II. OF course, like all other grain sold
off the farm. il removes fertility from
the land In the northwest, where the
main crop grown Is spring wheat, the
following rotation of crops will be
found very practical, and where diver
sified farming prevails II will be profit
able and may cover a period of five or
six years: First year sow fax, to be
followed by wheat, oats and wheat. Ii
possible to do so, give top dressing of
barnyard manure the third year before
the wheat is sown. Sow along with the
wheat six to eight pounds OF timothy
seed per acre, to be cut for hay one or
two seasons. Or 1t may be pastured
with good results IL desired. Where
corn is a profitable crop II can follow
wheat instead of sowing grass seed.
The fax then comes into the rotation
again. but the corn must be cut and
land plowed again before il can be
sown to fax. as the corn stubble would
otherwise interfere with the cutting OF
fax crop. which must necessarily be
cut quite low. Heavy increased acre
age the present season will without
doubt lead to an overproduction of flax
seed. and then will come a period of
ruinously low prices as result. When
the time comes that the utilization of
the fax fiber from the coarse straw.
grown thinly for seed. is permanently
established. this crop will have great
boom again. writes a Minnesota grow

IRRIGATION DEVICES.

Various Kinds of Dams Used For
Turning Water From bitches.
The general attention now devoted
to irrigation gives interest to all the
practical details of the business. For
the beginner and the small irrigator
at least it may not come amiss to men
ton the usual devices for turning wa
ter from bitches. The crudest way, of
course. is TO make a cut i'm the side
with a spade and throw the dirt into
the ditch to make a dam. Some sim
pie homemade devices will obviate the
manifest disadvantage of this method.
The cloth dam is very widely used.
1t consists of rectangular piece of
The Bellefontaine Republican. [volume] (Bellefontaine, Logan County, Ohio) 1855-1905, 1902-10-24

CLOTH DAM-METAL DAM OR TAPPooN.
stout, closely woven cloth or canvas.
one side of which is rolled around and
nailed to crosspiece of wood of length
and strength according to the size of
the ditch and the amount of water to
be damned. Sometimes 1t is made with
a hem across one side deep enough to
allow the crosspiece to be thrust
through the hem. In using the dam
place the stick across the top Of the
dry ditch where IL is desired to throw
the water out. draw the lower edge OF
the cloth up the bottom Of the ditch
and place q little dirt on the corners.
The canvas must always be large
enough to have several inches lap
against the sides of the ditch; other
wise IT Will not retain all the water.
Should the ditch have a steep grade ii
will be necessary TO let the canvas fill
up gradually. as n sudden rush OF wa
ter would force the cloth from its posi-
ton When the dam is in position, II
will be necessary TO cut the bank OF
the ditch at the places where the water
is wanted Two cloth dams will be
needed in order to place one In position
while the other throws the water out
above, it being difficult to lay the can
vas under a full head of water. The
water will press the canvas against the
sides and bottom Of the ditch. SO that
none can escape. To remove the cloth
take hold Of one end of the scantling
and pull slowly upstream.
A metal dam or ''tappoon" is on some
accounts preferable to the cloth, and it.
| too, is readily made. Heavy sheet iron
| is cut into semicircular shape. and the
| straight edge is securely fastened be-
| tween two narrow strips of wood by
carriage bolts which pass through the
| strips and through holes punched in
the iron sheet, or 1t may be more
| cheaply made by securely mailing the
iron to one side of a single thicker strip
OF wood, like a piece of scantling.
These metal dams are made Of differ
ent sizes according to the ditch in
which they are to be used, their diam
eter being a little more than the width
Of the ditch, as the edges must be
pushed down a little way into the
earth of the ditch banks and bottom
They are placed i'm the ditch at or neal
the point where 1t is desired to turn out
the water. These metal dams are also
used I'm the openings I'm the banks OF
bitches either to close them wher
checks are full or to partly close then
and still permit part of the stream tt
enter the check to balance the soaking
away. They are made with sliding
gates to be used when part of the
stream is to be allowed to pass through
for any purpose.
II Wooden dams are of much use IN
quite small bitches and as gates fol
| handling small overffows into checks.

VISITING MRS. M'KINLEY.
Secretary Cortelyou at Canton, and Dr.
Rixey Is Expected.

CANTON, Ohio, March 15.-Secretary
Cortelyou Is guest at the Mckinley
home. He came here this evening from
Cleveland. where he attended a meeting
of the executive committee of the Ma
tional Mckinley Memorial Association
and will remain until tomorrow evening.
He said his visit here at this time is
purely social, to see Mrs. Mckinley and
other friends. He has almost recovered
from the grip. with which he was re-
Gently stricken.
DR.. Rixey. who was a member of the
Mckinley household here during several
vacations. and who was Mrs. McKiniey's
constant medical attendant for number
of years, is expected here Sunday. He
comes as social visitor and not in a
professional capacity. although it was ar
ranged when he left last fall that he
would come in the latter capacity at any
time it was deemed advisable.
DR.. Phillips. who sees Mrs. Mckinley
frequently, and gives her the very little
medical attention she now requires, said
this evening that she is getting along
very nicely, and has no need of profes-
SIGNAL services: that DIR. Rixey was mere
ly coming as a personal friend.
