During the first course OF the rofa-
tion the value of the crops was less
than the total expenses in FIVE out Of
nine Instances The average loss per
year amounted to 1919 per acre dur
ing the first course Of the three year
rotation
During the second course OF the rota-
tlon there was an average profit or
S23-54 per acre annually.
After deducting the losses during the
first course of the rotation from the
profits in the second course there re-
mains an average net profit OF $16.T5
per acre annually during the entire
period OF six years
The returns In the second course OF
the rotation ard the tiIth and general
character Of the soil at the present time
all lead to the expectation that the fu-
ture returns ought to equal or exceed
those in the second course OF the rota-
ton. in which case the profits even
after allowing for interest on the in
vestnent. wear and tear OF tools. ma
chinery, etc. ought 10 be good
II should lie remarked that the crops
potatoes winter rye and cloverj grown
in this rotation are not al such as
would be expected TO yield large fnan-
cial returns per acre, though they are
suen as are usually or often grown in
one or more Of the rotations upon a

IT j. not expected that the three year
rotation would be przeticed exclusively
upon general farm except possibly in

tons 10 Be conducted upon the various

The story of a Mean Man.

This is the story of mean man. He
may not be the meanest on record, but
he carries a very fair brand Of close
fistednesss He had contract to sup
ply certain amount of crushed stone.
The machine he used could turn out all
the work he could get by running eight
hours n day.
The mean man had an engineer who
was a genius. The genius went to his
employer one day and said he thought
he could make some improvements In
that machine so 1t would do more work
In less time. The genius was paid by
the month.
He worked on the machine for sever
al days, taking it apart and putting 1t
together again. When reconstructed,
it proved to have greater efficiency
than before, so much so that 1t did the
same amount of work in one minute
and a half that it used to take four
and a half to do.
The mean man, however, could get
no more contracts than before. He
could fill all his orders by running
about three hours day. The mean
man then went to the genius and said:
'See here, Henry, I've been paying
you by the month, but there isn't as
much work as there used to be-not
enough to keep you busy. I shall have
to pay you by the hour after this"
Henry demurred. He had been too
faithful, but he didn't think that oughS
to reduce his earnings over one-half.
His employer was firm. however, and
Henry resigned.-New York Mail and

1.-The American people are great thea
ter goers and spend about $112,000,000
annually for such amusements," said a
prominent theatrical manager to the
writer recently. ''This vast sum of
money is paid into the treasures of
some 1000 companies, which were esti-
mated to be playing in all parts Of the
United States last year. This includes
everything that can be considered
strictly professional companies, to say
nothing of the countless amateur or
ganizations.
"Of the strictly theatrical organiza-
tions 1t is safe to say thai the average
receipts per night for the 1000 eompa-
MES is $400 each. at seven perform
ances per week for each company the
weekly average would be $3.50. The
average theatrical season is 40 weeks.
The entire 1000 companies, with aver
age nightly receipts of S400, would
produce weekly receipts at seven per-
formances per week amounting to ST.
100000. This multiplied by 40, the
number of weeks in the theatrical sea-
son, will yield gross receipts amount
ing to SIP. 100000, which is probably
far below what the people of this coun-
try really do pay every year for the
atrical amusement" t."-Washingto Star.

An Experiment In Journalism

Once there was really radical pa
per- in London it was, but the man
who made it now lives here and tells
the tale. 1t was one of those papers
which are a tragedy. They represent
the wreck of the enthusiasm of strong
men who must find the outlet for their
apostolate. This paper began by being
at odds with all that was established,
and it had readers. But as time went
on the man who made the paper drove
off singly and in groups all those who
had begun by being his supporters. 1t
was found little too radical for them,
and they no longer kept step with its
newest march.
"Of course now can see that such a
paper was foredoomed to failure" the
editor said after he had recited the ear
ly history of his venture. II confess
it was pretty strong even for British
radicals. After the circulation had
dwindled down to the extremists l sue
ceeded in alternating about half of them
by denouncing social democracy as feu
dial oppression, and the other half left

score of its superstitious tendencies.
After that ran the paper as long as

most practical, says an American Agri-
eulturist correspondent The sirup is
tested with saccharometer, drawn of,
strained through two thicknesses Of
cheeseeloth and poured into small, deep
settling cans holding six or seven gal
Ions each. 1t remains in these from II
to "a hours, when it is poured off care

The settings are all turned into one

stirred. When this has settled, the
clear portion is drawn off and the
process repeated until the sweetness

Thrnn nR N Kind-

The iceman and the plumber and the coaman sat
apart;
No glad or joyous sentiment was found in either's
heart.
The coalman and the plumber sighed some sighs
both long and deep,
And then the iceman hung his head and soon be-
gan to weep.

The iceman wept He sobbed aloud. The others
then inquired:
"Why do you wailY What sadness has these bitter
tears inspired?
You had your chance last summer, when the days
were fierce and hot;
We waited for the winter, but the winter cometh
not"
The iceman raised his fearful face and rueiully
began:
'''Tis true you have your troubles, but I'm the
unhappy man.
The ice has not begun to Freeze and, oh, sadly
I'll have to raise the prices very high the coming
year"
The plumber and the coalman then gave him G
scornful stare;
1t might be impolite TO say they were inclined to
swear,
But slowly and with dignity they took themselves
away,
While through the icemans briny tears a smile
began to play.

CROP ROTATION.
Results In Increased Profit From
Crops and Soil Improvement.


Crops and Soil Improvement.
A short rotation of crops practiced at
the Rhode Island station has been:
First year, potatoes; second year, win
ter rye; third year, clover. 1t embraces,
therefore, q root crop, cereal and a
legamineris crop.
The soifupon which the rotation was
conducted was extremely exhausted.
The average yield of hard shelled corn
obtained per acre upon the plots the
year before the beginning Of the ex-
pertinent 1892 amounted to but IS
bushels per acre. Similar soil in an
other portion of the same field, under
system of continuous cropping with
out manure, became so exhausted by
the year 1896 as to produce Indian corn
scarcely five inches high.
n the course of the three year rota-
ton the yields of merchantable pota-
toes upon these plots were but GO, III
and 70 bushels per acre respectively.
In the second course of the rotation
the yields were 233, 1913 and 26S bush
els per acre respectively. These in
creased yields illustrate well the inn
provement in the condition Of the soil.

Rye Ground and Potato scab

The difficult side Of the potato scab
question is how to kill the germs that
are in the soil. An Ohio man had a
piece of land where the potatoes were
quite scabby, so he sowed rye on it
and let it grow to about the height of
IS inches, then plowed it under, and
as the result Of that experiment he
said he never saw a clearer crop of
potatoes. For four years he has prac-
ticed rye sowing there.-Professor
