ARTIFICIAL AID TO THE MEMORY.
Systems Have Been In Existence Snce the
Days of Ancient Egypt.

Systems Have Been In Existence SINCE the
Days of Ancient Egypt.
The art Of rendering artificial aid to
the memory by associating in the mind
things difficult to remember with those
which are easy of recollection is said
to have originated with the Egyptians
The first person to reduce it to a sys-
tenn was, according to Cicero, the poet
Simonides, who lived 500 years B. c.
His plan is known as the topical or
locality plan, and is outlined by the
Philadelphia Times as follows: Choose
a large house with a number of differ
emily furnished apartments in it. I'm
press upon the mind carefully all that
is noticeable in the house, so that the
mind can readily go over all it's parts.
Then place a series of ideas in the
house, the first in the hall, the next in
the sitting-room, and SO on with the
rest. Now, when one wishes to recall
these ideas in their proper succession,
commence going through the house,
and the idea placed in each depart
ment will be found to readily recur to
the mind in connection with it. 1t is
related that the mnemonic plan was
first suggested to the poet by tragic
occurrence. Having been called from
a banquet just before the roof of the
house fell and crushed all the rest Of
the company, he found on returning
that the bodies were so mutilated that
no individual could be recognized, but
by renem bering the places which they
had scverally occupied at the table, he
was able to Identify them. He was
thus led to notice that the order of
places may, by association, suggest the
order of things

be particular to procure the proper
breed desired, and if knowledge
Of the breeds is lacking advice
should be asked of those who under
stand the characteristics of each
breed. 1t will be of no advantage
for a farmer to procure a beef-pro-
ducing breed if milk is his object,

much beef COW will make when
her usefulness is ended if he desires
one that produces largely of milk.
Too many mistakes and disappoint-
ments have occurred from lack Of

Farrp Notes.


In planning rotation, the mar
kets, the character of the soil and
the conditions under which the
farming must be done should all
be considered. The same plan OF
rotation will not be best in all
cases.
One of the best systems is to
plant to corn and follow the corn
with oats. With the oats SOW red
clover, common red or mammoth.
Cut the oats at the proper time.
The next year cut the first crop of
clover for hay, and when a good
second growth has been made plow
under and SOW to wheat. In the
latter part Of Winter or early
Spring, when there has been a
quick freeze and good probability
of thaw, SOW grass seed, taking
care to use plenty of seed and to
get it evenly distributed over the
land. Harvest the wheat when
ripe, cut two crops of grass, and
then pillow up and plant corn again.
OF course in following out this
plan all the products, with the ex-
ception of wheat, should be fed out
to stock on the farm, making, saw
ing and applying all the manure
possible. The straw from the
wheat can be used for feed and for
bedding. In many cases it will
pay to buy more or less bran and
oil meal. This is especially the
case when there is a larger pro-
portion of roughness than of grain.
Corn, oats and clover make a
good rotation, when this rotation is
followed the second growth of clo-
yer can either be allowed to mature
seed and be harvested or it can be
cut for hay, be pastured down or be
allowed to remain on the ground
until Spring and then be plowed
under and corn be planted.
In nearly all systems of rototion,
clover should be made one crop.
1t is rot only good crop to grow
for feed, but it is one of the very
best to pillow under as green ma
nure. Besides being a fertilizer it.
self, has the property of making
plant food in the soil available.
There are many other crops that
can be used in making up a system
of rotation. Wheat, potatoes and
clover make good rotation where
potatoes can be grown to advan-
tage. White beans, castor beans,
sorghum, rye, barley and other
crops can he used. Generally,
when stock is kept to consume the
farm crops, from one-third to one
half the acreage should be grass
and clover, as good pastures are a
necessity. With care in making,
saving and applying manure and in
blowing under clover or other
green crops, the fertility of the soil
cannot only be maintained, hut
gradually improved.

by saving what we have. This can
be done and reap bountiful crops
in the process.
Fertility is not only that which
can be hauled in a cart and spread
with fork. It is mainly invisible,
and results from wise handling of
the means at hand. He alone is
worthy Of the name of husbandman
who husbands his resources of soil
as well as of produce and capital.
He can produce paying crops and
keep up the fertility of soil and even
increase it. 1t is cheaper in the
long run to cover the soil much with
clover and the grasses, than to waste
fertility by exposing it to constant
wear and waste, and then attempt
to buy it back from the factory or
ship it in from islands of the sea or
quarry it from the inter beds of
Chill or the phosphate mines of the
South or through the potash syndi-
cate of Germany.
Farmers are paying high price
for the reckless and constant use of
the pillow and cultivator. They can
give themselves and their lands a
rest by blowing less and growing
more sod, to cover the soil and fill
it with vegetable matter and con-
serve the nitrates there produced
and save the other elements now
wrung from the soil by constant
cultivation and cropping. Almost
every farmer could enrich his farm
by sod, if he would and could pillow
half that he now does, and increase
his income from bigger yields of
grain, and more STOCK,
Glover has wonderful power of
gathering and storing the three
chief elements of fertility, if we will
only help it, SO it can grow vigor-
ously and cover and shade the land.
An acre of clover sod to the depth
of 6 inches contains 354 pounds of
nitrogen, 10 pounds of phosphoric
acid, Is pounds of potash. An acre
of timothy and red top sod and
stubble to the depth of 6 inches is
found to contain 1877 pounds of nj
trogen, 1913 pounds of phosphoric
acid and 53.5 pounds of potash.
This sod, or the chemical values in
it is worth at the prices paid for
same elements in the average COM
mercial fertilizer, for nitrogen 80. %;
for phosphoric acid, $1.66; for pot
ash, $3.47; sum total of $14.36.
But there is as much more value
enriching the subsoil in the next IL
inches below this which, in the pro-
cess of years, deepens the soil as no
surface dressing of chimicals or
manures can.
Now, as we can produce such a
sod for the cost of seed and labor of
sowing, and as a sod always will
produce enough hay or pasture to
pay the rent, it is very clear we can
not get the same amount of fertiliz-
ing material from any other source
at as little cost.
1t is not cheapest in itself, but it
adds to all this more than we can
tell as beautifier of the earth and
conserver of its fertility. Sod is a
thing of wonderful capacity, 50
wonderful that we have not over
estimated it.

Among the Poultry.

weeks.
Hard food is better for matured
fowls than soft. III
When the fowls lay soft eggs give
plenty of lime.
Impure air in the quarters causes
much sickness among the fowls.
Hens that lay soft eggs are usually
too fat from the feeding of too much
grain.
Scatter broadcast one feed daily
among coarse litter and let the fowls
work for it.
Corn is zoo fattening to make an
exclusive ration to the laying or
breeding fowls.
When incubators and breeders
are used December isn't too early
to begin Matching.
Giving them a good dust bath will
enable the fowls to do good work in
Kidding themselves of lice. IS
Young fowls that are not intend
ed for laying or breeding should be
fattened before cold weather sets in.
Oats can be fed to good advantage
for change at least twice every
week, especially if the hens are fat.
Linseed meal is good for poultry.
1t brightens the plumage, regulates
the bowels and promotes digestion.
Wheat and buckwheat are the
best grains for eggs, while barley
and oats are the best to build up
flesh and muscle.
Lack of variety will sometimes
cause the hens to lose appetite.
Whenever they appear to refuse food
change the diet at once.
Crude petroleum is an excellent
disinfectant alone, but using it to
dilute carbolic acid is the most
economical way of utilizing the acid.
If the roosters are separated from
the hens for week or more and are
we'll fed the flock can then be mat
ed again and the eggs will hatch as
we'll as in early Spring.
Sulphur for the nests, whitewash
for the houses, kerosene for the
perches, exercise, pure air and var
iety of food for the fowls are the
secrets of successful management.
By a judicious system of winter
feeding you can materially increase
the comfort Of your fowls, and
suitable reward in an increased
quantity of eggs and better health
of your stock.
The only way to dry-pick fowls
without tearing them is to pick
them as soon as they are killed,
while the body is warm. The soon
er the work is commenced the easier
and the neater it will be.
Poultry-houses are not usually
infested with lice in Winter unless
number of fowls are on the nests.
Then if the nests are not kept clean
the heat form the bodies of the hens
will be favorable to the increase of
lice.
When fattenieg turkey do not
keep it confined more than week
or 10 days, as it will lose flesh. If
possible turkeys should be fattened
without being closely confined at
all. They are too restless when de-
prived of liberty and often refuse to
eat.
| If kept in good condition poultry
requires good feed and care. 1t
Twill be more profitable to keep a
small number in good condition
than larger number and give them
less attention. 1t is not good econ
omy to try to Winter too many
fowls.
