ROTATION OF CROPS.
without II the Fertility of SOIL Can
not lie Maintained.

One should always farm in such a way
rs TO maintain the fertility of the soil.
If the farmer raises and sells off the
farm grain and hay TO such an extent
that there is not enough fertilizing ma
terial returned to the soil to preserve its
fertility, he is on the road 10 ruin as far
rs the fertility of the land is concerned.
The time will come when either he or
those who come after him will find
themselves on a poor. WORKOUT farm
that refuses TO yield them a support,
and the farm will have to be abandoned.
The only road 10 successful farming lies
in Keeping some kind of live stock TO
consume the greater part of what grows
out of the soil, and carefully saving and
applying the manure.
The man who thinks his soil mex
haustible is mistaken, and if he lives
on i, long enough will find it out. The
farm is the farmers bank, and fertility
il the cash deposit which may be
checked out. No man ever had so much
money in bank but that he, in time,
would get TO the end of it if he consin-
ually checked out more than he put in.
II Is advisable in all localities TO raise
different crops on the farm and prac-
tce regular system of rotation, rare
ly having the same crop on any given
field more than one year without some
other crop Intervening. And in this ro-
taton clover ought TO come in every
third or fourth year. y crop of clover
will add materially to the productive
ness of the farm. Its long roots pene-
trate the subsoil, thus breal<ingit up and
improving the mechanical condition
and bringing up fertility from below

RED when there was a surplus of water
descending through it. 1t is also one OF
the very few plants that has the abil-
ity to extract nitrogen from the air and
deposit il in the soil.-Rural World.

them with leaves, and when they saw

Uses made OF leaves really constitute
Key TO large amount of farm pros-
perity. These millions of pounds of bu-
mus should be left where nature scot-
ters them for the most part. The pro-
visions OF nature in this regard are re-
markable. The grass of the lawns
catches and holds warm carpet for the
sod. These should be never raked off in
the fail, but partly removed in tl1e
spring, where very thick. The effect of
the leaves is not only to protect, but to
add each year to the humus. to replace
traction each year washed off by the
rains, another portion steadily becom-
ing food soil for plants. Then nature
shoves and drives another large amount
OF the leaves under the hedges, and
around the shrubs and into the bushes
that need covering-especially of roots.

where not needed, and to put them to
other uses. Q) | fill a big bedding bin

CAUSE FOR ALARM.
How badness begins.
How to prevent it.

Every person, male or female, shrinks
from badness. 1t adds to the appearance
of age and is a serious discomfort. The
cases are rare when the falling out of the
hair may not be stopped, and a new and
healthy growth of the hair promoted. The
hair grows in the scalp like plant in the
soil. If plant fourishes, 1t must have
constant attention. 1t must be watered
regularly and find its food in the soil
where it is rooted. It's so with the hair.
Neglect is usually the beginning of bald
ness. Dandruff is allowed to thicken on
the scalp. The hair begins to loosen. The
scalp loses its vitality. The hair, insult
hciently nourished. begins to fade and to
fall. The instant need in such a case Is
some practical preparation which, sup.
plying the needed nourishment to the
scalp. will feed the hair give it strength
and so produce strong and healthy
growth. All this is done by DR.. Ayers
Hair Vigor, the most practical and valua-
BILE preparation for the hair that can be

HINTS FOR FARMERS.

A good pedigree always adds to the
value of a horse for any purpose.
Hard work is not so apt to inJure
horses If they receive proper attention
afterwards.
II pigs are to be kept through the
winter be sure that they have warm,
dry quarters.
There are some good butter cows in
all breeds, and they are even found
among scrubs.
The Most clear profit in raising good
horses is in the fact that you have
raised them yourself.
Much depends on the nature OF the
coil whether the blowing should be
done deep or shallow.
One decided advantage In having q

DRESSING POULTRY.
Dry-Picked BIRDS Sell Better Than
Those Tint Have Been Scnlded.

The killing of any animal for market
is lob that | dislike. | have very little
of the instincts Of the hunter, fisher
man or butcher in me. And yet when
have to do some killing | go at II and
make the best of it, always trying TO be
d.centabout il and TO avoid the needless
intliction of pain TO my victims. Dur
ing summer or fall l usually ship and
sell my fowls alive. Capons have to be
killed and properly dressed. My favor
lite method of killing fowls is by chop
ping off their heads, and adopt this
plan when the purchaser is willing to
take the fowls minus head and scalded.
Often, however, and always in the case
of capons, the head must be left on.
Besides, nice fat poultry usually sells
at better price when dry-picked than
when scalded. 1t is not much more diff
ficult to pick fowl dry than to first
scald il. The process has often beer
described. l first wash the fowls feet,
then hang it up by the legs, the latter
well spread. Next l hold the fowls
head with the left hand under the left
arm. and with a French killing knife
make u long and deep cut inside of the
bill across the roof of the mouth, and
before withdrawing the knife run the
point up into the brain. The blood now
flows freely; the bird is paralyzed and
the feathers come out easily. l always
have a small (two-quart pail well
weighted ready, with wire hook at
tached to the pail. The wire hook is
inserted into the fowls bill. The pail
clutches the blood and the weight inside
holds the fowls head down. An open
barrel is then placed under the fowl
20 catch the feathers. Two persons can
thus work together to advantage in
stripping off the feathers. After little
practice one will easily learn how to
do the job well and quickly. With all
care. however, one will occasionally
tear the skin. especially on the sides
of the fowl. Have needle and white
thread ready and sew up the tear. 1t
can be done so that the damage will
hardly be noticed. The suggestion to
have a separate room for this purpose,
IN he used when not needed In this way
for storing feeds, crops and many 9TH
er things, and to be provided with a
stove or fireplace for boiling up pota-
toes and other vegetables for fowls, is

tion.-Farm and Fireside.
