Wheat Rotation.

The North Dakota station has taken
up the study Ola suitable rotation for
the wheat farm. Experiments carried
on for six years show that continuous
wheat culture is improbable, while
wheat in rotation increases in yield
and improves in quality. Three crops
of wheat and one of clover gave In
four years almost as much wheat
and more proftab BILE returns than four
crops of wheat in succession. Little
was gained in rotating wheat with
other cereals. as spring rye, barley and
oats, but wheat after cultivated crop
gave larger percentage of Increase
than wheat after summer following,
millet. timothy and clover, fax. field
peas or millet and clover. The in
crease in the wheat crop over wheat
after wheat was as follows: After cul-
tivated crops. Is per cent; after fallow,

who earned-or should I say received?
$4,000 year, but they have been
few. There are several player-n,an-
ayers whose incomes from baseball
amount to about the salary of Presi-
dent johnson. But the majority of
the high-priced stars are glad to get
$4,000, while $500 is liberal estimate
of the actual remuneration of the
crack-a-jack players.
Aside from the salary feature
of the regime of johnson, the in
teresting point to followers of the
sport is his rapid development
in the estimation of baseball fnan-
cial and business men. 1t was
pointed out when he was the ''Young
Napoleon' of the Western league that
he would lead his forces to Waterloo.
But he had wide circle of friends,
was cautious, forceful and upright in
his dealings with men. Conservative
men feared he would be too strenuous
when he succeeded in getting the
money men to back the American
league. But every move he has made
has been one of advancement for his
league. Want to know the secret of
his success with his league-building
operations?
II study conditions" said Mr.. john
son; "advise my colleagues on a plan,
experiment with the plan, and then
get the necessary backing. We have
never made a move in the dark. Every
time we stirred we had the cash to
pay our way. There never has been
minute when the financial condition
of our league was based on anything
but gold. Publicity and the golden
rule have made the American league
the premier power in baseball in this
country"

sport. The hand is used instead Of
racquet for returning the ball. The
floor is marked out in courts similar
to the courts of the lawn tennis game
and the ball differs slightly because
of the wide variance between Quilted
racquet and the human hand.
DIR. Bartlett, one Of the former
doubles champions, recently won Q
challenge match in the New York Ath-
letic club, playing with r. F. LAkeman
and defeating Brigg and Fling, two
great players, and was almost exhaust
ed at the end of the play. Think of
how hard it is for you to use the ten
mis- racquet properly in volleying and
smashing-yes, even in serving, and in
mild returning, and then ponder over
the difficulty of placing the ball in
your opponents courts with nothing
but the hand to guide the sphere. Abil-
ity to ''kill'' the ball after volleying
plays captures point after Point in this
game, and every muscle in the body
is brought into use by the rapid work.
Sometimes the experts will volley so
accurately that you can count IS while
waiting for one to miss, so that point
may be counted. !

quiring nerve and muscle to get you
through a hard match," remarked one
big club hand tennis player, "they are
as mild as ping pong compared to this
game"

SEEDING ALFALFA
Approved Methods Oh she West-va-
riQti0n In Seed.

Approved Methods Oh she West-va-
riation In Seed.
In the west, where alfalfa is most
profitable. spring seeding is quite the
rule. Advising in regard to: this, Or
angeJudd Farmer says: AS the young
plants are comparatively weak, it is
best to delay seeding until the ground
has warmed up we'll and cold rains are
past. Ing preparing the land for the
seed in spring pillow very shallow, but
pulverize thoroughly.
The amount Of seed per acre is also
largely matter Of opinion. Some sow
from ten to twelve pounds per acre,
while others seed as high as thirty.
Under very favorable conditions the
lighter seeding is very satisfactory,
but it goes without saying that, as a
rule, the heavier seeding is best. The
chances are that the light seeding will
result in a very poor stand. This re-
suits in loss Of part of the ground
for an entire year.
There is much variation in alfalfa
seed, and under no circumstances
should it be sown without first being
tested. 1t is a very easy matter to
count out 100 seeds and place them be-
tween two pieces Of muslin. Invert a
small dish in large vessel and pour
water around it. Place the muslin on
the inverted dish, letting one end of
the muslin hang down in the water.
Put in a warm place, and in two or
three days count the seeds which have
sprouted. Repeat this until no more
terminate. At least Is per cent of al
falfa seed ought to grow when treated
In this manner. While old seed is often
good, it is not desirable to use it. If it
is good and plump, keeping it two or
three years will not be particularly in
furious.
The most satisfactory way to SOW al
ea@fa is by the use of the ordinary seed
drill. If the soil is light, roll after
drilling; then follow with the harrow.
The surface will be left loose, so that
the young plants can push through
readily. The seed should be put down
into the moist soil. AS rule, it should
not be covered more than one inch.
Where soils are heavy and damp COW
er1ng of half an inch is sufficient. :.
Few drills handle alfalfa seed salts.
factorily, but this can be overcome by
mixing seed with coarse cornmeal,
equal parts, or some other substitute
that will feed out evenly. The habit
of drilling half the seed one way, then
cross drilling with the other half, is
commendable. as there is less liability
of bare rows. and the seed is more
evenly distributed. This has been tried
in Illinois and Kansas with good re
suits.
