A Good Old Rotation.

A Good Old Rotation.
The six-year rotation so long followed
In this section, the Shenandoah Valley,
has some strong points in its favor.
The crops during the six years are In
this order: Corn, followed by wheat,
the ground being narrowed and the
wheat drilled in Immediately after
the wheat is cut the next year, the
ground is plowed thoroughly, prepared
by harrow and roller and sowed again
to wheat, this time accompanied with
about bushel of timothy to six acres
and the same quantity Of clover in the
early spring. Then three crops of hay
are moved, making the six years. Very
often four crops of hay are made.
I have not counted the second crop of
clover usually cut and hulled for seed
the first season. Since Western seed
generally can be bought at low prices,
many think 1t better to pasture, or cut
this second clover for cows. 1t will be
Noticed that this rotation, running six
years, calls for blowing only twice dur
ing that time, and gives three crops OF
nay, which we think pays better than
other crops. Farmers who follow >his
old-time way are not getting rich, but
they are probably holding their own
about as we'll as others who follow
newer and shorter plans. Try all and
hold fast to that which is good, is not
a bad motto.-American Agriculturist.

Bits About Cooking.

Marc Anthony gave the cook who
prepared the banquet he gave in Cleo
patra's honor city. julius Caesar
paid his cook $4,000 a year
France is called the cradle OF good
cooking, but Athens was the home OF
the best cooks that the world ever
knew. Athenius called the cooks the
first race of kings.
Empress Josephine ate most or heY
meals in her own apartment and re.
warded the cook who prepared then
with magnificently embroidered
shawls, thread laces, hats that cost So
apiece and silk slippers that sold to-
almost as much secondhand.
Cooking is largely matter of taste
but the best cooks in the land t0-da&
are negroes. Our own Southern CO..
ored women are real cOrdon-bleus; tn
black cooks of Cuba are peerless, am
no traveller who has visited Constants
nople or Algeria would take chef
he could get Moor.
Napoleon's table manners were ven
bad. He not only ate with his fingeN
but put them into the dishes in servins
himself; made as much noise as su
ton pump In drinking, ate with do
gssh rapacity, finished the bigge
meal In less than twenty minutes ar
expected everybody to follow hi
when he left the table.

The 2OO-Pound Pig.

1t is pretty good rule that the soon
err a pig can be brought to 200 pounds
and the sooner he can be gotten to mar
ket after reaching that weight, the
greater will be the per cent of profit in
feeding him. Aside from the risk of
cholera, ETC., it has been shown that
the gain above 200 costs more, and that,
even with pork bringing good prices,
there is often an actual loss in feeding
above $50 pounds. In this case the
longer they are kept the greater the
loss

Fall Set Posts.

1t is not generally considered a good
time to set posts in the fall. No mat
ter how Well the soil is compacted
the soil that has lately been disturbed.
The winter frosts will also penetrate
more deeply, and in winter when
there is much freezing and thawing
will gradually lift the post up. If posts
are set in fall for fence the boards
must be nailed ON so as to keep the
posts from being twisted, so that they
must be reset before a fence can be
made.

BY Products of the Dairy.

Close as competition now is in all
dairy products, those will achieve most
success who are able to get most profit
out Of the by products of their bust
ness. Wherever butter is made the
farmer can often make nearly as much
from skim-milk as he does from the
sale of butter. When skim-milk is fed
on the farm and only the butter sold,
little of the soil fertility is lost. If it is
fed to poulty or to growing pigs, it will
in eggs and meat bring as much money
to the farmers pocket as the sales
from butter itself.

A Good Paste.

A strong paste that can be really de-
pended upon to do it's duty well is made.
as follows: In half a quart OF warm
water dissolve small teaspoonful or
alum, and when it cools add enough
flour to make it into thin paste. Stir
it till smooth, then add pinch or SO or
powdered resin and pour on to the
paste half cupful Of boiling water.
When well mixed and thickened turn
into receptacle with cover and store
in a dry corner of Il cupboard. When
required for use soften small quantity
with warm water.

perfectly clean. Each time the strainer
is used remove the cloth and wash it
thoroughly, scalding in boiling water.
Renew frequently, for it is less ex-
pensive to get new cloths than to run
the risk of tainted milk. Also scald the
wire screen at each washing and care
fully scrub the tin portion.

the amount of oats may be diminished
to the extent that the bran by weight is
substituted. AS the oats dry out, the
proportion of bran may be decreased
until none is given. Yet in seasons
when oats are dear bran and corn meal
is often used as substitute for feeding
to working horses.

To Thicker Milk.

Although every housewife knows to
her cost how promptly milk can curdle
and thicken when one least expects 1t
to do so, this never seems to happen
when sour milk is required, but only
at the most inconvenient times! 1t is,
however, possible to thicken milk ito
ORDER" as it were, and that at twenty
four hours notice. Add to the remains
of the milk of the day before small
quantity Of fresh milk and in the afore-
mentioned time it will have thickened
sufficiently for every practical purpose

How to Detect Dampness.

If you suspectsa room is damp shut
it up completely, Theoretically closing
doors, windows and any crevices
through which air could enter. Then
place a kilogramme of fresh lime in
the room, leaving it uncovered in some
prominent place. In twenty-four
hours the apartment can be again en-
tered and the lime carefully weighed.
If it is found to have absorbed more
than ten grammes Of water, that Is,
more than / per cent. of moisture, the
room must be regarded as decidedly
damp and unhealthy for a living room.

A COMING EVENT.


PoUGHKEEPsTE, N. Y June 10 -
The triangular eight-oar race between
the crews of Cornell, Yale and Har-
yard, which will take place late in the
present month, promises to be the
most interesting eouatic event OF recent
years in America, not only on account
of the excellence of the respective
crews which are now in training for
the contest, but also because u will
settle the rival claims OF nearly a
quarter OF a century to the inter-col-
legiate championship. Since the year
1876, when Yale defeated Harvard BY
twenty mine seconds 10 four miles, and
Cornell. defeated Harvard by four
seconds ia three miles. the crews from
Ithaca aud New Haven have not come
together. The Harvard crew is al
ready on the spot, and is being coach
ed By Mr.. Lehman, OF Cambridge,
Eaglapd, one of The most successful OF
English coaches. The contest will
mark the close OF the dispute between
Harvard and Yale, and, it is thought.
will mark the Inauguration OF re-
newed era of good feeling between the
two famous universities.

position of the two parties in the SEN

they sat, voted and said nothing. They
seemed afraid to say anything; the in

outrageous that they preferred not TO
discuss them. They sat there, carry

monopolies. and voting unanimously
for every paragraphs endorsed by their
party caucns. The democrats, on the
other hand, were in the transition
