IMPORTANCE OF ROTATION.

A Matter Too Apt to be Overlooked by the
Farmer Is the Proper Rotation of His
Crops.
The Importance of a systematic crop
rotation is greatly overlooked by many
farmers. The writer can remember
when, not more than 80 or 81 years ago,
farmers kept certain fields for certain
crops, year after year, some fields
for oats or barley, some for bucl;wheat
or corn, and others for meadows. This
was not a scientific way of farming,
and could not be expected to be profita-
BILE in the long run. But as the soil
was then in its virgin state, even this
misuse gave fairly good results. 1t is
very different at the present day. The
soil, as rule, is exhausted. Through
neglect of properly fertilizing many
fields have become impoverished and
no longer produce paying crops. The
question is, how can we speedily inn
prove our land with the least expense
and at the same time receive some in
come from our worn-out farms? This
can be accomplished by
SHORT ROTATION.
No amount of fertilizer, either com
mon stable manure or any of the art-
licial compounds of trade, can keep
land in condition to produce the same
crop for an indefinite length of time.
The crop will grow less vigorously,
year after, year, until at last it fails
entirely, although the land may be in
the very best condition for other crops.
But change the crops, give the land
something else to do, and it will re-
spond with renewed energy. No two
crops draw the same kind of plant fool
from the soil. The rotation of crops
together with deep, thorough tillage,
will restore the land in few years to
its former condition, especially if clover
forms one of the rotation.
4 thrce-ycar rotation, namely, clover
core or potatoes, and oats or bar
le,, will be more elfectual in bring
ing up land than in "a longer rota-
ton. Two-years' product of manure,
both solid and liquid, which must
be saved and used in the most econom-
zeal way, should be applied to one of
the crops have always practised APP
plying the same on the clover stubble,
drawing out and spreading through the
winter as fast rs made, to be plowed
under in the spring fos the potato crop.
! II is mistake to let manure accumu-
late in the barnyard and lie there any
great length of time. Manure will new
er be any better than when first taken
from the stable, and the longer it is
! left in the barnyard the more liable it
is TO waste by fire-fanging, teaching,
| etc.
AS we hardly ever have manure
enough to go all over the required num-
Der of acres, even if spread sparingly,
the remainder must receive the benefit
of the seasons growth of clover (the
second crop may dol, to be left on the
field and plowcd under the same way
as the manure. If we work our farms
in this way, and do the work of cult
waiting the various crops thoroughly,
our land will rapidly improve and
farming he made profitable.

However, there is one drawback in
this three-geas rotation; we are com

HERE AND THERE.

Don't crowd the sheep in the sta,
bles, or there will be disease developed
sure
Don't dispose of hardy stock that
you have had on the farm for long
time and that is doing reasonably well.
Study markets and market condi-
tions. 1t requires as much, or more,
tact to sell prolitably products as to
grow them.
In nearly all cases the eggs from
the two-year-old hens will produce the
strongest and hardest chickens.
Provide some refuge behind which
the sheep can run for wind break
They dislike strong, penetrating wind
more than severe cold, just as their
owners do.
Anything which interferes with
putting the soil in perfect mechanical
condition should be avoided. However
careful, when turning cattle on cult.
waited fields, the soil will be injured tc
some extent. Though pastures go tc
waste to some extent where this sug.
gestion is followed, it is quite possible
that the gain offsets the loss.

was active and the people were thrifty

despite all these good qualities, we must
make an effort of the imagination tC
realize how quietly and slowly life
moved then in comparison to the pace
of today. There in Philadelphia was
the center of the postal system OF the
continent, and the recently established
mail coach called the "Flying machine,
not in jest, but in praise, performed the
Journey to New York in the hitherto
unequaled time of two days. Another
mail at longer intervals crept more
slowly to the south. Vessels of the
coastwise traffic, or from beyond the
seas, came into port at uncertain times
and after long and still more uncertain
voyages. The daily round of life wa.
so regular and so quiet that any Incl

"Ddnt il ever strike you that it's highly
inconsistent to associate fish with Lent, as
the church docs, Mrs. Gruinpust' said Mr..
Grumpus al the breakfast table, as he
pickec lghiously into the suburbs of his

one eyebrow lifted in suspicious and in

Take that popular expression; You're

that you are a lobster -,
ooh, let remain, You're LOBSTER said
Mrs. Grumpus, cheerlully.
"Marar, don't triile. Lobster, now, is a
term of reproach. That's one instance of the
way the finny world is resorted to for an ex'
preston of censure. Another old phrase is
as dumb as an oyster The very dumbest
thing on earth or in the waters under the
earth, Marian, is an oyster. It's the very
opposite of a woman, YOU know, ha, ha.
That's one on you, ELI, Marian? Remember

was described as "henpecked hus

of the gossip happened to call at the

curiosity for awhile, and then, slipping
over to her mothers side, whispered;

WOMEN AND THE WHEEL.
From the Gazette. Delaware, Ohio.

The healthfulness of bicycle riding for
women is still disputed question between
eminent physicians and health rciormers.
Used in moderation it surely creates for
women a means OF outdoor exercise, the
benefit of which all physicians concede.
Used to excess, like any other pGstime, its
effect is likely to be dangerous.

seventeenyear.old daughter of Mr., j. r.

many years | have observed that clover
Is not as sure 10 catch and does not do
as well, even after good catch, as
when sown on winter grain. For this
reason favor and practice the four
year rotation, letting d crop of winter
grain ttye, because it Is better adapted
for this locality follow the spring
grain. This enables lis TO sow our
elover-seed at just theright time, either
on new-fallen snow or on the frozen
ground at the opening of spring. |
have never lost u seeding by doing 50,
although some Of my neighbors object
to this early seeding for fear tho
clover-seed might sprout and then
be killed by late frost, Ac-
cording to my experience their
fear is without foundation. Glover
seed, or any other seed, does not sprout
in one or two warm days; If requires
steady, warm weather and warm soil,
and when we have this the danger of
being injured by frost is past. We want
it to sprout and grow early; earlier
than we could possibly get it on tho
ground, if we had to delay the sowing
of it until after sowing our spring seed.
When sown ON the frozen ground it is
more liable to get well covered; the
ground is then full of little cracks and
ereviccs in which the little tiny seeds
are sure to find their way, and the
action of the soil by freezing and thaw'
ing completes the Governing, Sown at
this time the little clover-plants donot
only get an early start, but their chance
to get deeply rooted is very much in
their favor. 1 consider this the secret
of successful clovcr-seeding; it can re-
sist the droughts, which we frequently
have the latter part of the spring, bet
ter than when sown after spring grain,
DIVIDING THE PROFITS.
The four-year rotation gives us an
other advantage; it divides our work
more evenly all through the season
All the work of the rye crop comes at a
time when the farmer has nothing
driving to do. The sowing is done
when the oat crop is out of the way
and the potato or corn crop not yet
ripe enough to require our attention
The harvesting also comes at n time
when no other work is crowding, be
tween haying and oat harvest. by di
viding our acreage in this way, setting
part of it aside for the rye crop, we
have better chance to do our spring
seeding and planting with the neces
sary care and thoroughness.-G. c
