The Rotation OF Crops,

Farmers read great deal about
rotation OF crops. They don't pay
much attention to 1t in the Southern
United States, but when they do they
think the result has been accomplish
ed In changing from cotton to corn,
and from corn to cotton.
Farmers Of extraordinary foresight
think they have more than accom-
plished 1t when they add oats or COW
peas to the rotation. Very few OF
them ever think Of adding cattle as
one element Of the rotation, but as a
matter of fact that is the most 1m-
portant feature Of all. If the farmer
would set apart certain piece of
land and grow cotton on 1t one year
and another strip Of land and grow
corn on 1t the same year, and on ano-
ther grow peas, and on still another
strip maintain large herd OF beef
cattle or dairy cattle, and then In sue
ceedfng years swap these strips
around, he would commence to get
the full value Of his land and his en-
ergies.
The cotton farmer would Of course
never think OF abandoning his cotton
crop one year to grow corn for the
sake Of rotation, but the rotation can
be accomplished each year by divid-
ing the farm up into different sections
as above described.
The cattle crop is O. somewhat new
proposition for the cotton planter,
but 1T is a most loical one. A large
number Of cattle can be maintained
throughout most OF the year on
comparatively small area with the
ordinary surplus farm products with
out much extra care. In the few
months OF the year when these crops
are not available the farmer In the
cotton region is especially blessed on
account Of being near to oil mills,
where he can buy cotton seed meal
and hulls, which make the most val
auble feed stuff known. All the while
that these cattle are fattening or pro-
ducing milk and butter they are also
enriching the land and by continually
moving the cattle pens from, one por-
tion OF the farm to another, the value
OF the land can be almost infinitely
increased.

How to Relieve Condition.

In order to relieve the probable

ton and the threatened stringency of

Farmers Cotton Union has placed an
agent In Europe to place Farmers
Union cotton there, where both stor-
age and interest. are much cheaper
than on this side Of the water. Be-
sides this cheaper rate of interest and
warehousing, the cotton will be close
to the mills when the prices get right.

FINANCIERS RUINED BANK.
Not Broke, But Badly Bent, Heinze
Returns to the West.

New York, October 19.-F. Au-
gustus Heinze, his fortune shattered,
bitter against Wall street, with men
of Wall street bitter against him, is
returning to the West as a producer
of copper. 1t is said that he lost
$2O,000,000 in the slump of copper,
and while he Is not believed to be
broke" he Is badly bent"
Already the former copper king"
has, so 1t Is said to-day, offered for
sale his stock in half dozen State
and national institutions in Manhat-
tan and Brooklyn. The sale OF this
stock will enable him, 1t is believed,
to carry on his large business inter-
ests in the West.
Although Heinze has resigned the
presidency Of the Mercantile Nation
al Bank, the place has not been ac-
cepted up to this time by William
Barrett Ridgely, Comptroller OF the
Currency. The situation Is admit
ted to be most complicated.
II still hold a controlling interest
in the Mercantile National Bank. l
have not parted with a share of my
Mercantile stock" said Mr.. Heinze.
He was silent for time, and then
continued, his voice rising in anger:
II would like to say this about the
Clearing House Committees: They
we're asked to come into our bank

They found 1t perfectly solvent and
said so. Later they added that gra-
tuttous blow about the surplus i'm

that-nothing more nor less than to
induce our depositors to withdraw
sheir deposits. A fine game! They
we're endeavoring to attract deposits
10 their own institutions, and they
started a run on the bank"
There has been no run on the Mer-
camille National Bank, and none Is
expected. 1t Is admitted, however,

aank when Heinze took the helm

"You do?"
Yes, do. She may have a squint
and wear bad fitting clothes and big
shoes, yet admire her."
"Why?"
"She knows how to get off the car

aisle and briskly descended to the
street. And the conductor, with his
hand on the bell rope, winked ap-
provingly at the slim man.
Then the stout woman looked
around.
Come, George" she called, and
the slim man meekly followed her.

Graft by the Cubic Foot.
(Everybody's MAGAZINE }

(Everybody's Magazine.)
In several rooms of the capitol at
Harrisburg is a type of mahogany Of
flee table feet long, wide, az
high. The cost Of each table to San
derson. the contractor, was $40. He
charged the State $1,472, a commits
sion Of $3.50 per cent. Still more
remarkable are two rostrums, for
which $4,000 were paid the builder,
and for which the. State paid Sander
son $90,74S.8O, a commission of A.
305 per cent
1t appears that all this furniture
and much more was bought by San
derson by the piece, but was sold to
the State by "the foot at $18.4O a
foot. If we now take the dimensions
Of the mahogany table, which origi-
nally cost $40, and compute It's feet
by multiplying its length by its width
and the result by its height, thus:
Four times 8 Is 80, " times 80 is
so, and then multiply $18.40 by so,
we reach the sum Of $1,472, or the
price of 80 cubic feet Of table paid
by Pennsylvania to Sanderson. This
gentleman by similar multiplication
found that there were 88 feet of
backing standard so reached the
price of $1,619.2O for that article.
The rostrums were dealt with in
the same cubical way, as were the
hundreds and thousands of other OBJ
jects that you will find distributed
through the five stories Of the enor-
nous building. We Pennsylvania
taxpayers have paid for I don't know
how many thousands OF feet Of clocks,
of umbrella tubs, Of clothes trees,
and Of filing cases.
