to an annual loss of IT'S pounds per

to an annual loss of 175 pounds pSr
acre in addition to that used as -pMnt
food: ~~
>>Second-When wheatwseeess grown in
a rotation with clover and oats, five
crops of wheat being removed in eight
years, larger yields per acre were Sc
cured, and the total loss of nitrogen
from the soil was reduced to 500
pounds, or about $50 pounds in excess
of that utilized as plant food. When
corn was grown with clover and oats
in 4 rotation, and farm manure was
used, the total loss of nitrogen from
the soil for eight years was less than
100 pounds in excess Of that removed
as plant food.
Third-When oats and barley were
grown continuously the losses of nitro
gen from the soil were nearly as large
as with wheat.
Fourth-When corn was grown con-
tinuously the loss of nitrogen from the
soil was less than half as large as
with wheat When corn is introduced
into rotation the losses of nitrogen
are less than if wheat is grown.
Fifth-When wheat was grown con-
tinuously there was an annual loss CT
over 1000 pounds an acre of humus,
due to the fermentation and decay of
animal and vegetable matter. When
wheat was grown in rotation with
clover and oats no material loss of
humus from the soil occurred.
SiXth-The loss of humus changed
the physical properties of the soil,
causing it to be less retentive of mois-
ture, lighter in color and heavier in
weight per cubic foot. During Idrouths
the soil from the continuous wheat cul-
tivated plot contained less water than
the soil from the plot which produced
wheat in rotation with clover Humus
oonserves the moisture of the soil.
while the rotation of crops, the use of
farm manures anI the growing OF
clover conserve the humus of the soil.
Seventh-When bare summer fall
lowing is practised a heavier loss of
nitrogen occurs than when wheat is
grown continuously. Summer fallow.
ing favors the decay of the humus and
the loss of nitrogen. While larger
crops of wheat are produced after
year of fallow, this increase is fol-
lowed by heavy loss of the total nj
trogen of the soil Summer following
rapidly eXhausts the soil of it's nitro
gen.
Eighth-When the nitrogen and hu.
mus of the soil were conserved by
the rotation of crops and the produc.
tion of clover, an increase of 20 bush.
els per acre of corn and Sc bushels OF
wheat were secured.
Ninth-Wheat is not an exhaustive
crop when it is grown in rotation,
but when it Is grown continuously the
fertility of the soil is impaired. 1t is
not the crop itself that reduces the
fertility, but it is the lack of syste.
matte methods of farming which caus-
es the decline of fertility. Old wheat
soils readily recuperate when some
humus forming materials are returned
to the soil. BY the rotation of crops,
the use of farm manures and the culti-
vation of clover the heavy losses of
nitrogen and humus from the soil can
be checked, and larger yields and a
better quality of wheat secured.-Con.
clusions reported by Minnesota Ex-
pertinent Station.

q HINTS Q
Profit in Farming.

Farming does not give the largest
profit compared with many other In
dustries, but it affords more security
to those who invest in that direction
than any other. as one who owns
farm without encumbrance has an op-
portunity to apply his labor, and labor
itself is capital, the combination OF
farm and labor being really the union
of. capital and labor. 1t is true that
during some years the farmer VIII
make little or no profit, but he has the
opportunity of producing suficlency
for his own use and is not compelled
to pay rent Another point IS that
q well.cultivated farm becomes more
valuable every year, as large proper
ton of the. profit is stored in the SOIL.

form on the sides and surface of the
vessel and come toward the top Of the
water, there is a motion in the water,
but it has not really reached the boil
ing point. 1t is only when the ther-
mometer reaches 212 degrees Fahren-
heit and the water is in rapid motion
that it can be said to boil; and the
atmospheric gases still continue to be
given off with the steam for consid-
erable time after the water has COM
menced to boil rapidly; in fact, it is
difficult to determine when the last
traces have been expelled. 1t is safe
to suppose, however, that ten minutes
boiling will free the water from it's
gases, make it tasteless, and render it
unfit for the making of tea, coffee or
other light infusions of delicate ma

- I "A .HlomiIy on Dress.

The Lancet has a little homily on
the dress of the profession. Here is
an extract: 'It is right that medi-
cal man should always be careful and
quiet in the manner of his dress. He
must not allow flashiness to play
part in his costume. and our younger
readers will do we'll to remember that
though a freedom is theirs now which
was denied to tbai- fathers, still it
behooves them to ZEE that they dress
strictly as gentlemen should. Bet

of a black frock coat than that suit
only fitted for the race course should
be worn at the bedside.

Apples on the Tree.

The risk which Spectators and
dealers are willing to take in buying
apples on the trees and attending to
the harvesting and selling themselves
not infrequently proves great boon
to the grower. In large apple-growing
regions it is rapidly becoming the Gus
tom for farmers to sell their apples in
this way, and if one studies the ques-
ton of values, and knows how to cal
cr,ate the worth of his fruit on the
tree. it is good thing to dispose of
the nples in this way. The purchas-
ing npanies are generally able to
max >tter arrangements for trans
ports with the railroad companies
than individual farmer, and they
also en- oy small army of expert
pickers cld packers who accompany
them from one orchard to another.
They can consequently pick and pack
apples at less expense than the farm
er who must depend upon whatever
help he can secure in the harvest sea-
son: More than this, the spectators
who buy the apples on the trees know
better how to distribute the products.
The apples are carefully sorted by
them in different grades. 1t might
prove a useful lesson to any grower
to study their methods. First, there
come the choice apples for export or
the fancy city trade. These are select
ed with the greatest care and packed
carefully, often being wrapped in in
dividual tissue paper. For barrel Of
such apples packer told me he .eX-
pected to receive S. and Sc in ordinary
times. Very few farmers could secure
such prices. The demand is, of course.
limited, and the purchasers are hard
to find by the average shipper. 1t is
the experience of the men who make
a business of handling the apple crop
that helps them to secure these ex-
traordinary prices.
The next grade of fruit is ordinary
prime, which usually represents the
grade called fancy in the ordinary
market. These apples are. also care
fully picked and packed, but not
wrapped in paper. They command all
the way from SO to 81 per barrel. Then
below them are the good and choice
fruits, which sell for about 81 barrel.
In markets when apples are scarce,
these spectators ship another grade,
which passes as common to ordinary,
and they may sell from S1.50 to $3.50
per barrel, according to market condi-
tons. Anything below. these are
packed up any way and shipped to
some factory, where the apples are
dried, and the poor sorts made into
Jelly. Sometimes the large apple spec
ulators have their own canning, dry
ing and jelly factories, which they
keep running with the fruits they can
not dispose of satisfactorily in the
market. In this way there is no
waste. Every apple is quickly sent to
market or the factory when the farm
er would lose.
They can and often do pay more for
the fruit on the trees than the grower
could get for it if he picked, packed
and shipped it himself; but as said in
the beginning, one must know the val
ue of his apples on the trees. The
apple spectators are not offering
more money for the fruit than they
are worth; it is for the glover to nnd
