A Good Rotation.

The rotation of crops has come to
be regarded as one of the necessities
of keeping up the condition of the
farm. Where farm animals are not
kept In considerable numbers, the
growing of one crop is sure to reduce
the fertility of the farm. Therefore
the growing of several crops is advis-
able. One of the best rotations for
the general farmer in Illinois and like
states is that consisting of corn. COW
peas, wheat and clover. II always
pays for the general farmer to have
few COWS to assist him in the rotations
of the crops by pasturing off the crops
that can be pastured. With the rota-
tion above mentioned, the COW peas
can be sown in the corn at the time of
the last cultivation. These will make
a good growth and being 1egumes will
add to the soil a considerable portion
of nitrogen. After the corn is harvest
ed the cows can be turned into these
peas which will still be green and
can be fed upon them until the frost
comes. Farmers that turn their cows
in upon the corn stocks would find it
safer to have a supply of COW pea foil
age. that the animals may eat of both
at the same time. Heavy losses have
been occasioned by pasturing of the
dry corn stocks. The COW peas may
be turned under in the late fall o.
in spring and wheat sown. If the wheat
is sown in the fall Immediately after
blowing the clover seed can be thrown
upon the land at the end of winter,
while the snow is still on the ground.
If spring wheat is to be sown the
clover can be sown with 1t. This will
give crop Of corn. crop of COW
peas, crop of wheat and the next
year following the wheat crop OF
clover and clover seed. The clover
sod can then be plowed under and
corn again put on. This will keep the
land rich in nitrogen and necessitates
only an occasional buying OF some
form of phosphate.

AGRICULTURAL Pronress.

. The census of 1850 gave the number
OF farms at 1,449,07s In that year
New York reported 170,62I, the largest
number of any state. Only two other
states reported over 100000. They
were Ohio. with 143,s07, and Pennsyl.
vania. with 127.577. In 1900 the aggre-
gate number of farms in the United
States was 5.739.657. an increase in If
ty years of 4,290,5S4 farms The same
period witnessed an increase In ma
tional population of 23,191,S76. In
1900 fifteen states reported over 2oo.-
900 farms each, as follows: Texas,
352, 100; Missouri, 2S4.SS6: Ohio, 276,-
T19; Illinois. 264.151: Kentucky. 2S4.-
SCI: Iowa, 22S.622; Tennessee, 224,-

223,220: Indiana. 221. 1.S97: Mississippi,
22o,s03; Michigan, 2O3,261. The total
increase in acreage has been from
293,o00.000 acres in 1850 to $4,000, 900
in 1900.
The increase in value OF farm prop
erty during fifty years is shown by the
following census reports: 1850, sS,967,
100000; 1860, $3.50, 100000; 1870
ss,944.0o0,000; 1880, s12,1S0. 100000;
1890. s16,0S2, 100000; 1900, $20.514, 600,
600. The average value per farm fol
each census year was as follows: 1850
s2,7SS; 1860. s3,904; 1870, s3,363: 1880
s3,03S; 1890. s3,523; 1900, s3,574.
In 1850 only eight states reported
farm land to the value of 100000, ,00t
or over. In 1900 there were sever
states each with farm land worti
$500, ,000,0 or over.
In 1850 little farm machinery was II
use. Cast iron plows were about tn,
only plows to be found on the farms
Grass was moved with a scythe an,
grain was cut with the scythe, sickl
or cradle. The threshing implemen
was the fail. Since that time almos
innumerable farm implements hav
been patented. The value of all farr
implements Gncluding wagons and cal
riages) in 1850 was S151,000.000 b
1880 this value had increased to s406
100000. In 1890 the value was 1894

The Corn Belt and Corn Roots.

The corn belt Is that section OF the
United States in which corn grows to
great perfection and in which the
yield per acre is very large. 1t is also
that section of country in which the
land is principally given up to the
growing of corn. The deep rich soil
is the cause of this. There are other
parts of the country that have a rich
soil, but that soil is not deep enough
or of the right consistency TO make
the growing of corn a great interest.
The corn plant is supposed TO be a
surface feeder, and it is true that
most of its roots are sent along the
surface to the ground. But, in addi-
ton, a great number of roots pene-
trate the soil to depth of three or
even four feet. II is evident that on
a thin. though rich, soil. this could not
be the case. This possibility of deep
roofing seems TO be of great value to
the corn plant; just why We do not
know. 1t has been surprise when
corn plant roots have been followed
into the ground to find how deep they
have gone. Trenches have been dug
to depth OF four feet around corn
plant and at distance of four feet
from 1t on all sides. Then a great
number Of rods have been run through
the sell to keep the roots In place
and the dirt has then been removed.
The results have shown the corn plant
to have filled all the big cube OF earth
with roots. The corn belt has soil
that permits of this kind OF roofing,
and this is why II is the corn belt.
On such land drouth has TO be very
severe to harm the corn, as il can
draw moisture from far below the
soil that is dried OUT. How much
nourishment it can get from the
depths we do not know. but ii is prob.
able that in very dry weather much OF
its nourlshment as well as It's mols
ture Is drawn from the lower strata
of soil.-J. Y Hudson. Illinois. in Farm.

Cave Stored Fruit.

writer on the storage Of
apples for winter keeping says
that the digging of cave for
the winter storage of fruit is feasible
and is often practiced in some parts
of the country, but that certain things
have to be carefully observed. to make
the practice a success. The cave
should be dug In clean dirt and in a
place that will receive no drainage
and no seepage. Sand or gravel is
best of all. The cave should have a
southern exposure, so that the frost.
line will be less deep. The top of the
cellar should be just below the frost
line. Little wood or vegetable matter
should be present. No hay or straw
is needed. The apples should not be
piled too high or the lower ones will
be bruised. Such a cave must be built
so it can be entered at will

When the trees are bare is the time
to hunt the caterpillar eggs and re
move them from the branches. II this
can be done in December, it should be
done at that time. because the days
are mild, and boy can climb about
the tree tops without being exposed
to the cold winds that will interfere
with the work later In The winter.
The eggs will be found in clusters or
rings about the twigs and smaller
branches. They are easily recognized,
and cutting them out will prevent the
appearance Of the colonies next sp,ing.
The sooner the work is done the more
certain will the orchard owner be that
the clusters Of eggs will no. be for

great many things to do, and 1t Is very
easy not to find time then for work OF

Laying Down Peach Trees.

In some parts of the west the laying
down of peach trees is being practiced
on a considerable scale. A hole Is dug
around the tree and this hole is filed
with water. This softens up the
ground and the trees can then be
bent at the roots. They are laid down
till almost level with the ground.
Some coarse material, like gunny sack.
ing, is thrown over them, and over this
is piled the earth. In the spring.
after the danger of hard freezes 10
past, the trees are taken out of their
protection. This must be done before
growth starts. The trees, when right
ed. have to be propped up and kept
propped throughout the season. The
results have been very good so far.
and much is hoped for from the ex.
periments carried on.
