Treating Rotation Crops.

It is granted by every intelligent
farmer that rotation of crops is neces-
sary in order to preserve properly soil
fertility. There may be difference
Of opinion as to the crops which should
follow each other, but this is largely
due to what individuals find works best
in their own particular cases. 1t is an
accepted fact that any soil that will
produce good grain crops will produce
good grass crops, so that corn and
grasses are two Of the natural rota-
tive crops, although they are not
always correctly treated. What is
meant Is this Timothy is frequently
sown in clover, the idea being that
the clover will fertilize the soil and
largely die out the first winter, leaving
the soil free for the timothy. This is
good argument, of course, and the plan
works nicely when the timothy is cut
the following season, but too often 1t
is permitted to make a second crop, and
this uses up the nitrogen taken into
the soil by the clover, so that none of
it is left for the benefit of the grain
crop which is to follow in the rota-
ton.
To a certain extent the mistake is
made with the grain crop in the same
way, the first crop being so large the
owner Is tempted to try second SOW
ing of the same crop on the soil, and
thus breaks the chain in his system Of
rotation and fails on the second grain
crop or on the next crop IN the
rotation which follows the grain crop.
The future fertility Of the soil depends,
in a larger degree than we think on
the rotation Of crops, but this rotation,
whatever it may be, must be carefully
and religiously carried on year after

get many Of the borers before these
have had time to do much damage.
This is, of course, an advantage, but
if trees are wormed once thoroughly
each winter and kept mounded dur
ing the summer, one worming will
usually be sufficient.
Some farmers in New York State
have found that it pays them to skin
their hogs rather than scalding them
when butchering. This change has
been brc 1ght about by the demand for
hog skins which has sprung up in re-
cent years. 1t is said that they bring
from fifty cents to one dollar each.
When this plan is pursued it does not
require the extensive preparation for
butchering that is required In scald-
ing 1t is said that they get one-half
cent per pound more for hogs dressed
in this manner than when dressed in
the old way. The practice is said to
be spreading.

Bert 'ud never be with the powder
to blow him to blazes as farmer.
HE wus mistaken about that,
though. Bert wus a good boy to work
when there wasn't no music around
an he knew more about raisin' corn
an hogs than the old man did him
self. When the old man fn'ly died an
Bert got the place he raised bigger
crops than anybody in the township
an his stock took prizes ag'in an ag'ln
at the fairs. Bert got torable well
fixed an the girls begun maxim a set
at him. Still, he don't pay no p'tick-
Ter attention to 'em. All his spare time
he put in at Pete's shop or he'd come
around an asst me to give him a tune
on the OF fiddle. Wunst in a while
he'd send off an buy him a horn or
suthin', but he never made out to do
anythin' with 'em in the way of play
in 'em.
"iTin'ly one night he went to the ly-
ceum at Willow Bend schoolhouse an
there was a gal there from Fairfax,
over in Atchison County, that was
visitin' Lew Meakin's folks. She'd
took lessons on the pianner an Meak-
in hauled over his pianner to the
schoolhouse so's't she could play. 1
was there that night an I'll never fer
git how Bert whistled and stomped
when she pounded out 'Silvery Waves
on that OF square of Lewis. L saw
she was a gal, but she wasn't no
spring chicken, an she was built
good deal like a white oak fence rail
about as long an with corners
most any way you turned her. Her
face wouldn't have been considered
so blame homely If there had been
any homelier ones around, but there
wasn't
But Bert didn't care nothin' about
that. He jest nachally tried to stomp
hole in the floor, until she come agin
an give 'em The Maiden's Prayer
Then he raised the roof an conducted
himself disorderly until he got The
Beautiful Blue Danube
Next mornin' he went over to Lew
Meakin's after seed potatoes. He wore
his best clothes an the gal played
'Silvry Waves for him.
"A night or two after that Bert says
to me: You can talk about your horns
an your fiddles an guitars, but to my
notion the pianner beats EN- ALL
1.-TWO months after that he married
the gal an you could drive past the
house most any time O day or night
after that an you could hear 'Silvery
Waves or The AIaiden's Prayer or
j Blue Danube Judas That woman
was homely."
"I calculate Bert was satisfied"
said the storekeeper

The weight of the grain from an
acre of corn is about the same as the
weight of the cured fodder. Forty
bushels of corn should weigh about a
long ton, and the weight of the fod-
der will be nearly the same. There
may be variations sometimes, but one
can estimate very close to the weight
of the cured fodder by arriving at a
knowledge Of the number of bushels
of corn from each acre.

Immediately after being bitten: Take
a pan or bowl and pour in enough ker-
osene oil to cover the wound. 1t will
draw the poison out Immediately and
In the course Of few minutes turn per
fectly green; then pour out the oil and
refill the bowl, being careful to put in
enough oil to completely cover the
wound.
Leave the foot or hand in the oil as
long as the oil turns green. Then put
on a poultice Of plain table salt and
saturate thoroughly with OIL Keen

scarcely any danger of fatal results.
