MORE ROTATION NEEDED.
Farmers Who Have Not Adopted Sys.
tenn Should Do So.

Some of our farmers have adopted
systems Of rotation but more need to
do so. We have as yet too many
farmers that are growing one crop on
the same area continually. Where
there is rotation, 1t is noted that the
rotation frequently consists of the fire.
uuent changing of two crops, like corn
and oats. wide rotation is better
than a narrow one, for by the wider
system of rotation a greater number
Of crops can be grown. Thus. rota-
tion that includes clover. potatoes,
peas. beans, corn. wheat and oats. is
far better than a rotation OF corn and
oats only. Although rotation will not
of itself keep up the fertility of land.
It assists greatly in keeping the land
in a good condition, by keeping 1t free
from weeds and predatory insects
Many farmers already grow half a
dozen crops on their land and could
easily change their methods so that
these crops would follow each other
on the same fields rather than each
crop growing in particular place
year after year
To keep up the land, rotation OF
crops should he combined with a good
system of fertilizing, says Farmers
Review On the great fertile prairies
of the west the farmers have become
so accustomed to farming without put
ting manure on the land that they
have already continued the practice
too long Even new land will not
stand this process forever

INSTALLATION AT HOUSATONIC
 VALLEY LODGE.
 The officers of Housatonic Valley lodge were installed on the evening of February ', by Brother Read, assisted by Brothers Shipman, Wheeler, Cush- l ing, Hale, Thompson, Stroh and Trant. After the officers were installed Grand Master Trant delivered to our keeping for this year the banner offered by the Grand lodge for the largest per cent of gain in members and we feel it quite an honor to be able to have that dis tinction, as we are in a very thlnly
 ettled community. After that Broth CT Marsh, the oldest Past Master of Housatonic Valley lodge. was called on. He came forward and with some very appropriate remarks took the mortgage from his pocket and a match from an other and burnt the same, and our hall and lodge room that has been unuer a mortgage for the last 12 years is clear. After this we listened to remarks by visiting Brothers and others, after which we were invited to the tables which the ladies had so very bountl- fully prepared, where all partook of the good things. At about l2.30 all retired to our homes feeling tired but happy to think that we were free from debt and also that we were the ban ner lodge for at least one year.

While the sum received has been generous it is not adequate to meet all the demands of this first year, fitting up room, tables and many other incidental expenses, still we are assured that others will help. aaWe know our citizens will pro mote so good project. Small contri- buttons from many make large sum total, and in scheme of this nature Sl.OO from 50 shows more interest and public spirit than $50 from one individ- ual.

A CURE FOR COLDS.

The writer once heard a skillful phy-
 sician say that hardly person went
 through a New England winter with
 out having one or two heavy colds. It
 is not difficult to believe this assertion
 when we consider the sudden changes
 of a climate where drop of 40 degrees
 the temperature is possible within 24
 hours and that one person suffering
 with grip cold passes it around the
 family circle and to his friends during
 work hours. Few people realize that
 single cold is unnecessary through the
 winter season and that a simple rem
 edy which will both prevent and cure
 lies at our door. The remedy is not
 patented and is free, at least to all
 country people. Now Natures cure is
 water, just drinking water from clean source. In summer time the weather conditions make people thirsty and the supply needed to cleanse the system of waste is taken naturally, but in the winter when pump and well water is icy swallow or two with meals is about all the careless man gets. The cold weather appetite, with it's meat diet, gives the body extra work and in a few weeks time nature refuses to care for the wastes without water to rinse out the system, the kidneys con- gest and a cold follows. We innocently think that draft or insufficient cloth ing brought us the grip when these ap- parent causes were only the straws which broke the camel's back. Our old fashioned country people ate salty foods and drank more water. Even then they realized that the system need ed clearing out after the winters work and instead of depending on water as l they went along, the old folks who lived through took course of blood medicine compounded from various herbs which were supposed to be diu- retic. Now many an elderly man or woman living on strong tea and coffee shuns the icy we'll water and suffers an attack of pneumonia in the spring which might easily have been avoided by the free use of one of Gods best gifts. Water can be abused just like any other good cure and must not be taken just before or just after meal. It needs warming when the temper ature is low and midway between meals or at bedtime it will prove more useful. Two quarts for an individual in "A hours is not too much taken a glass at time. This method will not only prevent colds when they are going the rounos but will bring a cold to a quick end provided one is properly fed and clothed and have a good laxative ,onic from the family physician. Thous- ands of men and women suffering from have been helped by this simple water cure, free to the poorest # mankind. -[Washington Subscriber.
