Treating Rotation Crops.

1t is granted by every intelligent
farmer that rotation of crops is neces-
Sary in order to preserve properly soil
fertility. There may be a 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 Il 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 a 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,
i'm 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
wear to produce results.

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 brought 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.

There will be no investment for
good blood on farm where the own

believe before he is convinced that it
is a good thing. The fact that there
are many scrub farmers trying TO
keep good stock on scrub care is in
creasing the ranks of skeptics. Good
stock and good care go together.

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.

Rumor of Another Newspaper.

paper, one to be established by
Gus O'Brien and c. A. Jones. If
the deal goes thru, the machine
will back the new paper, furnish
ing most of the money for it and
will naturally receive a goodly
portion of the state and county
patronage.
Minot already has plenty Of
good newspapers and why any
more should start, the Independ-
ent is at a loss to know. The In
dependent has no material OBJ
lection to offer towards this pa
per, if it starts. As far as the
business men OF this city are con-
cerned, we believe that it will be
far better for them and for our
city, if the newspaper does not
materialize. However, ifanyone
has any money to burn, they
might just as we'll destroy it in
establishing another newspaper
as in any other way.

Mail Order House.

A merchant in the southern
part OF the state sends to The
Forum a clipping from a Chicago
newspaper showing that one OF
the small order houses last year
made a profit of over % per cent
on the million dollars of sales all
through the country. Much OF
this money came from this state,
and this could be kept at home,
and the purchasers could-as a
rule-save money for themselves
by going to their local merchants
with the lists they prepare to
send away, and letting the home
man see what he can do on these
goods. There is many a mer-
chant here who will duplicate the
prices and give you better goods
than you can secure by forward
ing your money to other mar
kets. Try your home merchant
on this proposition and you will
be surprised to see how we'll you
come out. Then, too, if your
money is spent here, you will get
some profit back again.

Wonderful Yield of Side Oats.

L. P. Weatherwax showed US
a sample Of side oats taken from
one of his farms near Des Laos,
the head Of which is sixteen
inches long. One head contain
ed 248 grains. Last year these
oats yielded 81 bushels to the
acre, or about a third more than
the common variety. It seems
that side oats ought to be a good
kind for the farmer to raise.
About the only objection there
is against it is that this kind
does not mature as quickly as
other kinds, but it always ma
lures.

Death to Mustard.

Good news to farmers with
mustard ridden fields is contain.
ed in the results of experiments
conducted by Q. c. Gregg. super
intendent OF the farmers insti-
tute in Lynd, Lyon county. He
SAYS that the experiments tried
this spring establish absolutely
that mustard may be killed by
spraying with a solution OF sui
phate OF iron, and that the
spraying will not iniure the grain.
This will mean much to the
farmers OF the northwest. The
grain farmer has continual bat.
tie with mustard. The pest
spreads rapidly and a few seeds
in the field will, if not kept down
cover the entire field in a couple
OF years. Once mustard has
taken hold of a field it has been
almost impossible to eradicate it.
Where it has not got too
strong a hold, picking is resort
ed to and during June some
farmers spend several days with
as many women and children as
possible picking the weeds from
the fields.
But when the mustard has COW
cred the field picking is useless
and cutting will OF course destroy
the crop. Turning the field into
meadow or pasture is no better,
for the seeds will lie in the ground
for years and when the turf is
plowed up again the pest will be
as prominent as ever.
Therefore the discovery will
mean much to the farmer. MIR.
Gregg says that hesprayed fields
with the sulphate OF iron solu-
ton when the grain was about
four inches high and the mustard
had about three leaves. This de-
stroyed the mustard and did not
iniure the grain. Some people,
he said, believed that he made
the ground better, but he had
not been able to verify this from
personal observations.
He says that it may be some
little trouble to arrange machin-
cry that will do the work of
spraying satisfactorily and eco
nomically, but there is no doubt
that the solution does the work.
Ii the land is titled all the seed
will sprout in two or three years
and the field is redeemed.

If the full story of the life strug-
giles of the labor members now in
parliament could be written, it
would certainly make one of the
most remarkable human documents
ever presented to the public; for
there is scarcely a life among them
all that does not exhibit a mag
nifcent triumph of pluck over
almost insuperable difficulties.
Take, for instance, the record of
Ward, M. P. for StOke-upon-
rrent, who at years old was left
fatherIess, and as a child of wai
actually driving plow; and yet,
while still young man, he rep
resents $4,000 electors at West
minister and has made one of the
most impressive maiden speeches
delivered in recent years to the
most critical audience in the
world" Of schooling as a boy
Mr.. Ward had none, and he first
learned to read when he had been
working for years as NAVY.
Arthur Henderson, who repre-
sents the Barnard Castle division
of Durham, was little less hand
~icapped than Mr.. Ward at the
start of life, for he was but 10
years old when his schoolboy days
came to an end and he began to
earn his bread, if not butter, as an
errand boy in Glasgow. Two
years later he commenced his ap-
premiership as an iron molder at
Newcastle, spending his scanty
leisure at night schools or with his
books, in teaching in the Sunday
school and qualifying himself for
work as local preacher. In those
days of obscurity and struggle he
little dreamed that before he was
far advanced in the forties he
would be a county councillor, justice
of the peace and member of par
lament, says a writer in Tit-Bits.
When Mr.. Wardle, NJ. P, was
ushered into the world it was as
one of a family of ten. who had to
live somehow on the fathers wages
{ of Is shillings a week-less than
2 shiIlings 4 pence apiece. After
a few years schooling he was sent
to Keighley factory as half
timer, working in the factory about
Eve hours a day and three hours at
his books. Seven years later he
was promoted to a clerkshlp in a
Midland railway office, and, like
Mr.. Henderson, divided his spare
hours between reading, Sunday
. school teaching and preaching.
