nEAN TRICK.

Not long ago, relates the Kansas
City Journal, the wife of western
Kansas politician asked him to lay
aside politics long enough one day,
to dig the potatoes in the garden. He
agreed to do it. After digging for q
few minutes he went into the house and
said he had found a coin. He washed
it off, and it proved to be a silver
quarter. He put it in his jeans and
went back to work. Presently he
went to the house again and said he
had found another coin. He washed
the dirt off of it. 1t was q silver half
dollar. He put it in his jeans. 81
have worked pretty hard" he said to
his wife; 81 guess 1 will take short
nap" When he awoke he found that
his wife had dug all the rest of the
potatoes. But she found no coins. 1t
then dawned upon her that she had
been worked"

AGRICULTURAL.
AN IMPROVED CROP ROTATION
Benefits Derived by the Soil from
Fresh Manure PIoushed
Under.

l am hauling out the manure as fast
as made on the prospective corn ground,
believing that the soakage from 1t and
Its protective influence will tell very
favorably upon the corn crop. The
time was when only sod ground was
considered fit for corn, but now we
spread an even coat of fresh manure
upon stubble land and plough it under.
During the process Of decay consider
able heat is developed, which, of course, |
aids the corn growth. This manure is
returned to the surface the following |
September when the ground is plough
ed for wheat. Four months under
ground fits it admirably as wheat and
clover fertilizer. Our rotation will be
as following: Potatoes, corn, wheat,
clover. Heretofore we have followed
potatoes altogether by spring grain,
but the years that oats or barley do
| well are very exceptional, so we shall
substitute corn as far as the manure
| goes.
| The Hessian fly has caused us to de-
lay the sowing of wheat, so that we can
now follow corn with it-a thing long
desired. So the heavy loss by the fly
is not without mitigating conditions.
Planted crops are coming to be much
more successfully grown than sowed
ones, so we shall pend on them more
fully in future not only for cash income
but for home supplies. Fresh ma nure
will cover much more surface than it
will after rotting, and it is fine thing
for the soil as well as the growing crops
TO have the process of rotting go on be-
meath the surface. think by this rota-
ltion and fertilizing an excellent catch
of clover will be almost certain, and by
Towering the whole farm, piece by
piece, it will prove to be a much i'm
proved system of agriculture.
We are placing our standard of seed
ing to clover much too low. In COM
pairing first catch with an ordinary
lone marked contrast will be observ-
ed. For two years / have secured a
number one catch, and 1 have obtained
it as above outlined. The difference
between a first class catch of clover
and an ordinary one, so far as results
are concerned, may make the difference
between appreciation and depreciation
in fertility after term of years. A
neighbor's field has steadily retrograd-
ed for twenty years, although every
fifth year he has obtained what he calls
a good catch. This seems to show that
Iseeding must be above the ordinary in
order to produce advancement in fertil-
ity. An important factor, though often
Ignored through economy, Is to apply
plenty of seed-enough to shut the gate
lagainst weeds. The 81 extra outlay an
acre will be repaid in the first crop OF
hay.-C. M. Drake, Ingleside, n. Y.

Cullins the Herd.

There is nothing that assists a breed
er more in maintaining a good reputa-
ton for sending out good stuff than
close culling. No breeder has been
able to raise all good pigs, even from
the most distinguished sires and dams
that ever lived There always will be
some inferior to the others. These
should be consigned to the pork pens.
The breeder that does not do this will
have lots of trouble on his hands. He
will find it Improbable, because he
cannot sell to the same man more than
one time.
The man that builds up his business
by honest trans ctions that are
satisfactory to the buyer is the
one that makes profit and success
out of his business. If you get GUS
toner for an animal, make the deal so
that he will be your friend and con-
tinue your customer. We have plenty
Of breeders who are Of this character
and who practice this method of doing
business. To do business and meet the
requirement, you should have the blood
for which there is demand. You
should have good sows as we'll as good
boars If you want to produce good
class of pigs. You should give close
attention to feeding and handling to
properly develop them. 1t is better to
have one good SOW, than three poor or
medium ones, for profit.

Kitchen Hints.

Clam shells are useful for scraping
pots and kettles.
A little flour sprinkled over cold boil
ed potatoes while frying improves them.
Mix little cornstarch with salt
before filling the salt shaker to prevent
its clogging.
Pickles of vinegar will not keep in
a jar that has ever had any kind of
grease kept in it.
Rub little butter on the fingers and
on the knife when seeding raisins to
avoid the sickness.
Place an apple in bread and cake
boxes to keep the contents moist, re-
newing the apple when necessary.
A little butter added to the bouillou
made of beef extract will remove the
flavor which is distasteful to many
people.
The smaller roast of meat, the hot
ter should be the oven at first that the
least possible amount of the delicate
juices may escape.
To clean kettle in which onions
have been cooked, rub with a cloth dip
ped in hot, strong soda water, then
wash in soapy water.
When cooking beets do not cut the
tops too short; the vegetable will lose
its color aud sweetness ss.-Philadelphia

Dear Sir: The undersigned, residents
of the rural districts in the above town,
respectfully request you to establish
rural free delivery mail service for our
benefit at a date as early as practical
This petition brings home to us the
question which is agtating the small
er towns. Woodbury., Morris and
Bethlehem are all taking free rural
delivery, s. it is only nat ural that
Watertown should get in the swim.
To establish this system Of mail deliv-
cry in WatertOWn will mean consider
able work and also expense, as there
is a large territory to cover. The sys-
tenn as outlined covers all the town
outside Il half mile from the Oakyille
pOstoI1ice. The territory to be cover
ed will commence nearly on the line Of
the fire district. The rules in regard
to this method Of service is that the
route shall be at least - miles in length
and have 100 houses. The itinerary
would prohaly be to Poverty Street
district, from there to GuernSeyt own
to French mountain. to LinNtield. to
Nova Scotia, to POLK and East Sill.
This would make a days WORK " Il
