Rye 10. Pasture ana soiIinp.

Rye is not half appreciated by the
American farmer. 1t Is very hardy,
will grow on the poorest land, makes
good winter and spring pasture and if
sown early enough makes good fall
pasture. 1t is a good early spring soil
ing crop. II makes a fair quality of
hay If cut In bloom or before, and 1t
always sells at good prices and makes
the best of bedding for cattle and
horses. 1t is also an excellent green
manure crop for turning under in
early spring. While it does not add
nitrogen, as the clovers do 1t makes a
great deal Of humus, and thus i'm
proves the texture of WORKOUT soils.
1t will grow In any section that can
grow any of the small grains. Where
corn or potatoes or cowpeas are grown
after corn, rye may be sown In the
corn at the time by laying by" or may
be sown on the stubhle after the corn
Is cut and be plowed under in the
spring for any of the crops mentioned.

Push Insurance salary Curb.

According to comment of members Of
the Legislature, former President Cleve-
lands brief against the passage of legis-
lation limiting salaries of officers of in
surance companies will hardly persuade
the lawmakers not to pass bill to that
effect now pending before them. Speaker
Ekern of the Assembly. Secretary of
State Frear and others who are pushing
the proposed legislation declare that
Cleveland's protest will not appeal fav-
orably to Wisconsin legislators. The
Wisconsin bill provides that no salary
of any officer or employee of an insur-
ance company shall exceed $4,000 year
unless the policy holders of such com
pany specifically authorize larger sal
airy. Most of the lawyers in the LegiS
lature are of the opinion that the pending
bill, if passed, would be constitutional.
