A Strong Plea for Rotation
of Crops.

1t seems that every force in
nature is trying to compel the
farmer to practice rotation Of
crops. Ii corn is grown for sew
eral years on the same plat, the
land will be infected with all
manner of insects from the root
worm and louse to the insect that
eats the tassel. The farmer who
grows wheat year after year on
the same plat of ground has The
Hessian fly aud the chinch bug
to contend with; cotton planter
and tobacco planter each have
insects 20 fight and fungus dis
eases to overcome because one
crop has been grown continuous
ly for a number of years on the
same plat If rotation is prac-
ticed, these insects and diseases
may be held in check. II rota-
ton is not followed, no remedy
will destroy or overcome them. -

No Printers There.
(From the Philistine. y

The Columbus Penitentiary
News, for many years famous
and fiourishing daily paper pub
lished by convicts, has suspend
ed publication, for the very good
reason that there is not left in
that big penal institution sim
gle man who can handle type.
Bankers are there in plenty.
More than twenty, and more are
on the way. Several convict
banks might be operated, with
men to spare.
Enough lawyers are there to
take care OF an enormous amount
of legal business.
Doctors, brokers and other
"eminently respectable" citizens
are not lacking.
Business men, farmers, me-
chanics and representatives. of
almost every other department
Of industrial activity are common
there.
But there is not one printer.
The fact throws new light on
character that has long been
commonly misjudged.
The printer does not pi his
spiritual and moral form.
The printer today is a home
owner. He is Of fixed employ
ment and ne has no time for late
suppers ard fast rides in The
benzine bdggy. He is--and al
ways was-tar above the average
man in information and intelli-
gence. All the notable events
of human life pass throagh his
hands and make impress on his
brain.
The fact that more than twen-
ty bankers are in the OHIO reni
tentiary, and not one printer,
tells of the relative honesty of
the printer of today-and tells
more, for there are ten printers
in the land to one banker.
1t shows us that the most com
mon and most dangerous crimes
of today are not being commit
ted by the worlds workers.

thrift, the habit of saving things.
these are things which new
country where land and every

these virtues. If our farmers

We are not trying TO rob our

Relative Value Of Shelled
Corn and Corn Meal for
Hogs.

The Wis. Agricultural Expert
ment Station at Madison: Prof.
w. A. Henry and ID. III. Otis
made some valuable experiments
in fattening pigs or shelled corn
and corn meal.
In the ten years covered by the
experiment, eighteen trials were
made with a total of 2S0 pigs,
one half of this number receiv-
ing shelled corn as the principal
portion of the ration, and the
other half corn meal.
The feed required to produce
100 lbs. of gain varied from $50
to $50 lbs. The poorest gains
for feed consumed were made in
trial IA where corn alone was fed
to young pigs averaging "a lbs.
in weight at the beginning of the
trial. This emphasizes what is
a common experiences among hog
raisers, that an exclusive diet Of
corn is not desirable with any
class of hogs and is especially
to be avoided with young pigs.
The evil effect Of this kind of ra-
ton was shown in the decreased
thrift, appetite, and gains, and in
the large amount of feed requir-
ed to produce 100 pounds of
gain.
The best gains for feed con.
sumed were made with young
pigs in trial Is, where the grain,
consisting Of equal parts by
weight, Of corn and middlings,
was supplemented with a small
allowance of skim milk. The pig
feeder is warranted not only in
using variety Of grains, but will
find it to his advantage to add
skim milk to the ration when
ever he can get it..
The totals and averages for the
ten years show that the 140 pigs
receiving shelled corn as the
principal ration ate As, 1856 pounds
OF shelled corn and o., $50 lbs.
of wheat middiings, or a total OF
90, 1926 pounds of grain, on which
they made 1928 pounds of
gain.
The 140 pigs receiving corn
meal as the principal ration ate
so, ,647 pounds of corn meal and
"a ,189 pounds Of wheat mIddl.
ings, or total of 1886 pounds
of grain, on which they made
10, ,89l pounds of gain.
The 140 PIGS receiving the
corn meal ate 5, 5,510pounds more
grain and made 2,036 pounds
more gain than the $40 pigs re-
ceiving shelled corn.
The pigs receiving the shelled
corn consumed an average of sol
pounds OF grain for each 100 lbs
OF gain.
The pigs receiving corn meal
consumed an average of All lbs
of grain per 100 pounds of gain,
thus producing 100 pounds of
gain on 80 pounds of less grain
than the pigs receiving shelled
corn.

They had their effect. While Mat thews was doing this the colonel did not glance away from the council fire, yet he knew that in the semicircle there was genuine consternation. Grunts, startled, angry, threatening, ran up and down the line. Those war riors named for possible execution alone were silent.
 Presently one of the others spoke. If we tell you where to go, how do we know the white chef will not fall upon the winter camp of our brothers as Custer, the Long Hair fell upon Black Kettle's?"

comfortable by moving up and down. Their commanding officer and the in- terpreter went in. At their appearance the warriors rose gravely, shook hands and motioned the white men to take seats upon robe placed at Lame Foots left hand. The air in the place was already beginning to thicken with gled smell of tobacco and skins made it nauseating. Colonel Cummings would gladly have hurried his errand. But Indian etiquette forbade haste. : He was forced to contain himself and let the council proceed with customary and exasperating slowness.
 1 The first step was the pipe A young Sioux applied burning splinter to a sandstone bowl and handed the long stem to the medicine man. His nos trils filled he gave the pipe to Colonel Cummings, from whom in turn 1t pass ed to Matthews, Standing Buffalo, Canada John and thence along the curving line of warriors. When all had smoked the bowl was once more filled and lighted, and once more it was sent from hand to hand. Not un- til this ceremony had been repeated many times did the council come to speech.
 But neither the commanding officer nor his interpreter made the first ad- dress Though the braves guessed that something unusual had brought about an assembly at this hour and though their curiosity on the subject was childishly live, they surpassed their captor in patience. Stolidly they look ed on while Lame Foot rose to his feet.
 The war priest was not the figure that had led the band south after the battle-not the naughty, stately brave that the sentimentalist loves to pie ture. He was feathered and streaked as before. A stone mallet hung from his belt But he wore no string of bears claws. They had gone the way of the sutler, which was tasty way, strewn with bright labeled but aged canned goods. And as for his en- broidered shirt, it was much soiled and worn, and he had so gained in

 Brown Mink is young," she said. "She is but an unfedged crane walk l ing in strange waters. But she speaks with the voice of her father, your mighty chief that was. Canada John talks straight. One of a double tongue must go. The white chief is very angry, so that he plucks the hairs from his hands. The squaws must be brought back or four braves will be choked by ropes. But who can make things smooth? Only the Double Tongue. Promise him much-promise to help him drive the thief from his land."
 Matthews strengthened up.
 She put out one arm and measured small length upon it. "When our warriors come thus short a space will it take to rid the land" she said. And was gone before any could answer.
 There was a long "Ho-o-o" of as- sent.
 Whats this all aboutf' asked Colo nel Cummings.
 "She wants me t go," said Mat thews.
 Well. so do l."
 The Indians conferred among them selves. Suddenly. as if they had reached a decision, they fell silent and settled back. Lame Foot spoke.
 "In the moon of wild strawberries" |" he said, "the sun is warm and the grass is growing" He turned to the interpreter. Ask our brothers to send the women. then and follow them. We shall go free, and as we go we shall free the land"
 But if your brothers cannot comeT" said Matthews.
 Lame Foot answered. 'The white chief will send us to Standing Rock agency. From there braves will go out to hunt-and arrows fly silently. There are some of two tips. These bite like the rattlesnake"-
 Matthews rubbed his chin. He knew that what Lounsbury had told him in the coIoneI's library was true. All le- gal and moral claims to the valuable town site across the river were gone He could secure the land only by un- derhand means. And here were those who would do what he dared not.

 There was one Indian not of the council to whom his words meant more than freedom. That Indian was Squaw Charley X moment after Colonel Cummings arrival the pariah had crept noiselessly into the lodge and lain down in the shadows.
