Close Cropping Methods.

A correspondent of Rural New York
er, writing about visit to Weathers-
field, Conn.,, says: The town is noted
for its onion raising and formerly for
onion seed and garlic. They also raise
a good deal Of celery. and their method
of doing this was new to me. At the
time the onion seed is planted every
third, fourth or fifth row is planted
with celery seed, the plants later thin
ned and plants removed used for the
later crops, the distance between the
rows of celery being determined by
the strength Of the land. The onions
are ready to remove before the celery
is ready to be bleached with boards
for the early market. Later It Is pit
ted for the winter. Two crops are
taken off the ground with good profit
to skiilful growers Stable manure is
plowed under, and the ground is heav-
lily top dressed with chemical fertilizer.

Hon. James Wilson, the secretary of

Opinion ON some of Secretary WILL
sons Figures.
Prefacing its remarks with the asser-
ton that "our national secretary Of ag-
riculture never lets a story shrink in
the telling" Ohio Farmer comments
critically upon some items of Secretary
Wilson's last annual report as follows:
Take our largest crop, corn, OF the
corn crop of 1904 Omitted States statis-
teal abstract, page 1856 only 259 per
cent was exported" and 81. Al per cent
was retained for domestic consump-
tion." These percentages include both
corn and cornmeal. We have not the
exact figures (and they cannot be OBJ
tained) for the per cent used here az
human food, drink and use, including
cornmeal. whisky, glucose, starch, etc.,
but 1t is wholly probable that IT per
cent will far more than cover this. So
that Of our main crop, corn, more than
so per cent is fed to domestic animals
in the United States, and this 80 per
cent is therefore counted twice in the
secretary's figures land the newspa-
pers' boasting)-counted once as corn
and again as butter, eggs, beef, pork.
wool, etc. And essentially the same is
true of hay, oats and some other crops.
Per Cent of Profit.
Commenting still further on Secre-
tary Wilson's figures as they relate to
the yearly production Of wealth on
farms, Ohio Farmer concludes "that
even II we allow half for taxes, labor
and other expenses 1t will give us over
10 per cent per annum as the net In

richest and best farms of Illinois and
Ohio do not net their landlord owners

The Luxuriou. Romans.

The Romans had no flower shows.
There were dread and circuses," but
not bread and flowers. The luxurious
Roman used roses in enormous quaint
ties at his banquets. 1t was a fine joke
to have roses fall from above on guests
reclining at their tables and the fiow-
ers In such quantities as to smother
them. A writer recalls picture Of Al
ma-Tadema's 1.-THE Rose Feast Of
Elagabalus," which shows the super
abundance Of roses. To spend on a
banquet In roses 100000 sesterces,
equivalent to about 100000, is record

exaggerates.

of white cretonne stenciled with green

that often seen in a garden. From
some odd pieces of the cretonne the

lease Worrying Over the Inevitable
and Court Contentment.
How full the world is of grumblers!
Many Of tine same people who scold In
summer because 1t Is warm scold the
next winter because it is cold. There
IL no point between zero and the nine
ties that suits them. Whether the gray
clouds yield rain or snow makes no
matter. Neither Is wanted. If skies
are clear, somebody's cistern needs
rain. If the showers descend, some
body's feathers are ruined. 1t would
add much to our happiness and detract
much from the fatal tendency to grow
old If we would strive after content
ment and cease worrying over the in
evitable. The truly happy are the hap
by go lucky, who take everything as 1t
comes and make the best of it.
If it rains, all that is hft to do Is to
put up our umbrella, If we are SO fortu-
nate as to have one, and trudge along.
Wet feet and bedraggled skirts won't
kill any one any more than poverty and
drudgery will, IL there is something
within us too sunshiny for poverty to
cloud and too noble for drudgery to de-
base The person who spends his life
scolding because things don't 60 to suit
him is like the fly on the kings chariot
wheel. Things may not be planned ex-
actly for the comfort of the fly, but his
protest will never stop the procession,

to pursue Is to take what comes along
and be glad 1t Is no worse.

Hereditary, Names.

According to the invariable custom Of
the Duke Of Richmond's family, it is
prescribed that the eldest son and the
eldest son Of the eldest son shall be
named after King Charles IL, to whom
they owe so much. The same principle
is preserved in Lord Salisbury's family,
where the eldest sons are named James,
after James l., who bestowed the earl
dom Of Salisbury and viscounty Of
Cranborne on the original founder Of
the house.-London Graphic.

POULTRY RAISING.
One Of the Most Stable Lines of Bust.
ness In the World.

BY RICHARD H. WOOD, M. d.
The incubator is an important factor
In poultry raising. 1t is a success. 1t
has come to stay, and the time Is not
far distant when it will be as neces-
sary upon every farm as is the pillow,
the mower or the separator. 1t Is a
machine the operation Of which is sim
pie. 1t calls for no hard or heavy
manual labor. A woman, a child or
even a crippled or invalid member of
the household may learn to operate
an incubator easily and successfully.
Hundreds of most excellent incuba-
tors are being made and sold, but they
are forced to compete with almost as
many that are inferior and imperfect,
IL not positively defective. Now, every
imperfect machine put out is a seri-
GUS damage to the incubator business
The purchaser of an inferior machine
failing to secure good results, sets
aside his incubator and informs his
neighbors that artificial incubation is
q failure. On the other hand, the pur-
chaser of /. good machine-one properly
made and adapted to its works. so
apt to be pleased with his success that
he encourages his friends and neighbprs
to undertake raising chickens with In.
cubators.
No Danger of 0vercrowding.
1t seems proper to answer the ques
ton, asked SO frequently, "Is there not
some danger that so many will embark
In this business that it will be overdone
and the markets be overcrowded with
poultry and eggs" Answer: No; the
demand is constantly increasing, and
more production will be followed by
increased consumption. As fast as a
regular supply can be depended upon
to the same extent will consumers
learn to avail themselves Of that sup
ply.
Again, not every one who has gone
into the poultry business will remain
In it. Many will find it not to their
liking, while others will not have suffi-
c1ent energy and persistence to learn
its details. The poultry business is
one Of the most stable lines of business
In the world today. Its products are
always in demand in every town and
city of the world. No prejudice of re-
lgion or caste stands in It's way. Sales
are not limited as to locality or season.
