CROPS AS MANURE.
This System of FertiIfzing Does Mo-
Bring In Quick Returns, But 1t
Is Profitable.

Such crops as turnips, rye, buck.
wheat and crimson clover assist in re.
ducing the plant food in the soil and
making it possible for crops the sue
ceeding year to utilize the plant food
piowed under in the manure crop. All
soils contain unavailable matter that
the farmer needs. There are crops that
do not have the power to break down
the chemical compounds existing in the
soils, but there are other crops which
have a partially for some substances
which are beyond the ability of plants
of different kind. One crop may
be preparatory for another, hence
the plowing under of crop is not q
loss, but gain. In England the tur.
nips are regarded as renovator of the
soil, and the seed is broadcasted over
The surface, sheep being allowed &C.
cess to the turnips after they have ma.
tured. The turnips can feed on al.
most anything in the soil, and wher
eaten by sheep the gain of mutton and
manure gives the farmer profit, but
the English farmer attaches as much
value to the increased fertility of his
soil as he does to the product which
he markets therefrom. 1t may be
urged, as some have done. that green
crops can add no mineral matter to the
soil other than it takes therefrom
which is true; but such crops render
the mineral matter available for the
next season.--Farmers' Journal.

TRAITS OF SHEEP.
The Flock stilI Follows the Leader
Just ms II Did Before 1t Be-
came DomeHticated.

When sheep are driven through a
narrow gate-say, for reckoning pur-
poses-a very common performance is
for one sheep to give a leap as if over
an obstacle or across ditch. If one
gives leap all the others to the rear
of 1t on reaching the same spot follow
its example. Wild sheep always ap-
point sentinels and leaders and adopt
their ways of progression in the most
implicit manner. The origin of the
jumping habit of a flock when one
explained in DIR Louis Robinson's
work, entitled "Wild Traits in Tame
Animals" "When sheep in a wild
state" he remarks, dash off together
among broken ground or on crowding
along some perilous ledge on the
mountain side-their usual habitat-it
would be quite useless for those in the
middle of the band to endeavor to see
obstacles at their feet. Hence each
keeps an eye on the leader, or those inn
mediately in front initiate his move
ments. If the leader thinks a three
foot jump is necessary to clear some
dangerous spot every sheep in the pro-
cession will take threefoot jump if
he jumps higher they will jump higher,
and so on. They carry out this inn
itated action with a most eXtraordi-
nary precision, even when it has to be
transmitted through long chain OF
different individuals" The sheep in.
dustry seems to be the safest invest
ment for the farmer. When other
crops fail the flock can always be de.
pended upon. The wool crop is always
sure, and when sold he has a small
bank account and the flock left. What
is better than sheep?-Western Plow

AMONG THE POULTRY.

Sunfower seed improves the gloss of
the plumage.
Introduce new blood among the poul-
try once year.
Give lime for growth of bone and for
eggshell material.
Buckwheat, oatmeal and milk are
good for laying hens.
A little cayenne pepper in the food
often stimulates laying.
Good leghorn hens may be kept until
they are five years old
The usual causes of roup are cold,
dampness and exposure.
A laying hen should have her food
and drink at regular intervals.
Do not winter late pullets that have
failed TO make good growth.
If the hens show an inclination to
pull feathers, feed them salt pork
In selecting fowls to winter, keep
one drake for every five ducks, tom
for every ten turkeys, one cock for
every dozen hens.
Keep the hens with reasonably
sharp appetite, and they will lay more
eggs which will hatch better and pro-
duce stronger chiekens.-St. Louis Re

Sugar Heet Experiments.

Experiments with sugar beets this
year have given very encouraging re.
suits. In the west the general rule
is to pay four dollars per ton for beets
containing 12 per cent. of sugar. In
New York state the yields have been
from ID to IS tons per acre in some
localities, one plot producing 26 tons
per acre. The percentage of sugar has
also been high, some samples giving
IL and IS per cent, the average being
ID per cent. 1t is possible to grow OYER
four tons of sugar per acre with the
aid of beets. This industry is apparent
ly slow to take hold on a large scale,
but it is believed that in the course
of time it will be a regular feature of
griculture.-Dakota Field and Farm.

Irrigation Before plant,pe,

Irrigation of the soil before planting
is very important and profitable, and
very simple. To have this it is only
necessary to plow the land into ridges
by throwing the burrows toward each
other and run the water between the
ridges. After the water has had, sufli-
cient time to drain off properly the
land is to be plowed, narrowed and
planted. This enables the crop to get
a good start, and it will stand well,
There is no better irrigation.-Dakota

THE MAJORS EXPERIENCE

One of the stanchest supporters of the
deep-water way from the Great Lakes to the
ocean is Major A. G. Bishop, Of 7l5 Third
Ave, Detroit, civil engineer of wide expe.
rienee and considerable prominence in his
profession. He was assistant engineer on the
Hudson River Railroad in 1850 and has
since conducted large engineering opera
tions. He has been located in Detroit, since
1915, and has large acquaintance among the
business men and citizens of this city.
Two years ago, for the first time, Major
Bishop was in the hospital. For two months
he had the best of medical attendance, but
when he was discharged he was not like the
Major Bishop of old. When asked regard
ing his health, he said: "When / had my
last spell of sickness and came out of the
hospital was a sorry sight, could not gain
my strength, and could not walk over block
for several weeks.

The Wheat Fly.

State Economic Zoologist H. T.
Fernald, speaking of the fly in wheat,
which has proven so injurious to the
crops of this state, says: Il am at
last able to give the result of my study
of the insects injuring the wheat. The
injury was caused by the joint worm,
very small fly, which occasionally is
very injurious and very hard to con-
tol; in fact, about the only thing to
do is to cut the wheat nigh and burn
the stubble, and also to use the straw
before spring, as the insect passes the
winter in the straw. Its destruction
by burning the stubble and using up
the straw during the winter will re-
move most of the insects, which would
otherwise produce another generation
the pext year."
