Change I'm Cotton GROWING,


Flat cultivation of cotton, as intro.
duced by the Arkansas experiment sta
ton. is finding favor with the lint
growers Of that State over the old
method of hill tillage, the advantage
being In the saving of labor and econ
omy of seed and, 1t is declared, a bet
ter yield 49,.
Under old practice, says the South
west Magazine, the soil was thrown up
In furrow and the seed sown con-
tlpuously In n drill. Later the plants
were thinned to single stand by hoe
ing the entire surface of the cotton
row and cutting away nineteen Of
every twenty stalks.
Flat cultivation consists of thorough
ly preparing the seed bed and plant
Ing the cotton In checks IS to "a inches
apart In drill, to enable cultivation
In both directions-a method that Will
naturally lessen the work of a chopper
and save greater part of the seed.
Government Burns Ashes.
The burning Of ashes mixed with
coal, tried by officers of the District
of Columbia has so far been SO sue
cessful that 1t is hoped saving Of
100000 year may be effected In the
one item of ash collection alone.
The experiments are being made in
the great furnaces of the government
printing office, and If 1t is finally dem
onstrated that the process produces the
results claimed for 1t, the ashes from
private residences. which are now
thrown away, will be utilized In tile
heating plants of the district govern
ment Institutions. 1t is altogether like
~ that federal government departments
everywhere will follow the example Of
the local government In utilizing the
ashes now thrown away.
Another feature which anneals
strongly to, the Washington authorities
Is almost entire absence of smoke from
furnaces In which coal is burned by the
new process.
Frog Raising.
The Pennsylvania department of fish
cries has been studying the problem of
commercial frog raising. and now be-
lieve that enough information has been
gathered as to the life history Of the
frog and his food habits to make such
ventures possible.
For profitable frog culture, 1t is
stated that at least three acres are re-
quired, which should, be divided Into
at least three ponds, all of which
should be carefully fenced to prevent
the mature frogs from escaping.
AT the outset, a small pond is re-
quired for Matching eggs, and devel-;
oping tadpoles and the other ponds, for !.
the young frogs, the 2-year and the 81
year-olds. The tadpoless eat any dead
animal matter, but the mature frogs
exist principally on live insects, which
are attracted to the ponds by placing
boards smeared with honey near. the
edges Of the water. .......... =,
For young tadpoles, 1t is estimated
that one pound of fish or liver is suffl-
Client for a weeks rations for about
1900.
1t is reported that the principal enc
mics of the young frog and tadpoles
are BIRDS snakes, cells, fishes and the

FOR SECOND BRIDGE
Big Petition Asks County Board and
City Council to Act.
From MONDAYS Da


The county board met this afternoon,
and one of the interesting matters to
come before it will be the first step to-
ward getting a second bridge across the
Minnesota river at this point a largely
signed petition has been prepared for
presentation to the county board and the
city council, asking them to instruct the
county surveyor and city engineer to as
certain where the best place for the
bridge would be and what the cost would
be-
From expressions from members of the
county board it is felt that it will be
willing to assist to some extent i'll the
construction of another bridge. If the
state. county, city, street car company
and the citizens of Mankato and North
Mankato will all help it is thought that
the funds for another bridge can be
raised.
The new bridge built over the Mime
sofa river at Judson. with long treste
approach on one side, cost about $1,000
This bridge has two spans. 1t rests upon
tubular piers. Stone piers will cost more,
ats well as being more stable, and it may
be that three spans will be required
