HINTS FOR FARMERS
Rotation of Crops.

To be the most successful with our
farm work and crops there should be d
suitable rotation adopted and faith
fully followed out. This Is getting to
be q necessity where corn and other
grain crops are largely raised, as is
the case more and more, especially In
the dairy portions of our country.
There need to be more system and
uniformity in this business. A change
should be made from the practice too
much followed of taking up pieces
here and there all over the farm for
the plow.
There should be some well defined
plan of what is wanted In the way Of
crops, and then divide the land that is
to be devoted to the cultivated crops
and hay into sections in accordance
with the size Of the farm.
1t may be four, five or six year
course, as circumstances seem to de-
mand. Usually corn and potatoes are
grown the first year on sod ground,
crops that require good cultivation the
next or second year. to be followed
with a crop Of grain and seeded to
grass, this in turn to be devoted to hay
for two, three or four years, In accord
ance with the size of the farm.-Amer-
lean Cultivator.

Dark Forcing Rhubarb.

The practice Of dark forcing rhubarb
is growing and will, we believe, super
sede all of the older methods, such as
forcing under greenhouse benches,
erecting glass structures In the field,
steam forcing, etc, says Rural New
Yorker. Reports from the Ohio exper-
iment station are TO the effect that for
the past three years they have been
following the methods with great sue
cess. They claim that the dark fore
ing has two very distinct advantages
over any Of the older methods first,
the superior quality, and, second, the
larger yield. This latter proposition
must be self evident to any who have
tried it, as the almost entire absence Of
leaf growth allows the whole strength
of the root to go to the stalk. They
also recommend growing in small
quantities for family use when the
commercial features are not admissible.

A Large Poultry Plant.

In laying out large plant do not try
to crowd everything on small area.
Fowls lay better, keep healthier and
can be cared for with less labor where
they have ample space. For flock of
1000 hens a prominent New York
poultryman advises erecting four build
ings 10 by so feet in size, with four
foot alley In the rear. Divide these In
five pens each and place fifty hens in
a pen. He thinks yard 10 feet wide
and "a feet long ample for fifty hens,
but we would rather have it several
times longer. The buildings should be
separated far enough so that if one
burns the others will not catch fire.

A corn crop Of 2,5oo,000,000 bushels
Is suggestive Of such farm wealth as to
be almost incomprehensible says an
exchange, yet that is the approximate
amount now being secured and brought
out in American Agriculturist's final
report. Best Of all, the crop promises
reasonably good returns to farmers,
whether sold in the grain or converted
into live stock and dairy products Corn
for midwinter delivery is now selling
at figures materially above earlier years
of liberal output, and this is due large
ly to the practical exhaustion of the
corn crop Of 1901. Now for conserva'
tive marketing and judicious feeding.

Farmers Organization.

Sometimes a majority of the farmers
In locality or section organize to try
to better their condition. 1t is evident
that If all would work together the OBJ
ject, or at least the greater part Of it,,
would be gained. A minority of farm
ers refuse to join and in various ways
do what they can to obstruct the 9th
ers. In spite of them the majority win
and compel those who deal with them
to give better service or better price.
The men who refuse to join in the fight
receive all the benefits, but will not
pay for them in either cash or service.
What do such men think Of themselves
anyway?-Rural New Yorker.

A Chance to Educate,

The best way to invest some of the
earnings of the farm is in the educa-
tion of the boys and girls who have
helped to earn the money. Nearly all
the agricultural colleges of the differ
ent states have short terms devoted to
very practical topics. The farmer who
cannot afford to do more for his chill
dren should investigate these special
offers which do not require great ex-
penditure of money and require the
time of the students only during the
winter months when they can be
spared from the farm.-Stockman and
Farmer.

near Norfolk, Va, with pine straw
from the forests, although more often
a crab grass mulch is allowed to grow.
Most fields are picked one year only,
but some are carried two years. Some
growers do nothing to the beds the
second year, while others narrow
down the beds with plow and scrape
out the grass as with young planta-
tions. About March l beds are top
dressed with about COO pounds of qua
no containing Z or per cent potash
and from to I per cent ammonia. Too
much ammonia decreases the yield. On
two-year-old beds 1000 pounds or more
are used.

A Growing Union.

Among the organizations in Chicago
that have made rapid strides In the
work of adding to their membership
during the past summer few have
been more successful than the United
Order Of Boxmakers and Sawyers. In
July last the entire membership Of the
union in the city did not amount to
1900. Since that time the girls in the
paper box factories Of the city have
been brought into the fold, and the
membership at the present time is
$500, Of whom 1900 are women and
girls. Several factories are still unor-
ganized, and the work Of bringing
them together is being vigorously
pushed. Since the formation Of the un-
ions of girls better conditions have been
secured in several large factories.

I'VE WANT TROUBLE"
Labor VIII Get It's Rights When II
Perceives What Its Rights Are.

Labor VIII Get It's Rights When II
Perceives What Its Rights Are.
DIR. Hills is right when he says that
what we want Is trouble. The law Of
progress is discomfort And there will
and should be discomfort SO long as
the masses of men, no matter how hard
they work, remain in poverty. Their
poverty means simply that most of
what they earn others take.
How to prevent the appropriation by
the few of the fruits of the many's toll
is the social problem, problem which
those who take things rather than
make things dislike to have discussed
for the best Of business reasons.
While what we want is trouble, DR..
Hills adds that we also want the
right kind Of men TO meet It.
That Is true. And the best intellect
Of the time Is given to the study of the
trouble" which Is caused by the un-
Just distribution Of wealth-the intel
lect that is warmed by heart, that rec
egnizes the claim of human brother
hood and realizes that while selhshness
rules the world the world must remain
unit Christian.
But though many men who do not
themselves feel the pinch of poverty
are in travail over the problem of pov-
erty and give its victims the benefit
Of their thinking. the right kind of
men" to meet the trouble are those
who suffer from injustice. No great
wrong ever yet was righted by the class
deriving profit from 1t, but always by
the revolt of the victims.
Labor will get its rights when Ia
borers clearly perceive what those
rights are.
The trades unions are doing more to
solve the social problem, to gain for the
workers fairer share OF what their
labor produces, than all the well to do
thinkers and philanthropists and chart-
ty bestowers. These unions have Gre
ated among millions a sense of Identity
Of interest, 4 sentiment Of comrade-
ship and a knowledge Of the power Of
associated effort. Reading and thinking
men are numerous In the trades unions,
and more and more ts 1t being under
stood that monopoly is the cause Of
poverty and therefore the arch foe Of
labor.
What we want Is trouble''-manly
dissatisfaction with hard and meager
conditions of life. In this republic,
where every man has q vote, there can
be no excuse for the trouble ever taking
any other form than that Of peaceable
agitation. Here revolution can be &C.
complished at the ballot box. And the
trouble" will go on and increase until
1t is settled at the ballot box by intelli-
gent men who know what they want
and vote to get it.-New York Ameri-
can.

Brain. and Commercial Supremacy.

brains and commercial supremacy.
Our newly won commercial suprema-
cy has been achieved by our high
priced, intelligent and inventive work
ingmen, not by the statesmanship of
our financiers. The important factor in
commerce today is neither labor nor
capital, as such, but brains. do not
mean the brains" Of the Wall street
manipulation any more than l mean the
''brains" of the counterfeiter and bank
sneak. Neither do mean the brains"
Of the monopolist who merely piles
million upon million. The brute force
Of capital is not brains. The sort Of In
tellisence upon which commercial
greatness depends is that of the invent
or, the skilled mechanic, the clerk or
farmer or merchant who mixes thought
with useful work.
The American workingman is the
most valuable producer of wealth the
world has ever seen, yet In proportion
to what he produces he receives less
wages than any foreign worker. For
instance. an English nailmaker gets So
4 week and produces 200 pounds Of
nails, while an American nailmaker
gets $40 a week and produces $500
pounds Thus, while American wages
seem high, the worker is much cheaper
to employ. At the English rate Of pay
ment the American nailmaker would
receive $3.50 a week.-Herbert N. Cas-
son in Arena.
