Rotation Of Crops.


We have heard a great deal of COM
plant about the loss Of grain crops by
the seed blowing out during high
winds. We believe this trouble can be
almost entirely obviated by a course
Of scientific farming for O few years.
By rotating wheat and corn, catch
crops can be sown after each wheat
harvest and plowed under for every
corn crop, thus helping to maintain the
fertility of the soil, furnish the needed
nitrogen, and, by increasing the humus
in the soil, increasing its capacity for
moisture. II small grains are sown in
rotation with corn, use the harrow
freely on the small grains after rains,
SHOWS or irrigation in the spring, IL the
corn stalks will permit; otherwise the
loss of moisture from the compacted
surface will be serious. One great ad-
vantage to be derived from O catch
crop turned under to a depth OF eight
inches every other year is that q great
mass of fibr0us roots Is formed along
the zone where the green manure was
buried. The turning under of another
catch-crop eight inches deep will bring
this mass of roots to the surface, thus
closely reproducing the favorable con-

DIMINISH

Telephone Wires Diminish the VIC.
lence of Thunder Storms.
Important evidence of the much
mooted question of the influence Of
telephone wires on lightning has been
secured by the German telegraph de
partment. An inquiry was set on foot
with a view to ascertaining whether
the danger from lightning was in
creased or decreased by the presence
OF the miles of overhead wires which
make up the network of a telegraph
system. The result of Ii inquiry has
been to show that the telephone wires
sensibly diminish the violence of thun-
der storms and lessen risk from light
ming. A comparison made between
$40 towns having a telephone system
and 500 not so provided showed that
the ratio of the risk of damage from
lightning was as ~ to 4.6 i'll favor OF
the former while the frequency of
flashes during a thunder storm was
lowered in the proportion of 3 to 5.

main all of the books are properly kept. 1t

that the report on the city Off GERS can be

THE CENTRAL W. c. T. U.
Discusses Civics and Is Instructed by Miss
Huston of the High School

Discusses Civics and Is Instructed by Miss
Huston of the High School
Yesterday afternoon at the Temperance
Temple the central branch of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union received an
other lesson in civics from Miss Huston,
teacher of this branch of study in the city
High school, the subject yesterday being
more particularly directed to the munich
pal government of Los Angeles.
Miss Huston explained the laws passed
in forming the charter Of the city. She
also dwelt on different forms of municipal
neglect, for which no remedy has yet been
found, owing to the fact that the offices in
Los Angeles are filled with too many per-
sons, which make it impossible to hold any
special one responsible.
The model government of Brooklyn was
discussed, aid the laws of the country as a
whole compared with those of Europe,
much to this nations disadvantage.
The society of the Woman's Temperance
union feels much indebted to Miss Huston
for devoting an afternoon in every month
to the study of civics. Special topics are
discussed on each occasion, and questions
relating to any matter of law are most
cheerfully answered. Some of the most
fashionable women of New York have
recently formed ''swell'' club for the
study of laws, with a celebrated jurist as
instructor, the main object being to obtain
that knowledge of civics which enables
women to have an understanding of their
property rights. The charges in this club
and those of a similar nature in other cities
are large tuition fee. Miss Huston, very
graciously, not only makes the lessons free,
but extends in the name of the w. G. T. U.
very cordial invitation to all to attend.
