FOLLOW ROTATION.
Good ne.ult. Can Only BE Obtained
when the Prescribed Lines Are
Adhered To.

proper rotatio 4 is of prime impor-,
lance. but one cannot have its good
results and continually break in upon
it's prescribed lines. Many make nc
effort to pursue well-defined policy.
Others follow rotation after fash
ion. but violate it's rules upon very
slight pretexts. If rotation is good
for part of field, it is good for all OF
it, and the part interfered with is al
ways the poorest part of the field, the
very part needing systematic care.
Practical farmers have found that a
careful rotation not only increases the
quantity and improves the quality of all
crops grown, but gradually improves
the texture and the fertility of the soil.
In the face of these well-known facts
farmers will break their rotation,
when with a little effort it might have
been kept intact. Perhaps Il clay
point of three or four acres is poorly
seeded to clover. Clearly the right
thing to do would be to reseed in the
spring when seeding the wheat land.
But no, this man plows it for corn.
What has he done? He has deprived
the soil of the renovating crop, and
has subjected it to the hard task of
growing two consecutive crops, a
task hard even for the best. OF soil.
Nor is this all. The next time in the
rotation that this field is seeded to
clover, it will be found still aess able
to grow a good crop without liberal
quantities of manure. In rotation of
crops, no part of the soil intended for
the pillow should be pastured. Don't
pasture young clover, for it needs a
good growth to insure it against freez-
ing out. Don't pasture what is to be
broken in the spring, as it has q ten
dency to make clods, and twentieth
century farming is not to be done
among clods. Soil, climate and mar
ket must determine what your rota-t
ton is to be, and when it is once esr
tablished treat it with respect.-A. N
Springer, in Agricultural Epitomist.s

AGRICULTURAL SUCCESS.


Good seed is onesot the 1punaatio =
of successful agriculture Good cnlsII
tare is needed to make the beSt iuos|
cess, but no amount OF culture can
make worthless seedgrow or .indi6er-
ent seed produce good crops.
Whether one is planting corn Is Al
fiedl crop or pansies to beautify the
home, cabbage by the acre OF bit Of
parsley to garnish the Christmas tur-
key, the quality of the seed measures
the quantity and quality of the prod
uct.
The cost Of the seed and the time
used in getting it into the ground is
lost if it does not grow. Worse than
i this, when it is discovered poor seed
has been planted, the season may be
too far gone to get it in at all or in
time to have it do its best. Then how
foolish to plant any but good seed,
charged with vitality!
The quality of the seed makes no
difference in the labor necessary to
plant, no difference in the work of cul-
ture and harvesting, but vast differ
ence in the quality and quantity of
the product. Then why not plant seed
that will produce the best quality,
whether grain, vegetables or flowers?
The first cost of the seed for the best
and the Indifferent sorts varies but
little. and it is very poor economy to
waste money on poor seed when q
trifle more will procure the best.
In speaking of good seed as the
foundation of successful agriculture it
is we'll to remember that horticulture
is branch of agriculture and that
trees, bushes, plants, cuttings and
scions may be regarded as the seed
in the fruit plantation and that it is
just as important to have this ''seed'
as good as that used in the field, gar
den or flower bed.
We wish it could be impressed upon
all that the seed question is of first
Importance in any and all branches of
agriculture; get that settled right and
the question of proper soil and right
culture will adjust themselves.
Get good seed, plant in good soil and
| give good culture and success may be
looked for. Get poor or Indifferent
seed, and the best soil and culture the
most thorough cannot bring agricult-
ural success.-Farmer'sV Voice.

E,,,,nx Soil with Humu..

One man took 20 acres, which had
crown corn for years and yielded 80
bushels of ears, and seeded it at the
last working with crimson clover. The
following spri-g, when the clover was
n bloom, it was plowed under and the
sol, well narrowed. The last of June
Il was seeded with COW peas, with a
little South Carolina rock. The COW
meas were plowed under when 10 inches
high. which required three mules and
= heavy pillow. Wheat was sown in the
fall. a month after the blowing. The
weld was 35 bushels TO the acre, and it
has given 100 bushels of corn since.
Filling the soil with humus is very
profitable.

The present scarcity of stock feed

Kaffir corn, ETC., as soon as it is pos

WILDE found very helpful. If oats and
rape seed or corn and rape seed be
sown together the oats or corn will
afford the first grazing and the rape
will provide. as it were, second crop
of forage without further preparation.
Early varieties of sweet corn will be
found very useful for forage purposes,
either to be grazed or later in the sea-
son cut and fed green.
Pasturing corn may strike some as
a novel suggestion, but it is a per-
fectly feasible one. In from four to
six weeks from time of sowing the
seed, broadcast, or better, in drills,
the corn can be grazed. just after the
plants come up. run light harrow
over the ground and sow Dwarf Essex
rape seed-about two pounds to thu
acre-and harrow again, and one will
have pasturage for q good portion of
the season. The corn can be pastured
when 12 to IA inches high. This will
be found particularly valuable for
sheep, pigs and young cattle. Heavy
stock will cause more waste.-Rural

Invention IN the Way Of Farm
Implements.

It is q well-known fact that with
mowers and reapers it is difficult to
cut grass or grain which has been
blown down by the wind and become
lodged on the ground. This trouble
arises largely from the necessity of
having to cut around and around the
piece on all sides with the machines
now in use, instead of doing all the cut
ting on the most convenient side.
To provide a machine which can be
run back and forth on the same side
of the field Nils S. Hindbjorgen, Of
Hendricks, Mimi, has designed the re-
