INTENSE CULTURE.
II VIII Give Big Crops of Potatoes,
Cnbbages md Hay.

CabbnGes and Hay.
from experience and extended OBJ
seryation am satisfied that not only
can good cultivated crops be grown for
q term of years without the use of sta
bic manures, but that large hay crops
can be raised after such treatment and
the fertility of a farm be increased ma
terially.
one Of the best methods and Il profit
able rotation in fertilizer farming in
my experience has been to pillow under
sod in the spring, then 10y frequent
plauking and narrowing up to The first

cabbage fertilizer should be broadcast

seed in hills o. BY feet, using 800
pounds per acre of ammoniated fertili-
ger, with a low percentage OF potash,

young cabbages will allow they should
Cabbage Delights In Cultivation.
The cabbage is vegetable that must
have plenty Of cultivation. Every day
tillnge would do it no harm, and II
good culture is given a yield of eight
cen to twenty tons of cut cabbages
from the acre can be raised under the
above treatment and with good eli
matte conditions. BY the cellar method
of storage the heads are cut close,
leaving the roots In the ground, so that
none of the unused fertilizer is re
moved and much value in the stumps
and bottom leaves returned to the soil.
The second year In the rotation the
land is planted early to potatoes, using
one ton fertilizer to the acre, half or
more broadcasted.
This treatment should produce 200 to
400 bushels potatoes. varying In ell
matte and soil conditions. The crop
should be dug as early as practicable,
and IL dug by machine the soil gets
practically another blowing after
which the land Is narrowed and imme-
diately sown to grass without fertili-
ger. Following this treatment, In which
two and quarter tons high grade fer
tilizer have been applied to the acre
and two good hoed crops removed, we
can expect three years Of satisfactory
moving, when the land can again be
taken up or by annual top dressing
with complete top dressing fertilizer
kept in grass for much longer period.
The better plan, however, is to pillow
up often, as better sod Is turned I'M
der and deeper soil that holds mois-
ture better created. If the hay is sold
as a cash crop the five crops named
should at a low estimation sell for
$3.50, with n cost for fertilizer Of about
$S3 and the farm improve in fertility
under such treatment.-E. w. Sargent,
Massachusetts, in New England Home

In the case Of reclaimed swamp land
it Is always best to plow during the
summer, in the fall and again in the
spring before planting to corn. 1t is
sometimes best to crop once with rye
before attempting to grow corn at all.
The reason for this Is that the enemies
of grasses and rushes growing In these
lands before their reclamation will re
main as long as this sort Of vegetation
exists, even to a limited extent, and
IL planted ut once to corn they will
attack this precisely as they do their
native food plants and destroy It, Very
many serious losses have proven this
to be true On the other hand, where
the reclamation has been completed
before any attempt is made to grow
corn on these lands, no such trouble
has been experienced.-F. NJ. Webster.

HOLD TEACHERS TO CONTRACT
Council BIuffs School Board Takes
Drastic Measures

Council Bluffs, Aug. 23.-Drastic
measures are to be taken to prevent
the Council Bluffs school teachers
from jumping contracts made with the
school board when more enticing posi-
lions are offered them at other places.
At the meeting of the board last even
ing Emmett FINLEY called attention to
the fact that some of the teachers We're
on the preferred list in other cities,
which meant that they were likely to
be called upon at any time and would
probably go on short notice, contract
or no contract. He also considered
the present contract form faulty in that
it provided that the board might term
mate any contract upon three days no.
tice upon any ground whatever. This.
he thought, furnished the teachers
with the argument that they ought to
