OVERRIDING 4.

A young Englishman, after he had
been in Devils valley for couple Of
months, began to grow thin. Wyoming
cooking did not appeal to him. Be-
sides his squeamish appetite there
was another thing that the natives
held against him-his outIandish Gus
tom of taking bath every morning.
One day his landlady was discussing
him with a friend.
Il tell We what, SAL" said the visi-
tor, hes jest a-wastin' away a-griey-
In for some gal back east thar"
'Nothin' o. the kind" said the land
lady, contemptuously. ''You mark my

Must Keep Changing Crops,
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Must Keep Changing Crops.
To the Editor-The effect of con-
tinuously growing the same crops on
the soil year after year is shown on
the once rich prairie lands of the
West, where this method is fast ex-
hausting their fertility The results
are more plainly evident on some of
the abandoned farms of New England,
whose fertility was once mined rath-
er than cultivated when they were
new and rich.
Though different crops are all COM
posed of the same elements taken as
food from the soil, they do not use
them in the same amounts. Thus the
root crops require potash, the grain
phosphates and the forage crops nj
trogen. Plants have different meth
DDS of getting the same kind of food.
Clovers can get nitrogen from the air
and nearly all classes of plants differ
in their foraging area in the sell. So
If We grow one crop all the time 1t
Will exhaust one part of the SOIL
while not using the other.
A shallow rooted Or deep-rooted
plant should not be exclusively grown
upon any one soil. We therefore
practice rotation of crops-that is,
growing a different crop on the soil
each year from the one grown there
before. In this way we give the land
different kinds of treatment in prep
aration for the crop and during its
growth. Some crops are intertillet
and some are not, and so we give the
weeds different treatment. 1t is we'll
known that certain insects and dis
eases infest certain crops If we
change crops we disturb the home of
the insects and cut off their supply
and allow time for the diseases to die
out before we plant the same crop
again.

A passerby at Broad and Lombard
streets in Philadelphia once heard
the following dialogue between la
borer who was digging In sewer and
a stout, beaming lady with a capacious
market basket on her arm:

she leaning over and looking into the

The Farm Poultry.

Under the heading, The Hen and
Wonderful Products" the Cotton
Journal has something to say that
should command the attention and
interest of every home builder in
the South. There can be no real
home without hen. The eulogy on
the hen is as follows:
The hen is the symbol of peace and
plenty-wherever her cackle is heard
the lamp of civilization burns. The
poets have immortalized the linnet
and the mocking bird, and a brainy
congressman before his peers has
had the temerity to sing the praises
of the busy hen. Not only that, Il
great literary weekly has threatened
to lay before it's readers all there is
to tell about that Gomesticated crea.
ture which so assiduously lays the
delicate and nourisaing food classed
on the market as eggs.
The Cotton Journal is indeed inter
ested in the grea: poultry industry,
knowing that these Southern states
present opportunities for the growth
and development of other breeds sec
ond to no other section of the United
States. The cotton belt is awakening
to the importance of poultry as being
part of the supplies each and every
man should produce, who is so stu
ated as to raise chickens. One hun.
dred good hens with fha DrODpr Dur-
Der of cocks go long way toward
sustaining family when this fact is
clearly understood by our people,
very much greater interest will be
manifested in this truly important
branch of home supplies.

Despite theories to the contrary,
melons are as easily grown as cucum-

summer is unusually short. A rich,
