When packing hats wisp of tissue

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- differ
ence 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
coil that will produce good grain crops
will produce good grass crops, so that
corn and grasses are two of the
natural rotative 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 win
ter, leaving the soil free for the tim
othy. This is good argument, of
course, and the plan works nicely
when the timothy is cut the following
season, but too often it 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 rotation.
20 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 mis- system of
rotation and fails on the second grain
crop or on the next crop in the rota-
tion which follows the grain crop. The
future fertility Of the soil depends, in
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
year to produce results.-Indianapolis

CLEANING FEATHERS.

Here is a process which may seem
somewhat long and tedious, but you
will have the consolation to know that
you have done good job, for this
method was once awarded prize by
the Society of Arts.
Prepare sufficient lime water for the
quantity of feathers you have to clean,
in the following manner: Mix thor
oughly one pound Of quick lime in
each gallon Of water required and let
1t stand until all the undissolved lime
is precipitated as fine powder to the
bottom of the tub or pan, whereupon
pour off the clear liquor for use.
Now, having put the feathers in a
clean tub, pour the lime water on them
and stir them well in it until they all
sink TO the bottom, by which time
there should be enough lime water
to cover them to depth of three
inches. Let them stand in this three
or four days, then take them out, drain
them in q sieve, and afterwards wash
and rinse them well in clean water.
Dry them on nets having about the
same mesh as cabbage net; shake
the net occasionally and those feathers
that are dry will fall through. When
they are all dry, beat them well to get
rid of the dust.

DAIRY NOTES.

A good dog is nice thing to have
on a farm but its duty should never
be to run cows.
A few years ago the idea of making
baby beef from hand fed calves was
thought absurd But the practice has
now become an established custom.
The Holstein calves are fed, and
turned off as baby beef at sixteen and
twenty months, and will gain on an
average of one and three quarter
pounds per cay, beginning from birth.
Those who have never screwed up
courage to buy cream separator
should do so, for they are a neces-
sity almost on dairy farm of any
size.
Going to buy anv cows? If you are.
don't run out and pick up the first one

FOR MILKING.

On many farms the arrangements for
milking are very inadequate. Milking
in uncovered barn yards in all kinds of
weather is an unattractive and un-
comfortable job for the women who
usually do this work, and besides, milk
cows left out in the rain and cold give
less milk. A little thought and small
expense will provide comfortable
sheds or stalls and make the work
of milking much easier and more
profitable.
