Crop Rotation.

System in farming is the thing to
be advised If the very best results are
desired This may be in the manage
ment of the crops grown, and also in
the stock kept. 1t includes both stock
and crops taken together, II the view
point is how the farm can maintain
all the stock that the land Is capable
of sustaining from the products of
the farm. The best or most success
full farmers, where grass and grain
crops are the dependence for profit,
are those who grow farm animals Of
all kinds in such number that all the
hay, straw, fodder and grain are con-
sumed upon the farm, ii indeed, there
is not more or less bought, and fed
also.
Stock farming, or the growing of
farm animals, presupposes that all
waste from the farm is eliminated.
That is to say, there is opportunity
to use everything that can be pro-
duced for food. There is great econ
omy in so doing. The amount of fer
tilizing material is also greatly in
creased and this properly used in
creases production. The more man
ure rightly handled, the more grain
and grass, and this makes It possible
to increase the amount of stock.
Along with this is to be considered
the vast amount of fertiling mater
ial drawn from the atmosphere. The
land grows richer year by year, and
the whole movement tends toward
building up both stock and crops.
On a well regulated system Of
farming to use all the products as
food for stock, an abundance of grass.
both for pasture and hay is OF gr1s
Importance. Clover and timothy
mixed, are fine for both grazing and
for making hay. If there is a4
abundance of ground, permanent
blue grass pastures are very fine. It
is advisable to grow corn, rye and
oats, in considerable quantities. Use
all the manure that can be made, ON
the meadow lands. This will give
very large yield of hay, and forms
heavy sod for corn crop. Break
this kind of sod ground for corn each
season, and follow the corn crop with
small grain in autumn or with oats
in the spring, and then SOW down.
again in grass. This kind of rota-,
tion will insure increased fertility Of
soil even without applying manure.
but the manure should be applied
carefully also.
Systemize or classify the animal
so as to grow cattle, horses, shee
and hogs, and make it point not t
dispose of any kind of animals unit
they are mature. Raise the calves
colts, lambs and pigs, by keeping
abundance of the best breeding stoc
upon the farm, and feed judiciousl
until they have arrived at the ar
and size that will insure a goo
money value. The larger the farI
the more successful can systemat
stock and grain farming be mad
but it pays even on small scale.-G

The Male.

Do not be surprised at price OF
TWO or three dollars for a pure-bred
male. The value added to a flock of
hens by the introduction of pure
bred male is nearly a hundred per
cent, says Farm and Fireside. The
mongrel is thus crowded out, and the
fock becomes more uniform. The
new 5lood gives vigor, and i larger
proportion of the chicks will be
reared to render service next year,
and They will produce more eggs and
meat proportionately than the pres
ent flock. There is nothing in which
farmer can more profitably invest
a few dollars than in pure-bred
males.

Wrong Way Of Planting Fruit Trees,

Two years ago / passed neigh
Dor farm when he was having a lot
of fruit trees set out. The man set
ting them would dig hole about
eight inches across and same depth,
then he would huddle the roots of the
tree together and crowd them into
the hole all in a bunch, then pack
the dirt around them. The lot was
IN grass when the trees were planted,
and in grass it remained. A few days
ago l passed the place again and
looked at the trees. Most of them
were dead, and the few that remained
had grown but little. 1t is simply a
waste of time and money to set trees
and neglect them in this manner

Tinfoil, which is extensively use

Tinfoil, which is extensively used
for wrapping tobacco and other arti-
cles of commerce, is a combination
of lead with thin coating of tin on
each side. 1t is manufactured in the
following way: First, a tin pipe is
made. This pipe is then filled with
molten lead and rolled or beaten to
the thinness required. In this pro-
cess the tin coating spreads simulta-
neously with the lead core and con-
tinuously maintains a thin, even coat
ing of tin on each side of the sheet
of lead, even though it may be re-
duced to thickness of only one
thousar dth of an inch or less.

Corn For Fodder.

There is going to be great deal
OF late corn this season. The crop
is practically out of the hands Of
growers, and about all we can do is
to hope for good ripening season.

Will be cut up for fodder. If the

reflected into the eye of large lens

Galleries Under the Sea,

At Cape Breton there are immense
eolleries being worked under the
ocean. These submarine mines cover
a thousand acres, and are being in
creased steadily. The mines are en-
tered at the shore, and the operators
follow the vein beneath the water for
more than mile. 1t might be ex-
pected that the weight of the water
would force its way into the mine.
The bed of the ocean is as tight as
cement cistern. A sort Of tireclay
lines the submarine roof Of the mine,
and the sediment above is held in
place and packed down by the water
pressure until there is not crevice
nor a drop of water from overhead.

full of salt, one-half teaspoon onion
Juice, one-fourth teaspoon mace and
a small pinch of cayenne pepper. TO
make it especially palatable Il raw
oysters chopped rather coarsely, are a
great improvement, although the oys'
tiers are by no means necessary to
make the steak palatable. Mix all To-
gether and mould into small steaks
fry in butter and when cooked pour
tomato sauce over the whole and

To finish the edges of doilies or
other buttonholed edges cut the goods
a little distance from the line where
the buttonholing is to go and hem it
back to that line. Then buttonhole
the folded edge. This prevents the
