ROTATING CROPS.
Il will Help the Soil and Your Bank
Account.

It is desirable to so plan the farm
work as to crops that there will be a
rotation from year to year. Ii this
is combined with the proper use OF
fertilizers it will keep the farm in
good shape from year to year. Diff
ferent crops use different quantities
of plant food, and so all crops return
something to the land in the way OF
decaying roots and perhaps acids set
loose in the d~ecaying processes. The
insects are kept down by the rota-
lions and the weeds are also better
kept under control, says Farmers Re-
view. 1t is hard to check the spread
Of insects If the same crops are grown
on the same fields every year. There
are some insects that feed on some
crops but starve on others, and thesTo.
tation process helps the starvation OF
the insects. The best-kept farms are
where the crops are rotated. Usually
the fields should each have a legumi'
nous crop once every few years, this
depending on the richness of the soil
and the kind Of other plants grown
Thus, on a soil too rich in nitrogen
we would not suggest a leguminout
crop in the rotation till the too album
dant supply of nitrogen in the soil hat
been exhausted.

v 1T THOUGHT.
Grasses for Pastures and Meadows Are
of Prime Importance.

The question Of the best grasses to
grow in our pastures and meadows Is
an important one. Some OF the
grasses we now grow have been cul-
tivated for much longer periods OF
time than most people suppose. We
have from England the perennial rye
grass, and that has been In cultiva-
ton in England for more than 2Uo
years. AS early as 1877 it was e
toned by the old writer's on agricul-
ture.
Orchard grass is regarded as a new
grass in this country, yet 1t has been
cultivated in England for more than
100 years. 1t may have been cult
waited long before that, for it is said
to have been grown in Virginia as
early as 1854. Timothy grass Is we'll
known in several countries, but we
know little of its origin. 1t was prob
ably developed slowly from its wild
form. Its name is said to have
originated in North Carolina or V1r-
ginia. Its principal c%ultivator in
those two states was a man by the
name of Timothy Hansen, who must
have grown it as early as 1850. 1t is
said to have originated in North
America and to have been taken te
England. This is contrary to the pre-
vailing public opinion, which is tina
it originated In England.

WHAT WAS 1T
The Woman Feared?

What a comfort to find it is not the
awful thing" feared, but only chronic
indigestion, which proper food can re-
lieve.
A woman In Ohio says:
II was troubled for years with indi-
gestion and chronic constipation. At
times I would have such q gnawing
in my stomach that | actually feared
/ had al dislike to write or ever
think Of what I feared.
Seeing an account Of Grape-Nuts
I decided to try it. After a short time
| was satisfied the trouble was not
the awful thing / feared but was still
bad enough. However, ! was relieved
Of a bad case Of dyspepsia by chang
ing from improper food to Grape-Nuts.
Since that time my bowels have
been as regular as a clock. ! had also
noticed before I began to eat Grape
Nuts that / was becoming f~orgetful q
where / put little things about the
house, which was very annoying.
but since the digestive organs have
become strong from eating Grape
| Nuts, my memory Is good and my

ARM FACTS.

The better the steer the more out
door exposure can he stand in a cold
climate.
The market for poultry products Is
bound to improve continually with the
increase of population.
II the horses are kept comfortable
and the stables clean during the
changing weather of the fall there
will be much saved in doctors bills. 1t
is the exposure during the fall Of the
year and not the excessively cold
weather in the winter that causes
horse ailments.
It should be remembered that the
hog is no more OF an exclusive grain
eater than the steer. He needs an
abundance Of grass or roughness OF
some kind at all times Of the year to
make a profitable growth. If green
grass can not be provided, then give
clover or alfalfa hay.

MAKES A SPLENDID SHOWING
Missouri Paeific's Gross Earnings In
crease, and Expenses Decrease.

The Missouri Pacific system Gnelud-
ing the st. Louis, Iron Mountain e.
Southern and the Central Branch)
operated last year for 66.S per cent,
as against a ratio of 67.9 per cent.
in the preceding year, which, on its
face, is a very creditable showing,
and which improves upon examine
ton. Gross earnings were $751; 03, 342,
the largest in the history of the com
pany; net earnings were 1888, 27z.
To net earnings add $685. S2 other
income, and the total available income
is $19, All ,555, of which taxes. inter-
est on funded debt and equipment
trust obligations, and sundry Other
charges consumed sos per cent, or
t11, 773,452. The $7,69S 1903 remainder
equaled SO per cent. on the outstand-
ing s77,S17,875 capital stock.
That this result was not obtained at
the expense of the property is shown
by the following percentages: Gross
earnings increased 9.3 per cent; ex-
penditures for maintenance of equip
ment increased 81 per cent; expendi-
lures for maintenance Of way and
structures increased 9.S per cent; the
cost of conducting transportation In
creased &c per cent; general ex-
penses increased 1T per cent. The
secret of the company's showing Is In
the small increase in the cost OF con
Quoting transportation. Expenditures
for maintenance Increased in greater
ratio than gross earnings. but as
against an increase Of 9.3 per cent. In
gross earnings is an increase of but
2.6 per cent. in the cost of conduct
ing transportation.
There is obviously nothing in the
showing made by the company for thu
