that a movement was on foot among his
influential friends to organize a popular

Crnn Rofntian,

An experiment reported in South
Dakota bulletin has been in progress
since 1897 A revised outline of ear
lier results is here given. The purpose
of the present bulletin is TO show which
crops reduce soil fertility and which
maintain its productivity. The best
order of succession of crops is also
shown as indicated by these results.
The best average yields of wheat
were secured after either corn or po-
tatoes Results following these two in
order OF merit were obtained from
summer fallow, millet. vetch. peas,
wheat and oats. The Introduction of c.
cultivated crop into the rotation was
found to become more important, as the
conditions for the production of a max
imum total crop were more unfavor-
able. especially If due to dry season.
1t was found that wheat is a more
particular crop than oats and requires
better place in the rotation.
The culture OF Canada field peas
and vetch Increased the growth OF
straw in the following crops, but gave
no material increase In the yield of
grain. This was most marked where
the peas were plowed under as green
manure or fed with hogs. Green man
uring with peas has so far shown no
benefits over a summer fallow.
At the end OF eight years land grow
ing wheat and corn alternately is pro-
ducing better total crops of wheat than
land growing wheat alternately with
yetch and with summer fallow. Manur-
Ing land growing wheat alone has so
far not been profitable. but a decided
profit was secured In manuring land
for corn. Where the corn crop was
manured a residual effect was observed
for at least four years.
1t rs belieTed that In the best rota-
lions of South Dakota the land should
be sown to some perennial grass for
short term of years, and that bronze
grass Is well adapted to this use.
Flax was not more exhaustive OF
the fertility of the soil than the other
grain crops

The hen, too, is more inclined to be-

objection. Generally the egg produc-

it is more profitable to keep the hen
as long as she continues to lay well,

combination with his fingers.

to learn the trick of picking COM
binations. studied all the locks there
were, and l had three safes of differ
ent makes to practice on. The ear is
the most important factor in my
method, and it must be held tight
against the safe door on line with
the tumblers. When the knob Of the
lock is turned slowly and one of the
tumblers reaches the corresponding
notch to the first number of the COM
bination the tumbler will fall with a
little click. Care must be taken not
to displace this lumber. You keep
on trying the knob back and forth

Thinking ones Self to Death.

Thousands of persons actually think
themselves to death every year by all
lowing their minds to dwell on morbid
subjects.
The idea that one has some Incl
pient disease in ones system, the
thought of financial ruin, that one is
getting on in life without improving
prospects-any of these or a thousand
similar thoughts may carry healthy
man to a premature grave. A melan-
choly thought that fixes itself upon
ones mind needs as much doctoring
AS physical disease IL needs to be
eradicated from the mind or it will
have just the same result as ne
elected disease would have.
Every melancholy thought, every
morbid action and every nagging
worry should be resisted to the ut
most, and the patient should be pro-
tected by cheerful thoughts, Of which
there is a bountiful store in every
ones possession. Bright companions
are cheaper than drugs and plasters.
The morbid condition of mind pro-
duces a morbid condition of body, and
if the disease does happen to be in
the system it receives every encour-
agement to develop. We need more

that the patient can do neither, and
simply struggles and gasps A doc
tor conceived the idea of putting his
hands, one on the back and the other
on the front of the chest, and squeez-
