange Judd

The seeds should first be nil mixed to-
gether and sown upon the rye as early
as the ground is dry in the spring. The
ground should then be narrowed with a
light harrow to cover the seeds, and then
ryewould have to be harvested. No pas
turing should be given the same season.
The following spring the field should be
ready for being permanently pastured,
or pastured at least for number of
years. If any grasses are to be omitted
from the above mixtures, leave out Or
chard grass, meadow fescue and alfalfa
If necessary. If a dry season and the
grass seeds perish. SOW to rye again and
try the grasses once more OH the same
lines. When the stand Of grass is Sc
cured, it may be maintained by top
dressing with farmyard manure in the
winter. For eastern conditions the plan
Of grassing down poor land would be
different in some important essentials.

Both Simple and Effective.

Both Simple and Effective.
On grassing down poor lands the nrst
aim should be to get moro vegetable
matter into the soil. When lands pos.
sess sufficiency Of vegetable matter,
they are not poor. When we can get
such matters into the soil, tits not only
richer, but it has greater power to re-
tain moisture, and this in the west and
northwest Is Of inestimable Importance
While several modes Of procedure may
be given, single one is here selected as
being both simple and effective. II Is
suggested by Thomas Shaw Of the Min
nesota experiment station. He writes as
follows concerning the matter to Prairie
Farmer:
The land could 10 plowed in the early
autumn and sown with rye. If the sea.
son proves favorable, the rye could be
pastured by sheep i'll tho spring, but II
the growth proves feeble then it
should not be pastured, for it should
be the chief aim at this stage to put
vegetable matter into the ground.
Whether it has been pastured or not. the
rye should be turned under when it has
reached the curing stage ani the land
at once sown with buckwheas. The buck
wheat should then be turned under when
it is In blossom and the land sown
again with winter rye The order then
will be grass seeds sown in the spring
upon the rye. These may include tiino.
thy, blue grass, orchard grass, and it
may be meadow fesoue among the grasses
and alfalfa, common red, alsike, white,
Dutch and yellow or trefoil among the
clovers. Tho proportion to be sown will
vary with conditions, but the following
quantities Of seed per acre may be men.

CHICAGO. Dec. 9.-The appellate

decision in the case of Waldeck Lodge,

where the lodge was suspended because
OF ita using a German translation of

writ of mandamus to compel the
restoration of all its rights and the COM
munication of the password. Upon q

KEEPING IT QUIET
Note From Salisbury to Olney
Has Been Delivered by
Pauncefote,
-,
But All the Officials Refuse to
Give Any Hint Of Its
Contents.
Supposed to Be Awaiting the Pc.
rusal of the President on
His Return Home.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-The reply OF
Lord Salisbury to Secretary Olney's
note of instructions to Ambassador
Bayard relative to the Venezuelan
boundary dispute was delivered to Sec
retary Olney at noon. Donelson, the
messenger of the British embassy, came
early to the state department with a
note from Sir Julian Pauncefote, asking
for an appointment to see the secretary.
This was arranged speedily, and Sir
Julian presented the note in person to
the secretary, the ambassador himself
reading its contents to Mr.. Olney, as is
the custom when important documents
are presented.
For some reason the state department
officials took steps to prevent the fact
that the note had been delivered from
gaining publicity, but without avail.
At the British embassy, there was the
same indisposition to give any publicity
to the proceedings. All inquiry as to
the nature of the note failed to secure a
response from any official, and it prob
ably will be preserved as an official Sc
cret as far as the Washington authori-
ties are concerned, until the president,
upon his return, has had an opportunity
to consider it and send it to congress,
but it is known that it is on the same
general lines indicated in the Associated
Press dispatches of this week.
An Evasive Answer.
There was pretty general discussion
of Venezuelan affairs among the mem
bers Of the house during the day. The
general opinion among those who will
have the conduct of foreign affairs in
charge in the house is that Lord Sails.

ritory, VIII deny the right Of the United
States to ask Great Britain to arbitrate
as to territory, the ownership Of which
Great Britain claims is hers beyond dis
pute. In other words, it is believed
that Great Britain's reply will tenn
porize with the subject and simply oper
the way for further correspondence.
