An Easy Rotation


The old practice Of blowing stubble
ground for wheat is not followed in
this county as a rule. Farmers now
seldom follow wheat with wheat.
Some follow oats and a few follow
barley with wheat. The majority in
the county let wheat follow corn. This
practice has much 10 commend II. The
chief reason for the practice, says the
Ohio Farmer, is that in a three-years'
course Of corn, wheat and clover,
there Is needed but n blowing of the
land. AS this cur after clover, the
blowing can be done at any time be-
tween the saving of the clover seed
and spring. On bottom land, fall plow-
ing of clover sod for corn or potatoes
is followed by most satisfactory crops.
On clay or hill lands that pack or
wash under heavy rains, the blowing
is deferred until spring. Corn or clo-
yer sod, fall-plowed, is easily cultivat-
ed and can be put in the best possible
filth in the spring by once or twice
working with disc, %spring-tooth or
common harrow. AS there is less
spring work in preparing this ground
for corn, it a be planted a week or
two earlier than on spring plowed
land. This is an important factor in
this rotation, as the corr natures ear
~, SO that it is ready for the wheat by
the middle Of September, generally.
The clover has filed the soil with an
ample supply Of vegetable matter, and
more nitrogen, phosphoric acid and
potash than the corn crop can appro-
pirate, so that the soil is we'll supplied
for the needs of the wheat crop. The

pieces Of meat to smoke, a smoke
house may be improvised in a few mo-
ments by taking two empty barrels
and arranging them in the manner
shown in the cut. In the side Of the
lower barrel is cut an opening in which
an old kettle is set, filled with smould-
ering chips or corncobs. The upper
barrel has either hooks in its bottom
or s:des-the bottom OF the barrel be-
ing now lppermost-or has rods pass.
ing through the sides, on which to
hang tine. meat. A small hole "a be
bored in the barrels bottom, to give
a slight draft, If needed, while the
opening in front Of the kettle eau be
closed if the draft proves too strong.
A simple little arrangement Of this sort
will often do as good work as one on
which much money and labor have
been spent.
The same plan is suggested for Us in
fumigating articles, or for bleaching ar
ticles with burning sulphur. For such
purposes, a tighter chamber Is required
than is needed for smoking meat. This
tightness can he secured by wrapping
cloth about the point of union of the
two barrels, while no opening need be
made at tile base Of the lower barrel

Japan's Earthquake center.

OAvHu . GuEt14uAAS OSAASS
The northeast coast of Hondo, the
largest Of the Japanese islands, ex-
tends nearer than any other land to the
tremendous submarine hole in the
earth's crust known as the Tuscarora
Deeps. This is the deepest part of the
ocean SO far as men know; it is almost
as deep as the topmost peak Of the
Himalayas is high. Throughout its
hundreds Of miles Of width and
breadth there are submarine volcanoes.

Fourteen Despairine Brides.

At Hounslow yesterday there was a
remarkable scene when the Fourth
Hussars left by the 9:45 train for
Southampton en- route for India. A
detachment of 400 men in full march
ing order, and under the charge of
Col. Ramsey, proceeded from Houns-
low Barracks to the station, where
they were awaited by an immense
crowd of friends, chiefly females.
Among the latter were fourteen brides
of only a weeks experience Of mar.
ried life. and these were In q most dis.
~tressing condition, the poor women
crowding together and clinging with
the fondest affection to their husbands.
The soldiers quickly e%ntraincd, and
after the last good-byes had been
spoken the train steamed out of the
station, leaving the d~isconsolate
brides weeping Historically in a heap
on the platform. The fourteen pri'
Yates were married during the previ'
GUS week, without the consent Of the
colonel. and their wives were, there.
fore, not entitled to accompany them

The greatest defect of the shah was

Unsuitable; and although this is a COM
mon fault among Oriental despots, who
feel that their power can only be made
secure from attack by the command Of
a full treasury, yet It injured and often
ruined his schemes for the develop.

content to spend some portion Of his
boards on public improvements, on the
repair of ancient reservoirs and water.
courses, and the construction of roads
and bridges, he would have brought
under cultivation tracts of culturable
land which r now desert and would
have largely benefited both his own
revenue and the general trade Of the
country. But he could not make up his
mind to spend money, and required
every Improvement not only to pay
for itself, but to bring q large con.
tribution to his own treasury.
The concessions which were given to
all Corners for manufactures, mines,

The consequence was that the greater

assistance from the government, soon

FoGder should always he ricked so
that 1t a be used from n end Of
tile rick, not untovering any faster
than it Is used. To do this, says Stock
man AMI Farmer, the builder should
commence at the point farthest from
the place it Is to be fed, finishing each
course ut end Of the rick from which 1t
is to he used. If carefully built this
way, but little fodder will be exposed
while the rick is being fed out. In
stacking, the middle Of the rick should
always be kept full. When the rick has
been drawn in until a bundle will reach
across 1t. bundles should be laid length
wise Of the rick in the center, two side
and side and II on top OF these. Then
bundles should be kept set upright
along this center row till they extend
out far enough to shed the water Off
the main part of the rick. If there is
any fear that the work has not been
well done, and there is danger of the
rick taking water, the whole rick can
be easily and quickly covered. Set
bundles a row or two deep around the
butt of the rick as may be necessary
to give the second course. set on the
bands OF these slant sufficient to pre-.
vent falling out from the rick. The
courses can be continued IN. this way,
